Saint Johns River near Atlantic Beach, Florida
Bass anglers can expect to find bass hiding in shoreline vegetation, eelgrass, and around docks and pilings. Locating fish should become easier as water levels fall and fish become somewhat more concentrated. Anglers should target edges of submerged vegetation along banks, sharp bends, and drop-offs near shallow bars.
