If you're planning to hit the waters around St. Augustine today, here’s what you need to know:

### Conditions
The weather is looking great with sunny skies, making it an ideal day for fishing. Sunrise was at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 6:43 PM, giving you a full day on the water.

### Tidal Report
Check the tidal charts, as the high tide is expected around 10:30 AM and the low tide around 4:30 PM. These tidal changes can significantly affect fish activity, especially around the jetties and creeks.

### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a good bite, particularly for redfish and sheepshead. The jetty fishing has been productive, with the sheepshead numbers dropping off but the ones caught being of high quality. Redfish are biting well at the jetties and in the creeks.

### Types and Amounts of Fish
Anglers reported catching a decent number of redfish, sheepshead, and some snook. The redfish were particularly active in the morning and late afternoon.

### Best Lures and Bait
For redfish, live or cut bait such as shrimp or mullet works well. Artificial lures like spoons and soft plastics in natural colors are also effective. For sheepshead, fiddler crabs or live shrimp are the go-to baits. If you're targeting snook, try using live bait like pinfish or jigs with a soft plastic trailer.

### Hot Spots
- **Matanzas Inlet**: This area is known for its strong currents and abundant fish life, making it a great spot for catching redfish and sheepshead.
- **St. Augustine City Dock**: The jetties here are always bustling with fish, especially during the changing tides.
- **Creeks and Backcountry**: Areas like the Intracoastal Waterway and its many creeks are perfect for targeting redfish and snook in the shallow waters.

With the right bait and a bit of local knowledge, you should have a bountiful day on the waters of St. Augustine. Enjoy your fishing trip
