The recent cold fronts that have swept across New Smyrna Beach have really brought the water temps down. Both the air temps and water temperatures are now starting to rise bringing our game fish back to a happier mood. The trout and snook disappeared for a few days due to water temperatures moving into deeper water but have now started to show back up. The redfish and black drum can still be found holding on the flats in the pot holes and on the mud flats. Small baits have been the trick to get the bites. Shrimp , cut bait or small artificials worked slowly have done well. It looks like we have some warmer days ahead so hopefully it warms the water a tad bit more.

With the recent back to back cold fronts hitting the New Smyrna Beach area has brought some much needed cooler water temperatures. The cooler water conditions have started to clean up the water clarity throughout the Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna backwaters. The shift in winds has helped to lower the water levels pushing the fish into little groups and pods. Long cast and patience’s are a must with the cleaner low water as the fish are a little on edge. Slow retrieves on small artificial’s will work along with live shrimp and cut bait. This is the time of year when slower is better due to cooler water temps. It looks like the air temps will be increasing over the next few days until another predicted front to hit our area later in the week. Happy Holidays to everyone!
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite continues to be good here in the New Smyrna Beach area. With the recent weather change it has helped with eliminating the excess water we have had and looks to be cleaning it up a little as well.
We have been boating redfish, snook, trout and flounder throughout the backwaters and into Mosquito Lagoon. The water clarity is still not that great in the Lagoon but seems to be getting better with each day. The water temps have been cooling down quite a bit so slow retrieves on artificials and smaller live baits have been working well. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It seems as though we are starting to get our winter time weather. The recent cold fronts that have hit the New Smyrna Beach area has also brought a change in wind direction pushing a lot of this unwanted water out. With water levels and temps dropping look for the fish to find warmer water in the sand holes and mud flats. Live bait and cut bait has been producing a little bit better bite then artificial with the recent weather changes. Hopefully the water clarity will improve throughout the Mosquito Lagoon with these cooler water temperatures.
