Mosquito Lagoon Fishing report 12/5/10
BRRRR…. Winters early this year! I fished Monday before the last cold front for six reds on the new, yet to be named, spinner bait. The redfish were very active, tailing and feed into the current. They were slamming the new bait in both gold and black blades. I have been very impressed with the effectiveness of this lure and hope to have them up on the Aqua Dream Living website very soon.
On Saturday’s charter after the cold front, we struggled early as the water temperature had fallen from 72 on Monday to 52 on Saturday. That’s quite a shock for a fish. As the water warmed up however, the reds started to feed. The magic water temperature was 60 degrees. When the sun warmed the water to 60 degrees the reds went off. We fished six schools of reds through out the day and ended up boating eight, all on live shrimp. We’re scheduled to have three nights in the thirties this week which should school the reds and clear the water in the creeks and bays around Edgewater. I’ll let you know. The cold weather should also move the gator trout onto the flats. I love the challenge of sight fishing these big trout.
I will be scouting the backwaters this week and will give you an update. Until then, see you on the water.
