Flood tides are here!!!!!!
Flood tides are here and the fishing has been insane... Redfish tailing all over the place... look for photo's here in the next few days. September and October are the best months to take advantage of the special "flood" tides. This is a very unique way to catch these fish and Northeast Florida ( Jacksonville - St. Augustine ) is the only place to do it. I only have a few openings left on the best tailing tide days so book you trip ASAP.

On the road again!!!
The fishing in St. Augustine has been on fire... Redfish are crushing topwater baits and believe it or not the Cobia are back on the beach and as hungry as ever. I had a charter with Matt and his son Jack on Thursday and they got a nice taste of both the inshore redfish bite and then the beach Cobia. I got a call from them later that night after the trip.. they were chowin down at JT's Seafood shack on the Cobia we had caught earlier in the day. What a great time. Looking ahead the bull reds should really start to show at the jetties and the flood tides are just around the corner.
Matt and Jack's Cobia....

It's hot out there so beat the heat! Get out at first light for the best inshore bite this month. Top-water "walk the dog" style plugs as well as "chuggers" will make for some exciting catches. Target concentrations of finger mullet, small pogys, and shrimp. They can be easily located by looking for nervous water (small disruptions on the surface, similar to a very small boat wake). Redfish, trout, and flounder will be found hanging around the schools of bait looking for an easy meal. If fishing the lower tide stage look for small shrimp to be scurrying away from redfish and flounder cruising along the banks of the creeks. If your fishing during the higher tide stages try a spinner bait. Spinner baits like those made by Slayer Inc. are great summer lures and can be fished "weedless" through the grass. The extra flash and "thump" the spinners create allow fish to find them in the murky sumer water and make for some really exciting hookups. You can also pair up a scented soft plastic like a Fishbite's Extreme paddle tail with the spinners baits to entice even the pickiest fish. Last month saw some chilly water temps along our beaches making for a somewhat inconsistent start to the beach tarpon season. When the water temps get back to normal look for the silver kings to be feeding early in the AM on the bait pods just off the beach. Free-line a pogy around the bait pods and hold on. If the tarpon don't want to play do some trolling along the beach for some line screaming kingfish action (there will be plenty of them out there). There will also be plenty of smaller tarpon inshore in the canals and deeper creeks and flats. A back hooked free-lined finger mullet, a free-lined select shrimp, or medium sized pogy, will all make for a great tarpon snack.
