Mosquito Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report

The weather has been excellent here in Central East Fl with highs in the mid seventies and lows in the upper fifties and the fishing
has not been to bad also with many double digit days. The Redfish have been in schools from five to hundred in some locations through out the
the Lagoon and munching fairly well. I have been locating the majority of fish in the sand holes and holding on the shallow mud flats gathering
the warmth from the bottom. I have been catching them on all kinds of different baits from Aqua Dream Spoons to Bassassasin shads and for
live bait shrimp has been the go to bait. The Trout bite has been very good as well I have been targeting them in the sand holes early and then
moving to the shallow grass flats as the sun gets a little higher. I have been catching some nice Trout on jerk baits and other soft plastics but
for the larger Gators free lineling a live finger mullet is the way to go. The Flounder and Sheephead bite has also been good in the Edgewater
and New Smyrna area I have found the best way to target both species at once is bounceing a live shrimp on a jig head slowly along the bottom.

Good Luck and be safe !
