The spring time bite seems to be really firing up here in the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters . The shrimp have been making a pretty good run this past week which has been firing up the trout and snook along the shorelines . The redfish and black drum are still milling around on the shallow grass and sand bottoms of Mosqutio Lagoon. This little recent cool front has been pleasant with highs The low 80’s . The weather continues to look good going into the weekend throughout the Central Fl area.

It seems as though the start to April is starting out a little bumpy with some adverse weather conditions throughout the Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach coast . We had a few nice days to start with clear skies and a little breeze making for some great sight fishing and catching in the Mosquito Lagoon waters . The redfish and trout have been working the shallow grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon focusing on shrimp , pinfish and mullet.
The snook and jacks have been holding in the deeper waters in and around New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach . Focusing on structure and bait the jacks and snook have been raging havoc on shrimp and bait pods. Unfortunately we have had a low pressure move in on top of the whole state bringing rain and wind forage few days but should be moving on its way by mid week making for some great weather and fishing later in the week into the weekend. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 New Smyrna Beach has had some great chamber of commerce days this past week with clear skies and plenty of sun. The fish have definitely liked the weather as well with several different species coming boat side this past week . As we start to move forward into Spring the fishing will only continue to e good.
The redfish , trout and black drum have all been working the potholes and grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon . Live bait and artificials have both been working well as live shrimp has been the go to. The Intracoastal and backwaters of New Smyrna Beach has also been producing a great bite with snook, redfish , jacks and trout all coming boat side . Shrimp and live finger mullet have been doing the trick while focusing on the deeper shorelines and oyster beds holding bait. The weather looks to be good for the up coming week as it seems that Spring is in full swing. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 |
