I spoke with Candice at Oldest City Bait & Tackle in St Augustine this afternoon. She was telling me that fishing is good in spite of poor weather conditions and spoty red tide. Beach fishing is best with redfish being caught in the morning and quite a few whiting being caught all day long. The St. Johns Co. Ocean Pier is also reporting good whiting action during the day and redfish in the morning. Fresh dead shrimp and live shrimp fished on the bottom are the best baits. Redfish are also active inside the pass and in the intercoastal waterway. Look for the reds around docks, mangroves and other structure. Live shrimp, cut mullet, and gold spoons are all good redfish bait. For more information contact;
