Mosquito Lagoon & Indian River
April 27, 2008
Last week, I fished only one day, due to poor weather.  Thursday, my wife joined me on the Mosquito Lagoon.
Despite high winds much of the day, we spotted a decent number of redfish once the clouds passed through.
Nine redfish and one drum was our final tally.  Morning Glory and Watermelon Seed DOA CALs were the colors
of the day.

































































This week, I was joined on Tuesday by Joe and his two sons. We saw a lot of redfish but most of the fish never
saw the lures. After striking out with the reds, we tried trout fishing for a while but only landed four. The last hour
was spent casting to some more redfish but the guys were blanked again.

Wednesday, honeymooners Rusty and Becky joined me for a day of some poor weather but great fishing. We
began the morning trying to catch some early season tarpon. We saw a few but did not get a bite. The rest of
the morning, we endured some extremely high winds but managed to land nine drum and two redfish.  Becky
shows off her first drum while Rusty is busy fighting one of his own.


































































Thursday, Wayne, a central Florida resident, treated British angler Shawn to his first trip to Mosquito Lagoon.
Shawn landed the first two redfish of the day and then hooked up with a nice trout on a 4 inch DOA CAL in
Arkansas Glow.























The guys hooked up with three more trout even larger but each one managed to throw the hook before we
landed them. We saw hundreds of redfish throughout the day but they refused to eat unless the presentation
was perfect. Wayne finally fooled this redfish that was following a large stingray.






















Friday, I went searching for tarpon and snook. I found plenty of both. The tarpon were a bit smaller than I had
hoped for but most of the snook I saw were much larger than I expected. The tarpon, which are notoriously
finicky, were feeding well. Using a 3 inch DOA holographic shrimp, I jumped five and landed three. I had bites
from more than a dozen others that did not get hooked. On the other hand, many of the snook showed little
interest in eating. I caught two, missed a few other bites, and had one in the 15-20 pound range  weave my line
through a maze of tree branches before breaking off. All of the bites came on the holographic shrimp.
