October 23rd, 2007 - Orlando Florida Saltwater Fishing Charter Report

The Mosquito Lagoon here in the New Smyrna Beach area has been producing good numbers of red fish and seatrout. The mullet run is in full force and live mullet being thrown out will work great. Fly fishing the Mosquito Lagoon with a mullet pattern fly this time of year is your best bet. Sight fishing the back country waters of the Indian River is at its prime in the Titusville and Cocoa Beach areas as well.

Fish along creek mouths and banks early for nice redfish. Stop well ahead of the area you want to fish and work your way in there. Patience is always the key to fishing out here. Try using top waters early too for large spotted seatrout. Work them in a wounded pattern slowly but not stopping them completely. Remember no bait fish just stops for a predator. Common sense.

As the day progresses switch to soft baits. One of my favorites is the D.O.A. White Nite Glow with a slow retrieve. Letting the bait drop to the bottom. This is always a great way to pick up a flounder or two as well.

As always be sure to practice catch and release.
