Where do you fish out of? I used to go down every February and stay at Palatka and fish either Rodman or the St. Johns with shiners. We now go in the October staying at the same place, the weather is usually more stable and although don't catch the truly huge fish seem to catch a lot more in the 6- 9 lb. range, actually leaving tomorrow morning headed that way. The St. Johns is supposed to be terrific right now fishing out off the bars in the middle of the river. Great looking fish BTW
