Fishing Report
August 2010
The dog days of summer are here!!
The heat is on and so are the redfish!!
The water level has risen over the last week.
Get out early before the water heats up and
the bite slows down!!
Don't forget to stay hydrated!!!!!
Redfish are tailing early morning and eating live shrimp and a well placed soft plastic or spoon. You can find backing reds cruising shorelines looking for a morning snack and small pods of tailing fish in the deeper part of the flat. These fish are extremely spooky so stealth is very important to get close enough to present your favorite bait. As the sun rises the fish will move out a little deeper and hang out in sand spots and around those same sand spots. Keep the sun at your back will help you spot these reds!!
The big schools of Bull reds 35-50 inch class fish are finning and tailing at first light and eat very well until boat traffic get's them on the move. When the sun get's high spotting these bruiser's at a distance is easy. DO NOT bomb your baits on there heads, all you will get is spooky fish!!!
Sea trout are on the move early cruising looking for an easy meal. Freeline a live mullet or croaker along the Lagoons drop offs will produce some spectacular blow ups and lot's of trout hook-ups!! My favorite time of the year to throw top water in search of a true Gator trout!! You may only get one or two hook ups but the hit is so awesome!!! Later in the day as the sun rises look for these Gator's in super small sand spots on the edges of the flats.
These big trout are really tough to see and super spooky so long cast and a stealthy approach are a must to get a shot at a trophy sea trout.
Tarpon are on the move in the Lagoon. Live baits or suspend baits are the most effective way to fish these silver kings!!!
August and Sept. are booking fast!!! The earlier you book a trip to catch a Mosquito Lagoon trophy the better!!!
Book your trip of a lifetime!!!
