Fishing St. Augustine
St. Augustine sits on the Atlantic side, where the Matanzas and Tolomato rivers and the St. Augustine Inlet drive a strong redfish, trout, and flounder fishery. Whiting and pompano work the surf, and a run offshore reaches kingfish, snapper, and cobia. The bigger Atlantic tides here mean current is a constant factor around the inlet.
Target species
- Redfish
- Spotted seatrout
- Flounder
- Pompano
Local tip: The inlet and creek mouths fish hard on a moving tide; flounder favor the outgoing.
