Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Trips

Mosquito Lagoon is known world wide for its large numbers of "bull" redfish and "gator" trout. And has been named "Redfish Capital of the World." You may not see it at first, but this estuary is full of life. Schools of 300 redfish over 40 pounds are not uncommon during certain times of the year. Our redfish stay in the lagoons year round due to the fact that they never leave the to spawn.

With crystal clear water most of the year, sight fishing these shallow flats become exciting. Redfish and black drum will tail on the shallow flats giving away thier location making it easy for the Angler and the Guide to spot. Our fishing Guides will put you on the fish its up to you to reel them in. For the experience angler we offer sight fishing trips.

Success on the flats is measured by the ability to visually locate fish, to quietly approach to within casting distance, to precisely place your cast, and to masterfully play the fish during its long runs over the shallow flats. The stalking of these elusive fish is always an adrenaline rush, but the landing of your trophy fish is truly a memory of a lifetime.

The Mosquito Lagoon is a long, narrow, estuary that is bordered on the east by a barrier island and on the west by the mainland and is connected to the Indian River Lagoon via the Haulover canal near Titsuville. Mosquito Lagoon has been designated an Outstanding Florida Water by the State of Florida and, as part of the Indian River Lagoon, an Estuary of National Significance by the Environmental Protection Agency.

It is renown for its outstanding biological diversity, recreational fishery and as habitat for several federally-protected animals. Lagoon waters are classified as Class II which is suitable for shellfish (clam and oyster) propagation and harvesting. Since the lagoon ecosystem is based heavily on healthy seagrass beds, water clarity is essential. Water clarity in Mosquito Lagoon is very good in the winter and early spring but decreases in the summer and fall.
