Need Outboard Repair? Service? Parts? Do it now!

Don’t wait to get your repairs and service done in the midst of the busy season; avoid tariff price hikes, delivery delays, and long turnaround times with a phone call to our service department today. Save yourself from worrying about parts and labor cost during this ‘cool off’ time – right before the summer busy season. 

Tariffs imposed by other countries in response to those set by the US government are set to take effect over the next few weeks, with a brief reprieve in which those who are savvy can get their maintenance and repair work done while it is still generally unaffected.

The marine industry is greatly impacted by changes in trading regulations and tariffs.

A 10 percent baseline tariff is set to be imposed on all imported goods, regardless of origin, with higher rates on specific countries that fluctuate as each side continues to make adjustments while allowing for negotiation.

The summer has always been a rough time for getting repair work done if your engine just happens to decide it doesn’t want to take that fishing trip or make that vacation a reality.

With changes in the economy and tariffs, this is bound to complicate the season. We always recommend scheduling regular maintenance during the off seasons and keeping up with that schedule to ensure there are no surprises out on the water.

If you are the owner of a boat with an outboard engine or boats and multiple rigs, then you will definitely feel the impact of this alleged trade war, whether you notice it with in-store price increases when purchasing and ordering parts and marine supplies, or see it when you receive your service invoice.

St. Augustine Marina has made no official announcements or changes regarding our own pricing, as we are all just waiting to see what ultimately comes from these changes.

This is why now, more than ever, we encourage you to take advantage of our knowledgeable and experienced techs in our service department. We specialize in Yamaha® and Evinrude-Johnson® parts and service, with certified technicians available for both manufacturers.

Contact us or give us a call with your make, model, year / serial number, and what issues you are experiencing to get estimates and related parts costs /details.

Do you have a question for our staff or would you like to know the cost of a specific service or part? Giving us a call is the best way to get our attention and a guarranteed response, but if you prefer, you can always send us an email.

Fishing The Winter Season in Northeast Florida – Tackle & Bait Recommendations

Fishing The Winter Season in Northeast Florida – Tackle & Bait Recommendations

Offshore fishing, bait, tackle, lures, jigs, repair, rod repair, st. augustine

Fishing In The Northeast Florida Region During Winter

Wahoo is the main target fish in December for this part of the Atlantic, but you’re likely to catch more than just wahoo on your fishing trip, even with the recent weather fluctuations affecting tournaments and charters. Sheepshead are another prized fish for those casting off a charter and Sheepshead can be delectable when properly cooked and prepared – fresh, of course.

If you’re looking to land a Wahoo or Sheepshead in spite of the weather, you may still be in luck. Our Offshore Fishing Room has tackle, lures, rods, reels, line to facilitate your trolling session offshore. For frozen bait, look for frozen mullet. Fiddler crabs can also make for live bait in a pinch if you can find them. Walk through any of the creeks and wetlands near the intercoastal and off Anastasia Island or Crescent Beach and you will find these critters scampering around the shoreline en masse.

While deep sea fishing is most popular during this season, that doesn’t mean that you won’t catch anything worth its weight nearshore, inshore, or off the coast – even those fishing off the Vilano Beach pier can expect to pull Redfish and Bluefish, which are in excellent supply this time of year.

If you’re looking for real time information on what is biting off the coast and offshore, click here and bookmark this page for continuous real time updates on target fish of the season and weather.

Florida Sportsman Recommendations

Florida Sportsman writer and avid angler, Captain Roger Bump, frequently discusses seasonal fishing and local fishing tactics, weather, insights, and locations – even stopping by to interview locals and the staff of St. Augustine Marina back in May.

His forecast for the season focuses on the weather patterns that have ultimately caused some issues for those that have booked charters in hopes to land their own biggest catch of the season. Even tournament participants have been affected by the cooler waters and choppy surface waves.

He advises those in search of Wahoo and Sheepshead to look for charters that focus on the areas where the warmer waters of the Gulf meet the cooler waters of the Atlantic, near wrecks and inlets where they can be found grouped together. 

If you want to land one of these energetic species, you will need stamina and to perservere through thrashing and jumps. Make sure you arrive to your charter or go out on your own watercraft prepared for the day. St. Augustine Marina staff are knowledgable and are happy to help match you with the perfect rig while also rigging and setting up your fishing kit in store.

If you haven’t gone offshore before, stick around and don’t hesitate to ask questions. For those of you experienced fishing offshore or that have been out on many charters, we perform rigging, lure repair, and rod and reel repair services in store so that you can get back on the water as quickly as possible. 

Not only that, but our winter sales are in full swing with discounted items across all departments. If you aren’t sure what to grab, gift certificates are always available in every denomination.

Introducing The Quiet Kat Off Road Electric Bike

St Augustine Marina is thrilled to offer the Quiet Kat all-terrain electric bike and we can’t imagine another vehicle perfect for navigating the historic coastal byway, zipping down the sidewalks and side streets of downtown, and cruising the beach when you aren’t taking this fat tire e-bike off road in the country.

If it surprises you that we carry a few of these at all times, it shouldn’t. Quiet Kat is known for dependable, off-road electric bikes with all the features you would want for your next hunting and fishing trip. We also carry accessories and parts to maintain your QuietKat and other electric bike modes if you have already made your purchase.

Electric bikes are obviously not for everyone. They do not have fuel capacity like a dirt bike. Instead, the battery is charged by pedaling the bike. The more you pedal, the more downtime you can have on a single charge.

In addition to the model shown here, St. Augustine Marina has access to the full catalogue of QuietKat fat tire e-bikes, parts, accessories, and models. We will be more than happy to get you set up with the perfect fat tire e-bike for your purposes, confidence, and budget the next time you stop by our store. Ask one of our staff to assist you with a viewing of what is currently available in the back.

Features and Benefits

QuietKat redefines outdoor adventures with its umatched lifetime frame warranty,  impressive battery capacity, and robust motor designed to conquer even the steepest inclines with ease and minimal effort.

Proudly crafted in the USA in Irvine, California, the QuietKat outshines traditional dirt bikes and ATVs by offering greater versatility and a friendlier price point. Its lightweight aluminum frame design ensures that anyone can ride it comfortably—if you can pedal a bike, you can master an electric bike.

If you’ve been eyeing an off-road vehicle to traverse your preferred hunting spots, ranges, and game trails, your search ends here.

With attractive financing options available, you can start your journey now and pay later.  Come in our store with your pre-approval and we will get you squared away!

In addition to what we mentioned before, electric bikes don’t require DMV registration in the state of Florida nor special licensing, making them accessible to anyone aged 16 and older.

For younger riders, we offer covered wagon attachments and trailers at St. Augustine Marina for family adventures with an adult behind the wheel. As fishing and boating season winds down and autumn and winter hunting seasons approach in northeast Florida, consider the benefits of exploring rugged terrain on an electric bike equipped with off-road tires and a GPS navigation system that tracks distance and battery life, ensuring you have everything you need to reach your destination—perhaps just an added light for those nighttime excursions.

Did we mention they offer a 15 day trial period for new purchases?

Everything You Need & Need to Know - Shrimp Season 2024

Other Options For Catching Shrimp

If you’re new to throwing a cast net, don’t worry—there are plenty of alternatives you can explore, and you might even have a dip net ready to go.

If you own a boat, this can be a great option. After anchoring in a prime spot, set up a lantern, spotlight, or other light source at the bow, and wait for the telltale reflection of the shrimp’s eyes signaling the perfect moment to dip your net and catch them as they drift downstream.

You can also consider push nets attached to a pole for dredging the bottom while wading, haul or beach seines that are less than 500 feet long, and frame nets with openings not exceeding 16 feet. While traps require more regulation, they can be quite effective, especially when enhanced with bits of cheap processed meat or even dog / cat food. 

Additionally, using poles to bait shrimp is an option, but be sure to check FWC regulations regarding the number you can deploy and the necessary markings for compliance.

Keep in mind that the rules around nets and traps vary, and obtaining a saltwater recreational license is essential for enjoying the season.

Shrimp season lasts from the end of June and through the beginning of November in St. John’s County. (Check FWC requirements and  regulations here.)

If you are looking to catch your fill of these delicious, abundant, crustaceans St. Augustine Marina has everything you need to catch your fill – from our wide selection of high quality cast nets to traps and frozen bait, combine these items with our recommendations as to where and when you can expect a great catch and we’re the last stop before a delicious home cooked meal no matter how you serve them!

Where and When

Shrimp are more active at night and particularly respond to the full moon. You will want to plan your shrimping trip based on your preferred method of catch and

The locals tend to have the best luck recrationally shrimping on the St. John’s River, particularly under or near the Shands Bridge or the nearby pier, but shrimp can be located downstream on the St. John’s River at virtually any point.

Looking to learn how to throw a cast net? There are many videos on Youtube and the web in general that can teach you step by step, but you may even get the opportunity to learn by watching others throughout the season. Perhaps even make a new friend or two on your shrimping adventures!
