The extended forecast for this up coming week is looking great for the Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach area. It looks as though we are showing low winds along with clear making for some great sight fishing on Mosquito Lagoon. This past week had us dealing with a roller coaster of weather between wind and cloud cover making it difficult to get the fish on any kind of pattern. We definitely beat the bushes and got it done in some not so favorable conditions, with snook, trout, black drum and redfish all hitting the deck of the boat.
I’m looking forward to some typical Central Florida weather and some happy New Smyrna Beach fish to go along with it. The redfish and trout have been hanging with the bait on the shallow grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon. Shrimp, mullet and artificials have all been working well. The snook have started to turn on up north from Daytona Beach south into New Smyrna Beach. Look around the deep water structures like bridges, and docks for those hard hitting line siders. Artificials and live bait has been working well for them as well. The schools of Black Drum can still be found roaming the mud bars and flats on the Lagoon. Live shrimp and crab has been working best for the drum.
