Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

Mosquito Lagoon's July Redfish Update

I don't know if I beleive in global warming but this July of 2008 is proving to be one of the hottest years that I can remember. Hey it's Florida, it's supposed to be hot in the summer! While the fishing has been good in the early mornings on the Mosquito Lagoon, I've tried to steer my costomers a little further south toward Port Canvaveral for a day of excellent fishing off the beaches. Tarpon have been roaming the beaches and big king mackeral are stricking live baits and dumping spools. I love this type of fishing and it's difficult to be pursuaded back to Mosquito Lagoon during this hot summer month when 2008's temperatures seem as hot as ever. Several of my guide friends look to the Florida Keys in the summer take advantage of the cooler tidal movements, it might be wiser to call Captain Gina and get a report on what I'm doing around Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet before setting your mindset on Mosquito Lagoon.

The Lagoon is progressively turning into a morning catch and many of my anglers are booking half days to catch thier limit in redfish before the fully rises and the mercury breaks into the 90 plus degree mark. Guys, bring a white colored tee or cotton button-down because the summer sun will cook even the lightest colored columbia shirts and tees. Girls, well bring your bikini and you'll get a tan and stay cool while you fish. Did I mention the mosquitos?

July 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
