Fishing Charters in New Smyrna Beach
Mosquito Lagoon is the best place for fishing all year long, but when the water temperature drops, fish group together in the shallow water of this beautiful estuary. This means potential for more fish on the hook. Fish feed just prior to a cold front; therefore, the best fishing results will be achieved just before a hard cold hits. But we have the best techniques for fishing in colder waters too.

Weather and Conditions
Winter is bringing more than the holidays. Lower water temperatures are just around the corner. While the cooler water can sometimes make fish a little less active, our fishing charters in New Smyrna Beach are unaffected. As the conditions at the lagoon are changing, so are our techniques. The water levels and wind conditions are major influences at Mosquito Lagoon. Lower levels are an opportunity to fish deeper holes and some shallow spots along the edge.
Target Fish on Fishing Charters in New Smyrna Beach
Redfish, snook, flounder, seatrout and black drum stretch from the southern tip of New Smyrna Beach to Merritt Island. That is more than 20 miles of flats for fishing all year long. Without tidal influence, you can find action in Mosquito Lagoon anytime. The clearer winter waters create the perfect conditions to sight fish. Join Code Red Fishing Charters in New Smyrna Beach to experience the action and catch your target fish.

Bait and Technique
Code Red has all the tips for bait and technique. Your target fish and the prey they’re chasing will move a little slower in colder water. Using live bait with a slower presentation will bring you nothing but results. If you are using lures, consider using ones that have a feather or hair. Remember that cold temperatures reduce the metabolism of the fish. Since they will be feeding less, stick to smaller bait. The bait will determine the size and species you catch.
Hooking Your Bait
Code Red Fishing Charters is tail-hooking live shrimp for redfish, snook, flounder, seatrout and black drum. Hook the shrimp with a jig head through the second tail joint. The jig head weights the shrimp to keep it upright. Cast the jig forward, let it settle, and work it back slowly with authentic movements in the water. The more natural it appears in the water, the better your fishing experience will be. If you notice that some smaller fish are missing the hook, hesitate just a little before setting the hook.
