Cold Breeze

Winter has arrived in St. Augustine, bringing a change for anglers. The cold weather prompts fish to move to deeper areas, seeking warmth. Anglers need to adapt and explore these spots where fish gather to escape the winter chill.

Sheepshead, commonly found near rocks and pilings, make their winter journey. Anglers use bottom sweeper jigs or sheepshead rigs to catch them, requiring skill and patience.

Redfish prefer shallow waters but stay close to safe spots. Anglers use soft plastic tails on a jig head or a Carolina Rig with cut bait to attract them.

Speckled Sea Trout takes the spotlight in winter. Anglers use live shrimp under a popping cork along grass lines for success.

Navigating St. Augustine's waters, rich in history, every cast becomes part of a fishing story. Anglers join the fish in their seasonal dance, using various techniques.
