Not so Fast, SPRING!

So just when we thought that Spring had arrived here in Central Florida ole Winter had to make another appearance. We had a small front dip down over the weekend bringing wind, rain and cooler temperatures across Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. It kinda throw the fish for a little loop as they were starting to get settled into a spring time pattern. But, after figuring out that temperature and wind direction are changing they have got right back into the groove of things. Look for the red fish and trout throughout the sand holes and deeper sloughs of mosquito Lagoon and back waters of New Smyrna. The snook have been hanging in the deeper water in and around structure. We also have a large number of black drum working the shallows on the mud and sand bottom. The baits of choice have been shrimp, mullet and cut bait along with soft plastics and spoons. It looks as though we have another cold front moving in mid week so I believe this pattern will stay in place for a while.
