Water temp: 64 degrees 

Water depth: 2-5 ft

What's biting: Redfish and trout

 It’s a beautiful day here in St.Augustine Florida. The weather is warming up and the fish are biting! This last month has been aimed towards inshore fishing due to rough seas off shore , but not to worry, this coming up month (April-May) the Mahi will be running so make sure to schedule your Gulf Stream trip with us while days are still available, as we are booking  up quickly for this up coming spring/summer season. Fish currently in season are: SPECKLED TROUT,WAHOO,SNAPPER (RED) ,MARLIN (BLUE),JACK CREVALLE AND TUNA (BLACKFIN)

Today’s trip here on the drop down was on our inshore boat which is a 181 mako flats boat. We caught Red Fish, Trout and the occasional Flounder while using live shrimp on a Jig Head. With some good current ,The bigger fish seem to be moving out of the flats and on Shell bar. Usually more often than not the Red fish are the most common in shore fish to catch especially over Trout but it’s safe to say the trout bite has been unreal for the last few weeks!

While visiting Florida’s vacation destination in the oldest city, come experience St.Augustines beautiful salt life on a premier fishing charter whether you’re new to fishing or if you’re an avid angler, we strive to not only give professional education and safety on the sport but to insure you and your family have the best fishing experience that will make you love the sport and this beautiful, historical town as much as I do.

Water temp: 61 degrees

Water depth: 40-100ft

What's biting: cobia and wahoo

 Good morning here from Drop Down Sport Fish Charters in the oldest city st. Augustine Florida. Its only a matter of time and the brown clown will be showing up on the beach and offshore wrecks in numbers. The water is still alil bit to cold but when it’s gets up to 70 degrees it should be game on. The bait will be here and the fish will be too. When I Fish for cobia offshore I like to have multiple rods ready with different rigs. These fish nowadays get beat up on so bad in south Florida the time they get here they have seen every jig and bait thrown at them. So having a nice arsenal of rigs can make all the difference in catching one or six! Preparation is everything. The wahoo bite is also around with fish up to 80lbs. Horse ballyhoo on the deep line will get the job done and if you want to specifically target the bigger wahoo high speed trolling is your best bet! If your thinking about booking a trip don’t hesitate to call and set up a reservation, dates are filling up fast. Till next time tight lines from Drop Down Charters! Let’s go fishing! 9045018572

 Good morning here from Drop Down Sport Fish Charters here in the oldest city St. Augustine Florida.
