The Mosquito Lagoon fishing has not disappointed this past week with some great bites on several species. The weather has been a little weird with wind and cold then back to warm but the fish have adjusted well . The extended forecast going into next week looks pretty stable and should only secure the bite throughout the waters of New Smyrna Beach . The redfish , black drum and trout have been hanging in and around the bait pods in the shallows . As for the snook they have been lingering around structure in the deeper waters and shorelines . We have had a fairly good shrimp run this past week which has made these fish more for us on a live shrimp or a shrimp pattern artificial. Spoons and live finger mullet have been working as well.

The New Smyrna Beach fishing has been good this past week even with the weird weather the last few days. The fish are definitely starting to set into their winter time patterns with the trout finding the sand holes shallow in the Mosquito Lagoon and deeper ledges further north throughout Edgewater and New Smyrna Beach.
The redfish and black drum can be found cruising the shallow sand and mud bottoms looking for an easy meal as the snook have focused more on the deeper shorelines. We have had a pretty good shrimp run this past week and it seems as though these fish are really focused on either live shrimp or an artificial in a shrimp pattern. It looks as though we will be on a warming trend through Christmas which may move these fish a little depending on how warm the water gets , we will have to see. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 We have had a great week of fishing New Smyrna Beach waters and with this cooler weather coming in this week should be just as good. The redfish and black drum have been working between the sand holes throughout Mosquito Lagoon in search of shrimp and crabs.
The trout and snook have started to move toward a little deeper water mixing in with the bait pods . As the water continues to cool the deeper pockets will be where they can be found. We have had a good shrimp run this past week so they have really been focused on the shrimp but the live finger mullet have been working well also . I’m sure artificial’s in a shrimp pattern and mullet pattern would work as well . It looks as though we are going to have some chilly nights this week so we will have to see how much it will cool the water temps. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Fishing in New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon continues to be good with several different species coming boat side . The bait is still spread out over the oyster bars in Daytona Beach and moving southward across the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon.
The redfish and trout can be found mixed throughout the bait pods looking for an easy meal. The black drum have really started to make an appearance milling around on the shallow mud and sand bottoms. The snook have also been active along the deeper shorelines looking to ambush an easy meal. Artificials have been working well in the shallows but live bait has been a more consistent choice. The weather looks to be stable for the up coming week so the bite should continue to be strong. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 |
