The bite has continued to be strong after the influx of holiday boat traffic that had scattered from Daytona Beach south through New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon for the Forth of July. The bait pods continue to be throughout the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach making for some great trout and redfishing. The snook and jacks have also been active and can be found chasing bait along the shorelines.

The grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon has also been alive with bait and with bait brings predators. The trout and redfish have been hanging in and around the pods of bait throughout the Lagoon. Plugs, spoons and soft plastics have been working and the live bait like pin fish, mullet and shrimp have been even better.

It looks as though we are in our summer time weather pattern throughout Central Florida with afternoon showers usually stretching from Daytona Beach south into New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon on a daily basis.
