Mosquito Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
It seems as though summer has arrived it's almost like spring never showed up this year. Well with that being said the water temps have
risen into the low 70'S and the bait has started to show up in large numbers through out the Lagoon. The redfish and trout bite has been great
with not only quanity being caught but also quality. There is still large schools of redfish through out the lagoon system as the water is warming look for
them to move up on the shallow grass flats. I have been catching them on many different baits from Aqua Dream spoons to Bass Assassin soft plastics. For
live bait finger mullet, pin fish,and shrimp have all been a go to bait. The trout bite has also been really good with numbers of 3lb to 7lb fish being caught. If artifical
is you choice of weapon then top water plugs thrown along the grass edges is a good choice for the larger trout nothing beats a live finger mullet free lined in the bait pods.
I have started to see some schools of jacks moving in the northern lagoon which always make for a fun fight I like to throw spoons and twitch baits and also a top water
for a nice explosion.
Good Luck and be safe.
