A high bounce rate indicates that folks land on your site and immediately determine that your site doesn't contain what it is they are looking for. Your average time on site is awesome, it means that the people who endeavor to search your site for what they are looking for are fully engaged. A high bounce rate indicates a design problem first and foremost given your average time on site. I'd love to take a peak and offer some precise feedback should you deem it necessary.
