St. Augustine Fishing Report: Prime Conditions for Reds, Trout, and More on January 5th
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing guru, comin' at ya live on this crisp January 5th mornin'. Low tide hit at 3:34 AM at -0.9 feet, high comin' up at 9:55 AM pushin' 5.26 feet—Tide-Forecast says it's prime for fish chasin' bait in the troughs. Sunrise was 7:18 AM, sunset 'round 5:57 PM, givin' ya a solid 10+ hours of light. Weather's lookin' light winds, warmin' temps accordin' to Eastman's Docks reports—no gale warnings today, unlike them rough days last week.
Fish are active post-front! Redfish season kicked off early—Eastman's crews slammed 'em yesterday with big bulls in the flats and slams aplenty. Locals report solid reds, slot-size drum, and speckled trout hittin' steady near inlets; a few black drum and sheepshead mixin' in on structure. Catches are up, with reds dominatin' the box.
Best lures? Go Strike King Burner spinnerbait in 3/8 oz for shallow flash—swims perfect under the surface. Jackhammer chatterbait in Spot Remover color for when they get finicky. Live bait kings it: shrimp on a jighead or free-lined for trout and reds; fiddler crabs for sheepshead. Mullet chunks if you're punchin' deeper.
Hot spots: Vilano ramps at high tide for reds tearin' up the grass, and Matanzas Inlet on the outgoing for trout ambushin' shrimp. Fish the edges!
