Spring Snook and Redfish Fired Up Post New Moon in St. Augustine
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing whisperer, comin' at ya live from the salty shores on April 22, 2026, 'round 3 AM. Dawn's breakin' soon at 7:02 AM, sunset's 7:52 PM—plenty of light for a full day chase. Weather's lookin' prime: cloudy early with SE winds 10-15 mph, partial clearin' later and just a slight shower chance. Tides? Low at 4:12 AM risin' to high 10:28 AM, then fallin' out—fish the incomin' for best action.
Fish are fired up post-new moon! Recent reports from local guides like Captain Experiences at Turtle Beach say inshore's on fire—spring **snook**, **redfish**, and **trout** hammerin' everything. Surf and back bays see slot-size stripers mixin' with residents, sea lice on the big migrators pushin' north. Limits daily on reds to 25 inches, snook hittin' 30+, trout stackin' up in grass flats.
Best baits: live shrimp or mullet under poppin' corks for reds and trout. Top lures? **Gold spoons** for specks, **soft plastics** like paddle tails in chartreuse on jigheads for snook, and **topwater plugs** at dawn for reds. Artificials shinin' with this warm spring water.
Hit these hot spots: **Matanzas Inlet** for trout and reds on the flood tide flats, or **Vilano Beach surf** where stripers and blues crash the party. Kayak or wade quiet—crowds low.
Stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFD.
