Discover Mosquito Lagoon With New Smyrna Beach Charter Packages

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.

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.

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.

The regions unique conditions provide the casual fisherman and the beginning novice a fun time, but it also challenges that old angling pro. The tidal flows create areas of water that are slow, shallow and impressively clear. Many types of fish can be easily spotted, making it easier to make a more accurate cast.

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.

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.
