The bite has been really good this past week with cooler and lower water conditions throughout the back waters of New Smyrna Beach. With the abnormal warmer weather moving in this week it will change things up a little bit the forecast is showing the weather getting back to normal by mid week. The warmer conditions puts our fish in mosquito lagoon into a different pattern instead of grouping them up they will actually split up and spread out making for a little harder bite. With the upcoming weather conditions look for the winds to shift and lower the water conditions and bringing the fish back into pods. Look for them to be extremely shallow and ready to eat after the front moves through. Artificials and live bait have been working well when presented slowly.

The fishing here in New Smyrna Beach continues to be good with the recent stable weather. It seems as though we are getting into our winter time pattern of cooler nights and warm days. This allows our fish to get adjusted to some consistent water temps instead a roller coaster of temperatures. The bait still seems to be plentiful throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. This is the time of year that I’m constantly telling my clients that slower and smaller is better. Small baits presented slowly will get you a bite a lot faster then the average spring and summer time retrieve.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It finally seems as though the weather has started to become stable . With stable weather upon us the bite has increased as the water temperatures have also increased. The water clarity looks to getting better through out the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters. Look for redfish, trout and black drum to be holding on the shallow mud flats gathering warmth throughout the day. Live bait and cut bait have been a good choice to create a bite. Live bait including shrimp, mullet and mud minnows for cut bait both mullet and lady fish have been working well. It looks like the weather will continue to warm as the week moves on making for more active fish as the water temps warm.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 We have had a whirl wind of weather the past couple of weeks here in the New Smyrna Beach area. It seems as though the recent change in wind direction has push quite a bit of water out. The cooler water temperatures and lower water conditions are making for some steady sight fishing. There has been a good number of redfish and trout holding over the shallow bottom throughout the day along with black drum and some snook holding in the deeper water. Live bait and artificials have been working well when presented slowly. Look for the fishing to continue to get better as the weather starts to stable.
