Inshore fishing has been good with flounder, sheepshead and a good bull redfish bite.

Inshore fishing has been good with flounder, sheepshead and a good bull redfish bite. Ian has offshore waters stirred up but the bite for bottom fishing has been good for snapper, beeliners, triggerfish and some seabass. As the water cleans up some striking
fish should show up like king mackerel,
barracuda, and jacks. Here are pictures of most recent fish.

Hey Hannah, the redfish bite is still steady. With the flood tides target grass lines with a popping cork and a live mullet or shrimp on a 1/0 circle hook. For the bull reds target the inlets with either live mullet, blue crab or cut bait on a 3/0 hook with minimal weight. Slack tides will produce the best fishing. Flounder, same ole story. Target creek mouths, bends and sandbars. The snook bite is the best it's been in a couple of weeks. Target most of the same area's as the smaller refs and flounder with live shrimp or finger mullet on a 1/0 to a 3/0 hook with a split shot or under a popping cork.
In the St. John's River the everything is still keyed in on shrimp as they thin out. Use a slip cork rig with a 1/0 to 3/0 hook and pitch up close to natural shoreline and hold on. You can expect to catch everything from largemouth, striped bass, red fish and catfish. Currently we are experiencing higher than usual flood tides so the fishing is tough but once you find them the bite is pretty good.

The red fish bite is still good despite them being spread out a little in the creeks and flats. Most are staging in the inlets for the mullet run and spawning. Flounder and drum bite is still good. Look for both in creek corners and creek mouths for the flounder....

The red fish bite is still good despite them being spread out a little in the creeks and flats. Most are staging in the inlets for the mullet run and spawning.
Flounder and drum bite is still good. Look for both in creek corners and creek mouths for the flounder.

The water temperature will start to drop in the next few weeks so we can expect to start seeing some triple tail more often and the trout bite will get better.
We’re also picking up snook in residential canals and creeks on the falling tide.
Tarpon are on the beach along with big jacks and Spanish mackerel. Target the pogy pods just off the beach or in the surf.

    We had a wonderful trip with Captain Dan to lay my mother’s ashes to rest. Dan was very respectful, explained exactly what would happen and made sure the experience would be a beautiful memory for us. I’ll never forget the sight of the flower petals on the water and the dolphins in the background. Dan worked with our schedule to find a new time when the weather didn’t cooperate on our original date. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Thank you Dan!

    Trip: Spreading Ashes In Saint Augstine

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Mike was awesome! He was actively watching the weather the week before and staying in touch with us. We decided to move the trip up a day to avoid 3-5 ft seas. We stayed out an extra hour even with the crazy cost of fuel right now. I caught 13 snapper alone and had 2 bites so big they broke the leader line. It felt like the rod was going to be the first to break. My friends loved the trip as well catching probably another 10 between them. We will definitely be back in touch with Captain Mike soon!

    Captain Bill delivered a first class experience to a mixed crew of seasoned and novice anglers. He was able to connect with each of us in ways that made the trip memorable and kept all of us actively fishing throughout our six hour trip. I've booked trips across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Florida, and the Caribbean, and Bill is among the best captains I've chartered. He is a talented and dedicated professional who works hard to put his crew on fish for an excellent value trip.
