Florida Saltwater Fishing.
Fishing Report for Mosquito Lagoon.

1999 continues to be an awesome year for Redfishing in Mosquito Lagoon. We have not had a trip with less than double digit numbers of Redfish so far on 21 charters through the month of February. Mother nature continues to give us very warm temperatures both in the water and during the day allowing for great fishing. The water temperature is 73 degrees in the lagoon and surrounding flats, more like April and the fish are aggressive and plentiful.


Today with clients Ray Choff and brother Frank from Michigan we had 13 redfish , 1 black drum at 12 #, 2 seatrout, and 1 small flounder. We were sight casting to large sandy potholes in the grass flats with ultralight spinning gear (6# test). A very good halfday trip.


The day before with one of my regular clients John McClain of Orlando we had 15 reds to 12# and we visually sighted, casted and hooked 8 of those within 3 to 5 feet of the boat as I poled along the flats. This is top of the line in flats fishing when you see the fish in 18 inches of water and make a short cast beyond the redfish and slowly twitch the lure and then see the Redfish turn and go for the lure, watch him eat it, and then set the hook . It doesnt get any better than that. What a thrill to visually see the whole process from less than 5 feet away in very shallow water and sometimes directly over the Redfish. Wow!


Well I dont know if it can get any better, but this Year is fast becoming one of the best Redfishing winters in a long time and with Spring fast on its way it will be nothing short of spectacular. CANT WAIT. Its fun to be the guide when you can put all your clients on this many fish. Thank you mother nature.
