We get these questions a lot. What fish are running in St. Augustine? What is the best bait for St. Augustine? Is the fishing allowed on St. Augustine Beach? Well, In St. Augustine, a variety of fish species are in abundance, including Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and Tarpon, depending on the season. The best bait often depends on the targeted species, with live shrimp, mullet, and finger mullet being popular choices.
