St. Augustine Trout and Reds Bite Despite Northeast Blow

St. Augustine Trout and Reds Bite Despite Northeast Blow

Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to local fishin' guide here in St. Augustine on this breezy April 15, 2026, at 3 AM. Winds are kickin' steady outta the northeast, keepin' things choppy on the inshore waters—temps hoverin' around 72 degrees with partly cloudy skies, highs in the low 80s later. Sunrise at 7:05 AM, sunset 7:50 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours 45 minutes of daylight. Tides? Low at 4:15 AM risin' to high around 10:30 AM, then fallin' off—fish the movin' water, especially that outgoing for best action.

Fishin' been solid despite the blow, per the Shore Thing Fishing Report from BSL Shoofly. Beautiful **speckled trout** showin' up nice-sized, not huge numbers but quality eats—folks pullin' reds too once you duck the wind in protected spots. Live shrimp's back in the bait shops, hot ticket right now; pair it with gold spoons or soft plastics under a poppin' cork for trout and reds. Artificials? **Topwaters** at dawn/dusk, then lipless cranks or jerkbaits when the sun climbs. Flounder giggin' good on fallin' tides with paddle tails.

Hit **Vilano Beach** for surf trout on incoming, or **Matanzas Inlet** marshes for reds huggin' the edges—wind-blown points are gold. Stay safe out there, measure 'em and let the big girls swim.
