Saint Augustine Fishing Report - Snook Fishing 2023

Hey there, fishing enthusiasts! Captain Cullen here with a quick fishing report from my recent trip in St. Augustine, targeting snook on fly.

We decided to switch things up and go after some new saltwater species, and my guest Reid did an amazing job on the fly rod. We managed to hook into some impressive snook during our trip.

Although we were successful in landing some snook, there were still some elusive zebra fish that managed to escape us. But they're definitely still on our list for future trips!

Fishing in St. Augustine always presents exciting challenges and opportunities, and it's been a blast exploring the waters with my guests. Can't wait for more adventures and tight lines in the future!

Redfish

At St. Augustine, the water temperature drops, and clear waters make for excellent sight-fishing for big Drums and Redfish. Fish with us!

<div>As days begin to shorten &amp; temps begin to cool, the resfish &amp; flounder bite are really heating up. From slot size redfish in the shallows to bulls in the inlet, there's plenty of redfishing opportunities this time of year. Add in the first waves of the seasonal mullet run and we're starting to see more tarpon &amp; jack crevale coming in to feed. August has been one of the best months I've seen for flounder &amp; doesnt seem to be slowing down either. In the ocean, we've seen a push of the gulf stream come in closer off the beach which has brought in pods of blood minnows which serves feeding opportunities for tarpon, bonita, javk crevale, &amp; spanish mackeral. &nbsp;Fall is my favorite tine of the year to fish here as there's often a lot of activity &amp; options to target a wide variety of species.</div>
