Speckled trout are a top choice for anglers targeting the flats of this lagoon. The cooler water temperatures in November will bring the larger “gator” sized trout out of their summertime hiding spots. Noisy top water plugs like the Rapala Skitterwalk in the speckled trout or redfish color patterns are extremely effective in the shallows.captjimrossOct 25th, 2013
It's big redfish season. Schools of giant reds are cruising the lagoon waters and they are usually very easy to catch this month. Anglers can expect to see anywhere from 80 to 200 fish averaging 35 to 45–inches long competing against one another for your bait or lure. captjimrossSep 26th, 2013
Temperature of the Banana River Lagoon will dictate what the fish are going to do this month. Last year the water temperatures soared into the lower 90 degree range during the first two weeks of the month. This pushed the majority of the redfish and trout off the flats and into the deeper residential canals where the water was slightly cooler. captjimrossAug 26th, 2013
Trout, ladyfish, and small crevalle jack should be following schools of glass minnows in the middle sections of this lagoon. Small spoons, jigs, and lipped diving plugs and other small minnow imitators should work very well for these aggressively feeding fish. captjimrossJul 1st, 2013
Trout, redfish, ladyfish and Crevalle jack will continue to make a good showing this month. This coinsides with the increase in both numbers and varieties of baitfish that will become prevalent in this Lagoon. Glass minnows, pilchards, pogies, finger mullet, and ballyhoo will all become food for the previously mentioned predators.captjimrossMay 31st, 2013
