Oct2018 NewSmyrnaBeach Backcountry Daytona MosquitoLagoon

We are already getting east breezes off the ocean early in Autumn 2018,this starts the process of clearing the water in the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon Backcountry after a long Florida summer with the usual cloudy warm water. Easterly winds push in more clear ocean water at nearby Ponce Inlet on each incoming tide which filters through the intracoastal waterway resulting in clearing water through the fall. The fall mullet and baitfish run is going strong this year with a flood of finger mullet schools moving south through the area with game fish in tow feeding on the bait fish, schools of good size Jack Crevalle, Bluefish, Ladyfish and Spanish Mackerel to name some,also Tarpon of varying sizes from 10 to 20 lb. teenagers up to 50plus lb. adults are also in with the baitfish schools. The Jacks and Blues frequently are surface attacking mullet in the morning as they push mullet up to the surface and strike in white water splashes making for great sight catching, a bait or lure cast in the action is usually a sure thing, multiple hook ups are common with theseschooling Jack attacks, Wayne from Ohio caught some this way, lots offun on light tackle…………………..
