Last week. Poor weather kept me off the water all but one day. On Wednesday, I fished the Mosquito Lagoon
with Dave from Orlando. We were able to find a school of big redfish in about two feet of water. Using live
pinfish, Dave landed a nice redfish.

















Clouds set in and we lost the school so we went in search of some trout. The bite was slow, but Dave landed a
couple on a Capt. Joe’s rootbeer and pink shredder.

This week, I fished the Banana River three days. The action was slow, to say the least. My Monday charter
cancelled at 4:30 am. As I was ready to fish, I went to the Banana River alone and called Capt. Ron Presley in
the late morning to join me. The big reds which are normally in the river at this time of year have not arrived. We
caught several trout and jacks near the Canaveral locks and saw others catching the same. I poled several flats
looking for reds but only saw one. The widgeon grass has grown to the surface in thick mats in many areas of
the Banana. Fishing in this grass is difficult, if not impossible.

Wednesday, I fished the Cocoa Beach area with Ron Whetstone. The high winds kept us confined to the canals
for most of the day. Ron scored a slam with a trout, redfish and snook on a gulp shrimp/jighead combo. Another
red and several other trout came to the boat. We saw a good number of snook but they were not eating well.

Thursday, I fished with John and his wife Janice from the Chicago area. Again, high winds confined us to the
canals and islands. We saw a fair amount of snook near the mangrove shorelines and had one follow, but not
eat, John’s jig. Only two reds were seen the entire day and the only fish landed was one small trout. We covered
miles of shoreline and used various jigs, jerkbaits, and plugs but the fish were just not cooperating.
