Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

Here is our fishing report for Mosquito Lagoon. The Mosquito Lagoon area is part of the Indian River and is located between Titusville and Daytona Beach. In the shadow of the Launch pads at Kennedy Space Center, This waterway is the worlds Destination for great Redfish. While there are many species to fish for in the lagoon such as sea Trout, Jack Crevalle, and Mackerel. The Redfish is the pinnacle fish to catch.

Fishing here is good year around for any of the species, with the spring to fall being the absolute best.

Fishing Report Spring 2007

  Early spring can be one of the most magical times on Mosquito Lagoon. Getting out early before sunup and nice calm water is the most exciting thing to see. This time of year the best time to catch nice trout will be early mornings, and late afternoons after our rains. Fronts coming through will make conditions tough at times and make the water murky and the fish tough to spot.

  Redfish on Mosquito Lagoon will be best caught during twilight hours and out of the heat of the day. Find them around submerged points from shallow flats, around spoil islands and drop offs. Spring patterns will require long casts, and patience, but the pay off is great. Huge Trout can be caught early also around the same areas, and they will move toward shallow flats as the sun gets up.

  This is also the time of year to find ladyfish feeding heavy and hard around noon in open water areas, and they can be a fly fisherman’s dream. If you are planning on coming down to fish Mosquito Lagoon and are looking to fight a few nice redfish, tangle with some trout, you will not be disappointed. Most days when the weather cooperates it is a wonderful adventure.

  Tackle to use this time of year can include topwater lures like a small Top Dog by Mirror Lure, 4 inch Chug Bug by Storm Lures, and for plastics one of my personal favorite is a white Zoom Super Fluke. The trout and reds will love these. Depending on the winds, long and careful casts will determine your success. With some chop on the water, you will have better luck.

  We look forward to fishing with you and guiding you to some nice Reds and Trout. No matter if you want traditional tackle, or want to wade with a fly rod, this adventure is right up your alley if you want some calm excitement. Be sure to check the rest of our site for other information and give us a call when you are ready to go fishing.

God Bless and Tight Lines till next time,
