Summer Fishing Heating Up!
The inshore and backwater fishing from Daytona Beach south through New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon has been as hot as the weather! We've been landing some beautiful trout and redfish, with a few snook in the mix as well. We’re locked into the summertime pattern—hot days and afternoon showers expected throughout the week. The bite has been strong, and with the steady forecast ahead, we’re looking forward to more great action into next week! Bait of Choice: - Live bait: Pinfish, finger mullet, and shrimp - Artificial: Plugs, spoons, and soft plastics Targeting Tips: - Grass edges and bait pods have been producing well. - As the sun gets higher, we’re shifting our focus to tailing redfish in the shallows of Mosquito Lagoon and the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach. - These reds have been crawling through the grass and working along muddy shorelines - a great sight to see for any angler! If you're looking to get in on the action, now is a great time to book a trip! Capt. Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com

The weather here in New Smyrna Beach , Daytona Beach and South into Mosquito Lagoon has heated up but so has the fishing . There has been some scorchers this past week but that bite continues to only get stronger. The backwaters of New Smyrna Beach is thriving with bait and the grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon is the same . Look for the bait pods and the game fish will be there as well . Live bait has been working well like pin fish , mullet and shrimp . The early morning has been producing a good top water plug bite and as the sun gets higher switching over to a soft plastic or a spoon has been working well for artificial. It looks as though the extended forecast is showing summer is here to stay but no complaints here with the bite that we are having.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The recent weather conditions throughout the New Smyrna Beach , Daytona Beach and Mosquito Lagoon area has been a blessing. With highs in the mid 80’s and lows in the mid 60’s it has made for some cool mornings on the water. The fish have seemed to like this little abnormal late cool front as well with several trout and redfish coming boat side the last couple of days.
It looks as though this cool front will be short lived in the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon area as the mid 90’s will be back toward the end of the week . The bait is still plentiful from Daytona Beach south through the Lagoon and the pattern seems to be the same as you find the bait you will find the fish. Plugs and spoons have been working well early and then switching over to soft plastics as the sun gets up . The live bait of choice has been pinfish , mullet and shrimp . All three have been working well and with looks at the extended forecast the bite should continue to be good. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 |
