Mike and Shannon Maron had their whole family visiting Amelia Island this week and decided to take in a Back Country fishing trip. I met them, their daughter Libbie, and her friend Mark down at Sawpit Creek and we headed up the Nassau River to make our first stop just off some exposed oyster beds with jigs and mud minnows. We had a slow start but just as we got up to an outcrop of oysters they began to get bites. Mark started things off with a huge Bonnethead battle then Mike landed a couple of Seatrout.
We moved up the river, fished some more oysters, landed one more feisty Redfish, then moved on. Our next stop was down at Broward Island. I think we caught one more Redfish down there and we worked it pretty good.
Our final stop was back at some rocks along Seymore's Pointe and this paid off. We went through ab out two dozen minnows, caught a few handfuls of Mangrove Snapper with 6 of them being of keeper size - most in the 11-12" range. It was a good flurry of fish catching and a great way to wrap up a good day of fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
