This past Memorial Day Weekend was definitely challenging with the massive influx of people on the water but it did not stop the fish from eating. We did get a little extra water pushed into the New Smyrna Beach backwaters with a strong NE wind for a few days. The winds have shifted back to the West Southwest and water levels are starting to get back to normal.
The bait continues to be plentiful throughout Mosquito Lagoon and the fish can still be found in and around the bait. Plugs have been working well early in the morning then moving to spoons, plastics and live bait as the sun gets higher. It looks like we have some afternoon storms moving into the area later in the week but hopefully will not be causing any issues for a morning session.

The bite continues to be steady throughout the waters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. The bait has been plentiful scattered both in the backwaters and on the flats. Look for the trout, redfish and snook in and around the bait pods. Both artificial and live bait have been working well.
Plugs and spoons early then moving to soft plastics backed up by some some live shrimp or mullet as well. The wind has definitely been a force to play with this past week but it has also allowed the fish to not be on edge making it easier to get shots on them. The weather looks to be good for the most part this up coming week which should just reassure the bite. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite continues to be strong throughout the waters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. The weather has been great this past week triggering a chewing mood for our fish. Look for this activity to continue as the extended forecast shows a high pressure sitting over the state into next week.
The sight fishing has been good with numbers of black drum and red fish cruising the shallows of Mosquito Lagoon . The trout and snook have been making an appearance as well in the deeper water looking for a easy meal. Live bait has been the best choice but soft plastics and spoons have been getting the job done for artificial. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The little last bit of winter still wants to hang around the Central FL area for another week. This past weekend was when the front moved through creating cooler temps and windy conditions. Before the front the bite was excellent throughout the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters and will continue as the days warm this week.
We have been targeting several species from black drum , redfish , trout , snook and jacks. Both artificial’s and live bait have been working well . The smaller presentations have been working better with the cooler water temps and clear skies. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The past couple of weeks have been chamber of commerce kinda days here in Central Florida. We have had highs in the 80’s and clear blue skies but unfortunately you must have a little bad to appreciate the good. We have had a small front come through over the weekend into Monday bringing some rain and wind.
The bite was good before the front and slowing down a bit over the weekend as the front moved through they should get right back on track as this weather moves out. The redfish, drum , snook and trout have all been chewing well from New Smyrna South through Mosquito Lagoon. Shrimp, mullet and pin fish have been working well for live bait and spoons , soft plastics and plugs for the artificial bite. The bite should only continue to get better as we move into spring followed by summer. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The waters throughout the New Smyrna Beach area have been alive with activity this past week. My clients have been boating redfish, trout and black drum several different ways. We have caught them along the deeper shorelines in the backwaters of New Smyrna and also sight fishing them in the shallows of Mosquito Lagoon. The weather has been consistent making for a good bite and looks to continue through the weekend. Both artificial and live bait have been working well . Targeting the bait pods have been working well both on the flats and along the bars.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite continues to be good throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and south into Mosquito Lagoon. The water level has lowered quite a bit bringing a lot of the fish out of the ditches and on to the flats into schools and small groups.
We have been targeting black drum, redfish , snook and trout this past week and the weather has been great for it. Clear skies and clean water has produced the perfect storm of a bite. February is usually always a great month to sight fish and by the looks of it , I do not think it’s going to disappoint this year as well as we have been on a great bite so far.

Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite throughout the New Smyrna Beach backwaters continues to be good. With the reassuring fronts this past week the fish have maintained their winter time patterns. We have had schools of black drum and redfish working the flats of Mosquito Lagoon along with numbers of trout and snook in the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach. This is definitely one of my favorite times of year to fish between the awesome weather and happy fish it always makes for an enjoyable day on the water.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The fishing continues to be good throughout the Central FL waters from New Smyrna Beach south to Mosquito Lagoon. With the cooler water temps the water clarity has been excellent making for some great sight fishing. The redfish and black drum have been chewing great in the cooler water and as the water starts to warm later in the week the trout and snook should turn on as well. We still have a good number of bait throughout the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters. As the week moves on the air temps and water temps will only increase and should reassure the bite.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite has been great in the New Smyrna Beach waters after our Christmas freeze . The water clarity has become gin clear making for some epic sight fishing this past week. We have been bringing great numbers of black drum and redfish boat side this week. It looks as though we are having another little front coming across the state which will only make the bite better. The bait can still be found in great numbers throughout the New Smyrna waters and Mosquito Lagoon. Live shrimp , cut bait and finger mullet have all been working well along with spoons , soft plastics and sun walk hard baits as well.
