As we approach March it seems as though the weather is starting to figure out that we are coming up on Spring . The extended forecast for the up coming week looks good to be put on the water. The fish have been chewing well , even after this little front that has just passed. The backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach have been holding great numbers of redfish , trout and snook .
The water clarity throughout Mosquito Lagoon has been at a ten making for some great sight fishing over the shallow grass flats. They have been receptive to several different baits like shrimp , mullet , cut bait along with artificials. Spring is approaching and if it stays on track it should be a good one!

So just when we thought that Spring had arrived here in Central Florida ole Winter had to make another appearance. We had a small front dip down over the weekend bringing wind , rain and cooler temperatures across Daytona Beach , New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. It kinda throw the fish for a little loop as they were starting to get settled into a spring time pattern . But after figuring out that temperature and wind direction are changing they have got right back into the groove of things.
Look for the red fish and trout throughout the sand holes and deeper sloughs of mosquito Lagoon and back waters of New Smyrna. The snook have been hanging in the deeper water in and around structure. We also have a large number of black drum working the shallows on the mud and sand bottom. The baits of choice have been shrimp , mullet and cut bait along with soft plastics and spoons. It looks as though we have another cold front moving in mid week so I believe this pattern will stay in place for a while. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 As we continue with some beautiful weather again this week the fish still continue to chew well. The weather here in the New Smyrna Beach area has been great with highs in the low 80’s and calm winds.
We still continue to have some winter time low water conditions throughout Mosquito Lagoon and surrounding waters. With the lower water look for the redfish and trout to be holding in the deeper pot holes and sloughs. The black drum have been holding in the shallow flats looking for an easy meal like a shrimp or crab. The snook are starting to thaw out and chew a bit . They have been holding tight on the shorelines and around structure. It looks as though this weather is going to hold steady until the beginning of the week as we are expecting a small front to dip south into Florida. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It seems almost as though winter has completely stopped and Spring is here in Central Florida. Although I believe we still have some more winter weather coming before it’s all said and done . The fish in the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon are definitely enjoying the Spring time conditions . The redfish and black drum have gathered up in good numbers roaming the shallow mud flats and sand holes looking for a meal.
The trout can be found holding in the sloughs and sand holes as well. The snook are still holding in the deeper water along shorelines and structure. Shrimp , mud minnows, cut bait and live mullet have all been working well . Looking at the forecast it seems as though we could be enjoying this weather pattern for another week . |
