One Day Mosquito Lagoon Report
Thank you for reading this One Day Mosquito Lagoon Report. Caleb and I got out on Tuesday, and a stunning morning it was.

Tuesday morning at 6 am Caleb and I met at the ramp. The mosquitos and no-see-ums were glad we were there, and shared their pleasure with us by trying to suck us dry. In the meantime, the sun was trying to break through some clouds over the eastern shore. Not your classic gorgeous sunrise, but it was still lovely, as was the entire morning. The water was clear and full of bait.
Before too long Caleb got a red on a soft plastic bait.
I didn’t get any bites, but I wasn’t fishing much, either. Just taking it all in- the mullet, the dolphins, the birds, the manatees, even saw a hog up on the bank. I finally got a skunk-chaser, a needlefish on a soft plastic shad. I don’t know how it got stuck on the hook. When I lifted it out of the water to unhook it, it fell off the hook into the water in the bottom of my kayak. I got to pick it up and let it go.
We got split up. When we re-joined Caleb said he’d gotten two more reds, and the smallest snook he’d ever seen. Just before pulling the boat (midday) I got a snook, 22 inches or so. The bugs were still bad at the ramp.
Fishing wasn’t especially good, but we got a few, and enjoyed a beautiful morning.
That’s the One Day Mosquito Lagoon Report. Thanks for reading!
Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! Go paddling! Go for a bike ride! Stay active!
