As of today, November 7, 2024, the fishing scene in St. Augustine is looking promising. Here’s what you need to know:
First off, let's talk about the tides. Today, the first high tide was at 9:42 AM, and the next one will be at 9:55 PM. The low tides are at 3:26 AM and 4:09 PM. The tidal coefficient is high, at 80, indicating strong tidal movements and currents, which can be beneficial for fishing.
The weather is currently clear with sunny skies, temperatures in the mid-70s, and a northeast wind at about 10-15 knots. Sunrise was at 7:40 AM, and sunset will be at 6:37 PM.
For inshore fishing, the action has been good, especially at the jetties and creeks. Redfish are biting well, and while the numbers of sheepshead have dropped, the ones you catch are quality fish. Backcountry fishing has also been productive, with redfish, black drum, flounder, and sheepshead being common catches.
If you're heading out to fish, consider using live bait such as ballyhoos and sardines. For lures, light tackle and fly fishing gear are effective, especially in the shallow waters of the Intracoastal Waterway and its many creeks and tributaries.
Hot spots include the jetties, where redfish and sheepshead are active, and the backcountry areas like the creeks and tributaries around St. Augustine. The flats and estuaries are also great places to target these species.
Yesterday's offshore fishing charters yielded a good mix of fish, including vermillion snapper, trigger fish, amberjack, and cobia. These species are expected to continue biting as the weather remains favorable.
Overall, it's a great day to get out on the water in St. Augustine, with plenty of fish to be caught both inshore and offshore.
