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.
Summer August Sightfishing Forecast and Report: Mosquito LagoonSightfishing 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.
