The fishing here in New Smyrna Beach continues to be good with the recent stable weather. It seems as though we are getting into our winter time pattern of cooler nights and warm days. This allows our fish to get adjusted to some consistent water temps instead a roller coaster of temperatures. The bait still seems to be plentiful throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. This is the time of year that I’m constantly telling my clients that slower and smaller is better. Small baits presented slowly will get you a bite a lot faster then the average spring and summer time retrieve.

It finally seems as though the weather has started to become stable . With stable weather upon us the bite has increased as the water temperatures have also increased. The water clarity looks to getting better through out the New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon waters. Look for redfish, trout and black drum to be holding on the shallow mud flats gathering warmth throughout the day. Live bait and cut bait have been a good choice to create a bite. Live bait including shrimp, mullet and mud minnows for cut bait both mullet and lady fish have been working well. It looks like the weather will continue to warm as the week moves on making for more active fish as the water temps warm.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 We have had a whirl wind of weather the past couple of weeks here in the New Smyrna Beach area. It seems as though the recent change in wind direction has push quite a bit of water out. The cooler water temperatures and lower water conditions are making for some steady sight fishing. There has been a good number of redfish and trout holding over the shallow bottom throughout the day along with black drum and some snook holding in the deeper water. Live bait and artificials have been working well when presented slowly. Look for the fishing to continue to get better as the weather starts to stable.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The recent cold fronts that have swept across New Smyrna Beach have really brought the water temps down. Both the air temps and water temperatures are now starting to rise bringing our game fish back to a happier mood. The trout and snook disappeared for a few days due to water temperatures moving into deeper water but have now started to show back up. The redfish and black drum can still be found holding on the flats in the pot holes and on the mud flats. Small baits have been the trick to get the bites. Shrimp , cut bait or small artificials worked slowly have done well. It looks like we have some warmer days ahead so hopefully it warms the water a tad bit more.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 It seems as though we are starting to get our winter time weather. The recent cold fronts that have hit the New Smyrna Beach area has also brought a change in wind direction pushing a lot of this unwanted water out. With water levels and temps dropping look for the fish to find warmer water in the sand holes and mud flats. Live bait and cut bait has been producing a little bit better bite then artificial with the recent weather changes. Hopefully the water clarity will improve throughout the Mosquito Lagoon with these cooler water temperatures.
Capt Patrick Rood New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Charters www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The fishing has continued to be steady throughout the New Smyrna Beach area. We had a little break of nice weather for a few days making for a little better bite. There is a cool front approaching FL which will lower air temps and unfortunately bring some windy conditions. Hopefully the cooler weather and future fronts will get the water conditions in Mosquito Lagoon back to normal. We still have bait scattered through out New Smyrna and Mosquito Lagoon. Due to the water clarity in the Lagoon at the moment live finger mullet, cut bait , plugs and spoons have been working the best. We have still been catching a variety of species from snook, jacks, redfish and trout to name a few.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 With the recent strong winds and high water fishing has been a challenge. The water clarity in Mosquito Lagoon is very dirty making sight fishing extremely hard. Throwing search baits has been a good way to produce a bite. Moving into the sheltered creeks of New Smyrna is a good way to avoid the wind. Throwing live shrimp and mullet on the leeward shorelines will also produce a bite. With a tropical storm passing to the west of us by the end of the week the weather should start to stable and the bite will improve.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The fishing still continues to be good with several redfish coming boat side this past week. We did finally get some cooler weather which unfortunately brought along high winds for a few days. After these winds subside the bight should continue to be good. Look for the pods of bait throughout New Smyrna Beach and the Mosquito Lagoon. I like to target the bait pods with both artificial and live bait. The trout, jacks , snook and redfish have been in or near the bait the last couple of weeks and are always looking for a easy meal. It looks as though the weather will stable out toward the end of the week and the bite should only get better.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite still continues to be good throughout the New Smyrna Beach waters. We have a influx of bait fish along the beach and through Mosquito Lagoon making for a continuous food supply. The jacks, blue fish, snook and redfish have been enjoying the unlimited food source. As long as the weather continues to be stable I believe the bite will continue to be good. We are still seeing some good numbers of trout and black drum in the shallows of the Lagoon but unfortunately with the influx of water we had the past couple of weeks the clarity is not so good.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The bite has continued to be good throughout the New Smyrna Beach area. We have had a good amount of baitfish scattered from Mosquito Lagoon north to New Smyrna. There is a variety of species in and around the baitfish this time of year. Look for the bait pods and focus on fishing in and around them with either live or artificial baits. The bait pods are holding trout, jacks, bluefish,tarpon and redfish right now and all are eager to eat. It looks like the weather will be stable for the next few days or so allowing the bite to continue.
