Mosquito Lagoon, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
North End.
Michael Bales

The beautiful weather over this holiday week has made for some excellent fishing. The winter time low water levels have schooled up the redfish quite nicely with double digit catches not uncommon! There's also still good opportunities for the elusive black drum. Here are a few photos from this week's charters.
