Mosquito Lagoon and St. Johns River Fishing Report
The Mirage is in the garage. Yes, I am now in possession of a Maverick Mirage HPX-T. The Mitzi is for sale– come and get it!
While the rest of the country was sub-zero with ice and snow, we were merely cold and windy. It did keep me off the water most of the week.
Last Sunday Bones, Mike, Tammy, and I launched our kayaks at Calalisa Creek at the SR 44 bridge crossing in New Smyrna Beach. We paddled through the northern Mosquito Lagoon to JB.s Fish Camp. The weather was awesome.
The day started off beautifully, full of promise.
The fishing was not. I got a small jack and a really small bluefish, which was all the fish we got. I saw one trout and one redfish all day.
Tammy brought Barbie along.
It’s not like the area didn’t look fishy.
Friday, suffering from cabin fever, I launched the kayak in the St. Johns and paddled upstream. I found a spot with some shad and got six on a crappie jig, along with two crappie. Fair fishing for four hours work.
The bite was not fast but it was steady.
A couple crappie got into the act.
And that is the extent of this week’s fishing report. I hope to get out more this week!
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short. Go Fishing!
