    St. Augustine Fishing Report: Rising Tides, Active Fish, and Hot Spots

    Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing guru, comin' at ya with the morning report for February 18th. Water's risin' nice today—low tide hit around 2 AM at -0.4 feet, high comin' up at 8:27 AM pushin' 4.9 feet per Surfline charts, then droppin' to another low mid-afternoon. Tidal coefficient's low at 42, so currents are mellow, perfect for targetin' the shallows without gettin' swept away. Sunrise was at 7:02 AM, sunset 'round 6:20 PM, givin' us a solid 11+ hours of light. Weather's classic winter Florida—cooler temps in the 50s to low 60s, light breeze off the ocean keepin' it comfy for all-day fishin'. Fish are active with that cooler water stirrin' 'em up; recent reports from Sisters Creek show slot reds, trout, and ringtails hittin' steady, plus sheepshead and flounder in the mix. NOAA tides back this with steady highs around 4-5 feet drawin' reds and trout to the flats. Best bets: live shrimp on a fish finder rig for reds and trout, or jig heads with soft plastics like Little John tails for aggressive strikes. Artificials? Go paddle tails in white or chartreuse, or DOA shrimp imitations—trout and snook can't resist 'em on the incoming tide. Hit these hot spots: Vilano Beach ICWW for reds tailin' in the grass, and St. Augustine Pier for Spanish macks and blues slingin' close to shore. Fish the outgoing after high for best action.
