Now, on to the fishing! It waren’t real good.
Monday Stan Major, his brother Tom, and his friend Emily joined me on Mosquito Lagoon for a full day. Tom wanted a redfish on fly.
It was breezy, overcast, and the water is still high . There weren’t many fish around (I don’t know where all those I found on Friday went). Tom blind cast all day and got the only two bites we had. He boated one seatrout, a decent one of 18 inches or so that took a slider. That was it for the day.
Near the end of the day we found a single tailing redfish, the first we’d seen all day. Tom made one cast and the fish disappeared. That’s how our day ended.
Saturday Richard Sykes, from the low country of South Carolina, joined me for a day’s fly fishing. We kicked off the day by chasing about a half dozen schools of spooky reds around a big flat. As quiet as the Mitzi is we could not get close to those fish. In more than two hours he never got a decent shot. Time to change gears.
We went looking for big seatrout. Apparently in South Carolina a 20 inch fish is a giant. I showed Richard some trout that were between 25 and 30 inches. If they weren’t fleeing when he threw to them, they were as soon as the fly landed. We managed to spook every redfish we saw too. In spite of some seriously nice weather he never got a bite and we were skunked in a most serious fashion.
And that is this week’s exciting version of the Orlando Area and Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report.
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short. Go Fishing!
