Mosquito Lagoon Redfish

Gulp shrimp on a circle hook seems to be the ticket for Mosquito Lagoon redfish this week around the Edgewater, Oak Hill areas.

A guide friend of mine who was on the water Thursday in this area caught 15 slot sized and over size redfish using this combination, mostly by sight fishing.

A few of the fish were caught by casting to the white sandy holes amid the fields of sea grass in the shallows.

The clear waters in the Mosquito Lagoon this time of the year, are perfect for this type of fishing providing you use stealth fishing tactics.

Fish your baits very slowly using light lines and longer than average casts if you want to improve your hookup ratio.

Fishing around the Port St. John area is also picking up as the waters temperatures begin to stabilize.

Live mullet or live shimp seem to be the ticket in this area if you want to some nice trout and redfish.

A friend of mine who fishes the Port Canaveral area said that the tripletail were just beginning to show up in 35' to 40' depths around any type of floating debris just outside of the Port.

Unfortunately I've been suffering with an ear infection all week that has me feeling crappy enough to not go fishing. Hopefully by Sunday if the weather is decent, I'll get out to try my luck with some reds.

Till then,

Tight Lines!
