Daytona Beach Fishing Guide
Daytona Beach Fishing Charters



You have reached an archived fishing report from Central Florida Sight
Fishing Charters, I provide light tackle and fly fishing charters on the
saltwater flats of east central Florida. Fish the Mosquito Lagoon and
Indian River near Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Cocoa Beach,
Orlando, and Kissimmee. We target redfish (red drum), spotted seatrout,
and black drum year round. If you are looking for a light tackle fishing
guide near Daytona Beach or the surrounding area, contact me at

Heavy rains the latter part of this week has kept most anglers off the
water. Prior to the arrival of the storms, however, the fishing was good for
tailing redfish on the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon. Georgia angler
Ty, and his son Nick, used a 1/4 ounce DOA shrimp to land several
redfish.





































The seatrout were also cooperative and both father and son landed
numerous fish on three inch DOA CAL tails.

Last week, my wife and I got to spend the day on Mosquito Lagoon.
Heavy cloud cover made the sight fishing tough but we  both caught
redfish on DOA shrimp and 5.5 inch CAL tails.




































Early this week, I made two trips to Mosquito Lagoon. On Monday, I was
joined by my friend Capt. Keith. Using 5 and 7 weight fly rods, we caught
redfish on three different crab/shrimp patterns and missed several more
bites. With the water level still quite high, we spent the rest of the day
exploring some backwater bays. We encountered only a few big trout but
had steady shots at some finicky redfish landing several more before the
day was done.

The following day, Matt and Elmo joined me on their first attempt at sight
fishing in Mosquito Lagoon. The redfish were happy and tailing for the
first few hours of the day. When the clouds rolled in, the sight fishing
became difficult and we switched our attention to trout along the edges of
the flats. Using the DOA Deadly Combo as well as a three inch CAL tail,
my ARC Dehooker got plenty of work releasing a bunch of trout.

The weather will begin to improve tomorrow and with it should come
some good fishing. Small baits are the key to fooling the tailing reds
which is why fly anglers will do well. Size 4 flies in black, olive, and tan
have all been producing bites.
