The Yeomans, George, George Sr., and young George (Gus) were visiting Amelia Island from the Macon, Ga. area and after business conference's, were able to squeeze in a backcountry fishing trip on
The Anglers Mark Friday afternoon. We left the Atlantic Seafood dock at the City marina at 3pm and headed up Lanceford Creek to fish the last of an outgoing tide. Using jigs and shrimp, the anglers fished the dock pilings, but had no real bites. Our next stop was behind Tiger Island, fishing the exposed logs and here the fishing heated up. George Jr. had the hot rod early, pulling in a nice Slot Redfish and then adding a large 19 1/2" Flounder, putting him in first place in The Anglers Mark Bragging Rights Tournament! Gus added another keeper Flounder to the ice box. We headed up to Jolly River's Snook Creek and Gus continued his catching ways, pulling in some hungry Seatrout, and George Jr. added another couple of keeper sized Flounder. They caught and tossed a few smaller Flounder, too. Fishing Jolley Bank, George Sr. got in on the action, reeling in some Trout and the others caught some too. They also added another keeper Flounder. George Jr. claimed a personal keeper Amelia Island Backcoutnry Slam! We wrapped up the trip as the sun started down, heading in with a nice cooler of Amelia Island fish!
