I usually fish between Lake George and Woodruff. How is the area between Woodruff and Monroe? Any suggestions?

I think Beresford to Dexter is much better.
Thanks huntinslabs, do you single pole jig?
Hey guys I am from North Carolina and I will be fishing this area of the St John's first week of March for the first time. Is that too late in the spring for this area and what are some jig colors to start with?
Grizzly;
I fish the are between Lake George and Dexter from Feb thru April and do well. Some days are better than others. I like red with chartreuse tail, all chartreuse and white. I like to single pole jig. Good Luck and be careful.
Grizzly, If you plan on trolling, 1/16 oz roadrunners with pink and chartreuse grubs are a must have. Also trolling with pink and white tubes on the roadrunners have worked good for me over the years. JC
Thanks for the pointers guys that definitely gives me a starting point. I'm looking forward to seeing and experiencing that part of Florida and fishing the St John's for the first time.
If I am fishing the river I am single poling. I Troll on the lakes.Quote:

Down here now in Aster, 1st day on the water and the wife has caught the first 2. I plan on making it down to Dexter and Woodruf this week once the wind dies downQuote:

Hey Grizzly if you need any help while you are down on where the fish are or need someone to take your family let me know and I can take you guys. I fish from lake Poinsette in Cocoa to up past Harney depending on the bite.
I am coming down from Pa to visit my sister and B-I-L near New Smyrna. Is there a spot that you can fish from shore on the St John's river or do you need to try to rent a boat? I presume we would come across and fish near Aster if possible. I suppose I should add, my brother-in-law doesn't do much fishing so I need to take the lead on this. Thanks in advance. Lou
good luck with your up coming trip. The river has been know to give up fish all year long for those who will work for them.
