Discover Mosquito Lagoon With New Smyrna Beach Charter Packages

By Guy Stannard


East Central Florida is home to some of the United States' most amazing and versatile options for anglers to enjoy. Whether one's preference is freshwater, saltwater, or brackish, it can be found here. Taking a Daytona Beach fishing charter is the most effective way to fully experience each of these incredible options.

There are other qualities that make this particular part of Florida stand out as unique. Mosquito Lagoon is perhaps a top spot chosen by tourists and locals, avid anglers and novice fishermen, alike. Its location at the most northern end of the beautiful Indian River in lovely Volusia County is actually what gives it such a unique appeal.

This lagoon is part of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, as well as the Canaveral National Seashore. Combined, these two parks equal over 167,000 acres of land that is protected from the intrusion of development, resulting in one of the few areas of Florida that are still relatively untouched. This is why the fish and wildlife are so plentiful.

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.

Species spawn in the lagoon that would ordinarily only do this at sea because parts of it have a salinity that matches ocean conditions. It also makes this one of a few locations on Earth where one can see the extremely rare combination of Spartina, Red Mangrove and five genus of sea grass flourishing in one ecosystem. It is a gathering spot for shad, crappie, large mouth bass, spotted sea trout, grouper, flounder and tarpon.

There are many incredible sights possible because from the protection from the dual wildlife preserves. The lagoon even has its own indigenous family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins trying to get attention. Imaging watching stingrays glide in the shallows while observing large groups of fish just below the surface elsewhere.
