Fishing Mosquito Lagoon

Daytona to Cocoa Beach: surf beaches, Ponce Inlet's jetties and the shallow Indian River Lagoon system, including Mosquito Lagoon, famous for sight fishing big redfish in clear, skinny water.

What's biting now (Fall): Fall is prime time: the mullet run draws snook, tarpon, redfish and bluefish along the beaches and inlets, and big schools of redfish gather on the flats.

Commonly caught in this area: Redfish, spotted seatrout, snook, tarpon, pompano, whiting and black drum.

Also caught here: jack crevalle, ladyfish, croaker, mangrove snapper, blacktip shark, hardhead catfish.

Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

Best baits here6 fish

Redfish (red drum)

Spotted seatrout (speckled trout)

Snook

Tarpon

Pompano

Whiting (kingfish)

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
