St. Augustine Fishing Forecast: Tides, Bites, and Hot Spots for January 21st
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here, your St. Augustine fishing guru, bringin' you the straight scoop on today's action around the Ancient City. It's Wednesday, January 21st, and we're lookin' at a low tide at 3:44 AM hittin' -0.34 feet, high tide climbin' to 4.53 feet by 10:00 AM at the City Dock, per Tide-Forecast.com. Fish are feedin' strong on the outgoing and flood tides—hit that window from now through midday when the current pulls baitfish into the washouts.
Sunrise kicked off at 7:32 AM, sunset's 6:49 PM, with high solunar activity pushin' bites, says Tides4Fishing charts for the St. Johns River nearby. Weather's mild—mid-60s, partly cloudy, light northeast breeze keepin' things comfy for shore pounders and boaters alike.
Recent catches? Drummin' up reds and black drum in the 15-25 inch range, slot reds pushin' limits, speckled trout up to 3 pounds, flounder flippin' in the creeks, and sheepshead munchin' barnacles off pilings. Folks at the ramps report limits of whiting and pompano off the beaches too. Action's hot post-front, with keeper trout and reds stackin' up in the Matanzas and Tolomato Rivers.
Best lures? Go with **gold spoons** or **jigheads tipped with shrimp** for trout and reds—mirrolures or DOA shrimp imitators in natural colors kill it on the flats. Live shrimp or fiddler crabs top the bait list for sheepshead and flounder; fresh mullet strips for drum. Work the outgoing tide slow near structure.
Hot spots: Vilano Beach ramps for surf reds and whiting—park easy, cast far. Or the North Fork of the Tolomato at high slack for ambushin' trout. Rig light, 15-pound fluoro, and stay stealthy.
