This past week, we had a shift in winds changing to the south/southwest, causing an increase in water depth throughout the area. The higher water, coupled with warmer water temperatures, made for a little bit more difficult of a bite in the Mosquito Lagoon and Halifax River.
It seems as though Mother Nature likes to keep us on our toes here in Central Florida by sending us a little cold snap. We will be dealing with some windy conditions and cool temperatures the next few days. After this front moves through and the winds subside, the water levels should lower, allowing the fishing to get back to normal. Look for the redfish and trout to be holding in the sand holes throughout the lagoon. A slow presentations will be key, whether it’s artificial or natural baits.
Good luck and stay warm!
