Although it was still cool this morning - low 40's- the wind wasn't blowing quite so much when I met Ken Norton and his daughters Christina and Elizabeth up at the Dee Dee Bartels Park boat ramp, early. We crossed over to Tiger Island and fished the logs on the first of an incoming and when Elizabeth had an immediate hookup and landed a nice Seatrout I thought for sure we were in for some good fishing at this spot. And Christina had one on for a short second but after that the good bites were few and far between. So we cranked the big engine and ran around to fish some docks at Lanceford Creek and here things picked up. Ken started hooking up with feisty Redfish, then he boated a Slot sized fish, and added a couple more "almost keeper" Seatrout. Then Christina found a hot spot and went back to it with excellent casts, threading the needle between two pilings, and caught herself a good handful of Redfish and Trout.
When the bite slowed we ran back and fished Egans Creek bridge
on an incoming tide and although the sun was up, the wind was blocked, we had no good bites. But it had been a beautiful day, we caught some fish, so we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
