A Variety of Fish Catch'n

Jaime Maloney was visiting his in-laws here at Amelia Island so he scheduled a backcountry fishing trip on The Anglers Mark along with his kids Aidan and Maeda and his father-in-law Bill Cutler.  We left the Atlantic Seafood dock at 7:30 Friday morning and headed up to Tiger Island on the during the last two hours of an incoming tide.  Fishing the outside of some downed trees, Bill had a strong bite and a wild fight with a large Ladyfish.  The young anglers had good catches of small Flounder then Aiden hooked up with a hard fighting, keeper sized Sheepshead.  Maeda joined in with the "keeper" catching by reeling in a nice Seatrout.  Jaime added to the dinner fare when he pulled in a nice 16 1/5" Flounder that put him in a tie for first place in The Anglers Mark Bragging Rights Tournament, flounder category!  We moved on to the Jolley River where the anglers picked up a few more smaller Trout, a Sea Bass, and another Ladyfish.  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
