Mosuito Lagoon October 7 2011 fishing forcast
Well we have a strong front pushing through New Smyrna and it will bring heavy rains and wind , the big factor is the fishing after the front . The fishing next week will be hot we will have high water and cooler water temps which equal good fishing . I still have several days open and if you want to get some good fishing on the mosquito lagoon give me a call . Reds have been tailing and the artificial bite should be awesome with the grass being blown out from the strong winds .

october 2011 daytona to titusville fishing forcast
The water is higher now and slowly starting to clean up , over the next couple of weeks as the weather cools it should clean up more if past weather patterns hold true . October is the month when everything really starts to turn on in the mosquito lagoon . The mullet run is in full swing which switches just about every other game fish into feeding mode , Reds are starting to school up in small groups of 20-50 fish and starting to cruise the flats feeding and trout will start to be much more aggressive as they are feeding on schools of finger mullet . Top baits of choice in the flats are top water in mullet pattern or bone colored , swim baits as well as jerk baits in white , baby bass or new penny color, live mullet or pin shrimp for sight casting . Now for the near shore guys the tarpon are fallowing the mullet and other bait pods south and are working the bait pods as well as the Kings and the cobia will be following these as well . Look behind the shrimp boats for tarpon and sharks and in the bait pods for cobia , tarpon , Kings and bonita .

Well the fishing has been a little up and down for April but May is usually one of my favorite months to fish. We have been catching Reds still schooled up as well as singles laying in the sand holes . They should start to cruise the banks as the water levels have increased due to the spring tides . Cruising fish will hit layed up gulp shrimp , jerk baits and live shrimp or cut mullett . The Trout bite is getting much better In the last few days we have site cast to a 7lb trout and caught 5lbers on top water . With some luck the tarpon should start to move in over the next few weeks . For site casting to large reds up to 40lbs now is the time of year .

Well we have had TS Fay hover over us for 2 days and the increase in water and cooler water temps should have the fish in a feeding frenzy . The Tarpon should be going nuts and the red and trout should be scattering out into the sandholes . Look forward to the next couple of weeks of fishing it should be hot.

Well the water is coming up and warming with the spring like weather . The schools are starting to move into skinny water and the trout are strating to feed on the edges of bars . Over the next couple of weeks some of the best fishing as far as sight casting should be here . The top water bite is starting to turn on as well as the spoon bite. Us live shrimp or jerk baits as well as gulp 3in shrimp around the schools of reds and top water and jerk baits or spoons on the cloud over cast days to locate fish. Jigs work well on the edges for trout .

The fishing has been great for March with reds schooling up and feeding on live shrimp and gulps . The water is low in the lagoon right now which mean the schools are everywhere . Look for the trout bite to get better and the top water bite to increase over the next few weeks as the mullet start to show up.
