The bite from Daytona Beach south to Mosquito Lagoon including New Smyrna Beach has been firing on all cylinders this past week . We have had multiple days with slams along with some double digit days. With the lack of rain and shifting winds the water level throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon have been pretty low making navigation of some areas challenging. The flats and shorelines have been thriving with life from all the bait that has moved in . Water clarity has not been great in the northern Lagoon making sight fishing a little hard at times. The artificial bite has been good early morning and then moving to live bait after the sun gets up has been working best . It looks as though we will continue to have some toasty conditions into next week with the occasional afternoon storms to hopefully cool the water temps a bit.

We have definitely moved into our summer time pattern here in the New Smyrna Beach area with the summer time temps and afternoon showers. The bite has continued to be good throughout the waters of Daytona Beach south through Mosquito Lagoon as the backwaters and flats are holding a lot of bait fish . Look for the pods of bait fish and the game fish will not be far . The deeper waters around Daytona and New Smyrna have been producing some good bites as well from tarpon , snook and Jacks just to mention a few. Live bait has been working best but early morning artificial can produce a bite as well . Looks as though the weather pattern will be holding into next week with afternoon showers.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The New Smyrna Beach waters have been very active this past week with some great fishing . The weather has been good and making for some great catching of several species like snook , redfish , trout and black drum . The shallow waters of Mosquito Lagoon have been just as good allowing for a wide range of fishing this past week . It looks as though we are starting to get into our summer time pattern as the temperatures start to heat up and bring the afternoon storms . As the water temperature begin to rise look for the bite to be a little better early and later evening. Live bait has been working well but they can be caught on artificial as well plugs and spoons have been doing the trick.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Summer has arrived in New Smyrna Beach with some hotter weather and even hotter fishing. We have been bringing several species boat side this past week like snook, redfish and trout to mention a few. The afternoon storms have started to make an appearance this past week and should continue through the weekend. We have been targeting the structure up north in the New Smyrna Beach backwaters for snook , trout and jacks. Moving south into Mosquito Lagoon we have been focusing on the shallow grass flats with bait. The redfish and trout have been mixed in with the bait pods. Live bait and artificials have both been working well to create a bite.
