Fishing Techniques That Land Lunkers

Alright, let's talk strategy. Inshore fishing in St. Augustine isn't just about dropping a line and hoping for the best. We're talking finesse here, folks. Depending on the tide and what's biting, we might start with some light tackle action, tossing soft plastics or live bait around structure. If the redfish are tailing in the shallows, we'll switch to sight fishing – it's like hunting, but on the water. And for those sea trout? Nothing beats a popping cork rig when they're schooled up. Captain Mike's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, like knowing just when to switch from artificial to live bait or how to work a topwater lure to drive those snook crazy. By the end of the trip, you'll have picked up some new skills that'll serve you well on any inshore adventure.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's the way Captain Mike turns every trip into a personalized experience, whether you're looking to learn new techniques or just want to relax and catch your dinner. Plus, with our special football weekend rates, you're getting a premium fishing experience without the premium price tag. It's the perfect way to kick off game day or wind down after a big win.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's break down the all-stars you'll be targeting on this trip. First up, the redfish – these copper-colored bruisers are the bread and butter of St. Augustine inshore fishing. They love to hang around oyster bars and grass flats, and when they're tailing, it's a sight that'll get your heart racing. Redfish put up a heck of a fight and can range from slot-sized eating machines to over-slot giants that'll test your drag.

Next, we've got the spotted sea trout, or "specks" as the locals call 'em. These guys are the ultimate light tackle challenge. They've got paper-thin mouths, so finesse is key. But man, when you get into a school of them, it's non-stop action. Spring and fall are prime time for trout, but we catch 'em year-round here in St. Augustine.

And let's not forget about the southern flounder. These flatfish might not look like much, but they're ambush predators with a serious appetite. They love to hang out on sandy bottoms near structure, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting baitfish. Flounder fishing requires a bit of patience and a delicate touch, but when you hook into a doormat, it's all worth it. Plus, they're absolutely delicious if you're looking to take home some dinner.

While they're not one of our primary targets, keep an eye out for snook. These line-sided predators are like the ninjas of the inshore world. They're crafty, hard-fighting, and love to hang around structures like docks and mangroves. Landing a snook is always a highlight, especially since their range is expanding northward into our area.
