Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

Mosquito Lagoon's November Redfish Update

November of 2008 promises to be great as we are catching redfish on the Mosquito Lagoon despite being blown out for several days prior to this report. When it's rough and windy we are catching many of our redfish on live bait and some on topwaters. If we can locate schools in their post spawn, we have literally hammered the big oversized bull redfish with anything from topwater plugs to dead bait. We've even had a fly fisherman place a fly into the wind and hookup instantly upon falling near the school (don't count on doing that on a regular basis). What a blast as we had to start the boat and follow the thirty five pound fish across the lagoon in hot pursuit.

Every year seems to be getting better and better for redfishing despite the amount of development going on along our Florida Coastlines and 2008 seems to be even better than previous years. Be prepared for our colder weather as the winter sets in later this month bundle up as our Florida mercury will fall into the 50's and 60's often during November. If 2008 proves to be a cold winter look for excellent fishing prior to and after the fronts for both redfish and spotted sea trout.

I hope to see many of you again this winter as always so call Captain Gina and pick a date to go fishing with us before all the good fish are caught.

November Spotted Sea Trout Update

When you can find cooler waters in the Mosquito Lagoon, you'll often find some of the best sea trout fishing in the world. Since the constitutional net ban in the 1990's were implemented the trout fishing has rebounded back and our anglers are catching them by the bucket loads lately. Smaller trout are being caught on the transition edges of the flats where the water drops to 3-6 foot or more with small jigs, shrimp on popping corks or small topwater lures like the tiny torpedo. Larger trout are being caught in the shallower water when the water temperatures get comfortable enough.

Fishing Updates and Information on the Mosquito Lagoon, Florida

Hello,
I'm Captain Richard Bradley and I provide the fishing report for the Mosquito Lagoon and it's adjacent waterways including the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River Lagoon. I've been fishing the Mosquito Lagoon waters and taking my customers fishing there for years and I'm always excited to show anglers about our fantastic fishery on Florida's East Coast. Many of my anglers return year-after-year and request me to take them back to the clear Lagoon known for redfish and trophy spotted sea trout.

I hope to see you on the water soon and may you continue to come to my Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report page often to see when you want to come and fish this extaordinary saltwater estuary on the Space Coast.

Where is the Mosquito Lagoon?

The Mosquito Lagoon is located on the East Coast of Florida in Brevard County and Volusia County. It's located slightly northeast of Orlando and is relatively easy to access from Highway 50 or SR 528 when heading east from Orlando International Airport. We often meet anglers in the Indian River Lagoon and proceed thru the Haulover Canal into the Mosquito Lagoon to set their minds at ease about driving into remote locations on the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. Driving Instructions to one of our Mosquito Lagoon Boat Launches can be found on Haulover Boat Ramp which is between the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon
