North of the Cruise Terminals on SR401 is a great place to put in a canoe, kayak or rowboat and slay Redfish, Black Drum, Trout, Snook & Catfish. There are many puffers chewing plastic lure like madness. So, make sure to bring lots of spares.

This large lake (46,000 acres) is an off shoot of th St, Johns River. Alot of vegetation provides habitat for the large and numerous bass and crappie in the lake. Striped Bass are targeted on the east side in the cooler months, with the croaker hole spring being the spot during the warmer months. The jetties (south side) produce good sunshine bass year round.

Lake Loughman
View Larger Map
This 600 acre waterway is a unique mix of freshwater flow from the St. Johns River and salt water, flowing from a saltwater spring. Lying just east of the river, this very shallow lake (5 ft at most) is home to a mixed bag os species as well. Fly fisherman come to target shad and herring, while some target panfish, croaker and the likes, while others target bass or grouper (if the conditions are right). Public access can be gained via the ramp off SR 46.

Playalinda Beach
View Larger Map
Part of the Canaveral National Seashore, this beach has to be one of the most pristine places in Florida. Popular for sunbathers and surf fishing, you can expect to catch Whiting, Ladyfish, Blues, Sharks, Catfish and Pompano. The shore is populated with plenty of sand fleas, so you don't even have to bring bait if you don't want to.

St. Johns River
View Larger Map
All along this river and its lakes it connects, lake Beresford (800 acres), Lake Woodruff (2,200 acres) and Lake Dexter (1,902 acres) produce excellent catches of largemouth bass, striped bass, sunshine bass, crappie, and bream. Look along runs of vegetation and along structure as this is where the fish hole up. Also look for the mouth of Sringrun creek and Get-Out creek, where the rivers and creeks meet for schooling fish.
