It looks as though the weather is on a warming trend over the next week or so throughout the Central FL area. The bite has continued to be good this past week and I look for it to continue through the up coming weeks. Look for the redfish, trout, snook and black drum around the oyster beds in the backwaters of the New Smyrna Beach area.If heading further south into Mosquito Lagoon look on the edges of the flats and in the pot holes for lingering trout and redfish. Artificials have been not working the best this past week but live shrimp and finger mullet have been doing the trick.

The cooler arctic blast continued through this past week making for some cold and windy days on the water. It definitely made it a little more challenging but we still prevailed on bringing fish boat side. Hopefully we are on a upswing of weather in the up coming weeks here in the New Smyrna Beach area . We have had some good numbers of redfish, trout and black drum throughout Mosquito Lagoon and surrounding waters. They have not been real receptive to artificial but the live bait bite has been good. Do to some cooler water temps they are a little sluggish so patience’s is the kill to seal the deal on the bite.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite has been pretty good here in the Central FL area. We have definitely had some up and down weather over the past couple of weeks sometimes making it challenging. The water levels throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon have started to lower after a few days of shifting winds. The water temps are still pretty chilly and with highs in the fifties and sixties this week they will probably continue to be. The redfish , black drum and trout have been chewing well, the snook on the other hand are still looking for a heated blanket. Shrimp and finger mullet have been the go to baits lately but smaller soft plastics and spoons have also been doing the trick.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The weather has seemed to settle down a bit this week getting back into the 70’s during the day. The water temps are going to take a little while to get back to normal making for some lethargic fish for a few days. Patience and slower presentations will be the key for the next week or so. Shrimp and small soft plastics have been working well early and later in the day moving to a spoon or cut bait as the water starts to warm. Look for the bite to only get better as the week moves on. The water clarity is making for some great sight fishing for drum, redfish , trout and even snook. Lighter leader material will help out greater for those spookier fish in the shallows on a extremely clear day.
