Fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon should be HOT in March if for no other reason than it’s been HOT almost all winter. Yes, there have been a few days where fishing has been less than stellar, but that is fishing; it happens!
Itâs no longer winter in March; however Marchâs weather is still a long way from what I call spring. I fully expect it to be windy with cold fronts moving through our area. With a little luck these fronts will not be severe enough to ruin our good bite.
If water temperatures continue to stay in the mid sixty degree range weâll enjoy hungry and aggressive fish on the shallows. This pattern will only change if we experience an extended run of cold and nasty weather.
Some days weâve been finding redfish and black drum schooling in big numbers only to find them scattered about the next. The good news here is once we find them theyâve been eager to eat.
As usual soft plastic lures have been gracing our hooks and the two lures doing the most damage to Mr. Redfishâs and Ms. Troutâs lips have been the Exude Dart and the Banks Lures Flats Creeper. Both of these lures can be used as a search bait or finesse bait depending on how the angler manipulates them.
Iâm excited to say weâve been catching a lot of âratâ reds this winter. No, Iâm not bragging on catching little fish. Iâm stating we seem to have a bumper crop of two and three year old fish which in time will become trophies. It takes thousands of the little ones to grow hundreds of mature fish and Iâm happy to see so many dink trout and redfish this year!
