St John’s River

The St. Johns River is famous for its huge largemouth bass.  This part of the river near Palatka has been consistently good for big largemouth bass for many, many years.  There are plenty of bass fishing tournaments held here and many impressive catches are caught on the river.  Many of the fishing guides use big, live shiners and there are so many big bass caught that range from 8 to 12 pounds and bigger ones are possible too.
