Locating fish on Mosquito Lagoon will continue to be the ticket with the lowest water level of the year. I've talked about our LOW water, but now it's at it's lowest. Some flats that we usually fish are completely uncovered to the point you could walk across them and not get your feet wet!

Look for drop offs with shell shorelines for redfish to be hanging along with trout. If there's any sign of mullet in an area, it's definantly worth a shot. Toss live shrimp free lined in these areas.

With this next front coming through, I would bet the fishing is really going to heat up with a couple days in the low 30's and the upcoming weekend in the 70's.......welcome to Florida in the winter!! Sand sloughs in the back country with the sun on the rise will be the place to fish once we reach back into the 70's. Redfish and trout should be plentiful in these areas.

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.
