Florida Inshore Fishing Charters - Fishing Reports - Redfish Guide - Redfishing Guides - Redfish Charters On The Mosquito Lagoon



December 31, 2007 The last day of the year is here. Trout opens back up tomorrow and a cold front is moving through. This did not stop us from going out today. Working the back side of Orange Island in the Northern part of the Lagoon, we saw several fish....However none would bite. We moved up north to the boundary of the park and worked our way back down thru the creeks and oyster bars to the boat ramp. It was here the redfish were lurking. Hanging around the bars. Fishing with a Berkly Gulp shrimp pattern and using just a #4 circle hook....No weights. Work the bait slowly showing a week bait moving thru to be eaten by reds!!! This also proves well for flounder, by moving the bait slow it allows the bait to drop to the bottom....And we all know what lurks on the bottom....yes Flounder!!! The trout bit today was slow but should pick back up later this week. We landed about 12 reds and about 12 trout. Now get out there and start fishing the New Year off right!!! Have a great year and be safe...... Capt. Drew
