Spring has been pretty good but now that we are transitioning into summer, the big trout are chewing throughout the Indian River in Mosquito Lagoon.

Well, it’s the start of tarpon season in the New Smyrna area with schools of bait fish along the beach. Tarpon are starting to show up in the rivers as well as the inlet.

The lack of rain and shifting winds from the south has brought a little dirty water into the north end of Mosquito Lagoon and the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach.

Great week of inshore fishing again as the spring bait has finally showed in the last week or two. Big snook have been the main target but we’ve got a few nice trout, several short and under slot snook, and triple tail as well.

Hopefully you guys and gals have had a chance to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather that we’ve had lately, and you’ve been able to get involved with the snook bite that continues to be surprisingly good both along the lagoons and at the inlets.

The hot bite continues with snook and redfish leading the charge. While things haven’t changed much over the past week, the onset of rainy season will likely bring shifts in fishing patterns soon.

I believe summer is definitely upon us here in Central Florida as the days get earlier and last longer. The weather has definitely started to warm and with the warmer weather comes warmer water temperatures throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon.

Well, it’s been another fairly decent week of fishing, but the bite has been completely different this week than last week. We had very good morning and mid morning bites in my last report but now it seems like the bite is coming around noon or later.
