Jorge Noguera set up a last minute fishing trip here at Amelia Island while visiting his father, Jorge Sr. so we meet at the Atlantic Seafood dock this morning under cloudy skies but with almost no wind. We headed up Lanceford Creek to fish some dock pilings and after only a few casts Jorge hooked up with a Big fish, FISH ON! He played the big fish perfectly and patiently and after an extended battle that went around the boat a couple of times, landed a nice Slot Redfish measuring 25.5"! What a way to start the day. We picked up a couple of Seatrout, some smaller Reds, and then two hard pulling 19" Black "puppy" Drum. When the bite slowed we made a run around to Tiger Island and here Jorge Sr. got on the board with a beautiful copper colored 22" Slot Red. The duo added another keeper sized Drum and a 16" keeper sized Sheepshead in addition to a good handful of smaller Reds, Seatrout and Sheepshead. It was a great day to be out on Amelia Island waters fishing with a father and son fishing team!

I have the honor to know that group, nice memories of our fishing days on our island of Puerto Rico. Fishermen of great quality and experience.
What an excellent day! Capt. Piper certainly knows how to treat his customers and make sure to make you feel like a friend. He is punctual, ready, knowledgeable, patient and has an incredible sense of wisdom as it relates to fishing and the area in general. Plus, the reds we caught were the first for both me and my dad. :)
Not only did we have a fantastic experience just being out there, but the fishing (more like "catching", if you know what I mean ... lol) was excellent. Plus, during the trip he shared with us some of his expertise on local wildlife, as we were quite lucky to get a glimpse of the rarely seen mink.
Capt. Piper is an excellent captain. Top of the line, period! He is great at what he does (probably the best) and his main goal is ensuring his guests have an incredible experience. He definitely accomplished that for us during our trip and we are very appreciative of it! Thanks Capt! :)
Thanks Jorge! That was a fun trip. Glad we caught some nice fish. You need to bring your dad back! LP
