Mosquito Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
The start to spring is in full effect in the northern lagoon with the water warming and the influx of bait scattered across the flats. With the amount of mullet that are in the lagoon system the trout have moved in with them along with the jacks. Throwing top water plugs to the large schools of finger mullet can produce strikes from both of these predators. Don't forget about the red fish they can also be found mixed in with the larger row mullet feeding on what they stir up off the bottom. These fish can be targeted using a variety of baits this time of year, from soft plastics to top water but my go to bait is a aqua dream spoon. If live bait is your choice of presentation then live shrimp,cut bait,pin fish,or live finger mullet will work not only the red fish but all three species. As the water keeps warming keep your eyes open for the silver king to start moving in. The large groups of tarpon should be reaching us in early may but some times smaller pods show up early. Look for these fish to be rolling around bridges and inlet areas as the larger pods appear they will be following the bait up the beach's. Good luck and be safe.
