The weather is currently sunny but brisk with the high of 55° and a north east wind of 10 miles an hour. The offshore fishing charters in February off St. Augustine Florida on a long deep sea fishing trips high speed trolling for wahoo can be world class with some fish weighing in the triple digits. Where it can be boring, driving around for hours with out a bite and not a bunch of strikes for the charter to reel on but if you high speed w big lures it will most definitely increase your odds on getting the mega-hoo 100+ pounder. Slow trolling with ballyhoo is also productive and provides a lot more pelagic bites. Not always the big wahoo or sometimes what you want but it’s good for a variety of fish.

Good afternoon here from Drop Down Sport Fish Charters in Saint Augustine Florida. The weather is overcast with east winds 10 knots and about 60 degrees outside. Saint Augustine Florida is a great place to visit this time of year and do a offshore fishing charter. Offshore fishing trolling for sailfish wahoo mahi tuna fish and more is all targeted species. The water is finally actually changing and getting colder and bringing some different pelagic‘s around. Deep-sea fishing charters like bottom fishing for grouper snapper triggerfish Amberjack and Cobia are also very productive this time of year fishing big ledges and wrecks that hold bigger fish. The best way to target Cobia and Amber Jack is to have a live bait or jig and it’s not uncommon to have 2-3 come up to the boat when hooked up to a fish.
