      Lily Pads

    There were a couple patterns at the St. John's River but the predominant pattern in the Lilipads was flipping a stick bait at spawning fish. Because there's no grass in Lake George anymore Lilipads have turned into the dominant form of vegetation.

      Lily Pads

    Started the morning fishing a small creek on the St. Johns River with a Spro Bronzeye Poppin Frog 60 on 60 pound Sunline X-Plasma Asegai paired with a Denali AttaX 7' 4" heavy power fast action rod with a Quantum Smoke S3 8.1:1 reel. Caught two fish early with the falling tide and glass like conditions and once the current stopped, I switched a more subtle presentation, a wacky rig. My setup was a #1 VMC Weedless Finesse Neko Hook paired with a Gary Yamamoto 5" Black and Blue Senko on 15 pound Sunline X-Plasma Asegai Braid with a 10 pound Sunline FC Sniper leader on a Denali Lithium medium heavy power moderate fast action rod with a Quantum Smoke S3 6.1:1 gear ratio spinning reel. Caught the majority of my fish on the wacky rig when the tide was low and the current was lacking. Most of the fish I caught were caught near matts of dollar pad and lilipads located near docks.
