August 15th, 2008 - Mosquito Lagoon Cocoa Beach Fishing Report

July and August have been basically a repeat day after day. I have been on extremely large reds, black drum and some really nice seatrout. Several fish are being landed in the Mims and Scottsmoor area along the west bank. This area in the Titusville and Cocoa Beach cities can be fantastic this time of year.

These redfish have been on the flats all through out the Mosquito Lagoon as well. The main key with these fish are stealth and patience. Remember these saltwater fish must be released so treat them like gold. Use either cut mullet or cut lady fish and search for them quietly. Fly fishing on the Indian River is good if you want to use this method. Using crab patterns on tailing fish will produce fun with 8 weight fly gear. Sight fish them and have fun.

Again as always practice catch, photo and release. It will save our future fisheries.
