Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Freshwater in Saint Augustine area?

Hello all!
In October I'll be spending some tijme in the Saint Augustine, Florida area. I do plan to fish the pier and maybe even a charter for Red Snapper, Grouper, etc. What are my Freshwater possibilities for fishing. Largemouth come to mind first, but open to species. Don't care anything about visiting the "Gay Lake" that someone else posted about. I would have to fish from the bank but would consider a guide. Any suggestions on a place to fish or a guide in the area?
Thanks for the help, Rick

I think snapper is closed in Oct. start at avid angler bait store they will be a good place to start 904 824-8322 on the salt side . there are a lot of places to bank fish in saltwater. I don't fish fresh much . inshore saltwater is pretty good in Oct.

Thanks 44! Gives me a place to start. I didn't realize there was a Snapper season. I guess maybe Grouper and others. I want to bring some filets home.
