A Flurry at the End

Ricky Williams was back at Amelia Island and had his two sons Riley and Cooper and a friend of theirs, Ian.  We met at the Atlantic Seafood dock and headed up river to fish the outside of Tiger Island just as the tide had halted coming in.  The anglers were tossing live mud minnows under floats and although we were seeing a lot of feeding activity, they had no real bites.  We moved on around to the mouth of Tiger and here the action picked up.  Cooper and Ricky found some hungry Seatrout back behind the boat and began to get
regular hook ups. We eased the boat back and the Trout action picked up.   We made a stop behind Tiger Island and on the first cast Ian was on the board with a nice Seatrout.  Although the anglers had some good bites there weren't any more fish to be had so we made a run around to the Jolley River to fish the now exposed oysters.  This did the trick because almost immediately all of the anglers were hooking up with fish.  Both Cooper and Ricky boated keeper sized Slot Redfish, Ian landed a keeper sized Flounder, and all of the anglers had Seatrout.  Both Cooper and
Riley picked up some keeper sized Flounder to give three of the anglers their own Amelia Island Back Country Slam!  We fished the bank and had non stop action until time to head in and then counted it as another great day to be fishing Amelia Island back waters!
