 Bait: Live shrimp and blue crabs

Water temp: 64 degrees 

Water depth: 2-5 ft

What's biting: Redfish and trout

 It’s a beautiful day here in St.Augustine Florida. The weather is warming up and the fish are biting! This last month has been aimed towards inshore fishing due to rough seas off shore , but not to worry, this coming up month (April-May) the Mahi will be running so make sure to schedule your Gulf Stream trip with us while days are still available, as we are booking  up quickly for this up coming spring/summer season. Fish currently in season are: SPECKLED TROUT,WAHOO,SNAPPER (RED) ,MARLIN (BLUE),JACK CREVALLE AND TUNA (BLACKFIN)

Today’s trip here on the drop down was on our inshore boat which is a 181 mako flats boat. We caught Red Fish, Trout and the occasional Flounder while using live shrimp on a Jig Head. With some good current ,The bigger fish seem to be moving out of the flats and on Shell bar. Usually more often than not the Red fish are the most common in shore fish to catch especially over Trout but it’s safe to say the trout bite has been unreal for the last few weeks!

While visiting Florida’s vacation destination in the oldest city, come experience St.Augustines beautiful salt life on a premier fishing charter whether you’re new to fishing or if you’re an avid angler, we strive to not only give professional education and safety on the sport but to insure you and your family have the best fishing experience that will make you love the sport and this beautiful, historical town as much as I do.

Happy Easter to you and your family.

Drop Down Charters Fishing Report for St. Augustine - 3/26/2017

Bait:    live shrimp 

Water temp: 67 degree

Water depth: 2-3 ft 

What's biting: Speckled sea trout and redfish 

The last few trips have been inshore flats fishing for big sea trout and slot size redfish. I have been using live shrimp on a float rig with a 3 ft leader  and small circle hook free line. When targeting big trout I look to focuse of white shell banks and small feeder creeks. Look for bait being crushed on the bank, trout will be not far behind.
