Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report 10/17/10
The water remains high throughout the lagoon with very strong incoming tides. Redfish remain scattered so we’re doing a lot of hunting as well as fishing. I am working the creeks and shorelines from George’s Bar to Edgewater using a Zara Spook and Aqua Dream spoons as search baits. There has been a good top water bite that is lasting throughout the day. The water temperature is down to 76 degrees which is very comfortable for reds and trout so the bite is not limited to the early morning. Once I locate fish I will slow down and work the area with a jerk bait or spoon if I’m alone or with pinfish if I have a charter. Trout fishing will be improving as the water temperature continues to drop. I catch some of my biggest trout of the year in November and December. The season is closed so it’s all catch and release which is ok. I don’t like killing big gator trout anyway.
Fishing should continue to improve and I’m looking forward to the upcoming weeks.

I will be at the Sportsman’s Expo October 23-24 at Rossmeyer H/D Destination Daytona I-95 and US 1 Ormond Beach. I will have a booth for Aqua Dream Living and will be doing a seminar Sunday on catching redfish and Sea trout. If you can, stop by and say hi.
Until then see you on the water
