Nov 2012 Mosquito Lagoon

Dayton Beach, New Smyrna Beach, and Mosquito Lagoon Florida Fishing Report With a couple of unsual cold artic blast this year it seems to have almost put the fish into their winter time patterns but with that being said they have not comitted fully yet. With the cooler weather and lower water temps the flounder have started to find their ways into the bacwaters of Daytona and Edgewater along with the New Smyrna area. There has been reports of three to ten pound flounder being caught in great numbers on all different kinds of bait. From live bait to soft plastics bounced on the bottom and earlier in the month I even had a client boat a five pounder on a top water plug.The redfish are on the flats in great quanity along with the trout look for both to be holding in the sand holes and on the mud bottom early in the morning and then moving on to the shallow grass as the sun rises higher warming the water temps. I have had great success on both live bait and artificals for live bait I have been using finger mullet and shrimp and the artifical has been a Aqua Dream Spoon or a small soft plastic both worked slowly. I have seen a few larger schools of redfish but the majority of them have been in pods of three to twenty and also you can still find the singles tailing on the shallow grass.
