Spring is definitely upon us here in New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon. The bite has been turning up and the flats have been alive. We have had clean and clear water conditions from Daytona Beach south through Mosquito Lagoon making for some great sight fishing
The weather finally started to behave here in the Central Florida area this past week. The wind had subsided making the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon slick out for a few days.
This past weekend has been a tad bit windy here in the New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach area, making fishing a little difficult at times.
As we approach March it seems as though the weather is starting to figure out that we are coming up on 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.
As we continue with some beautiful weather again this week the fish still continue to chew well. The weather here in the New Smyrna Beach area has been great with highs in the low 80s and calm winds.
It seems almost as though winter has completely stopped and Spring is here in Central Florida. Although I believe we still have some more winter weather coming before it’s all said and done.
According to the 10 day forecast we may be out of the frozen tundra weather for awhile here in the New Smyrna Beach area. The forecast is calling for highs in the 70’s with some clear skies making for some great fishing on Mosquito Lagoon and the surrounding waters.
Looks as though we are getting another blast of arctic air moving into the New Smyrna Beach area this week.
