Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report 1-30-11
We are currently experiencing the best winter red fishing we’ve had in 10 years! There are schools of redfish all over the north end of the lagoon. They range from groups of five to big schools of over two hundred. On calm days they can be pretty easy to find, however when it’s windy it can be some what of a challenge. Look for schools on the flats in one to two feet of water. In the creeks you will find them near oyster bars and on deeper shorelines. The good news is when you do find them they will usually eat. The reds I cleaned for my clients last week all had empty stomachs which mean they are very hungry. I’ve had very good luck catching them on Aqua Dream spoons, the new AD spinner and Gulp Shrimp rigged on an Aqua Dream skimmer jig. Sea trout are also active in three to four feet of water along oyster bars. They are feeding in the early afternoon when the water warms. They’ve been hitting 3 inch mullet tails rigged on a ¼ oz. AD classic jig head. I expect fishing to remain the same through February. The water is still very low so be careful where you run and until next time, see you on the water.
