Here it is the 3rd week of December and we are still having 75 to 80 degree days, the warm weather has kept our fishing pattern in a late fall transition pattern with winter cold water not quite here yet. We do have small schools of quality Redfish up to 28 or more inches and loose knit groups near mullet schools. Seatrout catching has been good during this closed season month, the open season starts again on New Years Day. We have had some great sight fishing for Reds on the calm mornings casting shrimp or mullet chunks to the small schools as they push wakes in shallow calm water. Small “runt” Reds are schooling in some of the deeper sand sloughs, holes and creeks, they make for great fun with catch and release fishing these scrappy little fighters, a gulp shrimp jig bounced on the bottom are a good choice for these fish usually having some Trout mixed in with the little Reds.
We have been also having great mixed bag trips which is a fun easy type of fishing, in the Indian River Backcountry at the north end of the Mosquito Lagoon, this type of fishing is for Seatrout, Redfish, Bluefish, Flounder, Ladyfish, Black Drum & other saltwater fish. On the average Backcountry trip we may catch around 10 different species of fish. You never know what will bite with this type of fishing, mainly drift fishing while free lining live shrimp on light tackle make for lots of rod bending and drag pulling. Fun for experienced anglers and an easy way for less experienced anglers to be successful at catching lots of fish.
Come fish with me on beautiful Mosquito Lagoon Florida. I offer either flats fishing targeting Redfish on the flats, which can be a little more challenging type of fishing, as we hunt for the fish on the grass flats of the lagoon waters, and Seatrout on the drop offs and sloughs.
As we are out catching fun saltwater fish we will be seeing lots of wildlife up close and personal near the boat with Dolphins and many different bird species on every trip.
We will pick the best choice of which type trip will be the best for “catching” on your day out with me depending on your preferences for a fun day.

We have been having some fun fall inshore fishing charter trips here at Mosquito Lagoon this October 2011, with the high water this time of year, we are targeting Redfish close to shorelines and on grass flats which are now good depth of 12” to 18”, many of the flats which held fish during the early summer now have deeper water over them, encouraging our north lagoon fish to seek out the shallower water that they prefer to feed in. As temperatures start to become milder here in East Central Florida, some of the Reds are starting to school together, and will only group up more as it finally gets cooler come November. Here are some pictures of happy clients with Redfish from some of my last few charter trips on the flats. Also a picture of me with a fly caught Red from a scouting trip with a fellow guide which we found a school of tailing Redfish which just begged to be fly fished.
Come fish with me on beautiful Mosquito Lagoon Florida. I offer either flats fishing mainly targeting Reds, which can be a little more challenging type of fishing, as we hunt for the fish on the grass flats of the lagoon waters. Also I take a lot of charter clients on mixed bag trips which is a fun easy type of fishing, in the Indian River Backcountry at the north end of the Mosquito Lagoon, this type of fishing is for Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, & other saltwater fish. On the average Backcountry trip we catch over 10 different species of fish. You never know what will bite with this type of fishing, mainly drift fishing while free lining live shrimp on light tackle make for lots of rod bending and drag pulling. Fun for experienced anglers and an easy way for less experienced anglers to be successful at catching lots of fish. As we are out catching fun saltwater fish we will be seeing lots of wildlife up close and personal near the boat with Dolphins and Manatees on just about every trip.
We will pick the best choice of which type trip will be the best for “catching” on your day out with me depending on your preferences for a fun day.

Well several weeks of weather changes have come and gone leaving us with optimal conditions for flats fishing. The temperatures have dropped and then come back up and are leveling off comfortably now. The water levels were high and now, after the massive rain storms we just had, are even higher. Not long before it drops for winter. The water clarity should start to improve with the fresh water added and a mixture of conditions happening stirring things to say. This has the fishing going up and then coming down, then going back up again. However now that we are back in a steady weather pattern I see the fishing improving tremendously and eventually we should be in a sight fishing paradise once again throughout all of the flats here in the east central Florida area. The weather will start to cool down as well. Making for a typical Florida fall/winter day on the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River, perfect! Next thing you know we are in the winter months of Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River fishing. This means world class sight fishing on the crystal clear grass flats. This is why the lagoon is known as the redfish capital of the world.
The past several weeks brought in numerous great days of fishing trips and produced some very nice catches along with it. Redfish have been the staple of most trips. Along with this a few sea trout, flounder, lady fish and black drum have been mixed into the days catch. A few tarpon have been spotted here and there but they have been hit or miss ever since the bad freezes we had the past two years. A few of my clients, Rob, Darryl, Mitchell, June, Tom and Aaron just to mention a few, had outstanding days on the water. The top baits and lures used have been the D.O.A. Shallow Runner Bait Buster, live finger mullet, mud minnows, D.O.A. Cals, D.O.A. BFL 5.5, black crab flies, mullet flies all on 8 weight fly rods and small live blue crabs. The blue crabs I have been using were all hand caught and are in the size range of a silver dollar and used in combination with a 3/0 circle hook. These are gold to redfish. All fished light tackle on Stradic & Sustain 2500's/4000's mounted on St. Croix Legend Elite rods. Line and leader go from 10 pound braid to 15 with roughly 20 inches of 15-20 pound fluorocarbon leader.
The waters we have been fishing have basically been the entire Mosquito Lagoon, Indian River and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge areas. There were days we stayed in the New Smyrna, Edgewater and Oak Hill area and then days we fished the south end near Titusville in the lagoon and the river. On a few occasions we fished the west bank of Mims, the areas near the railroad bridge in Titusville, the north end of the Indian River there in Scottsmoor and the north bombing range in search of the big bulls that have been all over the area. The big bull reds have been in a spawning mode and are throughout the deeper waters here. When you find them try the D.O.A. Shallow Runner Bait Buster. Throw it in front and past the lead fish. A steady retrieve bringing it across them will entice a bite or ten. Do not slow it down or let it sink. It is not normal for a bait fish to stop for a predator. Hang on and have fun. Please be sure to handle these and all fish very carefully as to get them released safely and quickly for a higher survival rate. Also do not hold these fish vertically. Hold them horizontally if you have too. It is better for them this way. Practice catch and release, the future of this fishery depend on all anglers. Not just one.
The tactics and techniques are basically unchanged. Search the flats early and look for signs of bait and bird activity. Tailers should be found early and throughout the morning time in grass flats where mullet are present. Approach fish easy. Do not rush it. I have stressed this before and will stress it again. Take your time and be stealthy about it. Use your push pole as much as you can. Be sure not to cast on top of your fish as they will spook. Watch the noise levels in the boat too. Also please, give your fellow angler plenty of room. Do not crowd up on top or run your boat too close to others as it will scare fish away. There is plenty of water to fish out there.

The long Florida summer of 2011 is almost over and we are looking forward to a fun fall fishing season to come, cooler mornings will be feeling great !! We will be out on the grass flats of Mosquito Lagoon chasing Redfish and Seatrout, bait fish will be abundant as our fall mullet run is starting with migrating bait schools heading south through our waters. Backcountry mixed bag fishing can be very fun in the fall as lots of migrating inshore game fish move through our area following the bait schools. Here are a few pictures of clients with their fish from recent fishing charter trips.
Come fish with me on beautiful Mosquito Lagoon for flats fishing. This type of sight fishing can be challenging and very rewarding when you hook up with a drag pulling Redfish or Trout. Good for experienced anglers or less experienced anglers looking for a new fishing challenge. Fishing on the grass flats by sight fishing in 1 to 2 feet of water is loads of fun as I pole the boat over the clear shallow waters hunting for fish.. As we are out catching fun saltwater fish we will be seeing lots of wildlife up close and personal near the boat with Dolphins and Manatees on just about every trip.
If you are looking for a fun easy type of fishing trip, autumn is a great time to try one of my Indian River Backcountry trips in the north end of the Mosquito Lagoon, this is mixed bag fishing for Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, & other saltwater fish. On the average Backcountry trip we catch over 10 different species of fish. You never know what will bite with this type of fishing, mainly drift fishing while free lining live shrimp on light tackle make for lots of rod bending and drag pulling.

August 29th, 2011 New Smyrna Beach – Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Reports
Well summer time has been here among us for some time now and the fishing has been great! This time of year can be outstanding if you work it to your advantage. With the higher water levels it does tend to make it a bit more challenging to locate your targets. Grass pads, dirty water and huge mullet everywhere add to the challenge. Now we all know the fish will still eat, they have too. So just change your tactics and approaches up for this time of year and your success rate will be steady. On a side note however please do use extra caution while you are navigating the Mosquito Lagoon waters. There are hidden sand bars and ledges that can be just inches under the waters service.
We have had several days of getting numerous redfish with the D.O.A. Shallow Runner Bait Buster, mullet pattern flies, live mullet and a live mud minnow here and there depending on your preference and wants. Several different colors work, with the Bait Buster, as long as when it is cast you do not stop it on the retrieve and do not let it sink. Well also there is one more critical thing that applies to every single fish you are casting to. DO NOT land on top of the fish. They will spook. With redfish and trout aggressively feeding early and throughout the morning chasing mullet and bait fish this choice will work for hours. Watch for mullet to be crashed and or redfish moving and cast in front and past them. The D.O.A. Cals and Shrimps will work just as well for sight fishing methods. The keys are patience, distance and stealth. Early starts are still in the mix for a recipe of success. Looking for clean water and light at your advantage will just improve things. You should be able to catch tailing redfish at first light and then move onto bars and drop offs as the day goes on.
A few redfish and trout have been caught using fly as well the past weeks. Mullet patterns seem to be the best with a #2 hook on an 8 or 9 weight fly rod. Trout are mostly in the deeper waters and along sandbars and cooler spots of the lagoon. A few black drum and a few tarpon have been seen throughout the entire Mosquito Lagoon. Every now and then you may stumble across a stray lady fish or jack.
Please remember to respect your fellow angler and give them as always a wide berth of space. Also please, handle all of your fish with extreme care during these hotter days of summer for a safer and faster release of them to be able to fight again another day. Sport fishing is the way to go.
I look forward to seeing all of you on the water. Tight lines!

Water levels have finally started to rise here on Mosquito Lagoon as our long awaited summer rainy season has arrived with regular afternoon rains. Most mornings have beautiful calm conditions with a little coolness in the air for the first couple of hours after the rain the evening before. The higher water on the flats will open up much more fishable water for me as grassy shallows which have only had a few inches of water over them the last few months now are deep enough for the Redfish and also us in my boat to be on the prowl hunting our prey. Also these newly flooded areas are flush with Redfish food because they have been to shallow for the fish to graze on for so long now allowing for many baby crabs, shrimp, and marine invertebrates to grow un harvested by the Reds. The last couple of weeks since my last report have seen many good trips with Reds on the flats by targeting the large mullet schools which gather in shallow water to avoid the Dolphins and larger predators of deeper water. Also when available, fishing live Pigfish baits for Seatrout on the drop offs, edges, and holes. My Indian River Backcountry mixed bag trips have been loads of fun with lots of action from Trout, Jacks, Ladyfish, and sometimes a couple of Black Drum, Flounder, Reds, and more with 10 or more species of saltwater fish on most backcountry trips. As we are out having fun catching fish we will be seeing lots of wildlife up close and personal near the boat with Dolphins, Manatees, and many types of water birds on every trip. Here are some pictures of clients from the last couple weeks trips with some beautiful Redfish and Seatrout caught here with me on Mosquito Lagoon and Backcountry.

Spring has arrived early this March 2011 in East Central Florida, water levels are up on Mosquito Lagoon as well as water temperatures. Redfish schools have spread out through the flats among the islands in the northern Lagoon with the higher water. Schools of bait fish are starting to return from the south and along with them migrating game fish coming back into our backcountry area. We are also having a great early spring Seatrout bite, along with Bluefish, Ladyfish, and also a few Flounder. The backcountry fishing will only get better as calender spring finally arrives and the mixed bag fishing will get into full swing. A couple of pictures from 2 recent charter trips, Richard with a great redfish from his trip with his friend Jim, they caught quite a few good reds on their day. Other picture is Brian and Otto with a Redfish double, also from a great trip with several Reds.
Come fish with me on beautiful Mosquito Lagoon for flats fishing, we will target Redfish and Seatrout. This type of sight fishing can be challenging and very rewarding when you hook up with a drag pulling Redfish,or Trout.

December is almost here and I have had some great trips during the end of November 2010 on Mosquito Lagoon Florida. On a charter with cousins Frank and Joe from West Palm Beach and Pennsylvania respectively we caught 10 Redfish including the 30” beauty Frank is holding in the picture, also caught several Seatrout along the way. On another trip a few days later Donovan and his friend Doug from Daytona Beach caught 6 big Reds along with 8 more smaller ones. Here is a picture of them with a double they landed at the same time on this chilly windy cold front day.

We have had an early October cool spell here in East Central Florida and it feels great after the long hot summer of 2010, the water temps have cooled to the mid 70’s and the water is beginning to clear, as it always does this time of year when the temperature drops. Redfishing has been great on Mosquito Lagoon, on a recent charter trip with Phil and Craig from New England we caught 13 Reds and a few Seatrout with one of the better Redfish held in the picture below. On a recent Edgewater Indian River backcountry trip with Todd and his family from Kentucky, we caught many Seatrout, Ladyfish, Jacks, Snapper, and more. Pictured is Todd’s cute 9 year old who caught the most fish on our trip with her biggest Ladyfish of the day.

Summer is coming to an end here in East Central Florida and we are looking forward to cooling autumn temperatures after a long hot spell. Fishing has remained good with Redfish and Seatrout being my usual targets on Mosquito Lagoon and also in the Edgewater Backcountry. Fall Redfish patterns are similar to summer with the exception of higher water levels which move Redfish to flats that have been too shallow and now have a good water level for us to fish them. Here are a couple of pictures with great Redfish from 2 charters this week. Visiting from New Jersey was 8 year old Mary Jane who was along on a charter with her parents, she is holding her 30” Redfish which was live released moments after the picture was taken, Mary Jane caught 4 of the 6 Reds caught on this trip, also caught were several nice Seatrout. The second picture is client Jim, who was here on vacation with his wife Lynne all the way from Denver, he is holding his 32” Redfish, 1 of 3 Reds that we caught along with trout, flounder, jacks, ladyfish, and more in the Edgewater Backcountry while on one of my mixed bag trips.

On a great charter fishing trip on Mosquito Lagoon recently with my client Kelly, her husband, & their friend, we stalked a school of jumbo Redfish, while they were tailing, we caught up with them and Kelly hooked up and caught this 44” Red, on 10 lb test spin tackle, estimated weight 29 pounds, using the length times girth formula. Kelly also caught this 27” Seatrout which weighed almost 7 pounds. To further show up the guys on the boat, she also caught this 31” Redfish at 11.5 pounds. We are still having fun Edgewater Indian River Backcountry trips with lots of easier fishing type action, lots of Jack Crevalle and Ladyfish with Trout and Black Drum in the mix also.

We are always having fun hunting for Redfish when fishing on Mosquito Lagoon. Pictured are my friend and client Randy and his son Scott showing off the 30” Red that Scott caught fishing with me on the flats. We caught 6 Reds while sight fishing a school on a beautiful, calm, Mosquito Lagoon morning. The other picture is Jake from North Carolina and his 5 pound Black Drum caught on one of my Edgewater Backcountry mixed bag trips. Also caught were 3 other Drum along with Seatrout, Bluefish, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, and more. Summer is coming soon with its picture perfect calm mornings, and light warm breeze, then our cooling afternoon sea-breeze. Fishermen and fish alike will be enjoying our wonderful, East Central Florida, Indian River, and Mosquito Lagoon salt water backcountry.
I offer Mosquito Lagoon Flats Fishing trips for Redfish, Seatrout, & Black Drum .This type of sight fishing can be challenging and very rewarding when you hook up with a drag pulling Redfish, Drum, or Trout. Good for experienced anglers or the less experienced anglers looking for a new fishing challenge. I also offer Indian River Backcountry Fishing trips, that is mixed bag fishing for Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Bluefish, Snapper, & many more saltwater fish. On the average Backcountry trip we catch between 10 and 15 (or more) different species of saltwater fish.You never know what will bite with this type of fishing, mainly drift fishing while free lining live shrimp on light tackle make for lots of rod bending and drag pulling. Fun for experienced anglers and an easy way for less experienced anglers to be successful at catching lots of fish.
MY BOAT COMFORTABLY ACCOMMODATES 1 TO 4 ANGLERS
Located close to DAYTONA BEACH, NEW SMYRNA BEACH and ORLANDO, FLORIDA. Feel free to contact me at any time with questions you may have about my fishing charters.

Sight fishing for redfish on the flats of east central Florida continues to be excellent. Having shots at hundreds of redfish per day is the norm. Many of these fish are tailing throughout the day. There are a variety of small baitfish showing up in the lagoons but the small mullet have yet to arrive. As soon as they do, the trout fishing should improve dramatically. With water temperatures approaching the 80 degree mark, it should not be long before this happens.
Steve joined me on a cloudy buy calm Sunday morning recently. We arrived at our first spot to find redfish tailing in every direction. It didn't take long for him to hook up with one of them.
Monte spent several days fly fishing with me during that week. The winds were less than perfect but the redfish and drum were plentiful and feeding. An olive colored worm fly got the most bites.
Javier used a DOA shrimp in watermelon/clear holographic to fool several tailing redfish on his trip to Mosquito Lagoon.
Doug took shots at dozens of redfish with both the fly and DOA shrimp on his trip to Mosquito Lagoon. Unfortunately, neither landed in quite the right spot and he ended up getting shut out.
The following day, Steve had a couple fish eat the watermelon DOA shrimp but the came unbuttoned soon after. We spent most of the day working on fly casting and hit one more spot ahead of an approaching storm cloud. With no sun to help us see them, we ran over several dozen big trout lying in some shallow sand holes but Steve landed one of them on the DOA. It was nice to see some large trout that made it through the winter freeze.
With the winter cold fronts now behind us, we are looking forward to the calm winds of summer. As the schools of baitfish return, the trout, ladyfish and jack crevalle will provide plenty of action along the deeper edges of the flats. A 1/4 ounce jig head with a 3" DOA CAL tail worked in these areas can result in a variety of species.

The past week I had several charters with some family trips and children, so it was the perfect time to hit the Edgewater Backcountry for mixed bag fishing. These trips each had catches of 25 to 50 or more small schooling Bluefish which are here with the winter’s cold water, which has been between 56 and 58 degrees F. Also in the mixed bag catch on each trip were several Sheepshead, Seatrout, small Redfish, Ladyfish, and a few Black Drum, and more. Great fast action and fun on light spin tackle. Pictured is a pretty little 14 spot Redfish and a nice Black Drum. With the winter schooling pattern for Mosquito Lagoon Redfish in place, sight fishing for Reds on the flats will be the main tactic for the rest of the winter.
I offer Mosquito Lagoon Flats Fishing trips for Redfish and Seatrout, for the novice or experienced angler alike. I also offer Indian River Backcountry Fishing trips, that is mixed bag fishing for Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, and more. On the average Backcountry trip we catch between 10 and 15 (or more) different species of saltwater fish. This type of trip can be extremely entertaining for beginners or experienced anglers. My boat accommodates from 1 to 4 anglers. Located close to DAYTONA BEACH, NEW SMYRNA BEACH and ORLANDO. Feel free to contact me at any time with questions you may have about my fishing charters.

September 12th, 2009/Report
Fall is starting to be felt in the air. The past several weeks you could just feel the ever so slight changes of the weather in your bones. Labor Day comes and goes, kids go back to school, football starts! It just sets things in motion for things to come. Not much but just enough to sense that things are very soon going to be turning a bit. Go from fall to winter fishing the flats in no time at all. Fishing has been very steady throughout the entire lagoon systems - both on the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon. Water levels have come up to the high point they were back in May when we had all the spring time rains that came through central Florida. With this it has opened up quite a bit of new feeding grounds for fish.
Most fish on the flats of the Mosquito Lagoon the past several weeks that were in one location have moved into other shallow flats that until now were inaccessible due to low water conditions. They too(fish)are taking advantage of the rising water situation as to feed on and in new territory. As if a fall sale on mullet, crabs and bait fish has happened and they all rush into the new stores to fight for position. Watch for activity. As always good signs in an area you are interested in trying are these: Bait fish busting the surface or being chased. Birds feeding aggressively in the area or sitting there patiently watching the area to feed. Good ambush points with bait in it...Corners or bends in the water with good flow of current. Drop offs near that same area. Of course the obvious, feeding fish. Adjust your tactics after deciding what is going on there. Bait busting at the surface, try top water. Good flow and activity around, structure or bars, try soft plastics. Deeper drop offs and good bait movement, try plugs/hard lures or plastics. The best way to see what works is not to be afraid to switch and mix it up a bit. If you do not try new ways at fishing you will never know if they may work. This goes the same for trying a new area. If you see an area and say "Man I want to fish that, it looks like it may be good", then try it. Two things will happen; you will like it or not. After that you will have added a new page to your resume of knowledge on the water you fish.
Nearly most all of the fishing I have been doing the past several weeks have been done with using artificial baits/lures. Redfish have been hitting anything from D.O.A.'s Terror Eyz, Shrimp, Bait Buster to a Sasuke 75 Shad to the ole' faithful Skitter Walks. Sight fishing the redfish has been great very early in the morning to catch a glimpse of tailing fish and then if you can stay in clear water and sky conditions search for them on the flats throughout the morning time. Remember, stalk them with stealth and patience. Take your time and get to them in a good position. Place a soft plastic in front of them with a soft presentation. Fishing for them(and other species)along the mangroves/oyster bars can be just as productive. Casting up into and along the shoreline of oyster bars, sandbars and the tree lines have produced quite a very large variety pack. You have trout, jacks, ladyfish, whiting, snook, reds, snapper all mixed in. This makes for a fun filled day of fishing.
Now let's talk tarpon. Tarpon have been seen rolling and crashing the surface all over the entire Indian River Lagoon System and Mosquito Lagoon. Some days they seem to be extremely active and others seem to be far and few. Getting them to bite can be just as tricky as getting into position to cast to them. With a few hook ups here and there using mostly D.O.A's cast onto there path and letting it sink a second or two then a steady retrieve can make for some great fun and action. Some fish are in the 15-30 lb range and then there are the ones in the 50-100 lb range. With these fish choose your gear accordingly along with the leaders...Fluorocarbon leader(12-18 inches)from at least 25lb to 40lb and then for the bigger tarpon go up to the 80 lb leader if needed. Braid in the 15 to 20 lb range should work well as with the rod and reel matched. I use a Stradic 4000/6000 with a St. Croix Tidemaster depending on the fish I am throwing at. As always please handle all of your fish with great care and caution for an optimal survival rate.
As always I look forward to seeing you on the water. Tight lines and bent rods!

May 29th, 2009
May is a time of year here on the Mosquito Lagoon when life comes to life and the action takes off like a rocket soaring to the sky! I mean things start to explode into action - big action. Bait fish are moving through the area by tens of thousands, birds are showing up by the hundreds, fish are moving over the grass flats feeding vigorously, manatees are in large numbers along with dolphins and so on and so on. It is the prelude to an awesome summer and fall of fishing here. No other place on the planet does this happen like it does here on the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River.
After last weeks rains the area has changed, a metamorphosis to say. Spring has fully turned into summer and out of this has arisen a wealth of great fishing. Early morning the past several days has been on fire if you are able to get to the right spots before first light to see this happen before your eyes. By right spots I mean they are really almost every where. Fish, all reds, trout, tarpon and snook have reached out to explore their new feeding grounds. Like kids on christmas morning. Let me tell you, they are happy, they are excited and they are feeding. As the morning goes by the fish seem to be getting more aggressive as noon approaches.
Trout are hitting both top water and pig fish at early day light along grass flats with drop offs and ledges. Then as the day goes by plastics worked along the white holes will produce strikes with them. Redfish are tailing and feeding along banks and shorelines leading into new territory that for months was inaccessible due to the extreme low water conditions out here. Reds are hitting soft plastics and a well placed shrimp for those who want to sight fish them. Reds this week have also been taken by fly, crab and shrimp patterns work the best. Of course a live mullet or mud minnow will always grab the attention of a beautiful gator trout and a stout redfish. Look for those sand holes within grass flats. Smaller tarpon have been seen and caught around moving water with a good amount of bait fish near them. Snook have been moving into the area as the water temps begin to rise into their realm of enjoyment. Pinfish,live shrimp and soft plastics work well for snook. As the summer comes on the snook bite will turn into great action. Tarpon are going after smaller plastics worked slow. As always year around out here on the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River remember ...Stealth, patience and distance will be the key to your success.
It is no wonder at all why Florida is the fishing capital of the world. Along with the Mosquito Lagoon being the Redfish Capital Of The World what a great combination. There is no other place on this planet that the fishing is so good and more people enjoy this fabulous activity by the thousands or even hundreds of thousands each and every year continuously. Or at least not without spending thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars to get there along with long and grueling travel conditions. Florida is a close and basically it is a fun destination to go to for family fun and enjoyment. There are so many things to do also along with Florida's great fishing and water resources - great beaches, excellent sites to see, culture events, fine dining, wildlife, and just so much more that I could go on for ever. Or for anything at all just to get outside for a while and take it all in. So for a world class fishing experience of a lifetime this is no doubt the place to be and to catch that memory of a lifetime. I hope to see each and every one of you on the water.
Tight Lines!

No, Not Tales, Fish Tails! That's right redfish are tailing every where on the Mosquito Lagoon. The reds are starting to bunch up in their winter styles and getting out early you can see these wonders of nature tailing in the shallows of the Mosquito Lagoon at day break and beyond. The main key with these fish are as always to approach them with extreme caution and patience.
The winter or cooler months of fishing with me are my favorite times to fish out here. The weather is PERFECT! Shallow water, well I love it too! I go light...VERY LIGHT! This alone for one will allow you to draft less and two can make polling a lot easier. The majority of the fish my clients and myself are catching are in 10-15 inches of water and I am able to pole up to within just a few feet of them. The best choices for baits are a nice live shrimp, blue crab or even if you have some lady fish from the summer time. Make your casts count. The fish in shallow waters like we have now can tend to be very spooky.
The other fish I have been seeing and catching in good numbers are BIG TROUT! I mean BIG! A few have been 30 plus inches. These fish need to be approach with stealth plus to get them. Top water and live mullet are your best choices. Please handle these beauties with extreme caution so they may be released with ease.
Call today to book the trip of a lifetime with me. I look forward to seeing you on the water.

We went out on pastime princess mid-july. It was alittle crowded with 70 on board. Small snapper and puppy sharks were about it.A triggerfish won the pot about 3 lbs. One nice king caught by a mate floating a whole sardine away from the boat!The captain stopped his tactics so as not to upset his paying guest. I will go again during the week to avoid such a crowd.It was still a good day out. |

Now that the weather is cooperating and the water is warming up. The fishing appears to be getting better. The Dolphin and wahoo are starting to bite. The snapper bite is getting a little better and a few groupers are being caught. The cobes are getting into our area also. On a charter a couple of days ago we had eight legal snapper, with three being 12-14lbs. Also three grouper and a assortment of smaller lanes snapper, sea bass, trigger fish and vermillion snapper. Going out this weekend looking for a cobia or two. Taking my son Adam and a couple of his friends. Good fishing!

Capt. Mike Mulholland with the Pastime Princess charter boat said on Sunday, Capt. Thomas Wagner skippered the boat to approximately 14 keeper grouper and a 31-pound red snapper caught by Ron Ness from Edgewater. Capt. Mulholland said the trip was 41 miles offshore, nearly as far north as St. Augustine and they fished from 135 feet to 180 feet out, targeting rock piles with live pinfish, squid and sardines. He said the live pinfish did best and most of the grouper were in the 130-foot range.
On Monday they stayed closer to Ponce Inlet and got red snapper, redeyes, triggerfish and flounder in about 120-feet. Capt. Mulholland said the water temperatures were about 68 degrees near St. Augustine, a few degrees warmer than it has been down this way, which may explain why the bite has been better to the north recently. |

Dreg a four letter word to me. Why do officals think the can play mother nature. Beach erosion is natural and would replinsh it self in time if its natural dunes hadn't been takin over by big money condos. Insted of letting mother nature work people decide to spent millions of tax payers money (usually nobody who could afford condos on the beach)to refurbish snow birds(who dont pay taxes here) sandy beach view. Just to be swept to sea again. Sorry I just dont understand it. Dregging in the ICW in new symrna beach area has provide lots of no catch days for me. Murky dirty water all those fish have to find new places to go for awhile.
I just dont understand why they dreg,or why they do it during the mullet run. This should be some of the best fishing in central florida. But big money dont care about the environment. Just an a/c'd beach view they can enjoy from inside.
If anyone knows how to stop this waist of tax money please let us fisherman know who to call to set up petition. thanks keep fishing and remember mother nature knows what shes doing |

fishing in callalisa creek this summer has been pretty slow. Or should I say small. Mostly juvenille reds and trout(as always plenty of ladyfish and jacks and of course pinfish.)and a couple 10" flounder. So I have been taking the canoe to Hiles boat ramp and Bethune. This has been more productive. Slot size reds all over the flats,plus some nice trout. Most catches have been early morning or sunset. Mid day has produced many large catfish on live mullet I rarely catch them on live bait.
Well this last few days ophellia has been making it tough to find the mullet and fish but still trying. a few rain bursts here and there are ok in this temp. Oh yeah black drum are in shallow creeks too! My brother and i were back in websters creek on a bend at full tide starting to drop. about a 4 foot hole on a dead shrimp(nibbled to death by pinfish)and caught two nice keeper black drum. well that was my highlight the past couple weeks.

Thursday night was the new moon and high tide coming in. Just before dark I was fishing a doa (clear with red dots shrimp)at the wall on callalisa creek.A couple a trout was the prize. A little small but still fun. Another guy was fishing live shrimp and caught a 20" snook so I switched to shrimp olny to catch a few more trout(not a bad thing though). Friday morning I played hooky from work once I realized the weekend was forecast 20 to 25 mile hour wind. Not good for me to fish in. Anyway the fish didn't want to bite my lures or live shrimp (No mullet anywhere to be seen). Bye noon the tide started to change so did the wind.(5 to 15)so needless to say i'm home typing this) Well good luck to all. And hope you pepole who dont have boats can find some good fishin spots too. |

callalisa creek fishing was slow last week.A cold front moved through and the fish slowed down.
this weekend(3/5 to3/7/05) was better the sun came out and the wind was calmer. the trout are still biting good. shrimp and soft baits have been good for me. Still no luck with the reds for me.Think the front slowed them down.
Well this week another front is moving in probably less fishin time for me.Maybe spring will get here after this front.Then the fish will be hitting everything.
GOOD LUCK
