Mosquito Lagoon, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
North end of Mosquito Lagoon
By the end of the month, most of our redfish population will be prepared for the upcoming colder months. Finger mullet have been feasted on and as they move out of our inlets, redfish will look more to crustations over live baitfish.
I like to fish live jumbo shrimp or soft plastic Rip Tide baits during the cooler months working the backwaters of Mosquito Lagoon. Reds will gather up in good size schools making sightfishing them in the Lagoons' clear water a main focus for most anglers. As the water gets colder, slow down your presentation and downsize your artificials. During the summer months for example I'll go with a 4 inch Rip Tide mullet plastic, and in the winter months go with the 3 inch. This works!!

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.
