Seasonal Activity Chart

Sailfish
Ponte Vedra Beach is within striking distance of some excellent sailfish waters. The key to success here is targeting the Gulf Stream, which brings warm water and baitfish that sailfish love. Peak season typically runs from late fall through winter when cold fronts push sailfish closer to shore. Trolling natural baits like ballyhoo is a standard tactic, but don't be afraid to experiment with artificial lures. Focus on areas with significant temperature breaks or current edges. A practical tip for fishing out of Ponte Vedra is to monitor the sea surface temperature charts closely; even a small change can concentrate the fish. Many local charters depart from nearby ports like St. Augustine, offering experienced captains who know the best spots and techniques. Remember to practice proper catch-and-release techniques to help conserve this prized gamefish.
