The bite has been good these past weeks and should continue to only get better here in the New Smyrna Beach area. We have been boating a mixed bag of redfish, trout , flounder and snook. They have been eating both artificials and live bait. It seems as though live finger mullet and mud minnows have been the got baits for redfish , trout and flounder where as the snook have been more focused on live shrimp. We still have some large groups throughout Mosquito Lagoon and have been chewing well on both shrimp and blue crab. As the weeks move forward toward the start of Spring I believe the bite will continue to be good.

The bite throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon continues to be good. We have been bringing a mixed bag of species boat side the last couple of weeks. From trout, redfish and snook to flounder, black drum and mangrove snapper. It seems as though the redfish and black drum are feeding better on the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon where as the trout and snook prefer the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach. All species have been feeding both on artificial and live bait. It looks as though we will be receiving another cold front this weekend bringing the temps back down into the 40’s at night. But it also looks as though it will be short lived and the 70’s will be right back.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It looks as though we are on a warming trend at least for the next week or so. The bite continues to be good throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. We have been targeting redfish, snook, black drum and trout this past week. As the week moves forward the water temps will increase and should only continue to keep producing a good bite. The choice of bait has been Live finger mullet, shrimp and cut bait along with soft plastics and twitch baits . It seems as though the majority of the fish have been holding among the bait pods. If you can find the pods of bait most likely there are some game fish in the mix of them.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite continues to be good throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. The good days have been all about timing. We are on our winter time pattern bringing fronts across Central FL every four to five days or so. The key has been to be on the water a couple days after the fronts move through making for the most stable weather and best bite. We have been boating trout, redfish, snook, black drum and the occasional flounder on both live bait and artificial. Live finger mullet and shrimp have been working well targeting redfish and trout in the pot holes . Soft plastics and twitch baits have been triggering a bite along deeper shorelines for snook and the occasional flounder. Look for the weather to stable toward the end of the week and the bite to continue to increase.
