I am glad to see a light at the end of the tunnel with all the rain we have received this past week. The fish did not seem to be bothered but it did make for close calls with storms. It did however bring an influx of water to the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon area but seems to be residing as fast as it arrived.
The bite seems to be steady through the morning and then teetering off as the sun gets higher in the sky. The flats have had a lot of bait scattered with a mixture of fish holding in and around the bait pods. Live bait and artificials have been working well and by the looks of the five day forecast the weather should be holding stable for a while. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394

The summer time weather has been getting a little active this past week with a lot of thunderstorms through the New Smyrna Beach area. It looks as though we are starting to get into an afternoon storm kind of pattern making for a good evening cool down. But with all this extra rain fall it has increased the water levels throughout Mosquito Lagoon but seems to have not affected the the bite. We are still boating several different species from redfish , trout , snook and black drum just to mention a few. The artificial and live bait bite have both been good . Throwing plugs early before the sunrise has been causing strikes on the surface then moving to a subsurface or live bait later in the morning has been working well. The weather looks to be good this upcoming week and the bite should continue to stay steady.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The weather has been hot this past week and the fishing as well. We have been boating a variety of species like redfish, trout and snook . The bait continues to be holding in the back waters of New Smyrna Beach stretching south through Mosquito Lagoon.
Plugs and artificial have been working well early in the morning then moving to live bait as the sun gets higher in the sky. It seems as though we have set in on our summer time pattern with high temperatures in the mid day bringing in afternoon showers and thunderstorms. The weather looks to be about the same into next week hit with afternoon storms so the morning bite will be the best. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite is still holding strong throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. We have been continuing to good numbers of trout and redfish boat side along with the occasional snook that wants to cooperate . The bait pods have also been plentiful making for great targets early in the morning for a trout or redfish bite. As the sun gets higher the bait has been moving a little deeper and the fish have been following. Targeting the pot holes in the deeper water has been working well with both artificial and live baits. The extended forecast looks like we will be getting warmer weather along with the summer time afternoon showers.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 This past Memorial Day Weekend was definitely challenging with the massive influx of people on the water but it did not stop the fish from eating. We did get a little extra water pushed into the New Smyrna Beach backwaters with a strong NE wind for a few days. The winds have shifted back to the West Southwest and water levels are starting to get back to normal.
The bait continues to be plentiful throughout Mosquito Lagoon and the fish can still be found in and around the bait. Plugs have been working well early in the morning then moving to spoons, plastics and live bait as the sun gets higher. It looks like we have some afternoon storms moving into the area later in the week but hopefully will not be causing any issues for a morning session.
