lagoon redfish

We have had some very good fishing this week! The Indian river and Mosquito Lagoon have both been very productive! I encourage everyone to be a little more cautious with the upcoming week due to low water levels! With that being said the best bite has been along shallow water drop offs where anglers can find plenty of nice size redfish cruising in small schools along the edges of sandbars and shallow water flats that have a deeper outside edge. The best way to approach these fish is to push pole or keep your trolling motors set on the lightest speed possible. With the low water and hardly any wind, a quiet approach, with a long cast, and lightweight scented soft plastic such as gulp! with work very well.

For the live bait enthusiast, a free lined live shrimp can be irresistible! The trout bite has seemed to slow for me a little which I believe to be because of the small warm up this week. I highly encourage everyone to please catch and release!
