The bite continues to be strong this past week and with the approaching cold front this week it will only get better. The bait continues to be located on the flats and backwaters of New Smyrna Beach which has made a great location for the trout and redfish to hang out.
The sight fishing has also been good throughout Mosquito Lagoon in between the windy days this past week. Shrimp have been working well for sight fishing black drum along with the redfish as well. Cut bait and mullet has also been doing the trick along with artificials like plugs, spoons and soft plastics. Once again after this upcoming front this week the bite should only get better.

The weather that we had recently received here in the Central Florida area was a lot of water . With the extreme amount of water brought flooding a lot with higher water conditions throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. Even though we have higher than normal water conditions at the moment it has not effected the bite.
The redfish and trout have been chewing well on both artificial and bait. With the higher water brings new feeding opportunities for the fish so look in the areas that they usually can not reach . It looks as though the weather will be stable for the upcoming week making for a good bite. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 As we move into Fall the fish are starting to change their patterns a bit. Look for them holding in the sand holes and mud bottoms early then moving up on the shallow grass as the day starts to warm. We continue to have a good number of bait throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon.
Artificials have been working well along with cut bait and live finger mullet. It looks as though we will continue to have warmer stable weather over the next week with a possible front moving in later next week. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Looks as though we are getting started on our winter time weather pattern. We have received our first cool front bringing strong winds and cooler temperatures with it. As these fronts start to frequent the area the fish will start to go into their winter time patterns as well. Usually the day off and one to two days after the front the wind blows pretty good and lays down making for some great conditions until the next passing front. As the water temps start to lower the fish tend to get really active making for a great bite.
The redfish , trout and snook have all been chewing well on both artificial and live bait. Looking for the schools of bait has been the trick. Here lately the fish have been mixed in with the bait . It looks like the windy conditions will start to subside by the end of the weekend making for some great fishing conditions. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The weather has been a little crazy here in Central FL from hot to cool to calm and to windy all with in a week and a half. It has not effected the bite just how to catch them and where to find them. Plugs, spoons and live finger mullet have been working well.
We currently have an influx of water throughout the New Smyrna Beach backwaters and Mosquito Lagoon area which has the fish more spread out. This is where the plugs and spoons work great for a search bait as well as the finger mullet. It looks like we will be getting a cool front coming in over the weekend which will shift the winds again. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite throughout the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters has been good this past week both before and after our cool front. We continue to have a good number of bait holding on the flats and the backwaters making for easy meals for our game fish.
Spoons , plugs and soft plastics have all been working well along with finger mullet and shrimp for live bait. It looks like we are on a warming trend heading into the latter part of the week which will continue to increase the bite. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 We have had a little change in the weather over the past few days with some cooler dryer air moving in. With this cooler dryer air has brought a North / Northeast wind that has continued to raise the water levels in the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon area. The fish are still around and continue to be mixed in with the bait, the only difference is with the influx of water they have spread out a bit. With the fish spread out a bit covering water has been the key to get bit.
Targeting windward shorelines covered in bait has been working well and they have been receptive to both live and artificial baits. It looks like we have a little rain in our future and some returning warmer weather over the next week so enjoy the cool down while it’s here. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 We have had some strange weather for the past week making it difficult to fish with wind , rain and high water but it has not stopped us from catching. I said it was difficult not impossible, we have had to run around a little bit trying to stay dry and then getting the wind to our backs looking for the pods of bait pushed up on the flats was where the majority of the fish were found. We were catching both redfish and trout holding in and around the bait pods throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. The water has become higher due to the NE winds over this past week allowing these fish some new feeding opportunities so definitely look in places that usually has little to no water that is holding bait. It looks as though this weather system will be settling down by the end of the week which will make a good bite only better.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It seemed as the Fall weather gave us a little tease here in Central FL this past week with some lows in the 60’s. Unfortunately that was short lived and we are back into high 70’s at night and 90’s in the day . The good news is that this weather has not effected our bite in the New Smyrna Beach area at all. We still continue to have plenty of bait scattered throughout the backwaters and into Mosquito Lagoon.
With all the bait comes our game fish like trout , redfish and snook looking for easy meals . Targeting the bait pods with live bait or artificial has been working well and producing an array of different species. The weather looks to be back on the afternoon shower pattern so early morning will probably be best to get a line wet. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It looks as though we are getting a little mild cooling front this week and I’m not complaining. Let’s not get crazy though when I say cooling its down to 91 degrees instead of 98 but I’ll take it. The bite continues ti be strong throughout the New Smyrna Beach waters and south into Mosquito Lagoon. The bait is sill pouring onto the flats and into the intracoastal making for easy feeding for several species.
The redfish and trout have been mixed in with the bait pods up on the flats where as the jacks and snook have been holding a little deeper around the structure. The tarpon can still be found off the beach and throughout the intracoastal mixed in and around the bait pods as well. It looks like we will continue to have our afternoon showers for the rest of the week so early starts are recommended not only for the cooler water temps but also not to get wet .
