Trout, Blues, Ladyfish, Redfish
Jon Han and his wife Marilyn, along with their kids David and Grace, were in town visiting Amelia Island, all the way from Pittsburgh, PA and took in a backcountry fishing trip on The Anglers Mark. We left the Atlantic Seafood dock early and headed up Lanceford Creek to fish some docks on the last of an outgoing tide. Although we had a few nibbles, no fish actually wanted our live shrimp on jigs and under floats! So we pulled up anchor and ran up to the Jolley River to fish the very last of the tide. When we began to troll the oyster lined banks, the family began to pick up fish. Grace had the hot rod at first and she caught some ferocious Blues and jumping Ladyfish. Marilyn joined in and picked up a nice Seatrout. Fishing in the back of the boat, Jon had multiple hookups with Ladyfish. We moved spots as the tide started in and had great oyster bank to fish and very little wind. David's rod turned hot and he began to catch fish, putting a nice Blue in the boat and hooking up with Ladyfish. Then we had a strong bite and David worked a feisty Redfish in to the boat with Grace handling the net. Later, David was working his jig back to the boat and POW!, FISH ON! This fish had some size and he played it perfectly to Grace's waiting net - a fat 18" Trout! With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on the water!
