 Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your St. Augustine fishing report for this beautiful Monday morning, May 19, 2025.

Weather's looking fine today with sunny skies and temperatures heading into the low 80s. We've got light westerly winds around 10 knots, making for some calm waters, especially in the morning hours. Perfect conditions to get out on the water!

The inshore fishing around St. Augustine has been firing up nicely this past week. The redfish bite has been steady, particularly during the morning high tides. You'll find those slot-sized reds hanging around the grass flats and creek mouths. Some bull reds are making surprise appearances too - always a bonus when you hook into one of those bruisers[1][4].

Sheepshead have finally started showing up in good numbers, mostly in the river systems. The jetties have been hit or miss for them, so plan accordingly[1]. Black drum are also making a decent showing, particularly around structure and pilings[4].

Trout fishing has picked up, with some good speckled trout catches reported on live shrimp. If you're heading offshore, the reports have been solid with sailfish, barracuda, various snappers, trigger fish, amberjack, and cobia all in the mix. Water temps are hovering around 70-77 degrees in the 80-120 foot depth range[3].

For bait, live shrimp under popping corks has been the ticket for inshore species, especially along oyster edges and drop-offs. Soft plastics are working well for redfish. If you're heading offshore, ballyhoo and sardines have been producing nicely[3][4].

Hot spots this week: Vilano Point has been productive for inshore action with redfish, flounder, and black drum all being caught regularly[4]. The Intracoastal Waterway creeks and backcountry estuaries are also holding plenty of fish - Captain Tommy Derringer knows those waters like the back of his hand and has been putting clients on fish consistently[2]. The St. Johns River is another good bet, especially for those sheepshead that have been showing up.

If you're looking to book a charter, there are plenty of great options in town. Just make sure you're going with someone who knows these waters - the local guides have been consistently getting their clients on fish despite the season being a bit behind schedule[1].

That's all for now, anglers! Get out there and wet a line - the fish are biting! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines, y'all!
