It seems as though Mother Nature just keeps sending us some weather like a gift that just keeps giving. The fishing has been holding strong through all these fronts and if you get out a couple days after the front on the low winds and warm up the bite is even better. With the north and north west winds it has emptied a lot of the water making for some great sight fishing on both black drum and redfish .
The water is a bit cool so the trout and snook seem to have hunkered down in some deeper holes and troughs but still chewing as the sun gets higher. The extended forecast is looking like another front on the horizon with a higher rain chance into the weekend. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394

The bite has changed a little bit over the last couple of days . We have some pretty cool water temperatures here in the New Smyrna Beach waters especially in the shallow water of Mosquito Lagoon. These cooler temperatures do affect some species and not so much to others like redfish and black drum. The trout and snook definitely do not like the cooler temperatures and seem to be hanging in much deeper water waiting on the water to warm just a bit before becoming active again. The great thing about our waters here in Central FL is that they are extremely shallow for the most part so with a couple of bright sunny warmer days the trout and snook will be right back to chewing like the redfish and black drum are now. It looks as though we are going to have a few days of cooler temperatures and will be back on the rise after this front passes. The water clarity has been great making for some great sight fishing to larger pods of redfish and black drum in shallow water.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It’s hard to believe that we are now in 2025 , but with being said the 2024 fishing year was very good and I expect the same for this year. This past week has been a continuation of weird weather with warmer conditions, rain , wind and cloudy. It has made it quite difficult to sight fish especially in the open waters of Mosquito Lagoon so we have been focusing on points and bars up in and around New Smyrna Beach area.
The bait choice has been a variety of things from shrimp , cut bait , finger mullet , spoons and soft plastics. The forecast for the up coming week shows a lot of sunshine with a pretty big cool down into next week which should continue to keep these fish firing. Happy New Year to everyone! Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394    The inconsistent weather continues here in Central Florida with cool temperatures and wind to clouds and rain. But even with some crazy weather lately the bite still continues to be good. We have been boating several species on each trip like trout, redfish and snook just to mention a few. The water clarity is great and when weather allows is making for some great sight fishing from New Smyrna Beach south throughout Mosquito Lagoon. It looks as though we are going to get a little warmer weather heading our way into next week and then another possible cool down afterwards.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Despite the recent low-pressure system pushing up from the Caribbean bringing windy, wet conditions, the bite has stayed strong in our local waters. The fish don't seem fazed at all – we're consistently landing an impressive variety including speckled trout, redfish, snook, and black drum.
The action's been fantastic with both artificial lures and live bait presentations. Whether you're casting shrimp or finger mullet, the fish are responding. With favorable weather forecasted through Christmas week, we're expecting even better fishing ahead!

Look for the redfish, trout and black drum to holding in and around the sand holes and mud bottoms . Smaller baits and slower action has worked well with the crystal clear low water conditions we currently have. Small artificial’s like soft plastics and spoons have been working well along with cut bait and shrimp . It looks as though we have another cold front moving into the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon area by the the end of the week which will secure them in their winter time pattern.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The recent cold fronts have triggered prime winter fishing conditions across Central Florida waters. Water temperatures have dropped significantly, pushing fish into predictable winter patterns and creating excellent sight-fishing opportunities.
Speckled trout, redfish, and black drum are transitioning from grass flats to sand and mud bottoms in search of warmer water. Snook, particularly sensitive to temperature changes, have moved to deeper holes and channels where they find thermal refuge. This concentration of fish makes for exciting target-rich environments. Winter Tactics:
Weather outlook shows stable conditions through the weekend, with another cooling trend expected next week. Book your winter fishing adventure today! Capt. Patrick Rood Spot N Tail Charters (386) 566-1394 spotntailcharters.com After our recent cold fronts here in the Central Florida area the fish have started getting into their Fall patterns. Look for the trout , redfish and black drum to be holding over the sand and/or mud bottoms . These bottoms hold the warmth from the sun much better then the grass providing them with the water temps they like.
We still have bait throughout the area but they to have moved into a fall time pattern as well. The bait can be found in numbers in the deeper water edges and holes not so much in the shallows as the water is a bit warmer in the deeper holes as well. The bite has been good on both artificials and live bait and with the water clarity the sight fishing has been outstanding. It looks as though we will have another front moving in to secure these habits coming into the weekend. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Then water level has been this past week due to some easterly winds and full moon tide swing. The bite was still steady while focusing on the areas that were holding bait worked the best.
As we get back to a normal tide swing this week I foresee the bite continuing to get better and with a possible cool front moving in by mid week should help as well. Spoons, soft plastics and live bait have all been working well along with cut bait also. Contact us today to plan your Mosquito Lagoon or New Smyrna Beach fishing charter! Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Here we are into mid November and still with highs near 90 and the possibility of a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. But with all the craziness of weather the bite continues to be strong throughout the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters.
We continue to have plenty of bait on the flats making for an abundance of life . Artificials and live bait have both been working well making for an enjoyable time catching fishing on the water. The weather looks to be stable moving into the weekend and then possible storms mid week depending on approaching storm. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 |
