St. Augustine Fishing Report: Redfish, Trout, and Snook Bite Hot in Spring Conditions
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your St. Augustine fishing report for March 15, 2025. Let me tell you, the fishing's been hot lately, and it's only getting better as we head into spring.
First off, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide at 6:18 AM and another at 6:42 PM, with lows at 12:24 AM and 12:36 PM. Sunrise is at 7:28 AM, and sunset's at 7:29 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with.
Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 73°F and a light southeast breeze around 5-10 mph. Perfect conditions for a day on the water!
Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Redfish have been absolutely on fire lately, especially around oyster beds and creek mouths during the falling tide. I've been hearing reports of some real bruisers in the 30-inch range being caught. Speckled trout are also biting well, particularly in deeper holes and around docks during the early morning hours.
For you snook enthusiasts, they've been showing up in good numbers around the inlet and bridges. The warmer water temps have got them fired up and feeding aggressively. And don't forget about the sheepshead - they're still hanging around structure and providing some great action.
As for lures, I've had great success with soft plastics on a jighead, especially in natural shrimp colors. For redfish, a gold spoon or a topwater plug like a Zara Spook has been deadly. If you're targeting trout, try a suspending twitch bait or a DOA shrimp under a popping cork.
Live bait's always a good bet too. Shrimp are readily available and will catch just about anything that swims. Mud minnows and finger mullet are also producing well if you can get your hands on them.
For those looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the flats around Guana River or the creeks off the San Sebastian River. The Matanzas Inlet area has also been producing some quality fish lately.
Remember, folks, the bite's been best on the falling tide, so plan accordingly. And as always, handle those fish with care if you're practicing catch and release.
That's all for now, anglers. Get out there and tight lines!
