The bite has continued to be good in the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters. We have had a little hiccup this week with a tropical storm skirting the coast of Florida but it never phased the bite. Look for the early morning to be the most productive. Trout and redfish can be found on the shallow bars and shoals throughout Mosquito Lagoon mixed in with the bait early in the mornings. As the sun gets up and starts to warm the waters they will move off the edges to deeper cooler water. They have been receptive to a variety of artificials and live bait as well. The tarpon have been all over the backwaters of New Smyrna along with the snook,trout and redfish as well. Just like the Lagoon look for the bite to be better early and then  move to the deeper water later in the day. The baits of choice have been several from mullet, pin fish and shrimp to name a few along with several artificials like hard baits and soft plastics.

We have definitely entered our summer time pattern here in New Smyrna Beach with hot summer days and afternoon showers. The bite has been good early and tapering off as the day moves on. We have been boating a mixed bag of species from trout, redfish and jacks to snook and the occasional tarpon. Mosquito Lagoon has been holding a lot of bait over the past couple of weeks which has produced a good trout bite. Further north in the New Smyrna Beach area we have had a good redfish , snook and jack bite. Focus on the structure on a out going tide. Both artificials and live bait have been working well  to create a bite.

The fishing continues to be good throughout the New Smyrna Beach waters. This is such a great time of year to fish East Central Florida with all the species we currently have inshore makes for great opportunities.  The trout bite has been great in Mosquito Lagoon along with the redfish. We have also been boating some nice snook, jacks and  airing the occasional tarpon in the New Smyrna Beach backwaters. The bite has been slowing down by mid morning with the heat of the day shutting it down . Plugs and top waters early and switching to a spoon after the sun is up has been a good choice. Live bait from shrimp to mullet has been a good choice as well. We still have a lot of bait scattered through out the backwaters and the bite should continue stay good.

The fishing here in New Smyrna Beach has been hot as the weather. We have been having several double digit days this past week with a mixed bag of species. The trout bite has been steady throughout Mosquito Lagoon  along with the redfish as well. We have also had several schools of jacks cruising the shallows of the lagoon as well. Look for the bait holding on the flats either up north around New Smyrna or down south in the lagoon and you will find the fish. Start out early with plugs and surface baits then moving to spoons and soft plastics later in the day. The bite has definitely started to slack off a little bit as the afternoon approaches and I believe a lot has to do with water temps so get out early.

The bite continues to be good throughout the New Smyrna Beach area. We have been bringing several species boat side from redfish and trout to snook and jacks. The bait still continues to be in large numbers across Mosquito Lagoon. Targeting the bait pods early has been the trick and then moving out to the deeper water as the day warms up has been a good choice as well. Live bait and artificial’s both have been working well and now that the holiday weekend has past the boat traffic should continue to slow down as well.

The fishing still continues to be good throughout the New Smyrna Beach area. We have been bringing several different species boat side this week from trout and redfish to snook and jacks. We still have large schools of bait in and around Mosquito Lagoon along with bait pods off the beach as well. The bite has been good early and then tapering off as the day goes on. Target the bars and flats early then as the sun gets a little higher move to the ledges and drop offs. With all the people coming to New Smyrna Beach this weekend be careful both on and off the water.

New Smyrna Beach fishing has been on fire this past month and will only continue to be good. We have had a consistent trout and redfish bite  south through Mosquito Lagoon. The weather has been extremely hot but with the early morning breeze it has been making for a steady bite. Look for the large amount bait throughout the New Smyrna Beach backwaters.

Top waters and spoons have been working well around the oysters  and mud flats along with the grass flats further south. Live bait has also been a good choice like pin fish and mullet. There has been a good number of tarpon and jacks scattered throughout New Smyrna as well and willing to eat.

The bite has been good the last couple of weeks from Daytona Beach south through New Smyrna Beach and into Mosquito Lagoon. The backwaters and flats have been flooded with bait and all the game fish have been right there with them. Early morning top water has been productive on the shallow flats and north around the oyster beds. The water clarity seems to still be good making for good sight fishing as the sun gets higher. Pitching soft plastics and spoons have been working well but you can’t go wrong with a live shrimp or finger mullet as well.

The weather in New Smyrna Beach has been a little crazy the past few days with storms to heat and humidity. Now on that note though the bite has also been hot as well, not just in New Smyrna Beach but also north into Daytona Beach and south through out Mosquito Lagoon. We have been bringing several trout and redfish boat side along with some snook, flounder and jacks in the mix. If artificial bait is your choice of poison then a early start targeting bait pods on the flats of the lagoon or around oyster beds further north into Daytona. Top water plugs have been working well early then switching to spoons and soft plastics later. I have not forgot about you live bait guys. Finger mullet and medium shrimp have been working really good around the structure up north and on the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon.

The bite has been really good the past couple of weeks. A good number of snook have made their way into the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach along with jacks and tarpon as well. We have also had a great bite further south through out Mosquito Lagoon targeting redfish on shallow shorelines and nice trout across the flats. Both live bait and artificial have been working well . Throwing plugs up north in the New Smyrna Beach area around the oyster bars has been creating a great bite early. Moving to a spoon later in the day has also worked out great. If fishing south in Mosquito Lagoon look for the pods of bait and work around them with the same baits. It looks like we could be seeing some unstable weather in the next few days so definitely keep a eye on the forecast.
