Get yourselves ready for some of the finest fishing of the year, it’s OCTOBER! The days are becoming shorter and the evenings are certainly cooling off earlier. These conditions alone will improve the disposition of our local game fish. To be clear, the fishing this summer was very good most of the time. However, October typically offers better and more consistent feeding activity from our stocks of redfish, spotted seatrout and even black drum.Brevard - Mark WrightOct 1st, 2015
September is full on spawning season for our local redfish population. While more spawning activity occurs in the Mosquito Lagoon … Brevard - Mark WrightSep 10th, 2015
June in the Lagoon; I love the sound of this. Though it’s middle of the year we’ve had to deal with a few weak cold fronts in May and lots-o-wind! At least it’s been a comfortable temperature and the fish have not seemed to mind the blowing all that much.Brevard - Mark WrightJun 1st, 2015
Happy New Year, All! Its real winter by now and unless we’re having odd weather patterns you can bet the cold fronts are lining up. The biggest key to fishing the cold season is timing your fishing trips between the cold fronts. Brevard EditionDec 30th, 2014
December usually triggers one major change in my choices of fishing lures. Don’t think I’m setting aside my trusted favorites entirely. I’ll still be throwing my Exude RT Slugs for a while yet, but at 5 inches in length they will soon be longer than I like for our cool water period. However, the Exude Dart is nearly an inch shorter with a slimmer profile. This lure can be manipulated by the angler to approximate an injured minnow/mullet or a live shrimp, though it actually resembles neither.Brevard EditionDec 19th, 2014
Last month I mentioned how important it can be to get an early start during summer’s scathing heat. I truly enjoy starting before the first rays of light have a chance to cast a shadow on the water. This early morning pattern is often exciting and the fish aggressive, but it also is relatively very short lived, especially if the water is flat and calm.Brevard EditionAug 25th, 2014
There is a lot going on the Mosquito Lagoon even in August. Sure, it’s hotter than the hinges of Hades, but we have ways to combat this!Brevard EditionJul 30th, 2014
