The fishing on the St Johns River continues to be greatYesterday 4/13

I guided Damon and Steve a couple local fisherman wanting to learn a little

more about the St Johns River.We headed north of Lake Monroe on the river

looking for schooling fish on shellbeds and it didn't take long to find what we were

looking for.Our first stop produced 8 nice fish all coming on HighRoller 3.25

topwater baits.As this was a trip to both learn and understand the river system

as well as catch a few fish we moved on to the next area leaving these fish

busting shad every couple minutes.Next stop the wind had picked up from

the north wind blowing against the current and the shad were not coming to the

top.This area was a small shellbed and I knew the fish were there but they just

were not busting on top so I gave the guy's a C Rig and Texas rigged worm

and four more fish came over the side of the boat.The rest of the trip was just

showing good areas that will produce fish over the next few months.

We are coming up on my favorite month of the years for artificial fishing.

May is a month on the river where you can catch fish just about any way you

wish to catch them.Flipping main river pad fields will produce many big

fish over the next couple months.I am open April 16th 18th 19th 25th 26th 27th

29th and I have all of May open.As always I will be offering my special durning
