River Notes:  Specializing in Largemouth Bass, Bluegill and Catfish.  Saltwater species include redfish, flounder, tarpon, and the brackish water sea trout.  Fish are concentrated in the deeper holes and sandbar drop-offs where clean water can be found.  Anglers should target the edges of submerged vegetation along banks, sharp bends, and drop-offs near shallow bars. Traditional methods for taking all species will work. Swimming plastic worms/jerk baits and twitching shallow-running minnow imitations are preferred tactics among many bass anglers here.  Longest river in Florida stretching 310 miles.  It is not uncommon to see dolphins in the river east of Jacksonville, manatees in the springtime when the water warms up, alligators, bald eagles, ospreys, stingrays, and many species of fish, both salt and fresh water.
