Fishing

Palatka’s reputation as the Bass Capital of the World is proven by the number of bass tournaments held from our riverfront every year. We are also known for our copperhead bream, catfish and speckled perch – crappie. The St. Johns River is host to fishermen from all over. Local fish camps and guides can put you on whatever tugs your line.
