The cold front has came through the southeast and brought cooler weather to New Smyrna Beach. With that cold front brought changing winds causing for a drop in water level throughout Mosquito Lagoon. The cooler lower water conditions throughout the New Smyrna Beach area has grouped the fish up and made them a little frisky. Look for the trout, redfish and black drum holding on the mud flats and oyster edges throughout New Smyrna Beach backwaters. It will not be that much different in Mosquito Lagoon except they will hold more in the sandy pot holes or shell bottom. Shrimp, finger mullet and small soft plastics have been a good choice of bait both in the north and south Mosquito Lagoon.
