The lack of rain and shifting winds from the south has brought a little dirty water into the north end of Mosquito Lagoon and the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach . The fish are still there and seem to be mixed in with the pods of bait that are scattered over the shallow grass flats of the Lagoon and oyster flats to the north. It looks as though this upcoming week is calling for afternoon showers in the New Smyrna Beach area stretching south through Mosquito Lagoon into Titusville.
The change in wind direction with the approaching afternoon storms should move a lot of the dirty water out bringing in cleaner water. They have been chewing both artificials and live bait this past week . Plugs , soft plastics and spoons have all been producing bites along with live finger mullet , shrimp and cut bait . It looks as though we are getting into our summer time pattern with the weatherman calling for afternoon storms the rest of the week into next week.

Summer's Early Arrival: Bait Migration Triggers Multi-Species Explosion in New Smyrna Waters5/1/2025 I believe summer is definitely upon us here in central Florida as the days get earlier and last longer. The weather has definitely started to warm and with the warmer weather comes warmer water temperatures throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. The warmer water temps have started to push bait up on the shallow grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon enticing game fish like trout and redfish to follow.
Further north into the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach the deeper shorelines and oyster bars seem to be alive with several species from snook , black drum , jacks ,trout and redfish to mention a few. Live bait and artificials have been working well both shallow and in the deeper water as well. It looks as the weather will be holding steady for the upcoming week with possible showers mid next week. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 |
