Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

Mosquito Lagoon's May Fishing Reports and Updates for Redfish, Sea Trout and Sight Fishing

Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

May is here and the redfish in the Mosquito Lagoon are chewing hard. We've had several days of double digit redfish numbers and many of them are well into the twenty pound range. May is still a transition month before the hot summer days of June and July set in and you still have a chance to catch a big redfish before summer break. As the Lagoon warms and kids get out of school the Mosquito Lagoon typically becomes crowded and fishing pressure increases rapidly as hot weather summer vacationers take advantage of the warming trend and summer break.

Until school gets out in late May you can expect some great fishing and even some isolation from other anglers pursuing redfish on the clear shallow water flats in the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon. One pair of anglers found fish lately in the Pole and Troll zone on the eastern shore near Tiger shoals. "We landed eight redfish before 9:00am and a couple of real pretty sea trout too." explains an angler after a day with Lagooner Fishing Guides.

Mosquito Lagoon Trout Report

May 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.

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
