The weather has been a little touch and go here in the New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach area with a lurking storm system moving up our coast. But the good news is that the storm system is moving north and the fishing is back to normal throughout the backwaters.

We continue to have great numbers of bait pods throughout the New Smyrna Beach waters south into Mosquito Lagoon and the fish are all in the mix of them . Look for the bait to be high up on the bars and flats with trout, snook and redfish in the mix.

Plugs ,spoons and soft plastics have been working well casting to early morning tailers as the cut bait , live finger mullet and pinfish have also been a go to as well. It looks as those weather wise things are getting back to normal for the up coming week which means those fish will be back to chewing.

The bite throughout the Daytona Beach , New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters continues to be good . We are still see a good number of bait pods both north in the New Smyrna Beach area along with the shallow grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon. The bait of choice has been a variety of baits from artificial like soft plastics , spoons and plugs to live shrimp, pinfish and finger mullet. We have had a break from the afternoon storms this week but looks like we could be getting some scattered showers toward the end of the week.

As we are starting to move into Fall here in the Central Florida area the the mornings are a little cooler and the bait has definitely started to show up . We have had an influx of mullet schools from Daytona Beach into the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and throughout Mosquito Lagoon. The water has started to cool a bit and the fish are on the hunt.

Look for snook and tarpon holding around the structure and bait pods though out the Intracoastal in the New Smyrna Beach waters. Live bait and artificials have both been working well . We continue to have a good bite on redfish and trout across the Mosquito Lagoon.

Targeting the schools of bait that have been located up on the shallow grass flats has been the key. Plugs and soft plastics have been working along with live finger mullet and pinfish for live bait. The weather finally looks like it is starting to dry out a little bit with this a little rain in the forecast for the next week.

We still have not received a break from the rain here in the New Smyrna Beach area. The water level has risen quite a bit between the recent full moon and afternoon storms giving the fish new feeding opportunities.

The fish are still there to be caught they have just moved up a little with the water level looking for a new food source. The bait is still in full swing both in the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and also into Mosquito Lagoon.

Finding the bait has been the key as the bait has followed the water up on to shallow bars and flats the fish have followed the bait. Plugs and spoons have been working well as great search baits along with mullet and pinfish as well. The weather looks to continue into the weekend with showers daily and then slowing down into next week.

The recent weather patterns across Central Florida have brought challenging conditions to New Smyrna Beach fishing charters and Mosquito Lagoon guided trips. Strong easterly winds and heavy rainfall have impacted Daytona Beach fishing conditions this past week. The persistent easterly push from the Atlantic Ocean has driven additional water into Mosquito Lagoon, creating higher than normal water levels that have temporarily displaced fish from their typical holding areas.

However, experienced New Smyrna Beach fishing guides know that as this weather system moves out, Central Florida fishing conditions will return to normal fall patterns. Inshore fishing enthusiasts booking Mosquito Lagoon charters should note that fish are still actively feeding but have spread out due to elevated water conditions. The key to successful shallow water fishing remains locating baitfish concentrations.

Prime fishing locations currently producing results include the grass flats throughout Mosquito Lagoon, oyster bars and structure in New Smyrna Beach waters, and shallow water areas where baitfish are holding. The fundamental rule for successful inshore fishing charters continues to hold true: find the bait, find the fish. Current bait concentrations are positioned around Mosquito Lagoon grass flats offering excellent sight fishing opportunities, oyster bars and shallow structure throughout the New Smyrna Beach area, and protected shorelines where baitfish seek refuge from recent weather.

Weather conditions are expected to stabilize toward week's end, creating ideal opportunities for guided fishing trips and private fishing charters. Reduced wind and minimal precipitation will allow for better shallow water fishing conditions, improved sight fishing visibility, and fish returning to predictable fall fishing patterns.
