  • "Tides and Targets: A Promising Fishing Day in St. Augustine"

    "Tides and Targets: A Promising Fishing Day in St. Augustine"
    Oct 5 2024
    As of October 5, 2024, the fishing scene in St. Augustine is looking promising, especially with the current weather and tidal conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the sun rises at 7:09 AM and sets at 7:31 PM. The tidal coefficient is moderate, with high tide expected around 6:11 PM at 5.2 feet and low tide at 11:43 AM at 0.5 feet. The water level is currently falling, and the tidal coefficient is around 61, indicating average tidal amplitude.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw good activity from several species. Redfish, sheepshead, and even some kingfish were active, particularly around the inlets and nearshore areas. Schools of pogies and mullet just outside the inlets attracted kingfish, making them a prime target for offshore fishing trips.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Redfish were plentiful in the shallow waters of the Intracoastal Waterway and its many creeks, flats, and backcountry estuaries. Sheepshead were also caught in good numbers, especially around structure like docks and jetties. Kingfish were active just outside the inlets, attacking schools of baitfish.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For redfish, using light tackle with soft plastics or fly fishing gear has been highly effective. Sheepshead are best targeted with live or frozen fiddler crabs. For kingfish, trolling silver chrome-colored spoons behind deep-running crankbaits around 8 to 12 feet down has proven successful.

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider are the areas around the St. Augustine Inlet and the backcountry estuaries of the Intracoastal Waterway. The inlet is a prime location for catching kingfish and other large predators following schools of baitfish. The backcountry estuaries, with their shallow waters and abundant structure, are ideal for redfish and sheepshead.

    Overall, with the right tackle and knowledge of the tides, you should have a productive day fishing in St. Augustine. Good luck and tight lines

  • St. Augustine Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions for Redfish, Sheepshead, and More

    St. Augustine Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions for Redfish, Sheepshead, and More
    Oct 4 2024
    As of October 4, 2024, the fishing scene in St. Augustine is looking promising, especially with the current weather and tidal conditions.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, we're expecting partly cloudy skies with a high of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle breeze out of the northeast. The tides are in our favor, with a high tide at 8:55 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM, which should make for some excellent fishing opportunities in the creeks and flats.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise was at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 7:04 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get out on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity from redfish, particularly around the jetties and in the creeks. Anglers reported catching several quality redfish, along with some sheepshead, although the numbers of sheepshead have been dropping off lately. Spotted seatrout and flounder were also caught in decent numbers.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Redfish were the stars of the show, with many anglers reporting catches of 2-5 fish per trip. Sheepshead, though fewer in number, were all quality catches. Spotted seatrout and flounder were caught in smaller numbers but still provided a fun day on the water.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For redfish, live bait such as shrimp and mud crabs worked exceptionally well. Artificial lures like gold spoons and soft plastic jigs also produced some nice catches. For sheepshead, fiddler crabs were the go-to bait. Spotted seatrout and flounder responded well to live bait like shrimp and small jigs.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the Salt Run area on Anastasia Island. This protected inlet is ideal for fly fishing and sight fishing for redfish. Another great spot is the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Estuarine Research Reserve, where you can fish the tidal waters on the south side of the dam for a variety of saltwater species.

    If you're looking for a more accessible spot, the St. Johns County Ocean Pier on St. Augustine Beach is always a good bet. The pier's fishing license covers you, so you don't need to worry about getting one, and the bait and tackle shop there can provide everything you need.

    With the right conditions and the right gear, today should be an excellent day to get out and enjoy the fishing in St. Augustine.

    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle breeze out of the northeast. The tidal cycle is favorable, with a high tide at 8:47 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM, which should bring some active fish to the surface.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 7:03 PM, giving you ample time to catch both the morning and evening bites.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a good number of redfish, flounder, and spotted seatrout being caught. The redfish have been particularly active at the jetties and in the creeks, while flounder and seatrout are being found in the shallower waters and around submerged structures.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Redfish are biting well, with several anglers reporting catches of 2-5 fish per trip, ranging from 18 to 25 inches. Flounder are also plentiful, with some larger ones being caught near the jetties. Spotted seatrout are active in the early morning and late afternoon, with catches averaging 2-4 fish per trip.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For redfish, live bait such as shrimp or mud crabs is highly effective. Artificial lures like soft-plastic jigs in natural colors and spoons are also working well. For flounder, a jig tipped with a live minnow or a soft-plastic curly tail is a good choice. Spotted seatrout are responding to live bait like pinfish and shrimp, as well as artificial lures like MirrOlure MR17s.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the Frank Butler West Boat Ramp area, where you can launch and head to the nearby jetties or creeks. Another good spot is the Vilano Boat Ramp, which gives you easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the surrounding flats.

    Overall, with the right bait and a bit of patience, you should have a productive day on the water in St. Augustine.
