The bite has been good the last couple of weeks with a couple days in there where we had to work for it. With the same weather pattern continuing into next week I see it continuing to stay good. The water clarity in and around the New Smyrna Beach area has been great this past month. Both the beach and the backwaters of New Smyrna have been producing bites in and around the bait pods. Live bait and artificials have both been working well early in the mornings.
As the sun gets higher and the day gets hotter the bite has started to slow down. The bite in Mosquito Lagoon has also been good in the early mornings. The fish can found in the shallows early and then moving off the flats to deeper ledges as the day moves on. The same as the New Smyrna area , targeting bait pods with live or artificial baits has been the key. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394

We are coming off a full moon phase this past week and the bite has been good. We were starting early in the backwaters throughout the New Smyrna Beach area targeting trout and redfish in the shallows and as the day went on moving out to deeper water for snook and jacks.
We still have plenty of bait throughout the Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna Beach waters. Artificials have been working well early then moving to live bait as in shrimp, pin fish or mullet as the day gets warmer. We have had a little upwelling come in from offshore with cooler water temps which has seemed to push a lot of the tarpon around making them not in the eating mood. It looks as though moving into next week we may be getting back on our summer time track of Central Florida afternoon thunderstorms which will hopefully get them back in the routine of things.

Although temps have been hot it has not effected the fish as they have been chewing well. It has definitely been a morning bite throughout Mosquito Lagoon targeting trout and redfish in the shallows before the water heats up in the afternoon. The backwaters of New Smyrna Beach has been about the same as well with some of the deeper shorelines and creeks having a little cooler water temps. Artificials and live bait both have been working well for a variety of species like jacks,snook,redfish and trout. The weather forecast looks to be the same for the up coming week so I don’t see the bite slowing down.
