The bite continues to be good throughout the New Smyrna Beach waters. We have had a couple trying days with very unstable weather with winds and rain but it still did not stop us from catching. We have been boating several different species from snook, redfish and trout to flounder and mangrove snapper. The water conditions are still a bit high but has been steadily dropping everyday. The clarity is good considering the amount of freshwater that has been introduced in the past month.
The fish have moved further up in the shallows and up on the shorelines looking for new food opportunities. The bait continues to be located throughout the flats of Mosquito Lagoon and the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach . Live shrimp and finger mullet have been working well along with artificials as well. The weather looks to be good for the up coming week which should only make the bite get better. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394

The bite this past week was good to say the least. My clients were mostly targeting redfish and managed to jump a couple of tarpon in the mix. Unfortunately Hurricane Nicole decided to pay a visit to Florida and bringing in strong wind and water to the Central FL coast. The intracoastal in New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach area did swell quite a bit but will flush back out just as fast as it arrived. Until the higher water levels disappear look for the fish to be in areas that usually are not accessible for them for new food sources. Spoons and plugs work well under high water conditions as you can cover a lot of water with them.

We have been bringing several different species boat side from redfish and trout to snook and jacks. The water levels are continuing to drop post Hurricane Ian. The water clarity is also continuing to get better day by day as well. Look for the pods of bait working the shallows and running the shorelines in backwaters of New Smyrna Beach. The fish can be found mixed in and around these bait pods. Live finger mullet and shrimp along with plugs and soft plastics have been working well. It looks like the weather will continue to be stable into next week allowing these fish to get back to there patterns.
