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.If you're looking to experience some of the best inshore fishing Florida has to offer, you have to check out the 4-Hour Fishing Charter with Code Red Fishing Charters in New Smyrna Beach. Whether you're targeting Black Drum, Flounder, Snook, or any of the other amazing species that call these waters home, the crew will make sure you have an unforgettable day on the water.

Redfish Mania: A Thrilling 4-Hour Fishing Expedition in New Smyrna Beach
It was a beautiful day to be out on the water with Scott Brown for our 4-Hour Morning Fishing Trip here in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. July is a prime time for inshore fishing, as the warming waters bring the Redfish (Red Drum) and other species closer to the surface, making for some incredible action. The weather was a bit on the cloudy side, with some light rain throughout the day, but the water conditions were great - nice and clear, perfect for spotting baitfish and our target species. We launched out of the Code Red Fishing Charters dock right at 6am and wasted no time getting the lines in the water. I started Scott off with some live bait fishing, chumming the area to get the Redfish fired up. It didn't take long before his rod doubled over - he had a nice Redfish on the line! After a solid fight, we got that beauty in the boat and high-fived. The bite stayed strong throughout the morning, and we managed to hook into a few more Redfish, each one putting up an incredible battle. Scott was all smiles, loving the thrill of feeling that powerful fish on the other end of the line. In between the Redfish action, we also spotted some nice Flounder and Snook cruising the shallows, but we decided to focus our efforts on the Redfish, knowing they'd give us the best fight. The rain never really let up, but it didn't seem to bother the fish or dampen our spirits - we were out on the water, enjoying the day and each catch. That's the magic of a trip like this - the combination of great fishing, amazing scenery, and good company makes it an unforgettable experience. If you're looking to get in on the incredible inshore fishing action here in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, I highly recommend booking a 4-Hour Morning Fishing Trip with Code Red Fishing Charters. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, our expert crew will put you on the fish and make sure you have an absolute blast on the

Fishing Report: Mosquito Lagoon – November 7, 2024
November is one of the best months to fish Mosquito Lagoon. The cooler weather makes for comfortable conditions and also sparks fish activity, especially for redfish and speckled trout. The water clarity improves significantly with cooler temperatures, enhancing sight fishing for experienced anglers. Fish are often feeding aggressively this season, building up reserves for winter, so bites are frequent and rewarding. With these benefits, anglers can expect a productive day on the water with various species and quality catches. Book a fishing charter with Code Red Fishing Charters and let's go fishing!

Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report - November 1, 2024
Weather and Conditions: The weather on November 1st was perfect for fishing, with calm winds around 5-10 mph and temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s. The cooler air and water temperatures have increased fish activity, especially inshore, and the water is exceptionally clear, providing ideal sight-fishing opportunities. Wind Conditions: Light, steady winds kept the waters calm throughout the day, allowing for comfortable fishing and great casting control. These conditions make it easier to spot fish moving through the flats and around the structures. Fishing Conditions: Fall fishing at Mosquito Lagoon is in full swing, with baitfish still plentiful in the area, drawing in large numbers of inshore predators. Early mornings and late afternoons have been the most productive times to fish, as the fish are most active in the cooler hours. This is a great time for sight fishing, especially with the water clarity currently high and fish feeding aggressively.

Great time today with Cpt Lee, caught plenty of fish, and he took extra time with my 11 year old grandson and his friend. Comfortable boat and quality gear, we had a terrific time and will charter with him again.

My husband and daughters booked a trip with Captain Matt earlier in the week I was unable to go due to a broken collar bone. Captain Matt was able to arrange another trip where I could attend as well. Matt snd Brad allowed us to have the BEST fishing experience ever! They even helped a one arm person catch a huge trout. It was truly an amazing experience and we will definitely call them again. We caught huge fish - they cleaned and it was perfect. If you are looking for a gun action packed trip call Matt or Brad. They went over and beyond the call of duty. Thanks! Angie

Captain Matt was awesome. My family and I came down from Ga on a last minute vacation. My wife and kids tell me that they wanted give me a chartered fishing trip for Father’s Day. After reading a number of reviews we decided on Code Red. Captain Matt was pretty much booked up. But after Captain Matt heard what my family was wanting to do for me. He took us on an evening charter. Captain Matt is very knowledgeable and well versed in his field. We moved around trying to find the fish. Finally we found them and let me tell you it was a blast. I had my 13 year old son with me on this charter. It was one of the best Father’s Day gifts to get a great charter with an awesome captain, but seeing my son grinning from ear to ear as we caught fish was icing on the cake. I highly recommend anyone looking for a great time with an awesome captain to choose Code Red with captain Matt. We hope to returning next year for a second trip.

The best fishing charter I have ever experienced! Nothing but great fishing and lots of laughs with Captain Matt. He put us on some huge trout and large numbers. My two teenage daughters had a blast. You cannot go wrong booking a trip with Code Red. In fact, it was so good we have booked another trip for Monday prior to going home to Georgia.
