Goat Creek Kayak Fishing
I had a very Merry Snookmas on my last trip before Christmas day at Goat Creek. I have to give a huge shoutout to Luke Foster, a fantastic young angler, who attends Melbourne Central Catholic, he gave me a great run down on Goat Creek one day during finals week, and I have to say all of his advice was on point as I had a dynamite day fishing back there.

Low Waters in Mosquito Lagoon
The water has been very low. The fish have been eating smaller 3 inch paddle tales or a shrimp tipped jig working the edge to the flats. This last cold front has dropped the water to 63° but will probably warm a little bit over the holidays with highs in the 70s.
