Live bait is easy to catch now that summer vacation is over. Mahi, kingfish, snapper, sailfish, and wahoo are passing through. Mullet run right around the corner.

Mosquito Lagoon is a one of a kind estuary where the Red Fish spend their entire life. Unlike regular reds that migrate and go offshore to breed this particular type is born here and spends its entire life here. With the loss of habitat in the past 8 years the numbers have been going down significantly which is why the catch and release only regulations for the entire Indian River system.

The tarpon bite is at its peak, or very close to it, for the season here in new Smyrna beach. Targeting tarpon off the beach we are catching Bonita, jacks, and kingfish as well. Inshore we are getting some adult tarpon as well as great numbers of medium (22"-26") snook...

The tarpon bite is at its peak, or very close to it, for the season here in new Smyrna beach. Targeting tarpon off the beach we are catching Bonita, jacks, and kingfish as well. Inshore we are getting some adult tarpon as well as great numbers of medium (22"-26") snook as well as some over slots. Moving farther into the back country the sightfishing for redfish is already getting better and the forecast for the fall/winter is looking stellar. Wetter you want to chase giant tarpon off the beach or sight fish redfish and snook. It's a great time to get on the water here.

The winds are not the problem, it is the salinity in the water that is causing it to be difficult to find fish, salinity is 3 x's what it should be due to the lack of fresh water.

Looks like the unseasonal wind is finally subsiding. Mutton snapper has been the highlight bottom fishing. King fish bonitos and mahi are around. I've been finding some Goliath grouper and large snook for the Instagram bros. Mullet run is right around the corner. Then the tarpon, snook, Jack, and blacktip...

I've been finding some Goliath grouper and large snook for the Instagram bros. Mullet run is right around the corner. Then the tarpon, snook, Jack, and blacktip sharks will be abundant. When this happens we always seem to find mahi offshore.

While the fishing for Bull Reds hasn't been what was expected this time of year the other species have been really active. Night fishing at the causeways has been good for Snook with an occasional Red. I had a charter with international customers following Icast last week and they caught 19 species. One was the monster Barracuda which ate another one which was a permit the customer had battled for 5 minutes and had to the boat twice before it became bait. The reds have been there during prime tide times. Still getting some slot size reds in the lagoon on artificial with an occasional trout.

    Todd brought us to the spot and we started catching right away. Got enough to feed 6 the next day. He is always baiting the hook or doing something for us. I would love to go with him again. David Doyle

    The four of us had a great time fishing with Captain Todd! We did a quick morning trip and it was just enough for all of us to catch a handful of fish. Todd was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Would definitely go again!

    Todd was great! Very informative regarding species of fish being caught. He cleaned our fish we kept as well. It was awesome being able to eat fresh catch same day! We will definitely make this an annual event during our beach trip from now on.

    Had a blast with Captain Jeremy. He put us on trout with the first cast and never let up finding the reds for us. He is a hundred percent in on finding the fish for you and knows the waters and methods for catching them. I would recommend his service for new comers and experienced anglers. We will definitely use him again.
