Feeling the summer time grind here in St.Augustine Florida charter fishing offshore the last couple weeks! Deep sea trips have been producing a good variety of fish with mackerel bites in the mornings and bottom fishing in the afternoon. Been catching bait on the beach in about 15-25ft of water, one throw and go! Mackerel are in the places I've mentioned before and amberjack jacks have been biting on only live bait because of the thermocline that's luking around still. Snapper are biting but not nearly as hard. Hopefully the water will move around some and get that cold water outta here in the next weather blow. Till then - Come book your trip on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters and let's go fishing!

What's biting: Kingfish or king mackerel and cobia

Don't miss out on your half day trip on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters when your visiting St.Augustine Florida, the oldest city. The kingfish have been chewing and were catching our limits daily. The key as always is to find the bait and get some turbo livies! I have been fishing the same fishing grounds lately and with other pelagics like sailfish cobia and even the occasional mahi mahi swimming around. I like to always have a  designated jig rod ready for free swimmers that come up to the boat because you have to ready in seconds or the fish will lose interest. Preparation is everything in fishing and life. Be prepared and you will have constant better results on your total Fish count at the end of the day.

 Bait: live bait

Water temp: 76 degrees

Water depth: 40-65ft

What's biting: kingfish and Bonita 

Beautiful St.Augustine Florida is the next hot spot and so is half day trips on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters . The sun is shinning and we have been crushing the king mackerel in high numbers. Like I always say track down the bait and slow troll some natural bottom or stucuture. The king Fish have been averaging about 8-15 pounds and most bites around 9am. One key tip for anglers starting to live bait troll is make sure the rod has a very limber tip and the reel has a super smooth drag. It is key to land the 40 pound  smoker Mackerel!
