    Taking the Champ to Amilia Island for Vacation

    Going to Amilia Island for vacation July 17-24. My wife told me to take the Champ but not to fish the whole time there. Looking for some advice on where to fish and what to fish for, as well as what tackle to take. Need a chip for my Lowrance 520c for Fla if anyone wants to sell or loan one. If you live in that area, I will have a seat open a day or two Im sure. Im excited to catch some of what they have to offer, just need to know what to take so I am ready when I get there.

    Thanks

    Hans, IM KDAWG or jbradfishn and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to put you on fish down close to Amelia. Right on A1A back towards I95 is Lofton Creek, plenty of good LM bass and red bass (spot tail) to be had in there. Biggest problem is in July down there it's usually around 1,000 degrees every day with no breeze. But other than that it's real comfortable!

    Good luck and have fun. Be safe and keep a camera ready to get pictures of the gators.

    Thanks, KDAWG has sent me a ton of information. Cant wait. He has told me to get a GA license and fish up there. Is that where Lofton Creek is?
