St Augustine Fishing Report Today

This is Artificial Lure with your St. Augustine fishing report. We’re working a classic summer pattern this morning. Around St. Augustine Inlet you’ve got a pre‑dawn high tide rolling off into a mid‑morning fall, with the low tide late morning and another push coming in mid‑afternoon. That falling water is the money window: it pulls bait off the flats and pins it to creek mouths, oyster bars, and the edges of the ICW. Weather along the coast is warm and muggy, light southwest wind early shifting onshore by midday, with the sea breeze stacking up a little chop on the beach. Skies are partly cloudy. Sunrise is right around 6:25 a.m., sunset just after 8:25 p.m., giving you a long day but the best bite has been early and late. Water inshore is a bit stained from recent storms, with a light coffee tint in the creeks and greener water near the inlet and the beaches. That color has the predators comfortable up shallow. Finger mullet and glass minnows are thick around docks and marsh edges, with small pogies just off the beach when the wind lets you run. Inshore action has been solid. Local anglers around the Vilano and 312 bridges have been boxing good numbers of slot **redfish** and **speckled trout**, with a few upper‑slot fish caught at first light working current seams. There have also been scattered **flounder** off the rock piles and deep bends in the ICW. A few big **black drum** and **mangrove snapper** have come from bridge pilings on live shrimp and fiddler crabs. On the beaches and nearshore, the summer **tarpon** are starting to show around the pogy pods, with a mix of **king mackerel**, **jacks**, and a few **cobia** reported off the reefs and wrecks when the water cleans up. Surf casters working Matanzas Inlet and south toward Crescent Beach have picked up **whiting**, **pompano**, and the odd **bluefish** on shrimp and sand fleas. For lures, think bright and noisy. In the low light, a small topwater like a Skitter Walk or Spook Jr. in bone or mullet pattern worked along grass lines will draw trout and redfish. As the sun comes up, switch to 3–4 inch paddle tails in new penny, dark green, or purple on 1/8–1/4 oz jig heads. Gold spoons slow‑rolled along oyster points are still one of the best producers for redfish here. If you’re soaking bait, the top choices are live shrimp, mud minnows, and small finger mullet. Shrimp under a popping cork around creek mouths and points has been deadly on trout and slot reds. For flounder, drag a live mud minnow on a jig or Carolina rig right along the bottom. Nearshore, slow‑trolled pogies or cigar minnows over the wrecks will give you a shot at kings and cobia, and a live pogy pitched to rolling tarpon off the beach is your best big‑fish ticket. A couple of hot spots to circle on your map: - The ICW bends and creek mouths between the 312 bridge and the 206 bridge: working the falling tide around oyster points has been putting steady redfish and trout in the boat. - St. Augustine Inlet jetties: fish the inside edges and the tips on the last of the incoming and first of the outgoing for flounder, reds, and occasional sheepshead; bring heavier tackle for the rocks and current. Work the tides, fish early and late, and match your bait to the local mullet and shrimp and you’ll stay bent all day. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

This is Artificial Lure with your St. Augustine fishing report. We’re waking up to a classic First Coast morning: light southwest breeze early, building onshore sea breeze this afternoon. Air temps running mid‑70s at daybreak, pushing upper 80s by mid‑day with scattered clouds and the usual chance of a brief coastal shower. Sunrise is right around 6:20 a.m., sunset near 8:30 p.m., giving you a long window to chase a tide. According to the NOAA tide tables for St. Augustine Inlet, we’ve got an early morning high followed by a strong outgoing, then a mid‑afternoon low and a decent evening push of water back in. That falling water this morning and the first couple hours of the flood late day are your money tides. Work those edges where bait is forced off the flats and into the drains. Inshore, the Matanzas River, the ICW north toward Vilano, and the back creeks off Salt Run have been giving up solid slot redfish, scattered upper‑slot specks, and a few keeper flounder. Local shop reports from places like Oldest City Bait & Tackle say shrimp and mud minnows on jig heads or Carolina rigs are putting most of the meat in the cooler. Live mullet schools are thick along the banks, and anywhere you see nervous bait getting pushed, you’ll find reds and trout shadowing them. Artificials are playing well early and late. Walk‑the‑dog topwaters in bone or mullet patterns are drawing blowups from trout and reds on the higher water at first light. Once the sun gets up, switch to 3–4 inch paddle‑tail plastics in new penny, root beer, or opening night on 1/8–1/4 oz jig heads. For flounder, bounce a Gulp! swimming mullet or shrimp tight to docks, rock edges, and the mouths of small feeder creeks on the last of the outgoing. Off the beach and nearshore, local captains out of St. Augustine Marina and Camachee report good numbers of king mackerel on the wrecks and live bottom within 10–15 miles, with a few sailfish and cobia mixed in. Slow‑trolled live pogies and threadfins are the go‑to; if you’re running artificials, big diving plugs in blue/white or natural bunker patterns are getting bit. Bottom fishermen are still putting nice triggers, sea bass, and the occasional legal grouper on ice using cut squid, cigar minnows, and sardines on standard two‑hook rigs. Surf fishing along St. Augustine Beach and Vilano has been a mixed bag. There are still some pompano around but more whiting, jacks, and the odd slot red. Fresh peeled shrimp, sand fleas when you can find them, and Fishbites in shrimp or clam flavor have been the best producers on double‑drop rigs with 2–3 oz pyramid sinkers. Two hotspots to circle today: - The docks and oyster bars just north of the 312 bridge on the ICW during the last half of the outgoing and first of the incoming for reds, trout, and flounder. - The area just outside St. Augustine Inlet along the pogy pods for kings and cobia; look for diving birds and surface busts and get a live bait or big spoon in there quick. Overall fish activity has been good around the moving water windows. Mid‑day slack with bright sun is slow, so either go deep, fish shade around structure, or take a break and hit it again on the evening tide.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your St. Augustine fishing report. We’ve got a classic First Coast setup this morning. Around St. Augustine Inlet and the Intracoastal, the tide is running a typical early-summer cycle: an early-morning low pushing into a strong midmorning incoming, then a decent afternoon high before easing out this evening. That incoming water is your money window around the inlet jetties, Vilano Bridge, and the creek mouths north and south of town. Weather-wise, expect warm, muggy air, light to moderate onshore breeze, and the usual chance of a pop-up storm in the afternoon. Skies are partly cloudy, with enough sun to get the bait flashing in the water. Sunrise comes early over the ocean and sunset is late enough to give you a prime evening bite on the flats and docks. Inshore, fish activity has been good. Local dock talk and bait shop chatter around town say redfish and speckled trout are chewing early and late, with decent numbers of flounder showing along the ICW drop-offs and creek mouths. The reds have been cruising flooded grass edges on the higher stages of the tide, and slot-sized fish are still coming from oyster bars and deeper bends in creeks like Moses Creek, Pellicer, and the cuts behind Vilano. Trout reports are steady along deeper ICW edges and around lighted docks at night. Best lures right now: - For trout and slot reds at daybreak, walk-the-dog topwaters in bone or mullet patterns. - As the sun climbs, switch to 3–4 inch paddle tails and jerk shads in new penny, silver mullet, or natural green on 1/8 to 1/4 ounce jig heads. - For flounder, go with a low-and-slow presentation: small paddle tails or Gulp-style shrimp hugged tight to the bottom. Best natural bait: - Live shrimp under a popping cork along ICW edges and creek mouths. - Finger mullet and mud minnows on a fish-finder rig or jig head near structure for reds and flounder. - Cut mullet or ladyfish around dock pilings and oyster bars will draw the bigger reds. Off the beach and nearshore when seas let you get out, folks have been picking at king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and the occasional cobia along bait pods and near the local wrecks and reefs. Slow-trolled live pogies and sardines are doing work, with spoons and small dusters picking up Spanish and smaller kings. Expect that nearshore bite to turn on when the bait stacks up tight to the beach with clean green water. A couple of local hot spots to keep in mind: - St. Augustine Inlet jetties: great for reds, trout, sheepshead, and the odd snook or tarpon later in the season when the tide is moving hard. - The ICW stretch from the 312 Bridge south toward the 206 Bridge: plenty of creek mouths, docks, and oyster bars holding redfish, trout, and flounder on those moving tides. Remember, adjust to the tide and water clarity: lighter leaders and more natural colors in clear water, bump up your leader and go darker or more flashy when it’s dirty.

Good morning, anglers—Artificial Lure here with your St. Augustine fishing report for Saturday, June 21, 2025. We’re rolling into another classic Florida summer day here in the Nation's Oldest City. Sunrise kicked things off at 6:24 AM, and you’ll have sunlight to chase the bite until sunset at 8:29 PM. Today’s tide rundown is looking prime: high tide rolled through at 5:03 AM, with a low tide following at 11:27 AM. Next high is expected at 5:01 PM, making your late afternoon window one to watch for an uptick in feeding fish, especially around the jetties and deeper cuts, according to Tide-Forecast.com. On the inshore scene, reports from Captain Experiences say the speckled trout bite has really turned on, especially with live shrimp under a float rig. Folks are also sticking plenty of sheepshead off the rocks and pilings, and those bonus bull reds are popping up around the jetties. If you’re hunting reds and trout, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp, finger mullet, or soft plastic paddle tails in natural hues. Early morning topwater action is still solid—consider a Spook Jr. or MirrOlure near grass lines at first light, with an outgoing tide pulling bait off the flats. For the surf anglers, Space Coast Surf Fishing Forecast highlights that snook and tarpon are hot targets this month. Free-lined live mullet or pigfish, fished on a 30- to 60-pound fluorocarbon leader and a 3/0 to 6/0 circle hook, will do damage. Keep an eye out for bait pods in the troughs, and don’t forget to bring a few topwater plugs for that sunrise tarpon strike. Offshore, Drop Down Sport Fish Charters checks in with good catches of mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, and the occasional wahoo. Ballyhoo and sardines remain the go-to baits, especially trolling in 80-120 ft depths. The mahi run is still holding, so if bluewater is calling, now’s your shot. As for today’s hot spots: - The Vilano Beach Pier and north jetty are producing solid trout and reds on early outgoing tides. - The Matanzas Inlet flats and main channel edges are reliable for flounder and sheepshead, especially if you fish the last two hours of incoming tide. - Offshore, hit the ledges in 90–120 ft for pelagic action—look for weed lines and temperature breaks. Weather’s shaping up to be warm and breezy, with some cloud cover mid-afternoon—perfect for keeping those fish active a bit longer into the day. That wraps it up for your June 21 St. Augustine fishing report. Thanks for tuning in, tight lines out there, and don’t forget to subscribe for your daily updates.

Keep an eye out for bait pods in the troughs, and don’t forget to bring a few topwater plugs for that sunrise tarpon strike. Offshore, Drop Down Sport Fish Charters checks in with good catches of mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, and the occasional wahoo. Ballyhoo and sardines remain the go-to baits, especially trolling in 80-120 ft depths. The mahi run is still holding, so if bluewater is calling, now’s your shot. As for today’s hot spots: - The Vilano Beach Pier and north jetty are producing solid trout and reds on early outgoing tides. - The Matanzas Inlet flats and main channel edges are reliable for flounder and sheepshead, especially if you fish the last two hours of incoming tide. - Offshore, hit the ledges in 90–120 ft for pelagic action—look for weed lines and temperature breaks. Weather’s shaping up to be warm and breezy, with some cloud cover mid-afternoon—perfect for keeping those fish active a bit longer into the day. That wraps it up for your June 21 St. Augustine fishing report. Thanks for tuning in, tight lines out there, and don’t forget to subscribe for your daily updates.

Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your St. Augustine fishing update for this beautiful Wednesday morning, May 21, 2025. The fishing scene around St. Augustine has been red hot lately! Inshore waters are producing steady action, with redfish, speckled trout, and black drum giving folks plenty to smile about. The backwater bite has been particularly strong these past couple weeks, with many locals reporting excellent catches. Water temps are sitting around 77 degrees, which has those fish moving and feeding actively. Early morning high tides have been producing some spectacular topwater action - if you haven't tried throwing a 3 1/8 inch Skitterwalk plug yet, you're missing out on some heart-stopping strikes! For those targeting redfish, they've been holding in the slot size range, especially along oyster edges and grassy flats during early morning high tides. Soft plastics and live shrimp under popping corks have been the ticket. The creeks have been particularly productive. Flounder are showing up nicely around sandy points and dock pilings. Try mud minnows or a jig-and-minnow combo if you're looking to put some flatties in the cooler. Black drum continue to hang around bridges and deeper structure. Fresh crab and shrimp have been producing consistent bites. Don't forget about the sheepshead around dock pilings and jetties - fiddler crabs are your best bet for these bait-stealers. For those heading offshore, reports show activity in the 80-120 foot range with ballyhoos and sardines working well as bait. Hot spots to check out: Vilano Point has been firing lately with plenty of action on the flats and around pilings. The jetties have been hit or miss, but worth a try. The Intracoastal Waterway and its many creeks are also solid bets right now. Best time to fish has been early morning or late afternoon, as the bite tends to slow during mid-day. With water clarity improving as winds settle down, sight casting is becoming a viable option during lower tides. Whether you're fishing solo or jumping on a charter, now's a great time to be wetting a line in our local waters. Just remember to bring plenty of sun protection and hydration - it's heating up out there! Tight lines, friends! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. See y'all on the water!
