May2015 Mosquito Lagoon Redfish Seatrout DaytonaBeach NewSmyrna

[Capt. Michael Savedow]

Summer fishing patterns have arrived to the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon Florida, rising water temperatures, mullet and baitfish schools continue streaming in from the south, early mornings alive with surface activity and feeding fish waking up with the light of the day. Both flats fishing for Redfish and Seatrout as well as backcountry variety mixed bag fishing trips are great summer time fishing choices here in the East Central Florida inshore saltwater intracoastal waterway. New clients from Ft Myers FL, Dalton, Richie and Brian had an offshore ocean trip planned but were blown out of that plan by high winds on the ocean, so they went flats fishing with me on the calm protected Mosquito Lagoon, of the 7 Redfish they caught, most were of normal size, near the 18" to 27" slot, however Richie got his largest ever 37" Red with a big light tackle battle......................



.................A few good Seatrout also caught this morning, Dalton with a 23" speck....................



On a recent afternoon backcountry mixed bag trip, a group of first time clients from Pennsylvania had a great fun time, catching Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, and their favorite catches were a few good Black Drum including this nice one caught by Bobbi.................



I put together a 2 day, 2 boat charter with a group of 6 men from Stuart FL, asked my friend Capt Tony to be the 2nd boat. Flats fishing for Redfish on Mosquito Lagoon was the target of the trip, on my boat the guys had a total of 10 Redfish caught on the flats and also a bunch of Seatrout we fished up on artificials, drifting over deeper sea grass beds. Nick had a great battle with a 31" Red, then had a seat to hold it for his photo...........................



....................Stuart caught the biggest Red of the 2 days at 32".......................



Lisa and Mark here on vacation from Wisconsin made a morning with me part of their visit to Daytona Beach, choosing a variety mixed bag backcountry trip, catching all the usual mix of fish, including Black Drum and Lisa with a quality Seatrout........................



Jeff and Brian from Orlando came with me hunting Redfish on the flats, we had success with a few good ones from 28" to 30", here Jeff with a multispot 29" spottail........................



Erick and friends from Georgia did a fun backcountry trip, with some good Black Drum included with the mix of catching.....................
