New Smyrna Beach Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in New Smyrna Beach
The fall/winter transition has the redfish, black drum and gator trout absolutely fired up! We've had multiple trips now with 10 trout over 20". The cooler temps have the water clearing up and the sight-fishing on fly and spin will continue to be stellar through the winter. The best trips seem to be leading up to the full moon, like we just recently had as it stages up the big trout on the flats and encourages the black drum and redfish to school.

Fishing report 11/11/22 :
Had the pleasure of fishing two great clients, Jorge and Rob. We started the day out free lining live mullet and jumbo shrimp to snook and rolling tarpon. After a couple missed hook ups we lost the moon over the horizon and the tarpon stopped rolling so we headed off into the back country. Searching out protected holes and cuts we started catching numbers of slot trout, redfish, and small snook on both live shrimp and artificials. Around noon we made our way back out of the back country, as the wind increased, and found safe...

Around noon we made our way back out of the back country, as the wind increased, and found safe harbor in a waterfront bar and grill to refuel for the afternoon fishing. Post chargrilled oysters and rum runners, Jorge and Rob returned to the flats to catch a handful more trout and redfish to bring the days total to somewhere around 20 trout, 7+ redfish, and 3 snook.

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

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.

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 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...
