  • Summary

  • For those heading out to fish in St. Augustine today, January 19, 2025, here’s what you need to know:

    ### Tidal Report
    Today's tides are as follows: Low tide at 6:08 AM with a height of 0.43 ft, high tide at 12:04 PM with a height of 4.0 ft, and another low tide at 6:27 PM with a height of 0.31 ft. These moderate tides should provide good conditions for both inshore and nearshore fishing[2][5].

    ### Weather
    Expect a typical winter day in St. Augustine with mild temperatures and possibly some gentle breezes. This weather should keep the fish active.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:20 AM, and sunset is at 5:51 PM, giving you ample daylight to hit your favorite spots.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a good catch of redfish, trout, and some sheepshead. The post-holiday period has brought a bounty of fish to the waters, so you can anticipate similar success today[1].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Redfish, trout, and sheepshead are the main targets. Redfish have been particularly active in the shallow waters and around oyster beds. Trout are being caught in the deeper channels and near structure. Sheepshead are abundant around docks and bridge pilings.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For redfish, use soft plastic lures like DOA shrimp or live bait such as mud crabs and shrimp. For trout, try using topwater plugs or live bait like shrimp or pinfish. Sheepshead are best caught with live or frozen fiddler crabs.

    ### Hot Spots
    - The Matanzas Inlet is a hot spot for redfish and trout, especially during the changing tides.
    - The waters around the St. Augustine City Dock are great for sheepshead and occasional trout.

    Captain Tommy Derringer, a local guide, recommends focusing on the Intracoastal Waterway and its many creeks, flats, and backcountry estuaries for the best results[4].

    With these conditions and tips, you should have a productive day on the water in St. Augustine. Good luck and tight lines
