Mosquito Lagoon, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
North end of Mosquito Lagoon
Today's charter was a "two" boater with myself and another fine fishing guide, to Mosquito Lagoon with 2 clients on each boat. Joining us were four fine anglers from Arizona and Wisconsin. Oh yea...... -35 degrees in Wisconsin today was like a summer day on the Lagoon for us!!
As we spoke about the Northern Pike fishing in Canada, I surely wanted them to do some comparison with redfish. There response was just as I imagined....."boy they fight well"!!! "They don't seem to give up NEARLY as easily as the Northerns do"!
We hit an area thet has been holding some fine catches of good size reds for a couple weeks now and today was no different. At one point sitting within 20 yards from each other, we had a triple hook up with all three oversize. This was the beginning....
Good job guys as we boated over 12 reds between the four of us with most over the upper slot limit of 27".
It's a tough problem to have when your boating reds all over size trying to get one in the slot!!!!! Awesome pictures of these fine gamesters with photos to last a lifetime!! (coming on my next report)

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.
