St. Augustine Surf Fishing or by Charter: A Lifetime Experience

St. Augustine Florida is quickly becoming a favorite vacation destination for tourists worldwide. Aside from its Spanish architecture and natural beauty, fishing along its 43 miles of pristine beaches, on one of its piers, or by one of the many daily charters, offers sporting enthusiasts an opportunity to catch a myriad of species. While known for its timeless beauty, St. Augustine offers many fishermen the opportunity to enjoy a couple of outings in the hopes of catching the big one.

Perhaps the cheapest available option, is to enjoy early morning, and early evening fishing along St. Augustine’s pristine beaches. Surf fishing is immensely popular in Florida, and the beaches of this beautiful and quaint city, offer vacationers an opportunity to fish without overcrowding. Essential to surf fishing is to make sure to have enough weight on the line to keep the line secure against the surf. Bait shops offer a number of baits, including shrimp, squid, mackerel, and halibut. Shrimp makes the best bait, but is often difficult to keep on the hook against the crashing surf.
