Mosquito Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
Not much to report on the Mosquito Lagoon as I have not fished it in some time. I took a two week vacation to Stuart where we fished for tarpon and snook, kingfish and little tunny. Upon returning, I fished the Indian River and caught several tarpon and tons of seatrout. The trout along with ladyfish, can be found around the spoil islands under the glass minnows. A DOA deadly combo or a free lines DOA shrimp is effective for both. The Indian River also produced a nice redfish for Matt B., from Iowa.
The creeks along the southern Indian River around Melbourne are all holding tarpon from 10-60 pounds. We have been jumping fish on DOA shrimp and Baitbusters.
The nearshore action has also been hot. Today, I fished two brothers from Texas. We launched at Port Canaveral and fished the beaches landing seven kingfish, a little tunny, several sharks, and a cuda. All fish were caught in 35-40 feet of water trolling live pogies.
Sight fish with light tackle and fly in the world famous Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River. Located along Florida's Space coast just one hour from Orlando. Year round fishing for redfish and seatrout.
