St. Augustine Spring Fishing: Red Hot Reds and Trout on the Rise This March
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to local fishin' expert right here in St. Augustine. Comin' at ya live on this fine March 6th mornin' at 8:32, with the sun risin' around 6:54 AM and settin' at 6:22 PM per Tide-Forecast.com. Weather's lookin' mild with risin' temps from that fadin' El Niño—expect partly cloudy skies, light winds, and water warmin' up nice, makin' fish active like in those Tampa Bay reports from Coastal Angler Mag.
Tides today at the City Dock are prime: low at 5:37 AM hittin' near zero, high at 11:34 AM around 4.22 feet, perfect for flood tide bites. Out at the Beach, similar action with lows near slack and highs pushin' 4.6 feet mid-mornin' accordin' to Tideschart.com.
Fish are wakin' up! Recent catches around here mirror spring patterns—folks pullin' in redfish by the dozen on the flats, slot-sized trout stackin' up in the creeks, and black drum thumpin' near structure. Sheepshead still hangin' on pilings, with a few early pompano showin' on the beach. Limits reported last week near the inlet, thanks to baitfish schools movin' in.
Best lures? Go with **Gulp! Swimming Mullet** in shrimp or chartreuse for reds and trout—work 'em slow on the retrieve. **Jigheads with paddle tails** under a popping cork for aggressive strikes. Live bait kings: fresh shrimp on a circle hook for sheepshead and drum, or mullet chunks for bigger reds. Finger mullet if you can net 'em.
Hit these hot spots: Vilano Beach piers for easy access trout and blues at first light, or the Matanzas Inlet jetties on the outgoin' tide for reds tearin' it up. Kayak the backwaters off US1 for sheltered action.
Stay safe, check regs, and wet a line!
