Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

August 2008

Mosquito Lagoon's August Redfish Update

I've found a couple of schools this August in the deeper waters around shoals in the Mosquito Lagoon and Northern part of the Indian River. The summer of 2008 has proven to be an excellent fishing year in both the Mosquito Lagoon and further south toward Port Canveral and Sebastian Inlet. Getting up early ad hitting the water before dawn has been the key to a successful day as summertime boaters and anglers have been floodin the flats as soon as the sun rises. It takes this kindof dedication and tactic to assure a successful day catching redfish on the Mosquito Lagoon.

I was poling up in the Pole and Troll zone of the Mosquito Lagoon the other day and took a temperature reading of 92 degrees in the flats. WOW! Ninety Two Degrees! I was suspicious about the temperature when we saw no bait nor fish until we looked in deeper waters with a little tidal movement which are not the best for sightfishing. We caught a three nice redfish and a handful of spotted seatrout to make a morning of it. I pursuaded my anglers to try the beaches the next morning where we caught five tripletail to fourteen pounds, jumped a nice tarpon and landed another tarpon in the eighty pound range. We quickly jumped offshore and landed a nice 26 pound kingfish to boot. What a fun two of days with a couple of great anglers!

August 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.

August Sightfishing Forecast and Report: Mosquito Lagoon

Sightfishing can be excellent in August but the winds often start drifting in toward the end of the month as September approaches. Look for early morning fishing to be the best bet as the fish are more active during the cooler temperatures of early morning still. We've been using several different brands of softbaits and the ones with the scents seem to be producing the most fish. Don't discount using topwaters early on as the fish are usually very active in the wee morning hours. If the waters stay clear and the winds remain calm look for another productive month in August of2008.

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.

God Bless,

Captain Richard Bradley

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
