This recent cold front moving through Central FL has fired these fish up again. We have definitely got some cooler temperatures this week along with a shift in the wind direction lowering the water levels though out New Smyrna beach and Mosquito Lagoon.
With the lower cooler water look for the fish to be holding in the sand holes and on top the dark mud. Smaller baits like soft plastics , spoons , shrimp and finger mullet have been working well. This weather pattern looks to be here into the weekend making for some good fishing. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394

It looks like we have light at the end of our crazy weather tunnel this week. We will be getting on a warm trend throughout Central FL starting this week which will continue to make these fish active. The water clarity has been great throughout Mosquito Lagoon making for some great sight fishing.
The snook and trout are still holding in the deeper water with the cooler water temps but the black drum and redfish can be found milling up in the shallows. Shrimp , cut bait and live finger mullet have been working well but spoons and soft plastics have been getting ate too. I’m looking forward to a little warmer days and a continued great bite. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 We have had a little crazy weather pattern to start the new year and looks like it could continue into next week. Even with the crazy weather the fish have not stopped chewing as a matter of fact they have been very happy. The bait of choice has been live shrimp but cut bait and mullet have been working as well. Spoons and soft plastics will also trigger a bite but just need a slower then usual retrieval.
The water clarity throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito lagoon has been great and will only continue to be through winter. Look for the fish to be in and around the bait pods either on the shallow flats or deeper holes. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The fish have definitely got into their winter time patterns with the recent cold fronts that have hit Central Florida over the past week. The water temps have dropped especially in the shallow water of Mosquito Lagoon forcing the fish into the pot holes and onto the mud flats looking for warmth.
This is one of my favorite times to fish with numbers of fish condensed in the holes and shallows and clear water to see them makes for a great day. They have been chewing well on mullet, cut bait , shrimp and artificials. It looks like we have another front moving in on us later this week so the bite should only continue to be strong .
