The holiday season has hit us here in the New Smyrna Beach area. With us getting through Thanksgiving and heading into Christmas, the weather is starting to cooperate to set up for some great fishing. Water clarity is getting to where it is supposed to be for this time of year, and the area’s backwaters are starting to lower in depth, as well. As soon as this latest front blows through, the water should drop even more, and this will hopefully group our redfish into pods or schools. The spotted seatrout bite has been pretty good and should continue that way through out Mosquito Lagoon. As the water temperatures continue to drop further, remember to slow down your presentations. Until the fish get used to the colder temperatures, they will be a little Lethargic in the early mornings.
