(Captain's Log)

After 20 years in the US Navy, I took to the St Johns River to find a new career.  I became a River Keeper Patrol volunteer and continued working in the maritime trade as captain of a variety vessels and platforms. Now operating a push boat and building the Doctors Lake bridge, I spend my time on the St. Johns River where I belong.  Welcome to the Fishpile.

Inshore fishing the St. Johns River, and estuaries around Jacksonville and Amelia Island, Florida provides year round opportunities for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheepshead to name just a few.

Canoes and kayaks along Pottsberg Creek during St Johns River Celebration.  Volunteers came from all over to get the creek right.  

It was a great effort.  The River Keeper Crew and volunteers did all the work, I just provided the garbage barge.  Still working to get the boat back up to speed......whew!  Fun times though.  It was a great turnout with some hard core volunteers to get the job done.  This is only one event of many.  Get involved and join the St. Johns River Keeper Organization.  It's your River, now what are you going to do about it.

An outback crafted wooden sign is left for paddlers and anglers as a token to remind them to watch for boaters and keep the creek clean.

Baby manatee recovered by Capt JP Gaither and FWC Marine Biologist in Julington Creek.  This can be prevented.  You can't enjoy the creek at 60 mph, slow down and take it easy, you might just save a life.
