It looks like the short time of dryer air has came to a halt as the forecast is calling for afternoon showers for the rest of the week. The fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna Beach still continues to be good with the redfish , trout , snook and jacks all chewing well. The bait has definitely moved inshore and has been plentiful throughout the flats. Live finger mullet , pinfish and shrimp have been working well along with plugs early then moving to spoons and soft plastics.

August has been a hot one both weather and bite in the Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna Beach. We are starting to get an influx of mullet moving off the beach and inshore which has been setting off some good bites. The fish have been in and around the bait pods. Look for the bait on the shallow flats early then moving to to the deeper water and intracoastal later in the morning.
The redfish, trout, jacks and snook have all been taking advantage of the mullet pods . So live finger mullet have been working well along with shrimp and pin fish. The artificial bite on top water, twitch baits and spoons have been working as well. The weather looks to be good moving into next week so the bite should continue.

The bite has been really good this past week but with the influx of wind and rain over the past few days I’m sure the fish are going to ready to chew with stirred up new food sources. Look for the redfish and trout to be hanging on the shallow grass flats mixed in with the bait fish.
The snook and jacks have been working the deeper points and shorelines looking for an easy meal. A variety of live bait has been working well , like finger mullet, pin fish and select shrimp. Any of these in an artificial will work as well. The weather forecast looks to show a calming as this storm continues to move north away from FL so everything should be back to normal by the weeks end.
