Optimal surf fishing depends heavily on timing your trip with incoming or outgoing tides to increase catch chances.
Light to medium spinning tackles and durable corrosion-resistant reels are best for saltwater surf fishing.
Even evening sessions benefit from UV-blocking clothing and hats; lighting doesn’t eliminate sun exposure entirely.
Be mindful of protected dunes and native plants when accessing fishing spots along the beach.
St. Augustine, founded in 1565, is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States, blending rich cultural heritage with coastal recreation.
The academy promotes catch-and-release practices and encourages respect for protected dune habitats to preserve fragile coastal ecosystems.
Essential for casting into the surf and handling common Florida coastal fish species.
Helps reduce glare on water, improving visibility of fish and underwater structures.
Useful for cooler beach breezes during evening fishing sessions in fall.
