About Saint Jones River

Fishing Techniques
- For White perch
White perch often school, so if you catch one, stay in that area to find more. Vary your retrieve speed until you find what they prefer.
- For Channel catfish
Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
- For Atlantic croaker
Fish near the bottom with a Carolina rig or a simple bottom rig, croaker feed primarily on or near the seabed. Use small hooks and light tackle to detect their subtle bites.
