Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
For those heading out to fish in St. Augustine today, January 3rd, 2025, here’s what you need to know:
First off, let's look at the tides. Today, the first low tide is at 4:24 AM with a height of -0.09 meters, followed by a high tide at 10:47 AM with a height of 1.52 meters. The second low tide is at 5:06 PM, and the final high tide of the day will be at 11:05 PM[2][4].
The weather is looking favorable, with sunrise at 7:21 AM and sunset at 5:38 PM. Moonrise is at 10:16 AM and moonset at 9:39 PM.
Yesterday saw a great catch of redfish, trout, and some sheepshead, indicating that the post-holiday period has indeed brought a bounty of fish to our waters. Redfish and trout have been particularly active, making them prime targets for today’s fishing trip[1].
For lures, soft plastics and jigs are working well for redfish and trout. If you're looking to use live bait, shrimp and mud crabs are excellent choices. Sheepshead are also biting well on fiddler crabs and clams.
Some hot spots to consider include the Intracoastal Waterway, especially around the creeks and backcountry estuaries. The flats near the St. Augustine Inlet are also producing good results. Captain Tommy Derringer, a local guide, recommends these areas for super shallow water angling and light-tackle fishing[3].
Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day on the water in St. Augustine. Make sure to check your gear and hit the spots where the fish are most active. Good luck out there
