January 26th Fishing Report: Redfish, Trout, Drum Biting in St. Augustine
Published 3 months ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing guru, comin' at ya live on this crisp January 26th mornin'. Sunrise hit at 7:17 AM, sunset's 5:57 PM per Tides4Fishing charts for Matanzas Inlet—perfect for a full day on the water.
Tides today? Low at 1:45 AM hittin' 3.6 ft, high risin' to 8:14 AM at 0.2 ft wait no, check that: actually peakin' around incoming from Matanzas data with highs near 8:14 AM low 0.2 ft wait, tides4fishing shows first high pushin' in post-low, then droppin' to 2:01 PM at 3.1 ft, evenin' low 8:23 PM at -0.2 ft. Coefficient's average at 53, so moderate flow—fish the incoming for best bites.
Weather's lookin' cooperative: light north winds 8-10 knots early per Surf Station reports, expectin' partly cloudy with temps in the low 60s—bundle up but no blowin' gale. Solunar activity's fair, major bites 'round mid-mornin' and dusk.
Fish are active post-front! Recent reports from local piers and inlets show redfish schools crashin' flats, slot-sized 18-27 inches, with trout mixin' in—dozens limits daily. Black drum haulin' bottom, some keeper flounder flounderin' near structure, and sheepshead nibblin' pilings. Surf's seen whiting and pompano in good numbers, blues tearin' it up on outgoing.
Top lures? **Gold spoons** or **jigheads with shrimp** for reds and trout—cast 'em shallow. **Bucktail jigs** tipped with Fiddler crabs for drum and sheeps. Live bait kings: shrimp under poppers or **mud minnows** on flats. Artificial? **Paddle tails in chartreuse** or **mirrOlure twitchbaits** for specks.
Hit these hot spots: Vilano Beach ramps for inlet reds on the flood, or Matanzas Inlet rocks for drum—sheeps combo. St. Augustine Pier's gold for surf whities if wind lays.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
