The artificial bite has been good the past week until yesterday when we

were trying to fish in 35 MPH winds.We have been catching some bedding

fish on the large flats off the main river near the HighBanks area.

Scattered pads with floating grass mats have been the key to catching

the larger bedding fish.A lite 1/16 rattle weight along with a Bitters

7.5 Junebug Bluetail Worm seems to be working the best.

We have also been catching come very nice schooling fish on main river

points and shellbeds.Topwater prop baits have been the top lure for

these schooling fish at daybreak.The Blue Springs area has been a great area

for the schooling fish the past week.I have April 20th 21st 22nd and 29th

open and I still have a lot of days in May open.April and May are great times

to catch Trophy Bass on the St Johns River.Take a look at the 2008 Trophy

Page at www.basschallenger.com to see last years results for April and May.
