Trout Bite Picks Up A Tad

Hopefully the warmer weather will make that water temperature rise a bit and the bite will get better. It was warmer today and we had a little bit better success than yesterday. I had met Brian Cochran, his dad Stan, and his sister Katie down at the Amelia Island Marina but we ran back north with the intent to fish Tiger Island while the tide was still coming in, which we did. Although the three anglers had a few nibbles, we had  no takers.

We cruised back through Tiger and around to
Bell River and set up along side a flooded oyster bed and here both Katie and Stan had some good catches of Seatrout.  We worked the pointe good then made the run over to Lanceford Creek to set up along a small patch of grass. Again, we had a handful of Trout with one of them being of keeper size.

Our last stop was over in Soap Creek and wouldn't you know it, we had our most success there. We were fishing behind a small grass island that had a big oyster bar behind that and then some deep water. As our floats and live shrimp drifted past the bar, BOOM! The Trout would take it. Although we only had one keeper fish, we guestimated that about 15 Trout were caught during the trip and with the beautiful weather, it made for a great day to be out fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
