Water Clarity Down in Mosquito Lagoon

[Capt. Patrick Rood]

Mosquito Lagoon Redfish caught with the Captain

It looks like Mother Nature is playing games with all of us in Central Florida. The weather temperature has been outstanding this past week with highs in the eighties. The fishing in New Smyrna Beach has been good with a steady redfish and trout bite. The water clarity in the New Smyrna Beach area has also continued to stay clean making for some good sight fishing; however, the increased winds have led to dirtier water conditions in certain regions of the Mosquito Lagoon. Even with less visibility, the bite remains pretty good with redfish, trout and black drum. If you’re looking for cleaner water for site fishing, I’ve found the best clarity to be on the leeward side of the islands throughout the lagoon.

Captain Patrick Rood is a native Floridian that has grown up on the local waters of Mosquito Lagoon, Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach with the passion for inshore fishing. Call (386) 566-1394 to book a trip, or visit Spot N Tail Charters on the web.
