June 20th, 2025: Trout, Reds, and Pelagics - A Hot St. Augustine Fishing Report
St. Augustine anglers, you’re tuned in with Artificial Lure, your local source for what’s hot on the water. Let’s dive into today’s bite for June 20th, 2025.
We’re starting off with a classic Florida summer morning: sunrise hit at 6:24 AM and sunset closes us out at 8:29 PM. The weather is holding steady—humid, but with just enough southeast breeze to keep things comfortable at the jetties and backcountry. Water temps are sitting in the high 70s offshore and low 80s inshore, setting the table for active fish all day.
Tides are especially friendly for anglers today. We had an early high tide at 3:59 AM, low tide swinging through at 10:31 AM, back up with a high at 4:43 PM, and another low at 11:17 PM. These incoming and outgoing tides should keep the bite moving, especially around creek mouths and oyster bars, and through the Matanzas and Tolomato rivers. According to Tide-Forecast.com, these solid swings will help set up ambush points for hunting reds and trout.
Inshore, the speckled trout action is the main story—local guides and anglers alike are reporting excellent catches on live shrimp under popping corks, especially early and late in the day. Bonus bull reds are showing up around the jetties and near inlets for those running float rigs. Sheepshead are still chewing around structure, but you’ve got to work for them—fiddler crabs or small chunks of shrimp are your best bet. Over on the flats near Ponte Vedra, there’s steady sight-casting for redfish with soft plastics or gold spoons.
Offshore, the Gulf Stream is alive. Drop Down Sport Fish Charters reports mahi-mahi are still running strong in the 80-120 foot depths, with blackfin tuna and wahoo also making appearances. Ballyhoo and sardines are doing the heavy lifting—troll those baits deep for your best shot at fast pelagic action. Snapper and amberjack are holding on the usual bottom numbers, and cobia are popping up around nearshore wrecks.
A couple of hotspots to circle for today—try the Vilano Bridge flats just after the morning high tide, and the North Jetties in the afternoon for that bull redfish run. Offshore, set your sights on the ledges past 100’ for your best pelagic mix.
Best baits right now: live shrimp, finger mullet, and for offshore, ballyhoo or fresh sardines. Inshore lures—go with a MirrOlure, Z-Man soft plastics, or a classic gold spoon if the water’s stained.
That wraps it for today’s St. Augustine fishing report. Thanks for tuning in—remember to subscribe for daily updates and tackle tips. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
