Mornin' low tide hit at 5:16 AM at -0.33 feet, high tide peaks 'round 11:28 AM at 4.74 feet—Tide-Forecast.com says it's risin' steady, perfect for pushin' baitfish into the shallows.

Weather's lookin' mild per National Weather Service—cool temps in the 50s, light winds from the north, no big fronts messin' things up.
Fish are active in this winter bite! Recent reports from Jimmy's Fishing Report show speckled perch stackin' up deep in the St. Johns River, with limits comin' easy on jigs. Locals been pullin' reds, trout, and flounder from the inlets—dozens reported last week 'round Vilano and Matanzas. Sheepshead are hammerin' pilings, and black drum hittin' the flats.
For lures, go with **DOA Shrimp** or **Gulp! Alive** in natural colors for trout and reds—they're killin' it on the troll. **Jigheads with Fiddler crabs** or live shrimp top the bait list for sheepshead and flounder. Fish the outgoing tide for best action.
Hot spots today: Vilano Beach pier—trout and blues on the rip—and the north Matanzas Inlet flats for reds wadin' shallow.
