  • Summary

  • As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene in St. Augustine, Florida, is looking promising. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect today.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the sun rose at 6:54 AM and will set at 5:27 PM, giving us about 10 hours and 32 minutes of daylight. The tidal conditions are as follows: the first low tide was at 5:23 AM, the high tide at 11:48 AM, and the next low tide at 6:14 PM. The tidal coefficient is average, around 44, indicating moderate tidal amplitude[3].

    The weather is currently cloudy with a temperature of 74 degrees and a wind out of the northeast at 15 to 20 knots.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity in St. Augustine has been very high, especially in the offshore areas. Yesterday, anglers caught a variety of species including sailfish, barracuda, snapper, trigger fish, amberjack, cobia, mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo, and red snapper. The artificial reefs about 15-20 miles offshore have been particularly productive[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For offshore fishing, using bait like ballyhoos and sardines has been highly effective. These baits attract a wide range of species, especially the larger game fish like mahi-mahi and wahoo.

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking to fish inshore, consider the beaches and bays around St. Augustine. Butler Beach and Vilano Beach Bridge are excellent spots, especially during twilight times when the water is clear and shallow. For land-based fishing, harbors and marinas like The Conch House Marina, Fish Island Marina, and the City of Saint Augustine Municipal Marina are great places to catch a variety of fish as they move in and out with the tides[2].

    For those venturing offshore, the artificial reefs have been yielding great catches of snapper, trigger fish, and other bottom fish. Drop Down Sport Fish Charters has reported successful trips with limits of vermillion snapper and significant catches of red snapper[1].

    Overall, today is an excellent day to cast your line in St. Augustine, with favorable tidal conditions and high fish activity. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and enjoy the waters of this historic city.
