| Central Florida Sight Fishing Charters Orlando Florida Flats Fishing Guide Light Tackle and Fly Fishing Mosquito Lagoon & Indian River |
| Orlando Flats Fishing Guide Report for April 18, 2009 High winds have continued to dominate our weather pattern here in central Florida. It has made flats fishing difficult on many days. Redfish, trout, and black drum are still around, if you can find them. Clouds and wind are not the desired conditions for sight fishing the flats. Last week, Josh and Carrie were down from North Dakota and wanted to give flats fishing a try despite a forecast of 20-25 mph winds. We did our best to stay out of the wind but it was nearly impossible. The only tactic we could use was to get as close to the shore as possible. Winds were sustained at 25 with gusts over 35. They managed to catch some nice redfish in horrible conditions. The following morning, the temperature had dropped into the low 40's and it was still quite breezy. Jason and Blake didn't care about the cold and they were hoping the fish felt the same. We encountered plenty of black drum on the flats and a good number of tailing redfish. Jason wound up with a redfish, trout, drum slam with a few extras to spare. Jerry and Alex joined me this week for another breezy day on the flats of Mosquito Lagoon. Jerry hooked a redfish early on and Adam followed up with its twin only to have his shake the hook right at the boat. Using DOA CAL jigs and the DOA Deadly Combo, they caught numerous trout of varying size along the edges of the flats. On a couple solo trips recently, I spent time in some areas I do not normally fish. The fish were not as numerous as I had hoped but they did respond well to a variety of flies and soft plastics. The 3 inch DOA shrimp in rootbeer holographic was eaten by several redfish and large trout. DOA shrimp in FiGi Chix, Glow/Gold Rush, and Morning Glory, also worked well. A small black crab fly was effective on the redfish as well.
