Summer 2004 Fishing Report

"It was a terrific summer of fishing in St. Augustine this year, a far cry from last year, when the water was too frigid to catch much. This year the cobia were fantastic as seen in some of the great pictures here on the website. Inshore, the reds, trout, and flounder were plentiful as well.

We had terrific weather with some absolutely gorgeous sunrises and sunsets with light wind. Perfect for fishing, but fantastic for just peace of mind! Even the manatees blessed some of our trips with some up close and personal visits as some of my customers can attest to!

The recent hurricanes in Florida have put the late August and early September fishing on hold, but I expect the fall to be terrific in just a few more weeks once the water clears up and the cooler temps turn on the bite once more. Book a trip early! St. Augustine was undamaged in the recent bout of hurricanes and is in great shape for the Fall and Winter season. See you soon!"

January - March

Offshore: Fishing in St. Augustine 60 miles offshore can be difficult this time of year but rewarding with wahoo and tuna. Grouper, snapper and many other varieties of reef and wreck fish can also be found.

Inshore: If the wind stays down and water temperatures stay up, your trip can provide redfish, trout, and flounder opportunities. Weather dictates when the best opportunities are provided.

March - May

Offshore: Bluewater offshore St. Augustine can still be tough to reach on a regular basis, but the dolphin, tuna, and wahoo become more available. Weed lines, current rips and temperature changes provide lots of likely places to find gamefish.

Nearshore: Cobia and grouper begin to move north with the bait and warmer watersature. So the nearshore hotspots become active spots to find food and fun.

Inshore: Redfish, trout, bluefish and some flatties find their way to hook and line. As the water cleans, calms and warms, it provides some great fishing experiences inshore.

May - September

Offshore: This time of year is the beat for all offshore species. Dolphin, wahoo, tuna, sailfish, marlin, grouper, snapper, amberjack, cobia. Although the fish are tough to tackle, and sometimes you lose, the experience is worth remembering!

Nearshore: Kingfish, tarpon, cobia and big reds follow the poagie pods from south to north. Finding the bait means finding the fish. Days can be hot, and the fish can be picky, but persistence usually pays off.

Inshore: Flounder and reds school up and trout are fired up early in the morning and late in the evening. Beautiful weather can turn nice and hot, so watch out for a sunburn and occasional storm.

September - December

Offshore: Fishing holds up until the seas get too rough to make the 60-mile run.

Nearshore: Tarpon and kings will remain until the water temperature falls and the bait heads back south.

Inshore: This time of year brings the best redfish, flounder, and trout fishing that St. Augustine can provide. There's plenty of bait inside with warm water and cooler temperatures.

Note: Hope the information is valuable to you whether you're fishing on your own or decide to take a guided fishing trip with us. Email me if I can be of any more assistance, or if you have a fishing question. Let's go fishing!
