Mosquito Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon lately has been awesome, trout, redfish, black drum and a flounder here and there. Trout season just opened January 1st, and we have been catching our share.We have been bouncing Gulp shrimp rigged on 1/4 oz jigs. New Penny and Natural seem to be the color of choice. The key is to work your Gulp bait slow on the bottom. If you work it to fast you will not get the bites you should.
The reds have been happy on the flats with waving tails on the major feeds. They were bunched up tight last week and then the water warmed up a tad and spread the field a little. The reds have been pushing up nicely along the edges of the flats on the rising tide. Fish them slow and don’t push them because that will only tighten their lips. Gulp chartreuse pepper sinking minnow and Johnson spoons have been working well. We have been taking a few flounder (up to six pounds) as well in the mix.
The Ponce jetties have been giving up some flounder as well. Sheepshead and a few black drum are also being caught on the rocks. Small crabs and shrimp should do the trick.
Remember, Think like a fish to catch fish!
