Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
For January 23, 2025, in St. Augustine, Florida, the fishing conditions are looking promising despite some variable weather.
### Tidal Report
Today's tidal times are as follows: the first high tide is at 3:03 AM with a height of 1.17 meters (3.85 feet), the first low tide at 9:47 AM with a height of 0.27 meters (0.9 feet), the second high tide at 3:17 PM with a height of 1.02 meters (3.34 feet), and the second low tide at 9:38 PM with a height of 0.14 meters (0.47 feet)[2].
### Weather
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with some windy conditions, similar to what we've seen over the past few days. This can make the waters a bit choppy, but it also stirs up the baitfish, which can attract larger predators.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:19 AM and sunset at 5:55 PM, giving you ample daylight to get out on the water.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a good amount of activity for redfish, trout, pompano, and whiting. Redfish were particularly active in the shallow waters of the Intracoastal Waterway and its many creeks and backcountry estuaries. Trout were caught in the deeper areas around the jetties and near the city dock[1][4].
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Redfish were the stars of the show, with several catches reported in the 20-30 inch range. Trout were also plentiful, with many anglers reporting catches in the 15-25 inch range. Pompano and whiting were caught in smaller numbers but were still present, especially in the sandy bottom areas near the beaches.
### Best Lures and Bait
For redfish, using shallow water lures like spoons and soft plastics worked well. Live bait such as shrimp and mud crabs were also very effective. For trout, jigs and topwater plugs were successful. Pompano and whiting were caught using sand fleas and small jigs.
### Hot Spots
One of the best spots to try today is the area around the St. Augustine City Dock, where the combination of tidal flow and structure tends to attract a variety of species. Another hot spot is the shallow waters of the Salt Run, which is known for its redfish and trout activity[1][4].
Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day for fishing in St. Augustine. Just be prepared for the wind and make sure to adjust your tactics accordingly. Good luck out there
