Florida Redfish Report/Daytona/Orlando/NewSmyrna/MosquitoLagoon

[CaptMikeSavedow]

We have had some beautiful calm mornings this early February 2011 allowing for some great Redfish sight fishing on the schooling Reds here on Mosquito Lagoon. On the days with more breeze in the air I have been taking clients into the protected backwaters for good Seatrout fishing, on these trips we have also been catching good numbers of smaller size Reds and a few nice flounder. On one recent Redfish trip my regular client Fernando from Miami had an exceptional morning, he caught approx. 25 Redfish with 5 of them over the slot limit maximum of 27”. We had the good fortune to fish on 2 different very cooperative schools through the morning, in the late morning with the sun up in the sky allowed us the see the great school of Reds right next to the boat in the water like a big aquarium. A sight we won’t soon forget. Yesterday on another trip we had a windy morning, so I chose the protected waters, my 2 clients caught a total of over 50 Trout, smaller Reds, a few keeper Flounder in the mix. Here is a sunrise picture of Fernando with on of his big Reds, and a picture of me with a Fly caught Redfish while on a fun day trip with one of my guide friends.

As Florida spring time arrives and the water begins to warm up a little, we will also start to do backcountry mixed bag fishing trips again for Seatrout, and Redfish, but also catching Bluefish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Jacks, Ladyfish, and more species. You never know what type of saltwater fish you will pull up. This style of fishing on the mixed bag trips is mainly drift fishing and bottom fishing while free lining live shrimp and Gulp shrimp on light tackle which make for lots of rod bending fun. Good for experienced anglers and an easy way for less experienced anglers to be successful at catching lots of fish.

Thanks for the great report. I hope to get over to fish mosquito lagoon soon. My Dad lives in Port St.Lucie. So may tow the boat up that way soon.
I do Naples Fl Fishing Charters but have never been too the lagoon!
