New Smyrna Beach had received a little taste of some Summer weather this past week and I will say it got toasty. The fish did not seem to mind the hotter temps as the bite has still continued to be strong throughout the waters of Daytona Beach south to Mosquito Lagoon. The bait has also started to make an appearance with good numbers of mullet on the flats and throughout the bays of New Smyrna Beach. The redfish , trout , black drum and snook have all been chewing well . Shrimp , cut bait and pinfish have been working well along with soft plastics , plugs and spoons for artificial’s . The weather looks to be stable and warm moving into the weekend so the bite should only continue to increase.

The recent weather throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon has been a blessing this past week but the summer heat up is upon us . With the summer heat comes a heat up in fishing action as well and I can already see the fish preparing for their summer time patterns. The bite has been good from the Intracoastal of Daytona Beach with great numbers of jacks , trout and other species mixed in with the bait pods chewing well . Then as you move south into the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon the redfish , black drum and trout have been fired up as well . The weather looks to be on a warming trend moving into next week and securing the already good bite.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Sprung time in the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach is the place to be . The fish have been happy with several different species coming boat side this past week along with a few slams as well . Mosquito Lagoon has been producing some great sight fishing for both black drum and redfish when the weather decides to cooperate. The creeks and the flats are showing great signs of life with bait fish and where’s there’s bait fish you will find game fish. I thought we were finished with the cold fronts for the year but it seems as though there may be one dipping down late this week early next week . With that being said the weather looks pretty good through Saturday and the fish are definitely chewing.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The spring time bite seems to be really firing up here in the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters . The shrimp have been making a pretty good run this past week which has been firing up the trout and snook along the shorelines . The redfish and black drum are still milling around on the shallow grass and sand bottoms of Mosqutio Lagoon. This little recent cool front has been pleasant with highs The low 80’s . The weather continues to look good going into the weekend throughout the Central Fl area.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It seems as though the start to April is starting out a little bumpy with some adverse weather conditions throughout the Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach coast . We had a few nice days to start with clear skies and a little breeze making for some great sight fishing and catching in the Mosquito Lagoon waters . The redfish and trout have been working the shallow grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon focusing on shrimp , pinfish and mullet.
The snook and jacks have been holding in the deeper waters in and around New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach . Focusing on structure and bait the jacks and snook have been raging havoc on shrimp and bait pods. Unfortunately we have had a low pressure move in on top of the whole state bringing rain and wind forage few days but should be moving on its way by mid week making for some great weather and fishing later in the week into the weekend. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 New Smyrna Beach has had some great chamber of commerce days this past week with clear skies and plenty of sun. The fish have definitely liked the weather as well with several different species coming boat side this past week . As we start to move forward into Spring the fishing will only continue to e good.
The redfish , trout and black drum have all been working the potholes and grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon . Live bait and artificials have both been working well as live shrimp has been the go to. The Intracoastal and backwaters of New Smyrna Beach has also been producing a great bite with snook, redfish , jacks and trout all coming boat side . Shrimp and live finger mullet have been doing the trick while focusing on the deeper shorelines and oyster beds holding bait. The weather looks to be good for the up coming week as it seems that Spring is in full swing. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoons Spring time pattern is ramping up . The bite has been solid this past week and as we enter Spring it will only continue. The redfish have been happy and tailing across the shallow grass flats of Mosquito Lagoons with the trout and black drum in the mix as well . The deeper backwaters of Daytona Beach and New Smyrna beach have been producing great numbers of snook , jacks , sheepshead and other game fish. The weather looks to be good moving into next week with possible afternoon showers which is the start to that Spring /Summer time pattern.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The weather in New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach has been a little up and down this past week , with highs near 90 then dipping back down in the high 50’s. I thought we were finished with Winter but obviously Mother Nature had other plans. The good thing is that this little cold blast had no effect on the bite . The redfish , trout , black drum and even the snook have been chewing well.
Mosquito Lagoon has been thriving with bait and great numbers of fish mixed in with the bait pods as the backwaters of New Smyrna have been producing some good shoreline bites. The weather looks to be back to normal moving into the weekend and the bite should only continue to be good. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It definitely seems as though we have skipped Spring and moved right into Summer , as the highs from Daytona Beach south will be in the high 80’s near 90 this week. With the higher temperatures the water temps will start to increase throughout the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters. With the warmer water temps the bait will start to move up on the shallow flats and look for the fish to follow.
The snook and trout should start to get more active especially around the shallow structure throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach. Look for the redfish and black drum tailing in the shallows of Mosquito Lagoon closer to the grass flats and in the grass. Shrimp has been the go to bait along with smaller artificial’s like soft plastics and spoons. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The New Smyrna Beach fishing has really been ramping up this past week. The cooler temperatures have seemed to have left and the fish are happy . Looking at the extended forecast there is a lot of chamber of commerce days ahead this week and these fish are moving into their Spring time patterns. The bait pods have started to move up on the shallows of Mosquito Lagoon and the fish have followed. The trout , redfish and black drum have all been found roaming the flats and backwaters of New Smyrna looking to chew . Further north into the Daytona Beach area the oyster beds have been thriving with life from trout and redfish to the occasional flounder. They have been receptive to both live bait and artificials making for a great time on the water.
