   Good morning from Drop Down Sport Fish Charters here in the oldest city St. Augustine Florida. It’s been pretty breezy this week for the most part, but that hasn’t stopped Drop Down Sport Fish Charters. We’ve had a couple inshore fishing trips this week with decent results. A few slot size red fish to keep, a bunch of smaller rat reds, along with keeper size sea trout and flounder. I’ve been catching these fish all over the icw but more bites on the shoreline with some current. As for deepsea and offshore fishing out of St. Augustine Florida , the water is still green and cold, But that’s all about to change. There where lots of sailfish caught last week so the offshore pelagics should be any day the first wave of mahi and tuna Fish will be coming threw. Focus on the water temperature change and fish there, there should be plenty of action. If not then find any changes in the ocean from water temp, to water color, to structure such as weed lines or debris. A floating log or pallet is almost guaranteed Mahi mahi. If your looking for a inshore Or Offshore Fishing Charter call Drop Down Sport Fish Charters for premier charters in st. Augustine Florida.

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!

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!

Feeling the summer time grind here in St.Augustine Florida charter fishing offshore the last couple weeks! Deep sea trips have been producing a good variety of fish with mackerel bites in the mornings and bottom fishing in the afternoon. Been catching bait on the beach in about 15-25ft of water, one throw and go! 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. Snapper are biting but not nearly as hard. Hopefully the water will move around some and get that cold water outta here in the next weather blow. Till then - Come book your trip on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters and let's go fishing!

Drop Down Charters Fishing Report for St. Augustine - 05/21/2017

 Bait: live bait

Water temp: 76 degrees

Water depth: 40-65ft

What's biting: kingfish and Bonita 

Beautiful St.Augustine Florida is the next hot spot and so is half day trips on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters . The sun is shinning and we have been crushing the king mackerel in high numbers. Like I always say track down the bait and slow troll some natural bottom or stucuture. The king Fish have been averaging about 8-15 pounds and most bites around 9am. One key tip for anglers starting to live bait troll is make sure the rod has a very limber tip and the reel has a super smooth drag. It is key to land the 40 pound  smoker Mackerel!
