Spring is here and the fish seem to be a little hungrier than they were last winter. This is good because when you fish with grandchildren in the three to ten year range their attention spans just don't handle long periods of inactivity. When they are three they get a rubber worm with an imaginary "retractable" hook on their own junior sized closed faced rig which makes pier fishing a lot safer for anyone within "casting" range. I get the real deal and when one is hooked junior reels it in. The Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, retractable hook strategy works for now. Last outing the three year old caught a nice redfish and two catfish. The ten year has graduated to reel hooks and an open faced reel and caught an array of fish as fast as I could get bait on his hook. The baiting a hook lesson comes next with parental permission of course.
St. Johns County offers quite a selection of public fishing piers. You can fish the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal, and the St. Johns River for an amazing variety of fish species. Bridges and surf fishing are also quite doable. Bait shop personnel got are a wealth of information and can get you from fishing to catching. I have included a site that has information on piers and other places to fish. The kids seem to love it as much as I do.
