St. Augustine Fishing Report: High Tides and Hot Bites This March Morning
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here, your St. Augustine fishing guru, bringin' you the morning report for March 21st at 7:30 AM. Tides4fishing says we're in a very high coefficient of 98 today—big swings with low at 4:56 AM (-0.3 ft), high at 11:06 AM (4.4 ft), low 5:02 PM (-0.4 ft), and high 11:29 PM (5.1 ft). Fish are gonna be chasin' hard on the moves, especially incoming around noon. Sunrise hit at 7:27 AM, sunset 7:37 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours of light.
Weather's semi-choppy offshore per Surf Station, with 1.5-2.5 ft waves from the east at 10.5 seconds on the St. Augustine buoy—decent for surf fishin', winds moderate NNE keepin' it fishable. First quarter moon means predators are active daytime.
Recent catches? Locals report strong snapper early week, plus lanes, vermilion snapper, porgies, and triggers bitin' steady around inlets—Captain Experiences out of nearby Port Orange confirms. In our waters, reds, trout, and flounder are hot on the flats, with black drum and sheepshead pilin' up near structure. Amounts are up—dozens per trip if you're on 'em.
Best lures: Go with white paddle tails or mirrolures for reds and trout—twitch 'em slow on the drop. Gulp! shrimp in natural or new penny for specks. Live bait kings: finger mullet or shrimp under a poppin' cork for everything. Artificials shine today with the moon phase.
Hit these hot spots: Vilano Beach bridge for drum and sheepshead on the outgoing, or Matanzas Inlet north side—structure's loaded with trout on incoming. Beaches like Butler Beach at twilight for whities.
Stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
