 Good morning from St. Augustine, this is Artificial Lure with your Sunday fishing report for May 11, 2025.

We’re waking up to another classic Northeast Florida May morning—plenty of sun, calm conditions, and a gentle westerly breeze making it mighty fine on the water. Sunrise came right around 6:32 AM with sunset expected at 8:08 PM. Tides are in our favor for most of the day: the outgoing tide mid-morning should have inshore species fired up around the creek mouths and along the edges of the Intracoastal.

Let’s talk about the bite. In the river, sheepshead are finally showing up in better numbers—target them around the bridge pilings and deeper docks with fiddler crabs or sand fleas for best results. The jetties have been hit and miss for sheepshead but offer up a solid shot at bull reds, especially if you drift with live blue crab or cut mullet. Speckled trout are biting well on live shrimp beneath popping corks, especially early and late in the day[1][2].

If you’re after flounder, reports from last week were positive nearshore, though recent storms have made things a little unpredictable. Folks still picking up keepers are doing it with finger mullet on Carolina rigs, primarily at the mouths of smaller creeks and around sandy drop-offs[4].

Offshore, it’s heating up. Kingfish are making their way closer to shore as summer rolls in, and they’re hitting fast-moving lures, spoons, and slow-trolled live bait along the reefs. Wrecks and ledges are holding snapper and the occasional grouper—try squid or cigar minnows for the best shot at a mixed bag[5].

For lures, soft plastics in natural colors have been working for reds and trout, especially worked slow on the flats as the day warms up. Topwaters like Super Spooks or Skitter Walks are great first thing in the morning or around dusk. Don’t shy away from live bait—shrimp and finger mullet will get more bites than anything else right now.

Hot spots to try today: The Vilano Bridge pilings are steady for sheepshead and the odd drum. Anastasia State Park’s beach access points offer a chance at pompano and whiting early. And for some rod-bending action, hit the Matanzas Inlet or the old Salt Run for trout and reds.

All in all, it’s shaping up to be a banner May Sunday out here. Whether you’re drifting the flats or running deep for pelagics, now’s the time to wet a line in St. Augustine. Tight lines, y’all[1][2][5]!
