Looks as though we are getting another blast of arctic air moving into the New Smyrna Beach area this week. The frontal weather does affect the fish for a day or so especially in the shallow water of Mosquito Lagoon but the bite gets really strong on the days after the front passes. The redfish, trout, black drum and snook have all been chewing well after this past front as I expect the same routine after this front as well. Down sizing baits and slower retrieves will be the key to trigger bites in these clean and cooler water temperatures. Small soft plastics and live shrimp along with cut bait have been working well. After these cool conditions move out of the Central Florida area expect the bite to only get stronger each day.
