Here in St. Augustine Florida the month of January 2020 the weather has been great and the fishing on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters has been really good! It’s been sunny most days and I’ve had inshore fishing charters and offshore fishing charters. Typically in the month of January it’s cold rainy and windy, nothing I like to be in. In fact if it’s below 80 degrees it’s too cold for capt Alex! But until today it has been nice 60-70 degrees. As for the fishing report tho, the last inshore charter I had we caught some really nice quality fish. I think we had 6 nice sea trout, 3 fat slot red fish, 2 5lb black drum, 2 -3 small flounder and a bunch of shorts! It was a great trip and lots of meat for the fryer. I caught these fish on the outgoing tide and shrimp was the bait of choice. I would expect it to be pretty decent bite if it’s not blowing 25knts and 45 degrees. The offshore fishing charters off St. Augustine that I’ve had have been shorter trips 4-6 hr charters. I’ve been bottom fishing for Cobia , amberjack, and vermillion snapper. Wrecks are the place to be if targeting these fish and jigging just seems productive. But always have a live bait in the well, I don’t care what it is. Big ledges also hold Cobia along with other reef fish. If your planning a trip or vacation to St. Augustine Florida, Soon to come next in March April May are all the pelagics- big wahoo, mahi mahi, tuna fish, sailfish and even blue marlin.
