Mosquito Lagoon Redfish Fishing Report

Wed Mar 10, 2010

March of 2010 has not only been a banner year for redfish in the Mosquito Lagoon but it's been great for giant gator sized spotted seatrout too. Look for more of this to continue for the next few weeks and into April as the water warms and the fish start to forage for food.

March is typically know for flying kites in high winds so expect to have many of our sightfishing days turned into live-baiting or blind casting in areas where your guide has fore knowledge of fish populations, presence and movement. "Trust your guide and you'll do fine" is what I tell my anglers and without fail lately we've been extremely successful in hooking up and bringing in some great redfish.

It was cold recently but we managed to have a day of spectacular fly fishing for slot sized redfish in the Mosquito Lagoon on the eastern shoreline. We've also had several days of pulling reds out of small schools and pods of fish along sandbars and dropoffs. One of my anglers caught nine redfish in a half day while throwing weighted jerkbaits into schools of reds in the northern part of Mosquito Lagoon last week.

We're heading into spring after this month and the fishing should even get better as the water warms and the baitfish start to show up in the Lagoon. Call Captain Gina and get ready for a great spring and summer as April and May are right around the corner. (321) 868-4953
