Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
# St. Augustine Fishing Report - Wednesday Morning
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your St. Augustine fishing update. We're looking at a solid day on the water here in Northeast Florida.
**The Tides Are Working in Your Favor**
According to the latest tide data, we've got a low tide at 3:28 AM that already passed us—came in at minus 0.69 feet. Right now we're pushing toward our morning high tide at 9:39 AM with a solid 5.33 feet of water. That afternoon low hits around 3:56 PM at minus 0.74 feet, then another high at 10:05 PM. This is textbook tidal movement for sight fishing on the flats.
**Light and Conditions**
Sunrise hit us at 7:13 this morning, so if you're heading out now, you've got prime morning light. We'll have until about 5:26 PM before the sun drops, giving us a full day to work the water.
**What's Biting and Where**
The redfish and tarpon have been active in the backcountry creeks and flats around St. Augustine, particularly during the tidal pushes. Light tackle and fly fishing have been producing well on the shallow water. If you're targeting seatrout, they're responding to live baitfish in the deeper holes near the Intracoastal.
**Tackle and Bait**
For reds and permit, I'm recommending shallow-running plugs and soft plastics in natural colors—mullet and shrimp patterns work great. Live shrimp and small mullet are your go-to baits right now. Keep everything weedless since we're working skinny water.
**Hot Spots to Hit**
The creeks and flats north of the city toward Vilano Beach are absolutely firing. The Intracoastal between St. Augustine and Crescent Beach is holding solid numbers of seatrout and jacks.
Get out there and tight lines, everyone. Thanks for tuning in and please subscribe for your daily reports.
