  • Summary

  • If you're planning to hit the waters of St. Augustine today, January 18, 2025, here's what you need to know:

    First off, let's talk tides. Today, the low tide is at 5:18 AM with a tidal height of 1.8 feet, and the high tide is at 11:34 AM with a height of 2.07 feet. These tides should provide some good movement for the fish[2].

    Weather-wise, it's looking like a partly cloudy day with mild temperatures, which is perfect for fishing. Sunrise was at 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there.

    Yesterday's fishing was quite active, especially for redfish, trout, and whiting. Anglers reported catching a good number of red drum in the Matanzas River and around the oyster beds. Trout were also plentiful in the same areas, particularly around Salt Run where the clear waters make sight fishing a breeze[3][4].

    For bait, live shrimp is always a winner in these waters. Their natural movement and scent make them irresistible to many species. Mud minnows and live fiddler crabs are also highly effective, especially for sheepshead and black drum. If you're looking for lures, soft plastics and jigs can mimic the natural baitfish and shrimp that these fish are feeding on[3].

    As for hot spots, the Matanzas River is a must-visit. Focus on the flats and oyster beds where redfish and trout tend to congregate. Salt Run is another excellent spot, especially for sight fishing. Devils Elbow and the Matanzas Inlet are also known to hold a variety of fish, including flounder and tarpon[3][4].

    So, grab your gear, including some live shrimp and mud minnows, and head out to the Matanzas River or Salt Run for a productive day of fishing in St. Augustine. Good luck out there
