Battling Black Drum in the Sunny Mosquito Lagoon

What a day we had out on the water! I met up with George and his son Issac in the early morning at the Code Red Fishing Charters in New Smyrna Beach, FL, ready to hit the water for our 4-Hour Fishing Charter. March is a fantastic time to be fishing in these parts, with the warming waters bringing in all sorts of inshore species to the Mosquito Lagoon.

The weather was perfect, with partly cloudy skies overhead and great water conditions as we launched the boat. We wasted no time getting our lines in the water, using light tackle to work the flats and see what we could find. It wasn't long before their rods bent over, and they were into a nice Black Drum! That fish put up a great fight, making some strong runs before we were able to get it in the boat. We continued working the area, mixing in some live bait and lures, and managed to hook into a few more Black Drum throughout the morning.

While the bite was a bit sporadic at times, that just made the catches that much more exciting. Between the fish, we took in the beautiful scenery of the Mosquito Lagoon - the clear waters, the lush mangroves, and the incredible birdlife all around us. It was the perfect backdrop for a relaxing yet productive day of inshore fishing. The rain rolled in during the afternoon, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. We kept at it, and the fish kept us on our toes until it was time to head back in.
