I would have to say that we are no longer in drought conditions here in Central Florida, it has rained every day for the past week. Although with the influx of water in the Mosquito Lagoon it has not affected the bite at all. It has made it a harder to locate them because it has allowed them more areas to wonder but when you find them they will eat.
The key has been focusing on the schools of bait scattered across the oyster bars in the New Smyrna beach area and the shallow grass flats in the Lagoon. Artificials and live bait have both been working well. It looks like the afternoon showers will be here for the rest of the week so the mornings will most likely be best to stay dry.

I can not believe that it is already the end of August it feels as though this summer is just flying by. The fish are continuing to chew well and the water clarity is still looking good for this time of year. The bait is still flowing into the back waters and on to the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon. Look for the tarpon , jacks and snook along the deeper water mixed in with the bait pods as the trout, red fish and black drum will be on the shallow flats. They have all been chewing both artificial and live bait well this past week and I foresee this bite continuing. The weather looks good into next week so it definitely makes for a good time to wet a line.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 August has been a hot one both weather and bite in the Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna Beach. We are starting to get an influx of mullet moving off the beach and inshore which has been setting off some good bites. The fish have been in and around the bait pods. Look for the bait on the shallow flats early then moving to to the deeper water and intracoastal later in the morning.
The redfish, trout, jacks and snook have all been taking advantage of the mullet pods . So live finger mullet have been working well along with shrimp and pin fish. The artificial bite on top water, twitch baits and spoons have been working as well. The weather looks to be good moving into next week so the bite should continue. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 We managed to dodge Hurricane Debby over here on the East Coast of FL but with that being said our thoughts and prayers are with our friends on the West Coast. The bite has been really good this past week but with the influx of wind and rain over the past few days I’m sure the fish are going to ready to chew with stirred up new food sources. Look for the redfish and trout to be hanging on the shallow grass flats mixed in with the bait fish.
The snook and jacks have been working the deeper points and shorelines looking for an easy meal. A variety of live bait has been working well , like finger mullet, pin fish and select shrimp. Any of these in an artificial will work as well. The weather forecast looks to show a calming as this storm continues to move north away from FL so everything should be back to normal by the weeks end. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Things are really heating up on the water here in the New Smyrna Beach area. We have been targeting several different species throughout the backwaters. The bait continues to be scattered across the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon and spreading north into the creeks. Look for the redfish , trout and jacks to be mixed in the schools of bait early to mid morning.
As the water starts to heat up they will start to move off the shallows into a little deeper water like shorelines and ledges. Plugs and spoons have been working good early as live bait has been a more consistent bite. The weather has definitely been hot so early starts has also been working out well . The weather looks good through the up coming weekend but early next week could possibly be a wash out with a possible low pressure heading toward FL . We will just have to see how the forecast pans out. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The temperature’s this past week have been hot to say the least reaching mid 90’s and feeling well over a hundred but with that being said that bite has been fire early morning to mid morning. We have had plenty of bait covering the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon along with the back waters of New Smyrna Beach.
Look for the trout , redfish and snook to be shallow early and as the day heats up they will be falling off to the edges in a little deeper water. Live bait and artificials have been both working well in the shallows and deeper shorelines. Throwing plugs early have been producing some great bites on snook, jacks and trout as moving to live bait when the sun gets up has been tricking the redfish and other species. The weather looks to be consistent into next week which means this bite should continue to be good. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 Unlike the weather here in Central Florida the bite continues to stay consistently good . We have been starting early and finishing by mid morning to beat the heat and storms that have been hitting us all week. We are continuing to bring several species boat side like trout, redfish ,snook and jacks . We still have a large amount of bait spread out through the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach south into Mosquito Lagoon. Target the bait pods early and move to the deeper edges of flats and shorelines as the sun gets higher. Plugs , soft plastics and live bait have all been working well. It looks like the weather will be continuing through next week so watch out for those pesky afternoon storms.
Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The summer time weather pattern is in full effect here in Central Florida with really hot days and late afternoon thunderstorms. With this pattern sitting in it has fired up the bite again with stirring things up in the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach. The bait continues to be plentiful and the fish can be found in and around the schools of bait.
We have been boating several different species like jacks , redfish, trout, snook and black drum . The secret has been find the bait find the fish and this is even more true throughout Mosquito Lagoon where the bait has also been in great numbers . This weather pattern looks to be here into next week and the fish do not seem to mind. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon have been heating up with some great fishing this past week. We have had multiple boat slams come boat side with trout , redfish and snook . We have even had the occasional flounder make an appearance. The bait continues to be spread out from Daytona Beach south into the Lagoon.
Look for the bait pods and structure as the fish will not be to far away. Early starts have been the truck lately as we have had some extremely hot days along with afternoon thunderstorms. The weather looks to be about the same heading into next week so I foresee the bite continuing to be strong. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 The temperatures have not lightened up here in Central FL with highs in the mid and high 90’s for the past couple of weeks. The nice thing is the bite has not lightened up as well. We have continued to boat several different species from redfish , snook , trout and black drum to mention a few. The bait has been plentiful which I also contribute to the good bite as well.
The water clarity throughout Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna Beach waters has been great for sight fishing , making it easy to spot cruising fish on shorelines and grass flats. It looks as though we could be getting some much needed rain this week which will continue to get these fish fired up. Capt Patrick Rood www.spotntailcharters.com (386)566-1394 |
