March2019 Florida New Smyrna Daytona Beach Backcountry

Spring 2019 has arrived to the waters of the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon here at New Smyrna Beach, water temperatures are up to the 70’s F in the intracoastal waterway and the mid 60’s in the ocean surf line, bait fish are returning the lagoon coming up from the south as the temps rise, coastal migratory game fish also starting tobe caught, including Jack Crevalle, Bluefish, Pompano, and Ladyfish,our local resident fish Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper are also returning to their normal locations after spendingthe winter hiding in the cold water spots. The spring shrimp run isstarting with lots of fish focusing on one of their favorite foods the local shrimp. Water is still clear here in the north Lagoon and backcountry so artificial lures and flies are working with good visibility for the fish to see the “fake” baits. Kris from Maine was out with the family recently with me in the backcountry catching many different species on shrimp, dad got to catch a nice Redfishwhich we released to grow up and become a larger spawning fish someday……………….

Black Drum are one of our staple “good” fish but they are in decreasing numbers as well as all our other quality fish so I encourage Catch Photo Release on our bigger fish to protect the fishery for the future, Lisa from Ohio with another nice Black Drum……………
