Captain J.P. Gaither

(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.

Catch up with one of me old Chum buckets and get experienced fishing with Capt Dave Sipler

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. 

All of this wonderful garbage pulled from the creek by these guys.  Nice work people, Keep it up.

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.
