Drop Down Charters Fishing Report for St. Augustine - 4/29/2017

Bait: ballyhoo and artificial 

Water temp: 73 degrees 

Water depth: 150-600 ft 

What's biting: mahi, tuna fish, wahoo and billfish 

As we enter the month of May, fish will be chewing from all angles! A lot of my trips this month will be in the deep, as we target offshore pelagics. Mahi, one of the most extciting game fish around will be biting ballyhoo on the troll in high numbers. Find a good water temp change and breaks or rips in the ocean. A weed line in the perfect senerio and fish will be there. Always have multiple rods ready incase you see free swimmers. If your ready to go catch some awesome fish and great memories give us a call and let's go fishing!

Bait: Sardines and jigs

Water temp: 73 degrees

Water depth: 100ft

What's biting: Snapper/Amberjack/Triggerfish 

Aww, the month of April, spring is here and the fish are too! I have had a pretty decent month bottom fishing offshore and have been finding fish at 80/100ft. Drop down some sardines on the wrecks and the fish are there! The bees (a.k.a. Snapper) were fired up along with some nice Amberjack. Also, Gulf Stream pelagics like Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna fish, and Billfish will be on the hunt for food as they go north. Get your gear ready it's on! 

Nice 6 hour trip on Drop Down Fishing Charters

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.
