All-Inclusive Seasonal Guide
Seasonal Fishing in St. Augustine
Our boats leave St. Augustine every month of the year. Here's how each season fishes.
Spring (March – May)
Cobia show up along the St. Augustine beaches as they head north, and King and Spanish Mackerel arrive with warmer water. Mahi-Mahi start turning up offshore by late spring, a fine time for an 8-hour troll.
Summer (June – August)
Red Snapper season is short and federally set, usually falling in summer, so book early. Mahi-Mahi are still around, Grouper hold on the reefs, and the 11-hour Gulf Stream trip runs out to blue water.
Fall (Sep – Nov)
Fall in St. Augustine brings Bull Redfish, Flounder heading south, and Sheepshead on structure. Offshore, bottom trips for Snapper, Triggerfish and Amberjack keep a 6-hour charter busy.
Winter (Dec – Feb)
Locals know winter here: cool mornings, clear water and calmer days between fronts. Sheepshead and Black Drum are steady, and bottom fishing for Grouper and Snapper keeps the deeper trips worth running.
