Thread: God's River St. John's

Anywhere along it there's, "Gators in the bushes", I like the solitude of the surroundings, yes, definitely made w/God's hand...

Boat dock on a canal, not many houses or people, nice big old oak trees all around.........I think I'm jealous

Moving in as a rule isn't the best idea. Adding on, with a (totally) independent space can work well depending on all those involved. Especially if you own the whole thing. Just don't park your boat under the beautifull oaks. lol
The river actually begins at the Fort Drum marsh area along Rt 60 just west of Vero Beach. For practical purpose, Blue Cypress lake is the beginning. There would be quite a number of smaller lakes not even shown on the maps. Some would only be accessable with an airboat as a result of the very extensive canal systems. But others are if you don't mind a few miles of good dirt roads to the ramps. Then of coarse theres the entire Kissimmee chain just a little further west. The Indian River runs right thru Vero Beach, with the Sebastian and Fort Pierce inlets about equal distance north and south. Whats needed most is a whole lifetime to explore it all, and at least 4 good boats. lol

Got it now. Just a little slow.

Yall feel free to post your St. John's pictures.

What HS said about being central is spot on. I fished Harney one week and crescent the next and there was 2 miles different for the trip. Another jewel that mostly goes unnoticed due to the daily gees is the winter park/Maitland chain of lakes. All I wil say is that most folks that go always go again.

Was just kidding about the moving in bit.

Loving these St John's River Slabs!

Don't know how these pictures get turned sideways, but more St John's paradise
