Some Good News Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

Some Good News Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

The water in the Mosquito Lagoon has dropped. I'm not sure that it's any clearer, but in many places you can see the bottom, and thus the fish. Since this is good news, we have the Good News Mosquito Lagoon fishing report.

Monday Dr. Michael Sweeney joined me for some Mosquito Lagoon fishing, with both fly and spin. After launching the boat at River Breeze we found some tailing fish at the first place we looked. Tailing redfish! Not a lot of them, to be sure, but tailers nonetheless.

They may have been tailing but they were not suicidal. We did not get a bite.

We checked several other spots where we saw nothing at all. The last spot we checked, however, had redfish cruising the bank, blasting minnows now and again. The fish were not easy to see, but they were there. We hooked one on a DOA CAL shad, which eventually shook the hook. We ended up fishless.

Tuesday morning found me at JB's Fish Camp where I picked up Al and Adam Winnicky, father and son who now both live in New Smyrna. We went to the tailing spot from the previous day. Curses! Two boats there already.

We went to the last spot from the previous day. We did not see a fish, did not get a bite. Time to punt.

I went down into the Mosquito Lagoon to check a place I had not visited in quite a long time. Wow, there's a fish! Adam made a pinpoint cast with the DOA CAL shad and BANG! the fish struck. We ended up spending the rest of the day there, seeing redfish cruising with some regularity. We did not make a killing, but got two more reds on mullet chunks. We had quite an entertaining ride running back to JB's into a north wind somewhere between 15 and 20 knots.

I was able to sight fish two consecutive days, certainly good news from the Mosquito Lagoon.

Thursday's forecast caused me to bag fishing. I went out to the MINWR and shot photos instead. Got a few decent ones.

And that is this week's Good News Mosquito Lagoon fishing report from the Spotted Tail.

Life is great and I love my work!

Life is short- Go Fishing!
