The last few weeks of winter weather are passing by here in the Ponce Inlet and New Smyrna Beach areas. Winter in Florida is a relative term of course and most of our days still have pleasant temperatures. Spring is on the horizon and with the warming temperatures and longer days, our best inlet, nearshore and tidal water fishing season is fast approaching.
Our main target species in the inlet area and nearshore, with the exception of redfish, are generally all warm water species. This includes snook, tarpon, false albacore tuna, and jack crevalle. Our fishery has two main areas that both fish better during separate seasons, spending our winter and spring months in Mosquito Lagoon flats fishing and our summer and fall months fishing the inlet and nearshore areas. This is great for clients as we have a year round fishery and also two distinct fisheries that are both fun and allow us to do new types of fishing throughout the year. After a season of lagoon fishing, it’s exciting to get ready for the coming warm water season. In the mean time, most of our fishing is currently happening just to the south of the Ponce Inlet and New Smyrna Beach area in Mosquito Lagoon. We have been having some great days lately with reds, black drum and sea trout. Sight fishing is the name of the game and we use both fly and light spinning tackle to target these fish. The next couple months of spring transition will bring more exciting fishing, especially for sea trout. Don’t miss experiencing this special part of our fishing seasons in this area of Florida!

February has brought us a number of just right fishing days for the winter season with light winds, perfect temperatures for our winter fishing and some great days on the water. February is our last true winter month in Florida, spring is knocking on the door but the cooler weather fishing we enjoy this time of year will continue through the next couple months of spring.
During the winter, we spend our time fishing in Mosquito Lagoon for the most part. Having three boats and over 20 years of experience as a fishing guide in this area allows me to offer my clients full access to the best fishing in the entire fishery from nearshore, to inlet and tidal areas, to our back country flats fishing in the lagoon. No other guide in this area offers this complete access and knowledge of the entire fishery. The fishing in Mosquito Lagoon is at its peak during the cooler months of the year offering some of the best flats fishing opportunities in Florida for redfish, sea trout and black drum. Fly and spin anglers can sight fish these species on the lagoons shallow flats. We use a number of techniques that allow anglers of all skill levels from advanced to young kids to enjoy flats fishing. As spring knocks on the door, we have our minds on the coming warm weather season in the bay boat around Ponce Inlet, New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach. Soon enough we will once again be targeting tarpon, big snook and redfish in the never ending pursuit to stay on the best fishing this area has to offer throughout the year! As we continue through winter we are enjoying the benefits of a Florida winter with jacket weather in the morning and comfortable conditions in the afternoon. The real benefit of winter though is the quality of fishing. We have some of the best flats fishing we have all year during the winter and it’s not to be missed if you’re into that style of fishing!
Mosquito Lagoon is our flats fishery that lies just to the south of the greater Ponce Inlet, Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach area. Known for its sight fishing for redfish, sea trout and black drum, the water and habitat quality of the lagoon has been looking good with clear water and lots of recent sea grass growth. This has brought on some fun fishing for fly and light tackle anglers, especially during the winter and spring. The season for bay boat fishing near Ponce Inlet and nearshore off Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach is quickly approaching. As we push through the last month of winter fishing and into spring, we will be gearing up for snook, big redfish, jack crevalle and especially tarpon. It won’t be long and dates are already booking for that fishery so be sure to get yours reserved sooner than later! |
