Water depth: 45-65 ft

What's biting: Kingfish or king mackerel and cobia

Don't miss out on your half day trip on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters when your visiting St.Augustine Florida, the oldest city. The kingfish have been chewing and were catching our limits daily. The key as always is to find the bait and get some turbo livies! I have been fishing the same fishing grounds lately and with other pelagics like sailfish cobia and even the occasional mahi mahi swimming around. I like to always have a  designated jig rod ready for free swimmers that come up to the boat because you have to ready in seconds or the fish will lose interest. Preparation is everything in fishing and life. Be prepared and you will have constant better results on your total Fish count at the end of the day.

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!

School is almost out... let's go fishing... come book your trip on Drop Down Fishing Charters. St. Augustine Florida is a great destination to go on vacation. There are still a few cobia swimming around offshore along with good numbers of kingfish. The king mackerel have been biting in 65ft of water and catching them on live bait. Pogies, sardines and cigar minnows work the best. But other baits and trolling techniques will work as well, such as the ol planner and spoons! Whichever you choose will work! I just like to have live bait, it opens a variety of fish you can target on fishing charters! Hone in on live bottom ledges and wrecks with bait on them! Set the drag light and get ready for a strike!!!
