400 Years Under 8 Flags
Amelia Island is Florida’s Golden Isle which the French visited, the Spanish developed,
the English named and the Americans tamed. It is the only location in the United States
to have been under eight different flags.
French
British
1562 - 1565
1763 - 1783
The island’s first recorded European
visitor was France’s Jean Ribault on May 3,
1562. He named the island "Isle de Mai."
Two years later, Rene de Laudonniere
founded Fort Caroline nearby.
Spanish
1565 - 1763
The Spanish, under Pedro Menendez,
defeated the French and founded St.
Augustine in 1565. During their long dominion, the Spanish concentrated on educating and converting the natives, and the
island name of "Santa Maria" was derived
from a mission here. The mission and settlement were destroyed in 1702 by the
English. Oglethorpe renamed the island
"Amelia" after the daughter of George II.
4
The island became known as "Egmont"
from the Earl of Egmont’s large indigo
plantation. Revolutionary forces invaded in
1777 and 1778.
Spanish 1783-1821
(with 3 interruptions)
After the Revolution, Britain ceded
Florida back to Spain. Jefferson’s Embargo
Act of 1807, which closed U.S. ports to
foreign shipping, made the border town
of Fernandina a center of smuggling and
piracy.
Patriots
March 17, 1812
With secret U.S. blessings, the socalled "Patriots of Amelia Island" overthrew
the Spanish and hoisted their own flag on
March 17, 1812. They replaced it with the
U.S. flag the next day, but Spain demanded
return of the island. The Spanish completed
Fort San Carlos in 1816.
Green Cross
of Florida
Senator David Yulee, the railroad ran from
Fernandina to Cedar Key.
Confederacy
1861 - 1862
June 1817
To liberate Florida from Spanish control, Sir Gregor MacGregor seized Fort
San Carlos in June, 1817, and hoisted his
Green Cross standard. After his withdrawal,
the Spanish attempted to regain control but
were repelled by forces led by Jared Irwin
and Ruggles Hubbard.
Mexican
Rebel Flag
December 1817
Irwin and Hubbard were joined by the
pirate Luis Aury, who gained control and
raised the Mexican rebel flag. U.S. troops
occupied the island in December, 1817,
and held it "in trust for Spain."
United States
1821 - present
(with one interruption)
Spain ceded Florida to the United States
in 1821. Work began on Fort Clinch in 1847.
In the 1850s, Fernandina moved from Old
Town to become the terminus for Florida’s
first cross-state railroad. Organized by
The Confederates took over Fort Clinch
in April, 1861, but federal troops regained
it in March, 1862, and occupied it for the
duration of the Civil War.
The Golden Years 1875-1900:
Fernandina's Historic District retains the
evidence of the town's greatest period of
prosperity. Tourists flocked here via steamers direct from New York to stay in two elegant hotels. Shipping boomed with lumber,
phosphate and naval stores. The SpanishAmerican War fostered gunrunning from the
local port, and troops again occupied Fort
Clinch. After the turn of the century, tourism
surged southward.
1900-present: Early in the 20th century, the modern shrimping industry was
founded here, pioneered by Mike Salvador,
Salvatore Versaggi and Antonio Poli. Shrimp,
oyster and crab canneries prospered until
the Depression. The 30s brought two pulp
mills, Container Corporation of America
(now RockTenn) and Rayonier. In recent
times, sparked by Omni Amelia Island
Plantation and the Ritz-Carlton, the island
has gained national attention as a resort.

Danny Ellis (left) and Cassandra Conroy King
(right) are among the featured authors at the
2014 Amelia Island Book Festival.
An ambitious new part of the festival's
popular "Authors In Schools" program is
called Author Link. With corporate support and vigorous fundraising, Author
Link started in 2013 with great success.
Many Nassau County public school students and libraries received a copy of the
book written by the author who visited
their class. Over 400 books of the 15 visiting authors were purchased.
It is the Festival's desire to make this
one of the most aggressive book distribution programs in Florida. The ultimate goal is to give every student who
meets the author at Authors in Schools
a gift of a book. The success of this new
program is due to the generosity of the
Nassau County School Board, Rock
Tenn, Advanced Disposal and Amelia
Underwriters.
More authors and events will be announced as the festival date approaches.

Fernandina's
Historic District
A 50-block area of Downtown Fernandina
is cited on the National Register of Historic
Places because of its amazing preservation of
late Victorian architecture. This reflects Fernandina's great prosperity from tourism and
shipping in the late 1800s.
When Henry Flagler bypassed our island in building his railroad down through
Florida, tourism surged southward, shipping
activity soon waned, and Fernandina slipped
into sleepy obscurity. Without so-called
"progress" the old buildings were repaired
rather than replaced, and our architectural
heritage was preserved.
Centre Street remains impressive with its
"handsome brick blocks" and the side streets,
especially S. 7th and N. 6th, remain enchanting with mansions and cottages adorned
with Victorian gingerbread.
For guided tours of Centre Street and the
surrounding blocks, contact the Amelia Island Museum of History at 261-7378.
Fernandina's downtown Historic District features
unique residences, churches and commercial
buildings, including the Bailey House (above)
and St. Peter's Episcopal Church (below).

Winter Fishing at Amelia
Story and photos by Terry Lacoss
Winter fishing at Amelia Island affords
for some of the very best backcountry fishing of the year. The Nassau and St. Mary's
river systems play host to a variety of gamefish including redfish, bluefish, sea trout,
black drum, flounder, striped bass, flounder
and whiting. And in the headwaters in the
backcountry, fishermen will find trophysize largemouth bass and catfish!
Sea trout school at both the Cumberland
and Nassau sounds during the last portion
of the incoming tide, when clean ocean
waters flood popular sea trout habitats.
Here, sea trout weighing from one to eight
pounds typically feed over flooded oyster
bars, jetty rocks, the deep sides of river
channels and at deep bridge passes.
Key areas to target excellent-eating sea
trout at Nassau Sound include the mouth
of Sawpit Creek, where a shallow sandbar
drops off into a deep hole at the Nassau
Sound Bridge. Winter trout fishermen typically drift live shrimp deep under a trout
float from an anchored fishing boat in
depths ranging from 5-20 feet of water. The
small rock jetties located just north along
the beach at Nassau Sound also harbor winter sea trout during the last of the incoming
and first few hours of the falling tide.
The George Crady Fishing Pier at Nassau
Sound is also an excellent winter fishing
location while drifting live shrimp under a
trout float during the last of the incoming
tide. Some of the best trout fishing at this
popular site comes from the northwest corner of the pier.
Fishermen at Nassau Sound also have
the option to wade-fish along the shallow shoreline that runs from the northwest
corner of the bridge to nearby boat docks.
The boat docks also offer superb feeding
grounds for sea trout, whiting, flounder,
redfish, sheepshead and puppy drum.
The southwest corner of the Crady
Fishing Pier also offers excellent winter trout
and flounder action while wade fishing
along the grassy shorelines during the last of
the incoming and first of the falling tides.

These shallow, sandy grass flats also
offer excellent fly fishing action for wade
fishermen as well. A 6-7 weight fly rod
setup works just fine for sea trout weighing to four pounds. Employ a short 6-ft.
leader with a 10-lb. tippet, with a white and
chartreuse color pattern "Clouser" fly tied to
the business end of the leader. Then strip
your fly slowly along the deep edges of the
flooded grasses.
If you enjoy targeting excellent-eating
whiting, anchor your boat just southwest
of "Bird Island" in 10 to 20 feet of water.
Fishermen here normally target whiting
with fresh local shrimp. When the black
drum begin to spawn in late winter, pieces
of blue crab are the baits of choice.
Cumberland Sound is located at the
northern tip of Amelia Island and is fed by
the Nassau River, Intracoastal Waterway
and several tidal rivers. With so many tidal
rivers feeding this fertile sound, winter fishing just doesn't get any better than here!
Once again, the last of the flood tide
offers the best bay fishing at Cumberland
Sound. Fish the flooded edges of the marsh
where oyster bars attract schooling winter game fish species including sea trout
and redfish. Live shrimp fished under a
"Popping Cork" and drifted over flooding
oyster bars is key.
Bottom fishing with fresh dead shrimp
in the deep waters of Cumberland Sound
finds black drum, whiting, bonnet head
sharks, flounder, bluefish, red drum and
more. During late winter, jack crevalle,
Spanish mackerel and bluefish begin to
stage a massive attack on schools of glass
minnows close to the surface. Casting or
trolling small jigs or spoons offers fast fishing action.
Winter fishermen will also find a mixed
bag of saltwater species holding at the
St. Mary's jetty rocks including sea trout,
flounder, whiting, black drum and more.
Drifting live shrimp deep under a trout
float close to areas of the jetties where
low areas of the rocks produce a "runout"
is a deadly winter fishing tactic for trout,
flounder and redfish. Fresh dead shrimp
fished on the bottom attracts strikes from
black drum, red drum, whiting, bluefish
and more. Live fiddler crabs or barnacles
fished close to jetty rocks nets sheepshead
weighing to nine pounds.
Some of the best trophy largemouth bass
fishing of the year comes during the cooler
Winter fishing on Amelia Island is great fun for
anglers of all sizes!

Fishing from the beaches of Amelia Island can

winter months. Last winter, a number of
eight to 10-lb. largemouth bass were taken
from nearby Florida freshwater lakes and
rivers.
Fishing with wild shiners often produces
the best big bass action in area rivers and
lakes. During warming trends, largemouth
will move onto the flats and can be taken
with a variety of artificial lures, including dark-colored plastic worms and rattle
traps.
Lofton Creek is located only a few minutes west of Amelia Island, and is overlooked by many local bass fishermen, but is
considered to be one of the best freshwater
bass streams in the south. Fishermen have
easy access to this narrow tidal river from
a boat ramp and park located on AIA at
Lofton Creek. You won't have to navigate
too far down river as some of the best
trophy bass fishing in Lofton Creek begins
right at the boat ramp and runs some two
miles down river. Expect to catch striped
bass and a mixed bag of saltwater game fish
where salt and freshwater mix.

many of the close-to-shore natural and artificial fish havens. Some of the best bottom
fishing action can be enjoyed while fishing
right on the bottom with local squid, cut
baits and cigar minnows. Deep jigging with
light tackle is also becoming very popular
while tipping jigs with squid to entice a
variety of bottom species.
Look for Schultz's Fish Market, located
some five miles offshore of the south end of
Amelia Island, to harbor some of northeast
Florida's very best winter bottom fishing.
Here, drift-fishing boats will find a natural
lime rock bottom, numerous two to threefoot rock ledges and manmade reefs. Other
popular fish havens for winter bottom fishing include East FC, HH, AH, RL FA and
KBY. All of these popular offshore fish
havens are identified on the local offshore
chart with coordinates. Be sure to pick up
a copy of the Florida Wildlife Commission's
fishing rules and regulations. There are
several new regulations for current seasons
and bag limits. You can visit www.myfwc.
com for updated fishing regulation.
Northeast Florida's Gulf Stream harbors
excellent fishing for fast-swimming wahoo
that can weigh over the 90-lb. mark. Look
for some of the best wahoo action to come
while trolling in water depths from 2001000 feet of water. Large "Drone" spoons
rigged to wire lines and trolling weights
help get the lure down deep to the water
depths where winter wahoo are typically
holding.
Surf fishing during the winter produces
excellent catches of beach whiting and blues
along the beaches of Amelia Island. Fresh
shrimp is the bait of choice when fished
right on the bottom with a "Fish Finder"
setup. Look for the high falling tide to offer
some of the best fishing on foot, particularly
when a flood tide arrives at mid morning.
Key areas to surf fish along Amelia Island's
pristine beaches include the old "Pipeline",
the little jetty rocks located at Fort Clinch
and the southern tip of Amelia Island.
Non-Florida residents under the age of
16 will need to purchase a Florida saltwater
fishing license when fishing from land or
bridges. You may purchase a Florida saltwater fishing license by calling 1-888-3474356. You can also visit www.myfwc.com
for more fishing information.
