    With the Holidays in full swing and the weather cooling down it’s definitely the time for a charter fishing trip in New Smyrna Beach waters. The water levels have finally lowered back to normal and the fish seem to be staging in there Fall weather routines. The bait pods are spread across the shallow grass of Mosquito Lagoon and the trout and the redfish mixed in with them. The black drum can be found milling around on the shallow mud and sand bottoms pushing shrimp and crabs out for a meal. With another cold front on the horizon it will just continue to secure these fish into their Fall patterns throughout the Daytona Beach and Mosquito Lagoon backwaters.

After this recent cold front last week that dipped down south of Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach bringing the first cold blast of the year the water conditions have changed. The shifting winds has lowered water levels throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon . Along with lower water levels has also brought cooler water temperatures pushing these fish into their winter time patterns.
Look for your redfish, trout and black drum to be holding over the shallow mud flats and sand holes as the snook will be looking for the deeper shorelines and ledges. Live bait and artificials are still working equally as well. We look to have this warming trend into next week and then calling for another article blast.

It looks as though he’s going to be here for a few days and then the warmer temperatures should be coming back . This cold snap does fire these fish back up and should be chewing well after this front passes . The sight fishing in Mosquito Lagoon will also be good with the cooler temps cleaning the water clarity and sending fish into the sand holes. Live bait and artificials will work equally well it just depends on your choice of weapons.

This weather looks like it will be short lived as they are calling for a cold front to slip in early next week. The bite throughout the backwaters including Mosquito Lagoon has been good with several double digit days coming boatside . Look for the bait on the shallow flats and bars and the fish will be close. Finger mullet , pinfish , soft plastics and spoons have all been working well . As the front sits in next week it will only make the bite that much better.
