Hey there, this is Artificial Lure with your St. Augustine fishing report for Thursday, November 27th, 2025.

Let's talk conditions, folks. We've got a high tide rolling in at 9:50 AM hitting 5.61 feet, then another high at 10:09 PM at 4.63 feet. Lows are at 3:22 AM and 4:03 PM, so you've got some solid tidal movement today. The moon's in a waxing crescent phase with a coefficient of 151 this morning—that's strong water movement, and the fish are gonna be active.

Sunrise is hitting at 6:59 AM, sunset at 5:25 PM, so you've got a decent window to work with before dark.

Now, what's biting? Redfish and speckled trout are the bread and butter around these parts. We've been seeing consistent action on both species lately. For reds, light tackle with artificial lures like paddle tails and jig heads are producing solid results. If you're going live bait, live minnows work fantastic for trout, and don't sleep on crab either—the reds absolutely crush it.

Check out Butler Beach about seven kilometers south of the main beach—it's shallow, clear water is ideal, and those point breaks along the shoreline are always loaded with feeding fish around slack tide. Also, Trestle Bay Swamp to the north is another killer spot, especially if you're hunting reds in that murky water.

The best approach today is getting out during that high tide around 10 AM when the water's moving hard and baitfish are getting pushed around. Work your artificials near any structure or drop-offs you can find.
