Ozello/Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

Ozello/Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report We fished two days in Ozello, and one day on Mosquito Lagoon, so we have an Ozello/Mosquito Lagoon fishing report. I wanted to scout the lagoon Monday. The 30 mph winds precluded that. Tuesday morning Scott Radloff and I left Orlando ridiculously early for our 7 am appointment with Brian Stauffer, Fish Head Kayak Charters, at the Ozello Community Boat Ramp. We were on time. We launched on a beautiful morning, and fished our little buttses off. We saw decent numbers of fish. None bit. I'd never been to Ozello before in spite of all the good things I had heard about it. The water was clean. There were mangroves, and oysters, and grass. The habitat looked healthy. The fish didn't bite, well, that happens. Especially after a front goes through. Wednesday we met Brian again, same place. He took us in the opposite direction. The first time I stood up I spooked three reds. In spite of the fact I saw about two dozen fish, all I could muster was a small lizardfish and a modest trout. Brian got a small slot red and a flounder. Once again we saw good numbers of fish but could not get the sales job done. Maybe Brian needs a higher quality of angler. Thursday Pete Azur joined me for some Mosquito Lagoon fishing. We tried a few spots that had a few fish, and we had a few bites that were missed. But it was a tough day. At the final spot Pete hit a nice trout, 21 inches long, on a plastic shad, thereby keeping Mr. Skunk off my boat. But it was pretty close. And that is the Ozello/Mosquito Lagoon fishing report! Life is great and I love my work! Life is short- Go Fishing!
