Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing guru, comin' at ya with the early mornin' report for April 6th, 2026. Dawn's breakin' soon—sunrise at 7:12 AM, sunset 'round 7:45 PM, givin' us a solid 12.5 hours of light. Weather's lookin' prime: partly cloudy, highs in the low 80s, light southeast breeze at 5-10 knots, water temps hoverin' 72-75°F—perfect for gettin' lines wet.
Tides today? Low at 4:14 AM (1.8 ft), high 10:19 AM (6.1 ft), then droppin' to -0.6 ft low at 4:46 PM, and night high 11:37 PM (5.4 ft). Fish activity's high per solunar charts—major bites 'round 10 AM and 4 PM, so time those outgoing tides right.
Recent catches 'round here been hot: reds and trout stackin' up in the flats, sight-fishin' strong like over in Palm Coast. Offshore, kings to 25 lbs, cobia pushin' 42 lbs, even a blackfin tuna midweek. Inshore, slot reds, flounder, and sheepshead hammerin'—limits easy last few days.
Best baits? Live shrimp or fiddler crabs on a popping cork for reds and trout. Cut mullet for flounder. Lures? **Gold spoons** or **jigs with soft plastics** for numbers, mirror-image **topwater plugs** like Rat-L-Traps at dawn/dusk for big slams. Match the hatch with paddle tails in chartreuse or white.
Hit these hot spots: **Matanzas Inlet** for trout and reds on the drop-off—outgoin' tide gold. **Vilano Beach surf** for pompano and whities, or **Guana River** backcountry for sneaky reds.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
