(Redfish release, Mosquito Lagoon)

John specializes in sight-casting to redfish, black drum, sea trout, tarpon and snook over the  shallow grass flats of the Indian River Lagoon system.

Redfish, black drum and sea trout are a year-round fishery along with tarpon and snook during warmer periods. 

Near-shore opportunities include cobia, kingfish, tripletail, false albacore, spanish mackerel, bluefish, tarpon and jack crevalle.

American shad arrive in winter to spawn in the upper reaches of the St. John's River.

Black bass is a target on nearby lakes and rivers. 

John trailers his skiff year-round to the Florida Everglades and Florida Keys around the weather and tides to fly fish for bonefish, tarpon, permit, snook and redfish.
