The past few days have been not optimal for flats fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon. We have had very high winds and then a ton of rain. Friday was about the only decent day to go out...Even then the weather man needs to take some refresher course on predictions. In other words he was off, way off.

Friday started out very overcast and calm. We hit the northern end with the tide coming in at around  mid morning or so. The fishing was slow with a couple of smaller redfish and a few trout. We caught all the fish on Berkley Gulps. We tried to free line a few mullet but the birds were resentless. Work the bait very slow still, remember this when water temps are in the low 60's.

By the time it got closer to noon the winds and rain had picked up to the point to where we were done. The original forecast called for 5 mph winds out of the NW and a high of 68. With a 20% chance of rain...They were so far off it was not funny. The next day, Saturday was like this. My neighbors 6 year old is applying for the job now...Call today to book the #1 Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Guide.
