Good evening from Drop Down Sport Fish Charters in the beautiful city Saint Augustine Florida. This report effective around 730 pm the weather is currently 77 degrees with sunny skies and wind out of the north east at 10 knots. The offshore fishing charters this month of September out of Saint Augustine Florida on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters has been very good. A lot of rain has the water a dark brownish inshore but once out 15-20 miles it cleans up to a decent blue. Bottom fishing on 6-8 hr deep sea fishing charters has been steady with a bunch of vermillion snapper , few trigger fish, some jacks,sharks and plenty of the endangered red snapper. Drop Down Sport Fish Charters will also be doing inshore flats fishing for redfish trout and flounder beginning in November to February 2025. If you are looking for a fun laid back Charter and not looking to get bounced around offshore or see sickness prone then maybe a flats inshore backcountry fishing charter is for you. Saint Augustine, Florida has great inshore fishing habitat. The creeks and river with lots of marsh offer a variety of habitat for inshore fish. The next couple of months is some of my favorite time of year and the offshore fishing is great too. If you are planning a trip to Saint Augustine Florida and looking for a offshore fishing charter then give us a call on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters and let’s go catching!!

Still good half day action on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters here in St. Augustine Florida in this month of July. All you half dayers that want to catch some nice fish but don't want to be out there in the heat all day now is the time to get the last of the constant troll bite. The bait has been pretty  hit or miss and I like to be ready and troll early so I've been skipping the bait and just trolling artificial lures. It's been very productive and still catching a lot of kingfish, barracuda, cobia, and boneheads. Head offshore to the live bottom or structure in 65ft and troll around. Look for any signs of life. Birds, baitfish, or weed line all hold Fish. Come book your trip on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters and let's go fishing!
