Indian River Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
Mosquito Creek Outdoors Indian River Lagoon Coast Fishing Report
By: Captain Tom Van Horn
Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season
I've got that squally feeling again. You know, it's the same feeling that draws us to the ocean's edge to witness Mother Nature's fury, strength and wonder first hand. It's the warm tropical wind in your face and the thick salt spray filling your lungs. The storm's fury is hard to describe, but its magnetic attraction also draws family, friends, and even strangers closer together compelling us to forget our mundane lives and focus on the think that are important, and teaches use not to take life for granted.
If you haven't heard, Summer Squall Fay has settled in on Florida, dumping over 20 inches of rain on the Indian River Lagoon Coast in three days, and at this moment driving tropical rains are pounding at my window, with as much as another 2 inched predicted today as she moves northwest across the state. The ditches and retention ponds are full, and the lagoon water levels have increased by at least a 2 feet, so it hard to say how the additional fresh water will effect fishing over the next few weeks.
In regards to fishing, between the boat show, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and Tropical Storm Fay, I haven't had a chance to fish all week, so I've included several other fishing reports for your entertainment. I did manage to find a few walking catfish wondering about enjoying the damp conditions.
As always, if you have any questions or need more information, please contact me.
Good luck and good fishing,
Captain Tom Van Horn
