Daron Carter, his fiance Lindsey, and her father Mike

These folks were visiting from the Tifton, Georgia area and were out to experience fishing on Amelia Island. In addition to fishing with me on July 9th, they had also done some surf fishing at Ft. Clinch and gone off-shore with another Captain. The tide had started back in so we ran up Bell River to fish and picked up a small trout. We then ran around to Jolley River to the "Mother of All" spots where they began to pickup some good bites, landing a few larger trout, a couple of croaker, and a few sharks. Further in to Jolley Mike landed a nice 20" trout and we also had some more sharks - one 3'+.

Joe Warwick and son, Tanner

Joe Warwick and his son, Tanner (6yrs), fished with me the first week of July. Joe and his wife, Diane, own the Florida House Inn, a Bed and Breakfast located in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida. The tide was low at 2:30pm -we launched at 3 - so it was just coming in. We tried a spot on Lanceford Creek but had no real bites so I ran up to Jolley River and anchored at the mouth of a small creek. We immediately began to catch Bonnethead Shark, landing two and losing a few others. We also caught Ladyfish. Tanner proclaimed that his dad was "the best fisherman in the world!" We also fished behind Tiger Island and came across a small manatee munching on some grass. The was a great treat for the 6 year old to see. We also spotted a Sheepshead tailing up in the grass.
