We have been getting some blast of colder weather her in New Smyrna Beach this past week. The weather has not effected the bite though it has actually helped it. With the shifting winds the water has lowered a bit forcing the trout and redfish into small pods throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach. The same goes for the waters of Mosquito Lagoon as well with small pods of fish finding their way into the pot holes for warmth. They can be taken on both live bait and artificial but a slow presentation will be best in the waters from New Smyrna Beach south through Mosquito Lagoon.

This past week we had a shift in winds changing to the south / southwest causing a increase in water throughout the New Smyrna Beach waters. With the higher and warmer water conditions it made for a little bit more difficult bite in Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna Beach area. It seems as though Mother Nature likes to keep us on our toes here in Central FL by sending us a little cold snap. We will be dealing with some windy conditions and cool temperatures the next few days in the New Smyrna Beach area. After this front moves through and the winds subside the water levels in Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna Beach area should lower allowing the fishing to get back to normal. Look for the redfish and trout to be holding in the sand holes through out Mosquito Lagoon. Slow presentations will be key whether it’s artificial or natural baits. Good luck and stay warm!
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It looks like Mother Nature is playing games with all of in Central FL. The weather temperature has been outstanding this past week with highs in the eighties. The fishing in New Smyrna Beach has been good with a steady redfish and trout bite. The water clarity in the New Smyrna Beach area has also continued to stay clean making for some good sight fishing. Mosquito Lagoon has also had a good bite with redfish, trout and black drum this past week. With the increased winds this past week Mosquito Lagoon has dirtier water conditions in certain areas . I have found the leeward side of the islands throughout Mosquito Lagoon have been producing the cleaner water.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 We have had a lot of rain and wind this past week making for some dirtier water throughout Mosquito Lagoon. With the higher and dirtier water a lot of focus has been spent around the New Smyrna Beach area targeting structure like oyster beds and shorelines . The couple of days that the wind did lay down made for some good top water and soft plastic mornings in Mosquito Lagoon. It looks like we getting a small cold front this week lowering the air temps in New Smyrna Beach into the 40’s. The water temps in Mosquito Lagoon should drop as well forcing the redfish and trout into the pot holes. Hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!
