Lagoon stays good and fish are chewing. Both reds and trout are eating soft plastics top water and cut bait. We are catching near shore lines as the water stays high. Call now and book a trip!

Fishing in mosquito lagoon and around new Smyrna beach has been awesome post hurricane Ian. The cooler temps have the trout moving up on the flats and piling into the "trout holes" while the redfish are getting much more active throughout the day. We are still catching some snook although the size s dwindling for snook on the flats. The dock lights and nighttime bridge fish is still stellar. We are landing alot and over slot snook, bull redfish, and even some lingering tarpon around the 30 pound range. Fall is THE time of year for redfish. Let's go get some!

Well since hurricane Ian we have had very high murky water. But that’s ok because the bite had been good. This time of year is our transition period so that makes the fish spread out. We have been throwing lots of soft plastic swim baits , pop n corks with live shrimp, and some top water as well. Come join the fun and let’s catch some nice reds, trout , snook, and black drum.

The bull redfish are in! The mullet run is in full swing and the bite has been pretty hot from the flats to the beach. We are targeting bull redfish on the flats with light tackle in some areas and there is a consistent bull red bite in the inter coastal and around the jetties. Some snook are in the mix and a good number of tarpon are crashing amongst the schools of mullet. Back in the flats schools of small 5-10 pound black drum are present and they should be consistent throughout the fall.

Water has cooled off a bit and the bite has fired up. A lot of slot and over-slot Redfish up to 40". Trout bite is also getting into full swing. Grouper bite has been good for the last week. Limit of quality fish hitting the deck.

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.

    Steven worked very hard all morning to try to get us on fish. We didn't have a lot of success, but I still feel Steven did a good job for us.

    Trip: Inshore Saltwater Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Taylor was a great captain who was a joy to fish with and put us on the fish. He's an easy going guy who, despite being a younger captain, already has considerable experience in Mosquito Lagoon. He was right on time, the boat was clean and well-organized, and spotted so many fish for us. Taylor is your secret weapon in the Lagoon.

    Trip: Mosquito Lagoon Backcountry

  • ★★★★★
    Five stars warranted. Skilled and personable captain with nice boat and gear, plus the requisite “local knowledge.” Did a half day with trip tailored by the captain to match our specific inshore interests and to maximize fishing time. Had continuous action, and it was fun to see my daughter catch a nice mixed bag of fish species she hadn’t seen. Highly recommend Captain Matt.
