Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report
With the fall baitfish run still in progress, the redfish are still feeding aggressively on mullet and other fish imitations. Many of the giant redfish are still spawning in deeper water. On the flats there are small and medium sized schools of redfish as well as singles and pairs. A few seatrout have been making an appearance along the sand bars and off the edges of the flats.
David had a successful day sight fishing Mosquito Lagoon landing several redfish on DOA Baitbusters and a few more on three inch CAL baits.
John and his son Dave had some shots at couple schools of giant redfish. Unable to quite get the large fly far enough, John switched to a spinning rod and quickly landed his biggest fish ever on a Baitbuster.
Unfortunately, the fish were spooked away before David could hook up. We moved up on the shallow flats and both guys had numerous shots at redfish with the fly throughout the day.
The following day, Ross spent an hour or so trying to reach another school of giant redfish with the fly. The mullet fly never got to the fish before they moved out to deeper water and vanished. The rest of the day was tough with shots few and far between.
Ellen and Mike fished with me last week in Mosquito Lagoon. Mike spent the morning casting at dozens of tailing and cruising redfish. His casting was a bit rusty but he was able to fool two reds on CALs. The newlyweds threw the DOA Deadly Combo around some mullet schools and caught and released over a dozen trout in short order.
Craig spent last Thursday casting flies to single and small schools of redfish. He had a couple bites and finally connected with one on a white and gold #4 bendback.
I got to spend a few hours on the water with my wife earlier this week. We managed to land several redfish on Baitbusters before clouds and wind sent us back to the ramp.
Although we had record high temperatures this week, that is bound to change soon. Cold fronts will begin to make there way to central Florida next month. The water level in the lagoon will begin to drop and the redfish will tail more and more each week. Clear water and tailing redfish will make for some great sight fishing.
