For those heading out to fish in St. Augustine today, January 9, 2025, here’s what you need to know:

First off, let's look at the tides. Today, the high tides are at 4:02 AM and 4:23 PM, with low tides at 10:33 AM and 10:39 PM. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish activity, so plan your trips accordingly[2][5].

The weather is expected to be a bit windy, which can make conditions a bit challenging but also stir up the fish. Make sure to dress warmly and securely anchor your boat if you're out on the water.

Sunrise is at 7:21 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there and catch some fish.

Yesterday saw a good amount of activity, particularly with redfish and seatrout in the backwaters and flats along the Matanzas River. These fish have been biting well on lures such as soft plastics and jigs, as well as live bait like shrimp and mullet[1][4].

For those fishing in the surf, pompano and whiting have been the main catches. Using fresh sand fleas or clams has been highly effective for these species. The surf has been busy, but the rewards are worth it, with some nice-sized whiting and feisty pompano being pulled in[4].

If you're looking for hot spots, the backwaters around Genung's Fish Camp have been producing some great results for redfish and trout. The inlet areas and the surf along St. Augustine Beach are also prime spots for catching pompano and whiting.

In summary, today's fishing in St. Augustine looks promising, especially if you time your trips with the tides and use the right lures and bait. Stay safe, and tight lines
