Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to paddle a canoe through the everglades? Read about some of my misadventures here- johnkumiski.com/the-everglades. I'm looking for feedback and have a couple of free books for the best comments.
The fishing this week won't go down as memorable.
Monday I took a kayak trip out of River Breeze. The was a major water event- when I got to the boat ramp the water was up nearly a foot. That never bodes well for kayak fishing.
It was overcast with some breze from the south. I saw eight redfish and had one cast at one that had already detected me.
Redfish are spooking off kayaks now, something that never used to happen. They're getting even more spooky, even harder to catch.
Tuesday I went for a walk in the rain along the Florida Trail with my new Nikon Coolpix waterproof camera. I learned it only takes 12 pictures without a memory card. It worked well, even better once the card got here.
Thursday Dave Zupek and his friend Ron joined me for a day's fishing on the Mosquito Lagoon. The forecast high was 64. The actual high was 59. The wind was north at 20. We saw only six or seven fish all day, had only one bite. We missed it.
Dave asked me why I didn't have any photos of days like that on my website. I'm putting some in this report.
It was pretty darned cold out there.
Friday Dr. George Yarko joined me for a day's fishing, also on Mosquito Lagoon. We launched the skiff at River Breeze. Steam came off the water like it always does when it's cold out.
We found some fish, not a load, but enough we should have caught some. They would not allow us to get into casting range.
We had maybe four decent shots all morning. George got one red, out of the slot, the only bite we had.
And that is this week's exciting version of the Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report.
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short. Go Fishing!
