I spoke with Candice at Oldest City Bait & Tackle in St. Augustine today. She was telling me that the wind has died down and the fishing has picked up. Flounder are being caught in creeks, under docks and in the Intracoastal Waterway. Mud minnows, mullet, and shrimp are the best baits for flounder. Redfish are around docks and oyster bars in the Intracoastal. Live shrimp and mullet are good baits. Whiting, and a few pompano are being caught in the Intracoastal Waterway and on the beach. Live shrimp and sand flees are the best baits for whiting and pompano. Black drum, bluefish and spanish mackerel are being caught at the pier. Dead shrimp is the best bait for the black drum, small silver spoons and Got-Cha Plugs are best for the blues and spanish mackerel. Offshore, cobia, dolphin, and wahoo are all being caught. The cobia are close to the beach. A cobia jig with a large grub tail will get most of these fish to bite. Farther offshore look for weed lines and floating debris to locate dolphin. Cigar minnows or what ever bait fish are in the area will be the best bait for dolphin. Look for wahoo around color breaks in the water and around bait pods. Ballyhoo is the best bait for wahoo.
