It was Clear. And Cold. And Windy when I met David and Lisa Howe down at the south end boat ramp. I was the only trailer in the parking lot after I launched! But these two Vermonters were bundled up and ready to experience some Amelia Island fishing so we loaded up and headed NW into the wind, running up to Seymore's Pointe to use it as a wind break, and it worked! As it turned out, we were the only anglers out today, other than a couple of crabbers running around checking their traps.
The fist dock we fished didn't produce any bites but the second one the duo got a few nibbles and
finally David knocked the skunk off with a feisty Black "puppy" Drum catch. We moved around to the Nassauville and fished the base of some rocks with jigs and live shrimp and Lisa got on the board with a nice 4-sport Redfish catch.
We wrapped up in Christopher Creek as the tide got to it's top and fished the docks with jigs and shrimp and even tossed a fly rod for a bit. It was an absolutely beautiful day if you discounted the wind and another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
