If one lived on the St John's river where would be the best place
My neighborhood. Kinda middle of everything and lots of ramps close. Salt about an hour away if you got the urge.
Almost anywhere in central Florida north of Rat Town is nice. Stay away from Rat Town, drugs, crime, and high costs. Lots of nearby lakes north of there though.

Rat Town????
My .02 is north of a lake George..good fishing for crappie, bass, catfish, summer shrimping, crab...
Can catch redfish, flounder, tilapia, croakers, stripers, hybrids
I considered everywhere from Sanford up before I bought a weekend place in Satsuma off Dunns Creek....just more options for fishing to me....only about 45 min to 31st Augustine too

It's getting more crowded every year on my section of the river. (north of Monroe) My son just bought a house on lake George next to the new boat launch they are putting in near Pierson. I thing I'll be fishing George more in the future. I asked him if I could move in with him.................. Boat dock on a canal, not many houses or people, nice big old oak trees all around.........I think I'm jealous
Debary, Orange City or Deland would be my vote. About 10-15 minutes to Monroe, 30-45 minutes to Harney or Astor, hour or so to Crescent and Harris Chain, and 45 minutes or so to coast.
I have always been amazed by this river since I was a kid, there are a lot of great areas & some that are becoming very busy.
I guess it would depend on what you wanna be around & what you could afford but for me just to live on the river anywhere between Harney
and Green Cove Springs would work for me.
Anywhere along it there's, "Gators in the bushes", I like the solitude of the surroundings, yes, definitely made w/God's hand...
Moving in as a rule isn't the best idea. Adding on, with a (totally) independent space can work well depending on all those involved. Especially if you own the whole thing. Just don't park your boat under the beautifull oaks. lolQuote:

But others are if you don't mind a few miles of good dirt roads to the ramps. Then of coarse theres the entire Kissimmee chain just a little further west. The Indian River runs right thru Vero Beach, with the Sebastian and Fort Pierce inlets about equal distance north and south. Whats needed most is a whole lifetime to explore it all, and at least 4 good boats. lol
Got it now. Just a little slow.Quote:

What HS said about being central is spot on. I fished Harney one week and crescent the next and there was 2 miles different for the trip. Another jewel that mostly goes unnoticed due to the daily gees is the winter park/Maitland chain of lakes. All I wil say is that most folks that go always go again.
Was just kidding about the moving in bit.Quote:

Don't know how these pictures get turned sideways, but more St John's paradise
