Caught these 2 at the same time on an umbrella rig

 

Then got these two on a swim jig with a rage craw.

 

All this rain we've been having past week is well needed but boy do I miss those nice sunny fishing days. I checked out my spot today and the water level has raised a bunch. I have a feeling the first nice day we get the fish are going to be going crazy, hopefully

Went out yesterday morning, got 3 and missed 3 in 45 including a 19". Not too wet or windy for the fish. LOL

Got this one yesterday near Town Center

Hey man... There is a pond with nothing but, Specs in St. John's. It is on the same side as Liberty Pines Elementry /Middle school. Right past Liberty pines. not even 1/4 mile there is a big lake on the right before the subdivision entrance. Park on the grass and go over the fence and good luck. Plenty of nice specs.

I know right where your talking about bud. Thanks for the heads up. That would be some fun for my boys.  

 

Nice fish by the way. What did you hook em on?

Haven't been posting here much lately. Caught this solid fish a couple of days ago though. Got him on a Ribbit Top Toad.

 

 

^^ nice one man.

Things been going to that summer pattern lately oh so slow n weightless. U been to Walmart lately? One on Phillips had spooks, rebels and bomber saltwater plastics for $2.50

I was just in that one. Didn't even go to the tackle section though. 

Was at Hanna Park for a beach trip for the first time today and noticed the huge lake there.  It looks like a great bass lake.  Anyone fished there in the past and can you put a john boat and trolling motor in there?  Any help appreciated.  Thanks.

I'm stationed at mayport and have Bass fished the lake a few times from the bank with no luck... But I have heard that there are some nice bass in it! im not sure if you can put a john boat in or not but i wouldnt see the problem i know you can rent paddle boats from the lil marina there. Be advised that the water is brackish which ive never had much luck bass fishin but i know ppl that have! Good luck! if im not mistaken you were stationed at kings bay right? hows the lake up there? i heard you could rent boats is that true?

Does anyone happen to know who owns the property called "Big Island Swamp" on google maps, it's in the town center directly across the street from applebees, chick-fil-a and fidelity investments. there's some large fish in there but i think you need permission to fish it.

good thinkin!

 

we went out there in kayaks and caught a 30 pound catfish and a about 20-30 bass between the 4 of us during sunrise

 

we got the boot when 2 dudes showed up in bass boat and said we needed "permission" to be on these waters

 

lake was so big we could barely see each other but these two dudes wanted it all to themselves, they were super rude about it too.

Yeah duval or city of jax will have a government website. You will find the phone numbers or direct access to a tax map there.

 

I dunno, some people might just want to be ***** about it and keep people out. But good for you doing your homework and following through on it, and if it is true you might have yourself a top spot or atleast stay out of trouble.

 

If you are doing the kyak thing I hear there are a few spots to launch around the big linked ponds in tinsel town.

The guy at work does it all the time and there are sooooo many properties etc they can't boot him. Plus it classifies as a waterway which falls under state owner/maintence, but incase you want to check talk to FWC.

i found it!

 

looks like it's owned by a man named SKINNER ARTHUR CHESTER on the tax records, maybe i'll write him a letter or call him up and ask nicely

 

man i tell ya, if the people in this world were HALF as awesome as you fellers on here the earth would be a much nicer place

 

less fish in it maybe but a much nicer place haha!

 

i'll post my results when they come in

 

cheers!

I live not too far from the hospital. Most my fishing time is in the am, so it is cooler but can't wait until it drops into the 60's at night. Then the action will be on
