Good evening from Drop Down Sport Fish Charters here in the beautiful city St. Augustine Florida. The weather is currently 74 degrees and clear skies. A great time of year in northeast Florida, not to hot but not to cold! And the fish like it too! If your coming to St. Augustine Florida in November the offshore fishing charters will be hot. Deepsea fishing around 120ft should be wide open with some good bottom fishing for snapper and grouper. The offshore trolling bite for Mahi wahoo tuna fish and sails can also be very capable to be caught. As for inshore fishing charters back country for nice redfish trout flounder sheep head and black drum the bite in November is one of my favorites. A variety of bites and fish with awesome weather is hard to beat. I still have some days open so give me a call at Drop Down Sport Fish Charters in St. Augustine Florida and let’s go fishing.

We have been bottom fishing catching vermillion snapper, red snapper, grouper, and Cobia.
