<p>The St. Johns River is full of tannic water--black water caused by tannic acid that's released by decomposing leaves and vegetation. This tea-colored water is common in most lakes and rivers in this part of the country but it is something a few of these anglers have never encountered before. Bait selection, especially color selection, is crucial since the water doesn't appear muddy from above but certainly isn't clear from below. Most Floridians will tell you to stay on the darker end of the spectrum here.</p>
