Man I've fished some of those retention ponds off of the interstate out in that area and caught some nice fish. Try those if you haven't yet.

There us a big lake next to the HHGregg store in Oakleaf that has some fish in it. Pope Duval and Bethesda Fish Management Areas are both good for catching high numbers of fish (nothing really big usually though).

My main spot is an Industrial Park off of Pritchard road. There are about 6 retention ponds in there that have some absolute HOGS in them.

Hey man thanks A LOT for the info it is much appreciated. No worries about exact adresses or anything, but is the park off of pritchard road easy/difficult to find? Im all about going and searchin for myself, but knowing if it is easily seen or not would be AWESOME! THANKS AGAIN!

Yeah, it's pretty easy to spot. It's on Pritchard just before you run into Jones road. This might help.

It's more like a buisness complex they just call it a park. Lots of retention ponds in it though that have been there 15+ years.

Thanks again man!!! Yea i do for sure! Down in ponte vedra, past the main area right before you hit miklers road. There are two really great ponds in a neighborhood on your right called the Preserve. You cant miss the main pond on your right because it has these strange cypress trees just growing in the middle of the pond itself. There is no gaurd gate and you can park right at the pool next to the ponds. My girlfriend and i have caught some awesome fish there! the main pond by the road is really strange, like i said earlier. Its got the cypress trees, but also i have never seen schooling bass in such a small area pond as i have in this one. You can literally see the schools of baitfish and shortly after the bass foraging on them. Aside from this, i mainly fish at UNF. Donut lake where all of the nature trails are is a great lake/pond. You can rent a canoe for free and there are some MASSIVE fish to be had! I know, however, that there has to be some great untapped fishing areas off of Gate blvd and down in ponte vedra.

Nice, thanks man. I'll have to give that spot a try some time.

I've heard good things before about the ponds around UNF. We should fish those sometime. Are you aloud to put small boats in at the donut lake? I have a 10ft Bassbuster type boat that is killer in small lakes/ponds.

Nice. As soon as I replace the lights on my trailer it sounds like a plan.

Let me know when you plan on trying the spot on Pritchard and we can do some fishing, it's all from the bank out there though.
