May2018 New Smyrna Backcountry Mosquito Lagoon Daytona Bch Area

Capt. Michael Savedow
May 31, 2018
New Smyrna Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report

Summer is knocking at the door here on the North Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon Florida, water temps approaching 80'F, mullet and baitfish schools here for the summer, big variety of different saltwater fish species to be caught here in the backwaters. Through the summer we will be catching Seatrout, Redfish, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish and always other surprise fish too. Summer patterns can be mostly scattered fish in the warm water with fish in ambush point locations, creek mouths and points with a good tidal current flow, and shadowing baitfish schools, and bait and crabs riding the tide along moving water channels. Fun surface striking fish are great for summer sight fishing activity, with open water fish like Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish and even Tarpon, but Trout and Redfish will also come to the top. Summer baits include live shrimp, pigfish, pinfish, and finger mullet, for artificials , early morning top waters, 3" shad tail jigs and twitch baits. Morning trips are the summer norm, early feeding fish and a little cooler than the heat of mid day. Ed from Astor, Florida out with a couple friends on a recent backcountry trip caught all the usual different species as well as this over slot 28" Redfish on a live shrimp and light tackle……………..

Spotted Seatrout are one of our main summer target species, usually hungry on summer mornings taking live baits and artificial lures, average size "Specks" are schooling fish, with larger Seatrout usually more solitary fish, we catch them on the edge of drop offs as well as shallow water flats near bait fish schools.
