I spoke with Dave at Oldest City Bait & Tackle in St. Augustine today. He was telling me that in spite of the windy conditions lately, the fishing is very good. Speckled trout fishing is starting to slow but is still excellent. Live shrimp works great for trout. Flounder fishing turned on last week. Live shrimp or small bait fish bounced through sandy areas will produce lots of flounder. Black drum fishing is also excellent. Anglers at the pier are hooking up with many 3lb-4lb drum using shrimp, pieces of crab, or clams. Dave tells me that fishermen are lining up at the jetties to catch over sized redfish. These reds are well over the slot size so they are to big to keep, but they are a lot of fun to catch! They will eat almost any bait you throw to them including shrimp, live mullet, cut mullet, or mud minnows. Bring your heavy tackle! For more information contact;
