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.

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.
