I had a day to kill in the Orlando area and booked a trip fishing with Captain Jonathan from Go Castaway Charters.ย We fished Mosquito Lagoon on what was I expected to be a terrible day.ย There was steady rain but not so bad we could not fish.ย Captain Jonathan told me he knew where to find Reds for me to cast to with my fly rod.ย Boy, was that the truth.ย Within 10 minutes of launching his flats boat he spotted tails.ย It was very calm but completely overcast and his spot had a lot of fish tailing.ย It was a dream shot for me.ย I hooked up on a nice Red on one of my first casts.ย Captain Jonathan tied a shrimp fly pattern and the Reds loved it.ย We fished about 4 hours in off-and-on rain and we were constantly in fish.ย At the end of the day I caught 8 Reds, 4 on a fly rod and 4 on a spinning rod.ย I was casting a spoon and the fish liked it a lot.ย Right before we needed to leave Captain Jonathan asked me if I wanted to throw a top-water plug at the fish.ย Remember, these fish were tailing.ย I told Jonathan that a top-water did not make sense to me since the fish had their heads on the bottom.ย He assured me it was worth a shot.ย His plug produced the โfish of the dayโ and a crazy cool hit.ย He had me throw the plug 20 feet past the fish, crank it directly above him and stop.ย Then Jonathan had me shake the plug loudly above the fish.ย The Red did a crazy fast flip inhaling the plug and not really being happy to have it in his mouth.ย It was the biggest fish of the day and the hardest fighting.ย Jonathan has a very cool flats boat that is awesome looking.ย I learned a lot about how Redfish feed and had the time of my life.ย I will absolutely use Captain Jonathan again my next time in Florida.ย If you have never fished Mosquito Lagoon I highly recommend it.ย It is a BEAUTIFUL placeโฆ.even in the rain!!!
