I had the pleasure of fishing with Mike Morrill and his buddy Ross this morning, leaving early to fish with topwater lures on an outgoing tide.  We headed up to the Jolley River, set up outside a large creek and began tossing Zara Spooks to the marsh grass.  Walking the Dog, the anglers had a few good rolls at their lures, but no takers.  We switched to live shrimp under floats and they picked up a couple of Ladyfish bites and feisty Bonnethead Shark.  We ran back to Jolley Bank and switched to jigs and shrimp and it wasn't long before Mike picked up a Feisty Redfish.  Our next stop was the logs of Tiger Island and hear the action picked up.  Both Ross and Mike landed a couple of Redfish then Ross had a strong hookup and a fight on his hands.  He played the fish patiently and after an extended battle, landed a 22 1/2" Seatrout, putting him tied for 3rd place in The Anglers Mark Bragging Rights Tournament (scroll down right side of this report for standings).  We also picked up a couple of smaller Seatrout and Black "puppy" Drum.   We then made a  run over to Eagans Creek, fished some dock pilings, picked up a couple of feisty Redfish, a huge Stingray, then called it a day, another great one to be fishing Amelia Island waters!
