# St. Augustine Fishing Report
Morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your St. Augustine fishing update. We've got excellent conditions rolling in as spring bait moves through our waters.
**Tides and Timing**
High tide hit us at 8:55 AM this morning at 5.31 feet, with a low tide coming at 2:44 AM at 0.75 feet. Sunrise was at 6:26 AM and we're looking at sunset around 6:47 PM, giving us a solid fishing window. According to solunar forecasting data for our area, we're in a high activity period with major feeding times between 3:06 and 5:06 AM, plus another major push from 3:36 to 5:36 PM.
**What's Biting**
March wrapped up strong with plenty of pompano, trout, bluefish, and black drum, and April's keeping that momentum going. As bait moves into the lagoon for the spring run, we're seeing excellent opportunities for big trout, snook, and redfish. The inshore bite is heating up, and flounder are starting to show in good numbers from the first trough south toward Sebastian Inlet.
**Gear and Bait**
Live bait is your ticket to hooking the bigger fish. Greenies, finger mullet, and pigfish are your primary spring offerings. If you're throwing artificials, Rapala's Skitter Walk and Twitchin' Mullet work great early, then switch to live bait as the sun climbs. The Crush City 3.5-inch jerkbaits and Mooch Minnow baits produce in the early morning hours.
**Hot Spots**
Target the Sebastian River and Turkey Creek in Palm Bay for snook, tarpon, and sharks. The lower river between the railroad and U.S. 1 bridges is solid for sharks on both live and dead baits. Sebastian Inlet itself draws big jack crevalle and redfish—live pigfish or pinfish work best most days.
