Mosquito Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report

Weather has played a major roil in the productivity of the days. For the most
part we have been tossing shrimp at reds and trout on the flats in the Mosquito Lagoon. We have been fishing many schools of slot size reds that have been calm one day then spazz out the next. The schools of reds have had an enormous amount of pressure on them. Sometimes you can toss a shrimp in front of a hundred reds and get denied more than once. Some of the schools you may only have a couple of good shots at and they leave and others will take a pounding and keep coming back for more. What ever the schools attitude is that you fish try not to just keep driving them like a cutting horse. Let the fish swim there course and hold back a little and watch them, they will go back to their sweet spot. That is if you don‘t poll them into the next county. Hay how about this thought anchor up and fish them, get off that platform for a few minuets.
You can take other species such as flounder jacks and a drum in the river and sometimes on the flats. We have been catching all of these species on a regular bases. The black drum are eating shrimp and crabs, speaking of shrimp they have been running in Oak Hill. The jacks are eating 12 Fathom shad bodies. The flounder will eat shrimp and finger mullet on the flats, but we have been catching more on the 12 Fathom plastics. It will be windy all this week but good weather is just around the corner so book early the calendar is filling up.
