So far this March weather has been a little unstable from frontal lines dipping down to wind and rain but it has not stopped the bite. The fish have been adapting well throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach . Whichever direction the wind is pushing the bait the fish have not been far behind. Live shrimp , finger mullet and cut bait have all been working well along with soft plastics and plugs early.
The redfish, trout, snook and black drum have been staying pretty hungry. It looks as though we may get another late season front move through but I believe this will probably be our last one for the year. We all know what comes next summer and that Florida heat.

Just when you think Spring has arrived and the fish start to get into their Spring time pattern Mother Nature says not yet with a little winter blast of cool air. These late season fronts usually do not stick around long enough to effect the patterns of these Mosquito Lagoon fish. Look for the fish holding on the deeper edges and shorelines early then moving to the shallow flats and sand holes as the sun gets higher.
We still have good amount of bait spread out from New Smyrna Beach south into Mosquito Lagoon and as the week moves on and gets warmer that bait will move to the shallows . The bite has been good on live finger mullet , cut bait and shrimp along with soft plastics , plugs and spoons. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The weather has definitely made a turn for the better this past week and looks to be sticking around through this week as well. With the warmer temperatures hitting us here in the Central Florida area it has really turned the fish on . The water has warmed up a bit pushing the bait up on the shallow flats and making the game fish follow.
The trout and redfish have been hanging along the edges of the shallow grass flats where as the black drum can be found in the larger sand holes throughout Mosquito Lagoon. We still have a large number of blue fish throughout the waters of New Smyrna Beach along with some snook that are starting to play. The bite has been good overall and with stable weather for a while it looks like it could continue for a little bit. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It’s starting to look like winter is in the past and Spring has arrived here in Central Florida. The weather has definitely been quite nice with temperatures in the 70’s I could ask for just a tad less wind but we can’t get spoiled. The waters in and around New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon have been streaming with life. We have been catching trout, redfish, snook and black drum to mention a few.
The bait can still be found throughout the waters and the fish have worked their way out of the depths back onto the flats . Plugs, soft plastics and spoons have been working well for artificial’s as shrimp, mud minnows and live mullet have been the key for live bait. The weather looks nice for the upcoming week which should definitely have the fish fired up. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 |
