Snails
Hundreds of these snails on the riverbed in shallow water near our house - rough on bare feet. 
Bass
March 29, 2010 - about 7pm on St. Marks River. Was alone in my kayak so had a hard time photographing this bass before I released it.
Speck
Caught September 2004, St. Marks River - wish I had weighed it.
From FL Fish & Wildlife: Specks nest in colonies from February to April. Nests are fanned by males over gravel or muddy bottoms in depths of 3-8 feet, with big fish deeper. Primary food items are crustaceans, aquatic insects and small fishes.
Florida State Record is 3.83 lbs. Big Catch = 14 inches or 2.0 lbs.
Drift Missouri minnows or grass shrimp below a float, with a #4 hook and small split shot. Depth is key, as crappie school at the same level. When crappie move inshore to spawn, a bright 1/16-oz. to 1/8-oz. jig or Hal-flies will produce.
