Mosquito Lagoon, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
North end of Mosquito Lagoon
Redfish in Mosquito Lagoon are starting to school up well in the past couple days. The water level has dropped - perfect for the fish to bunch up.
Today was just another scouting trip and in 2 days the water is dropping by the hour. This signals that the reds are going to settle into their winter patterns with this cold snap.....finally!! We fished 3 areas today all with schooling redfish. The first stop was in less than a foot of water with groups of 3-4 fish tailing. We boated one going 32 inches weighing right at 12 pounds. The second stop got us trout and a couple smaller reds. The third stop had reds everywhere! All different sizes, from rats to over the slot, and schooled up very well. This time of year is my favorite with cool temps and bunched up fish.
Ask me about a BIG discount on a Mosquito Lagoon charter I have going on right now till December 24th!!! Perfect time to get that Christmas gift certificate!

Bio: Growing up on the east coast of Florida I started fishing at a very early age mostly on the inshore waters of the Indian River Lagoon. Now with the experience of learning every corner of the back waters and fish behavior patterns, I am a full time fishing guide on the Mosquito Lagoon. Besides writing monthly fishing reports for my website, Coastal Angler Magazine, and various other organizations, I also enjoy working with and am on the pro staff for Rip Tide Lures, High Roller Lures, Berkley, Pure Fishing, Daiichi Hooks, and Costa Del Mar Sunglasses.
