Mosquito Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
This may has started off a little on the strange side with a couple of cold fronts moving through
along with about four days of hard rain to top it off. Before all the crazy weather the fish seemed be moving into their
summer time pattern but now they have been thrown for a loop with a large amount of water in the Lagoon system.
I am still finding good numbers of red fish just not balled up tight look in the areas that have recently not had water or
very little and you should do pretty well. I have been catching them on top water,Aqua Dream spoons and Bass Assassin
soft plastics along with live and cut bait. We have also had great numbers of trout being caught in the four to six pound range
with some in the ten and eleven pound ranges to. Most of the trout may be a little shy in weight now due to them spawning earlier in the month
but there are still some nice ones out there to be caught. A top water,twitch bait,or soft plastic will do the job and you can never go wrong
with a live finger mullet. Speaking of mullet look for the large schools hanging around the bars and drop offs and that is where you
will find your trout. I have also had some reports of some nice snook being caught in the Edgewater and New Smyrna Bch area
which is great news considering the freeze we had a few years back hurt them pretty bad.
Good Luck and be Safe.
