New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoons Spring time pattern is ramping up . The bite has been solid this past week and as we enter Spring it will only continue. The redfish have been happy and tailing across the shallow grass flats of Mosquito Lagoons with the trout and black drum in the mix as well . The deeper backwaters of Daytona Beach and New Smyrna beach have been producing great numbers of snook , jacks , sheepshead and other game fish. The weather looks to be good moving into next week with possible afternoon showers which is the start to that Spring /Summer time pattern.

The weather in New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach has been a little up and down this past week , with highs near 90 then dipping back down in the high 50’s. I thought we were finished with Winter but obviously Mother Nature had other plans. The good thing is that this little cold blast had no effect on the bite . The redfish , trout , black drum and even the snook have been chewing well.
Mosquito Lagoon has been thriving with bait and great numbers of fish mixed in with the bait pods as the backwaters of New Smyrna have been producing some good shoreline bites. The weather looks to be back to normal moving into the weekend and the bite should only continue to be good. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It definitely seems as though we have skipped Spring and moved right into Summer , as the highs from Daytona Beach south will be in the high 80’s near 90 this week. With the higher temperatures the water temps will start to increase throughout the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters. With the warmer water temps the bait will start to move up on the shallow flats and look for the fish to follow.
The snook and trout should start to get more active especially around the shallow structure throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach. Look for the redfish and black drum tailing in the shallows of Mosquito Lagoon closer to the grass flats and in the grass. Shrimp has been the go to bait along with smaller artificial’s like soft plastics and spoons. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The New Smyrna Beach fishing has really been ramping up this past week. The cooler temperatures have seemed to have left and the fish are happy . Looking at the extended forecast there is a lot of chamber of commerce days ahead this week and these fish are moving into their Spring time patterns. The bait pods have started to move up on the shallows of Mosquito Lagoon and the fish have followed. The trout , redfish and black drum have all been found roaming the flats and backwaters of New Smyrna looking to chew . Further north into the Daytona Beach area the oyster beds have been thriving with life from trout and redfish to the occasional flounder. They have been receptive to both live bait and artificials making for a great time on the water.
