Masters of Fishing at Amelia Island

Leah Parker set up a back country fishing trip for her husband Tony to celebrate his achievement of earing a Masters Degree. We met up at the Dee Dee Bartels Park this morning and with the tide still a bit high, we made a run over to Soap Creek and fished a large marsh run out with live shrimp and float rigs. We got a nibble here and there then Tony hooked up and expertly played a nice Slot sized Redfish to the boat. Leah followed that up with a Seatrout catch and a rare Cigar Fish!

We eased around the corner and fished some docks and again, it was Tony who had the strong hookup up. This one turned out to be an even bigger Redfish. The duo also landed another Trout and a smaller Redfish.

The wind was picking up so we made the run back to Tiger Island and found refuge behind the trees and this worked out perfectly. Leah wrapped things up when she landed a hungry, keeper sized Seatrout on  a jig and shrimp combo. We made a quick tour of Cumberland Island, Fort Clinch and Old Town then headed in, counting it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
