Florida DaytonaBch NewSmyrna Inshore Saltwater Guide


Recommended Posts

Winter fishing patterns finally came to East Central Florida by late December into February 2015 with water temperatures dropping to mid even lower 50’s, crystal clear water on the flats of Mosquito Lagoon, beautiful dark green color in the deeper spots, schooling Redfish and Seatrout up shallow, with Sheepshead, Snapper, Seatrout and more in the deep holes. Water levels remain higher than normal for our chilly months after an unusually wet late fall and early winter. On colder days we search the flats for schooling Reds with sight fishing techniques, casting select size live shrimp, a winter time food of choice, live finger mullet will also catch them while holding back off the fish when they become skittish. Craig from Sanford, Florida brought his family to fish the flats with me on a chilly morning last week, targeting bigger fish we only caught a few but they were good ones, Redfish from 28” to 33” at 14 lbs, great battles on the 10 lb test spin tackle.

Son McLean with one of the bigger ones which we caught at midday after a beautiful cold morning sun warmed the water up a degree or two and got the fish feeding better........................

My Indian River backcountry fishing trips are always much fun with winter mixed bag catches targeting Seatrout, Sheepshead, Bluefish, Redfish, and always a few more species. As spring arrives the Jack Crevalle and Ladyfish will arrive back in our waters after wintering in south Florida adding more fun target game fish starting in March. Young Dominick and family had a great time recently backcountry fishing with me.........................

Regular clients Richard and Pat from Virginia and Edgewater went out this week catching 8 Redfish in the shallows, we got to see many more schooling Reds in a few spots that were too cleaver for us to catch, but very cool to see them swimming while sight fishing the winter Mosquito Lagoon flats........................

For any UK (or anywhere else) anglers considering a Florida inshore fishing trip, I can highly recommend Capt. Michael Savedow. My wife & I have been out with him the past 3 years and have booked a 2015 trip for Autumn. He knows his fish and his fisheries and has shown us a great time every time. Capt. Mike is as good a skipper as I've ever been out with.

 

Fishing & catching using live bait or lures in shallower (and warmer) waters is a pleasant change from bottom bouncing over deep water wrecks and catching a wide variety of species is always fun.

The Redfish and Seatrout look stunning. I must think about a trip over to Florida.

Tony - our last trip with him had us out before daylight to get fresh bait using a cast net (he did the work) and catching redfish until our arms got tired. Bobbi always beats me with seatrout since they love the fresh shrimp she uses and I stick with artificials which are never as productive but are more fun for me. On the light fixed spool gear, they are a ton of fun to catch.

 

He does a great job of setting up anyone from expert to novice so they can catch fish.
