Discover Mosquito Lagoon With New Smyrna Beach Charter Option

By Guy Stannard


East Central Florida is an amazing location with the best and most versatile angling options found throughout the United States. Whether one enjoys saltwater, freshwater or brackish, all three are readily available. A Daytona Beach fishing charter company is the perfect way to experience all of these excellent choices that are being offered.

Several special qualities contribute to this area of Florida being a unique location. A favorite spot among avid anglers, beginning fishermen, tourists and locals, alike, is the amazing Mosquito Lagoon. Its positioning in Volusia Counnty at the northern part of the Indian River is a huge factor in creating its specific appeal.

The location of this particular body of water encompasses both Canaveral National Seashore and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Being between these two protected parcels of land that equal more than 167,000 acres combined, means that the lagoon is among the least developed areas in this part of Florida. The fish are plentiful and the wildlife is ample.

Coming to this region provides the people with some unique conditions that make it easy for beginners and casual fishermen, yet poses a sporting challenge for the seasoned angler. With the way the tidal flows go, the water moves slow and is both shallow and clear. This makes it very easy to see schools of certain fish so that casting is more accurate.

The salinity levels allow quite a few species that would normally spawn in open water do so here. This is one of very few places on Earth where the rare combination of five different types of sea grass, Red Mangrove and Spartina all flourish in the same ecosystem. Tarpon, flounder, grouper, spotted sea trout, large mouth bass, crappie and shad are plentiful during their seasons.

Because of the two wildlife preserves, one has the opportunity to see amazing sights. There is a population of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins that live in the lagoon. It is also possible to see schools of fish so clearly and to watch the stingrays as they swim along the shallows.
