    Default Diversity on the St Johns River


    Terry and I haven't been having much luck catching salt water fish, so we went fishing on the St John's today. Took Terry's boat and met up with a friend of ours. Caught about 15 specks (all over 10 inches), two shad (kept them for crab trap bait), 1 catfish, a croaker, a small bass (threw it back) and a bluegill (threw it back). Started to wonder if we might catch a red there too since we were catching a little bit of everything.... Lol. Got the fish on ice and planning to have a fish fry with some of our neighbors tomorrow night. It was a beautiful day on an awesome river.

    I don't care what that top 50 list says. We have some incredible fishing of all types here in many more places than those lists will ever show. I think its better NOT to have your favorite lake on the list maybe... :-)

    Well it is a possibility. I know of 2 redfish and 1 bullshark caught in Lake Monroe since I moved here in 85.

    Wouldn't that be ironic if we had caught a Red in the St John's when we are having trouble catching them in Mosquito Lagoon... Lol.

    We have been having the time of our lives. Between spending some of last winter at Lake Manatee and meeting Jamin696, Fishin813 and Luther, then going to St Johns, Monroe, and Crescent from October to January of this year and meeting all you fun and very nice people (CrappieGirl1, Phantom309, HuntinSlabs, CrappieDay, CrappieLover, you and all the other goobers) and then getting to spend some time at Mosquito Lagoon (in between working) it has been some wonderful days on the water. Thanks to everyone who has given us advice on speck fishing, cat fishing, blue gill fishing, red fishing, trout fishing, blue crabbing, shrimping, and everything else we have gotten help with.... you name it! I grew up in Central Florida and have lived here most of my life but in the last couple of years I have seen it through completely different eyes. Terry is new to Florida and we are experiencing all this together.

    Oh and Terry caught a Red today with cut fresh finger mullet!
