St. Augustine Fishing Report: Snook, Reds, Trout Biting Amid Ideal Conditions
Published 4 months ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing guru, comin' at ya with the hot report for today, Sunday the 28th. Water's movin' nice—Tide-Forecast.com shows high tide at 1:59 AM hittin' 4.32 feet at the City Dock, droppin' to a skinny 0.46 feet low at 8:34 AM, then climbin' back up. Over at the Beach, it's similar, high around 1:44 AM at 4.55 feet, low 0.51 feet at 8:02 AM. Sunrise fired up at 7:19 AM, sunset's 5:33 PM, givin' ya solid daylight to chase 'em.
Weather's cooperatin'—light westerlies, clean surf thigh-to-waist high per 911 Surf Report, water temps holdin' comfy in the low 60s. Fish are active post-front; locals report snook tearin' up mangroves and muddy bottoms, reds and trout stackin' in the flats, some flounder and sheepshead off structure. CyberAngler says anglers are pullin' limits on snook lately, with trout and reds mixin' in good numbers—20-30 fish days common. Offshore, charters like Back At It are haulin' snapper, grouper, and amberjack.
Best lures? Finesse rules—drop-shot worms like Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Hit Worm or jighead minnows for trout and reds, per Major League Fishing tips that play here too. Stick with paddle tails or soft plastics in natural colors. Live bait? Finger mullet or shrimp tops the list; those St. Augustine-made longer-lastin' bait strips are killer for stays-on action.
Hit **Vilano Beach Bridge** for snook and reds on the outgoing, or **Matanzas Inlet** jetties for sheepshead and flounder—tides4fishing confirms prime solunar bites there now.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
