Mosquito Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
It seems the April showers have came a month or so late this year we have received a influx of rain this past week. With the amount of rain the water levels in the lagoon system has risen opening the door for new feeding opportunities
on flats that had no or little water before. Look for he Red Fish tailing in the shallow grass early in the morning mixed in with the mullet schools. The Trout bite has been good through out the day if you find the schools of mullet you will find the Trout
they also have been mixed in with the bait pods early in the morning and as the day moves on the the trout are moving to deeper water. look on the edges of flats , bars and points that are holding bait later in the day they have been
eating a variety of baits from top water plugs early to soft plastics under a popping cork later in the day. Most of my Red Fish have been caught on Aqua Dream spoons and a Aqua Dream jig head rigged with a shrimp color soft plastic.
There has been some Tarpon sightings from New Smyrna south through the Lagoon and also off the beaches if we could catch a break in the wind it would be a good time to run near shore to look for the larger pods along with some King fish mixed in the
bait as well. This is definitely the time of year when everything is hanging around and looking to feed on something just remember you can't catch them if the boats not in the water.
Good luck and be safe!
