Michael Furhman was in town with other relatives and treated his two sons Zachary and Austin to a early morning day of Amelia Island backcountry fishing. We left the Atlantic Seafood dock at 6am and headed up to the Jolley River to catch the very last of an outgoing tide. Trolling the oyster lined banks, the anglers were tossing jigs with weighted swim baits and Gulp shrimp. We had a few bites and it wasn't long before Michael had a hookup and reeled in a nice Seatrout. We cruised the same bank as the tide started back in then move on up the river where we saw numerous Shark, but had no takers. Michael again had a hookup and caught another nice SeaTrout. After a few passes of a creek run out we headed back to the Tiger Islands, fishing the log strewn bank. We didn't have any takers along there and eventually called it a day, heading in to get the anglers back in time for breakfast with the family, but counting it as another great day to be out on the water!
