[Fishing Report]

With the fall baitfish run still in progress, the redfish are still feeding
aggressively on mullet and other fish imitations. Many of the giant
redfish are still spawning in deeper water. On the flats there are
small and medium sized schools of redfish as well as singles and
pairs. A few seatrout have been making an appearance along the
sand bars and off the edges of the flats.

David had a successful day sight fishing Mosquito Lagoon landing
several redfish on DOA Baitbusters and a few more on three inch
CAL baits.






John and his son Dave had some shots at couple schools of giant
redfish. Unable to quite get the large fly far enough, John switched
to a spinning rod and quickly landed his biggest fish ever on a
Baitbuster.






Unfortunately, the fish were spooked away before David could hook
up. We moved up on the shallow flats and both guys had numerous
shots at redfish with the fly throughout the day.

The following day, Ross spent an hour or so trying to reach another
school of giant redfish with the fly. The mullet fly never got to the
fish before they moved out to deeper water and vanished. The rest
of the day was tough with shots few and far between.

Ellen and Mike fished with me last week in Mosquito Lagoon. Mike
spent the morning casting at dozens of tailing and cruising redfish.
His casting was a bit rusty but he was able to fool two reds on
CALs. The newlyweds threw the DOA Deadly Combo around some
mullet schools and caught and released over a dozen trout in short
order.

Craig spent last Thursday casting flies to single and small schools
of redfish. He had a couple bites and finally connected with one on
a white and gold #4 bendback.





I got to spend a few hours on the water with my wife earlier this
week. We managed to land several redfish on Baitbusters before
clouds and wind sent us back to the ramp.





Although we had record high temperatures this week, that is bound
to change soon. Cold fronts will begin to make there way to central
Florida next month. The water level in the lagoon will begin to drop
and the redfish will tail more and more each week. Clear water and
tailing redfish will make for some great sight fishing.
