Drop Down Charters Fishing Report for St. Augustine Florida - 07/30/2017

 Bait: Cut sardine chunks

Water temp: 80

Water depth: 100ft

What's biting: cobia, amberjack, snapper

Still solid fishing here in St.Augustine Florida the oldest city in the nation! Fishing on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters we have been running charters every day and are dialed in on the fish. I've had a lot of fullday trips which we have been fishing 100ft. The bait has been scattered but if you spend enough time you can get some minnows. Blasting from the bait spot to the fishing grounds and always looking at the bottom finder in search of new fishing spots. Once at the destination, anchor up and get in line with the wreck your fishing. Make sure your chum slick is running across the desired fishing area. From there you should be able to hone in on snapper and other bottom fish. After a good chum slick keep your eyes peeled for other pelagics that could swim up the back of the boat looking for the next chunk of bait. Till then come book your trip on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters and let's go fishing!

What's biting: cobia, kingfish, amberjack

Still good half day action on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters here in St. Augustine Florida in this month of July. All you half dayers that want to catch some nice fish but don't want to be out there in the heat all day now is the time to get the last of the constant troll bite. The bait has been pretty  hit or miss and I like to be ready and troll early so I've been skipping the bait and just trolling artificial lures. It's been very productive and still catching a lot of kingfish, barracuda, cobia, and boneheads. Head offshore to the live bottom or structure in 65ft and troll around. Look for any signs of life. Birds, baitfish, or weed line all hold Fish. Come book your trip on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters and let's go fishing!

The fish are biting!!! Let's go fishing!!! St. Augustine Florida is the place to be. Come vacation destination here and do a fishing charter on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters. The fishing had been outstanding the last couple weeks with limits of amberjack and snapper almost every trip. There has been a thermocline in the water but if you can find live bait you can crush some fish offshore. I have been fishing waters in 85-100 ft for amberjack with a fish finder rig but with a very long leader. At least 8ft with flourocarbon leader will help you get the bite. Make sure you wait a few seconds after fish bites to make sure it swallows the bait. As I didn't follow my own rule and lost the biggest cobia I've ever seen two days ago!! The snapper have been on fire as well, using cut sardines is my favorite for big bees. You also catch a variety more fish. I have fished the last 21 days in a row and where dialed in here on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters to kill some fish. Give us a call and let's go fishing!

Mackerel are in the places I've mentioned before and amberjack jacks have been biting on only live bait because of the thermocline that's luking around still.
