Winter time on the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoons is by FAR the best time of year to post big numbers of fish being brought to the boat. As more and more cold fronts slip through Florida and the water drops in temps, watch for redfish to move into their winter patterns. The backwaters of Mosquito Lagoon will be on fire in the coming months with 20-30 reds per day not uncommon.

Start to slow down your presentation as the fish become sluggish in the cooler water. Schooled up reds with most holding well over 50 fish is "winter time on the Lagoon".

As the water starts to become crystal clear it makes for a beautiful sight on our famous Lagoon.

As always, if you have any questions feel free to call me anytime!

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.
