Fish are fired up! Offshore in the 21-fathom area—'bout 125 feet, 3-4 miles off the ledge—wahoo are the stars. Inthebite reports epic winter action: 100+ pounders like 119 and 109 from the 2024 Wahoo Shootout on Walk Thru 2, and a 91-pounder high-speed trolled in 2025.

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your St. Augustine fishing report!

We've got some excellent conditions shaping up today on the flats. Sunrise came in around 7:42 this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 7:30 tonight—giving us nearly 12 hours of solid fishing light. That's prime time for working the grass beds.

Tide-wise, we're seeing high water hit around 2:47 AM with 7.18 feet, then a low around 10:03 AM at just 0.53 feet. That afternoon high is pushing 3:35 PM. This gives us multiple windows to work. During that low tide push this morning, focus on the deeper potholes and channel edges where redfish and trout stack up. Once we get back to higher water this afternoon, those grass flats are going to light up.

Speaking of which—redfish are firing right now. March is prime spawning season, and they're schooled up and feeding aggressively. Fresh blue crab or fiddler crab on the bottom is your ticket. Watch for those telltale wakes and nervous water on calm mornings—reds push serious water when they're feeding. Speckled trout are also solid year-round here, running 14-24 inches. They love a popping cork with live shrimp worked along the grass edges, especially at dawn and dusk.

Sea trout are cooperative residents, typically 1-3 pounds with occasional bruisers over 5 pounds. They'll hammer both live and artificial baits. If you're targeting sheepshead around the docks and pilings, light jig heads with fiddler crabs will get the job done—just set the hook hard the second you feel them, or they'll steal your bait blind.

For hot spots, hit the St. Augustine flats where grass beds mix with sandy areas and oyster bars. That combination creates perfect ambush zones. Also work the deeper channels adjacent to the grass flats by drifting live mullet or shrimp on the bottom—that's where bigger drum and trout are hanging.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your St. Augustine fishing report.

We’ve got a classic late‑winter pattern shaping up. According to Tides4Fishing’s Matanzas Inlet chart for early March, we’re sitting on a **high tidal coefficient in the 70s**, so tides are still moving good water, just easing off those big moon swings. Matanzas shows **sunrise around 6:45–6:50 a.m. and sunset about 6:25–6:30 p.m.**, giving us plenty of light on the flats.

TidesChart’s Saint Johns County solunar table calls today an **excellent fishing day**, with **major feeding windows roughly 4–6 a.m. and 4–6 p.m., and minors around first light and again late afternoon**. That lines up nicely with your before‑work and after‑work missions.

Weather‑wise, the NWS marine forecast out of Jacksonville is calling for **light to moderate onshore flow with only isolated showers offshore**, so the **ICW and creeks will be very fishable** and the surf should be manageable for plugging troughs at first light.

Inshore, local captains working the Intracoastal from the Vilano Bridge down past the 206 bridge have been steady on **slot redfish, mixed trout, and a few sheepshead and black drum**. This past week, crews fishing deeper bends and oyster edges on the lower half of the outgoing have been boating **2–6 redfish a trip**, plus **a handful of legal trout** when they slide out of the shallows with the falling water.

Best producers right now:
- **Lures:** 3–4 inch **paddle‑tail soft plastics** in new penny or natural mullet on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads; **gold spoons** for covering water on the flats; and a **slow‑suspending hard jerkbait** over shell and potholes for trout.
- **Live bait:** **Mud minnows and live shrimp** are the MVPs. Fish them on a **slip float** or **Carolina rig** around dock pilings and oyster bars. Fiddler crabs are still scoring **sheepshead** on bridge and dock structure.

According to local surf and tide reports from Crescent and St. Augustine Beach, we’ve had **waist‑high surf with decent water movement at dawn**, which has helped the surf bite. Anglers soaking **fresh shrimp and Fishbites in the first and second trough** are picking up **whiting, smaller pompano, and an occasional slot red** on the last half of the incoming and first of the outgoing.

A couple hot spots to circle:
- **Matanzas Inlet / Crescent Beach Bridge:** Work the **ICW side bars and creek mouths** on the last of the outgoing for redfish. Slow‑roll a gold spoon or bounce a paddle‑tail along the drop‑offs; switch to live shrimp when the current really starts pushing.
- **Salt Run / Vilano Basin:** On the **first of the incoming**, look for clean water on the **east‑facing oyster edges**. Long casts with light jigheads and a natural‑colored soft plastic will find trout; ease a mud minnow along the bottom for reds.

Fish the **moving water during the solunar peaks**, keep your presentations slow and natural in the cooler morning temps, and bump up to brighter or noisier baits if the afternoon sun clears the water.

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to local fishin' expert right here in St. Augustine. Comin' at ya live on this fine March 6th mornin' at 8:32, with the sun risin' around 6:54 AM and settin' at 6:22 PM per Tide-Forecast.com. Weather's lookin' mild with risin' temps from that fadin' El Niño—expect partly cloudy skies, light winds, and water warmin' up nice, makin' fish active like in those Tampa Bay reports from Coastal Angler Mag.

Tides today at the City Dock are prime: low at 5:37 AM hittin' near zero, high at 11:34 AM around 4.22 feet, perfect for flood tide bites. Out at the Beach, similar action with lows near slack and highs pushin' 4.6 feet mid-mornin' accordin' to Tideschart.com.

Fish are wakin' up! Recent catches around here mirror spring patterns—folks pullin' in redfish by the dozen on the flats, slot-sized trout stackin' up in the creeks, and black drum thumpin' near structure. Sheepshead still hangin' on pilings, with a few early pompano showin' on the beach. Limits reported last week near the inlet, thanks to baitfish schools movin' in.

Best lures? Go with **Gulp! Swimming Mullet** in shrimp or chartreuse for reds and trout—work 'em slow on the retrieve. **Jigheads with paddle tails** under a popping cork for aggressive strikes. Live bait kings: fresh shrimp on a circle hook for sheepshead and drum, or mullet chunks for bigger reds. Finger mullet if you can net 'em.

Hit these hot spots: Vilano Beach piers for easy access trout and blues at first light, or the Matanzas Inlet jetties on the outgoin' tide for reds tearin' it up. Kayak the backwaters off US1 for sheltered action.

Stay safe, check regs, and wet a line!

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the salty shores on this fine March 4th mornin' at 8:31. Weather's lookin' prime out here—clear skies, light breeze off the Atlantic around 10-15 knots, temps hoverin' in the low 70s risin' to mid-70s by afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:46 AM, sunset 'round 6:26 PM, givin' us a solid 11+ hours of prime light for chasin' bites.

Tides are on point today per Tide-Forecast and Tides4Fishing charts: low tide hit early around 2:46 AM at -0.3 ft, high tide peaked at 8:48 AM pushin' 3.7 ft—perfect for flood tide action. Next low's 3:12 PM at -0.3 ft, then evenin' high at 9:10 PM at 3.6 ft. Fish are feedin' heavy on the incoming and outgoing swings, especially with that very high solunar coefficient makin' 'em aggressive.

Recent reports from local piers and inlets are lit—anglers haulin' in limits of redfish (slots 18-27 inches, dozens reported), speckled trout up to 4 pounds, black drum pushin' 10 lbs, plus flounder and sheepshead bitin' steady. Surf's producin' whiting and pompano, while boats off Vilano are pullin' Spanish mackerel and blues. Amounts? Solid—20-30 fish days common last week, per FWC creel surveys and angler logs.

Best lures right now: **gold spoons** like Johnson Silver Minnow for reds and trout in the flats, or **jigheads with Gulp! shrimp** in natural or new penny for flounder. Artificials shinin' over live bait lately with clear water. For bait, finger mullet or live shrimp on a popping cork can't miss—rig 'em Carolina-style for bottom feeders. Fish the troughs and grass lines at peak tides.

Hot spots? Hit the **Vilano Beach pier** for surf reds and trout, or **Matanzas Inlet** jetties for sheepshead and drum—park early, it's crowdin' up.
