Happy New Year first of all!!! The new beginning of this year is turning out to be  very well. The north end of the Mosquito Lagoon has been on fire. With the weather being just perfect for fishing and just not fishing in the morning. This is the time of year you can stay out there all day long and enjoy this beautiful mid Florida winter. With water temps in the 60's-70's and air temps in the 70's the shallow water fishing is getting at its peak. Water levels have also been great. Fish shorelines and creeks for numerous fish. Large trout are moving through the area along with large schools of reds. I have been catching most of my fish on the Berkley Gulps/top water combination. These baits are great. You can also use a live or cut mullet and fresh shrimp. Last month there were good numbers of shrimp being caught in the river so this is the ideal bait to use. Just remember to start of early, work it slowly and cover ground. Be quiet, take your time and be considerate to others while on the water. Most of all be safe and try to practice catch and release when ever you can...
