Fishing this past month has had it’s ups and downs in the Mosquito Lagoon. In the beginning of the month it was fantastic, with tailing and crawling redfish pretty much on every grass flat you can find and they were willing to eat any well presented fly or artificial lure.
What I’ve been witnessing these past few days have been the total opposite, less fish on the flats, and if you do find one, they have been tough to feed which I totally blame the full moon on this one. Hard west winds and early Thunderstorms didn’t make things any easier. Once the moon gets a little smaller, things should be getting back to normal.
The back country Tarpon fishing has been pretty consistent lately. Although most of these fish are very tough to feed at times, the right fly and presentation will trigger the bite.
Mark from Texas got his first ever Tarpon on fly while fishing a half day with me in the backwaters of the Space Coast.
Pete, also from Texas joined me on the Mosquito Lagoon to catch his first ever Redfish on fly. Fish were tailing and crawling in super skinny water this day.
Jeremy and Mike from Missouri fished the Mosquito lagoon for their first time. D.O.A. Shadtails were working well on the redfish during this hot summer day.
Hunter came down from North Carolina to catch his first Mosquito Lagoon redfish, and a perfect one at that.
Eric and Dan got into some pretty good Mosquito Lagoon action with me this week. Redfish , Sea Trout, and baby Tarpon were keeping them busy most of the day on both fly and spin tackle.
Brady from Apollo Beach, FL. got into some Tarpon in the Mosquito Lagoon before our trip was cut short by an early summertime storm.
As long as the winds stay light and the Storms don’t pop up too early, you can expect the fishing to remain good for the rest of the month and into August in the Mosquito Lagoon, Indian River, and Banana River.
