The month of March was awesome with unseasonabley great weather and fantastic fishing. I noted in my journal, "fish the dock pilings, wrecks, downed trees" because that's where we were finding the Redfish. Keeper sized Trout are showing up and we're seeing a few Flounder, too! Don't forget, I keep my Amelia Island Fishing Report up to date so check it out during the month to see what's biting! Get away from it all, book a trip, and Let's Go Fishing on The Angler's Mark!
Amelia Island April Fishing Forecast
If you're in to catching the big Bull Black Drum then the bite ought to be in full swing. Look for the Drummers to be anchored off main beach, the jetties and down at the breakers and pines of Nassau Sound, then up in the Nassau River at Black Hammock and Middle Marsh. Most will be fishing 1/2 Blue Crab on the bottom. In the backcountry, Trout and Flounder will be biting. Use floats and live shrimp for the Trout near the docks and over oyster beds or get down deep with jig and grub for possible larger Trout. Trout will be up in the keeper-sized range. Use jig and shrimp or Gulp fished slow on the bottom for Flounder. Speaking of shrimp, the bait shops are getting them from the west coast so you may want to call before planning to use live shrimp! Rat Reds will be getting bigger with more chance of Slot fish. Aggressive Blues will be showing up. Sheepshead are still around, fish the oyster beds in the backcountry. If you've been thinking of getting out on the water, give me a shout and we'll launch The Angler's Mark!
