St. Augustine New Year's Eve Fishing Report: Tides, Forecasts, and Prime Catches
Published 4 months ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing guru, comin' at ya live on this crisp New Year's Eve mornin'. Tides today per Tide-Forecast.com are prime: high at 4:49 AM hittin' 5.54 feet, low at 11:11 AM near zero, afternoon high 5:14 PM at 4.16 feet, and evenin' low 11:07 PM droppin' to -0.61 feet. Sunrise 7:20 AM, sunset 5:36 PM—perfect for those short winter days.
Weather's holdin' steady from Action News Jax forecasts: cool temps in the 50s-60s, light winds, mostly sunny—ideal for hittin' the water without freezin' your toes off. Fish are active 'round the full moon push, with solunar bites peakin' early mornin' and evenin' accordin' to Fishing Reminder.
Recent catches? Locals report solid reds, trout, and flounder in the inlets—dozens of slot reds up to 25 inches, speckled trout to 18, and black drum pilin' up near the beaches. Surf's seen whities and blues crashin' the party too. Best lures right now: soft jerkbaits like Strike King Caffeine Shad or Glass Minnow for reds and trout—work 'em slow on the fall. Spinnerbaits or chatterbaits in chartreuse for aggressive bites. Live bait? Shrimp or mullet chunks on a fish finder rig can't be beat for bottom feeders.
Hot spots: Vilano Beach ramp for easy access to the inlet—tides rippin' there mean reds stack up. And St. Augustine Pier—cast from shore for trout and blues, especially at first light.
Get out there before the ball drops, stay safe, and tight lines!
