St. Augustine's Fishing Promise: Redfish, Trout, and Bull Reds Await on the Water
Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
As of September 29, 2024, the fishing scene in St. Augustine is looking promising despite the recent rains. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Conditions
- **Tidal Report**: Expect a high tide around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. The changing tides will bring in fresh water and bait, making it an ideal time for fishing.
- **Weather**: The forecast shows partly cloudy skies with a gentle breeze, perfect for a day out on the water.
- **Sunrise and Sunset**: Sunrise is at 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at 7:15 PM, giving you ample daylight to catch those fish.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw robust catches of redfish, particularly at the jetties and creeks. Sheepshead are still present, although their numbers have dropped slightly, but the ones you catch will be quality fish. Bull redfish have been on a feeding frenzy, especially around the jetties and in the Amelia river system.
### Types of Fish
- **Redfish**: Abundant at jetties and creeks.
- **Sheepshead**: Still present, though fewer in number.
- **Bull Redfish**: Active at jetties and in the Amelia river system.
- **Speckled Trout**: Hitting well, especially with finger mullet or live shrimp on a cork setup.
- **Flounder**: Nice catches have been reported on recent trips.
### Best Lures and Bait
- For redfish and bull redfish, using larger mullet cut into chunks has been highly effective. A setup with a 7-foot rod, a 6500 Penn reel, 65 lb Fins braid, and a 4-foot 60 lb leader with a 7/0 Kahle hook works well.
- For speckled trout, finger mullet or live shrimp on a cork setup have been successful.
- Live bait such as shrimp and mullet are always good choices for a variety of species.
### Hot Spots
- **Jetties**: The jetties have been hotspots for redfish and bull redfish.
- **Creeks and Backcountry**: The creeks and backcountry areas are great for targeting redfish, trout, and flounder.
- **Amelia River System**: This area has seen good action for bull redfish and other species.
With these conditions and tips, you're set for a productive and enjoyable fishing trip in St. Augustine. Good luck out there
