Drop Down Charters Fishing Report for St. Augustine Florida - 07/20/2017

 Bait: planners and spoons

Water temp: 80

Water depth: 65ft

What's biting: cobia, kingfish, amberjack

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!

Drop Down Charters Fishing Report for St. Augustine Florida - 07/16/2017

Bait: live bait 

Water temp: 80

Water depth: 65ft-100ft

What's biting: cobia, kingfish, amberjack, snapper, grouper

The fish are biting!!! Let's go fishing!!! St. Augustine Florida is the place to be. Come vacation destination here and do a fishing charter on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters. The fishing had been outstanding the last couple weeks with limits of amberjack and snapper almost every trip. There has been a thermocline in the water but if you can find live bait you can crush some fish offshore. I have been fishing waters in 85-100 ft for amberjack with a fish finder rig but with a very long leader. At least 8ft with flourocarbon leader will help you get the bite. Make sure you wait a few seconds after fish bites to make sure it swallows the bait. As I didn't follow my own rule and lost the biggest cobia I've ever seen two days ago!! The snapper have been on fire as well, using cut sardines is my favorite for big bees. You also catch a variety more fish. I have fished the last 21 days in a row and where dialed in here on Drop Down Sport Fish Charters to kill some fish. Give us a call and let's go fishing!

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!

Drop Down Charters Fishing Report for St. Augustine - 06/03/2017

Bait: pogies 

Water temp: 77 degrees

Water depth: 45-65 ft

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.
