The mid section of the Mosquito Lagoon was my destination. Arriving first there makes all the difference. I started out on the furthest point towards the channel about 300 feet away from the pole troll zone and slowly, I mean slowly worked my way into the area. I almost always use my push pole.. this is 100 times better than trolling always. Not only is it a better approach, but a better thing to do for the grass. The winds were west so I used this to my benefit. As I approached the area that went from 4 feet to 2 - 1 feet you could see action everywhere! The mullet were there in full force as an invasion team! Of course on the first cast (using a Rapala Skitter Walk Top water Mullet Pattern) I had a small pop... this was followed by an explosion that caught me of guard. A few minutes later came a nice 28 inch plus trout! A few more cast later came a redfish. Then another and another. I worked my way along the backside of the bar to the other end of the zone using the wind at my advantage. I stayed about 300 feet off the bar side (the south bar) working it parallel. By the time I had gotten to the other side I had caught over a dozen nice fish... All on top water. Later in the day I moved towards the northern section, north by the new Smyrna Beach area. Here I slowly worked soft soft plastics and caught a couple more red fish and smaller trout before calling it a day. My day today ended by 10a.m. This goes to show you the early bird gets the fish or trout or red fish! Of course I also beat the heat... On a side note talked with some fellow captains and they said the Cocoa Beach fishing reports were going strong. Tarpon and red fish are thick along the Indian River. Port Canaveral Fishing reports have been epic. I am being told that the tarpon are strong along the beach and the bite.
