Big, and I mean big seatrout are all over the backwaters of Mosquito Lagoon (located less than an hour from Orlando and 30 minutes from Daytona Beach). As the forecast calls for warmer temps watch for the "gator trout" to turn on using a very slow presentation bounced along the bottom. Live free-lined finger mullet will also get their attention. The tricky part of Mosquito Lagoon is knowing where your going and I highly recommend to hire a guide for the day to put you on these monster trout. Be sure and release these large breeders to fight another day and keep our trout population up in the coming years with this rare cold weather we have experienced.
Redfish will also continue to bunch up in tight schools willing to eat small live shrimp or a soft plastic, such as the Rip Tide Conley Grub moved VERY slowly. This is BY FAR my favorite time of the year to catch a ton of fish...but please remember fishing is a sport so there's no need for anglers to fill their freezers.
