"St. Augustine Fishing Forecast: Redfish, Trout, and a Bounty of Winter Catches"
For those heading out to fish in St. Augustine today, December 28, 2024, here’s what you need to know:
First off, let's talk about the daylight. Sunrise is at 7:19 AM, and sunset will be at 5:34 PM, giving you about 10 hours and 13 minutes of daylight[2][5].
Now, onto the tides. Today, the first low tide is at 5:20 AM, followed by a high tide at 11:35 AM, and then another low tide at 6:07 PM. The tidal coefficient is average, around 52 at noon, which indicates moderate tidal activity[3].
Weather-wise, it's looking promising with mild winter conditions, though be prepared for some breeze.
Fishing conditions are quite favorable. Yesterday saw a good catch of redfish, trout, and some sheepshead. The post-holiday period has brought a bounty of fish to the waters. Expect to catch some black drum and possibly some flounder as well[1].
For lures, live or artificial shrimp are always a winner in these waters. Soft plastics like DOA shrimp or curly tail grubs can also produce good results. If you're targeting redfish, try using gold spoons or topwater plugs. For sheepshead, fiddler crabs or live shrimp are the way to go[1].
As for hot spots, the Intracoastal Waterway and its many creeks and backcountry estuaries are always productive. The area around the St. Augustine Inlet is also a good spot, especially for catching larger species like redfish and black drum. Another spot to consider is the Salt Run, which is known for its abundant fish life[4].
Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day on the water in St. Augustine. Make sure to check your gear and hit those hot spots early to make the most of your fishing trip.
