INGREDIENTS

The St. Johns River is deep, swift and murky. Active fishing is way more fun than staring at your rod tip while waiting on a bite. So, I like to "slab spoon".....works best at the Jetties during a rising tide of clean clear green water.
So far caught:
Jacks
Ladyfish
Redfish
Croakers
Yellowmouth Trout (weakfish)
Flounder
Speckled Trout
Seabass
Whiting
Best over all slab spoon weight: 5/8ths ounce. But I carry a assortment from 5/8ths, 1/2, 3/4, 7/8ths,1, 1-1/8th, 1-3/8ths and 2 ounce. To fit all current conditions.
I'd MUCH rather vertical jig, or flutter one down the jetty rocks or over hard bottom, then cast out a bottom rig and stand there waiting.
Like Float-rig fishing. It's an active fishing. And ""Active"", is the key word!
BUY YOUR OWN "OPEN EYE" ban the split ring - swivels?
""""EBAY LINK"""
