Can the Mosquito Lagoon & Indian River Fishing Get Any Better?
The Indian River and Mosquito Lagoons just east of Titusville, Fl. on Central Florida’s Space Coast, offer some of the best fishing opportunities in the United States. The flats in the northern part of the Indian River are not as well known as those on the Mosquito Lagoon however, they provide excellent wade fishing for large redfish and huge “gator trout”. There are many clear water grass flats north of Mims, Fl. that are accessible to wade fishermen and anglers using shallow draft boats. There are two shallow water boat launches, at Scottsmoor, Fl. and Mims, Fl. Unless you are using a kayak, canoe or Ghenoe; extreme care should be taken when launching your boat. Both locations are very shallow and require care if you are launching a full sized flats boat. When fishing by boat, you should put in before daybreak and be on the flats you intend to fish at first light. Push poling a flats boat is mandatory if you plan on catching any fish.
