Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report 10/31/10
I fished Wednesday in Edgewater with the largest tide fluctuation I think I’ve ever seen on the North Mosquito Lagoon. I started at 7 am on dead low tide. I bumped bottom running into Browns Bay for the first time. I ran to the oyster bars I knew were holding fish to find the bars completely out of the water! As the tide rose, reds moved up onto the bars and we hooked several trout on pinfish suspended under corks. By the end of the day, 6 hours later the bars were completely covered. The tide had risen 5 feet!
From Eldora south, where there is little tide, the water level is starting to drop pushing the reds into the deeper pot holes. I’ve been catching all my reds and trout in this area on Aqua Dream spoons. In dirty water the 3/8 oz pink weedless AD spoon is working best and in cleaner water I’m using a ¼ oz AD gold casting spoon.
We’re expecting two cold fronts this week which should drop the water temperature and make the fishing even better. I look forward to fishing in November, one of my favorite months. Trout season is closed for two months so remember to release all those Gator Trout!
Until next time, see you on the water.

Blackfin Tuna Key West

Blackfin tuna are showing up in big numbers . Catches with live bait have been no better than trolling . Charters in Key West are fishing for the “Chicken of the Sea” and catching good numbers. The water is cooling off and the winter stocks are starting to show . Sailfish on color changes and Wahoo on nice days (gotta love a fish that bites better in nice weather). King Mackerel aren’t really hot yet but a couple more cold fronts and they will be thick too.
