The seagrass was TALL and PLENTIFUL!
Redfish were tailing and cruising all over.

Once I got out on the Lagoon, it was tailing redfish and luscious seagrass as far as the eye can see!
My goal was to try and pluck off a few tailing fish and then try to pick out a few fish from a school, that is if I can find one.
I was filled with pure joy just to see clear water, tailing fish, and seagrass.
Weedless applications are ideal when fishing for tailing redfish like this.
Especially when using the Hoss Helix Hook, your presentations remain weedless but also have the right size hook gap to stick and bury in the fish’s mouth.
The most important thing is to keep tension on the line.
As long as you stay tight on the fish, the hook will remain buried in its mouth.
The key is to maintain contact and anticipate its runs.
Later on in this trip, I was thankful I had a 30lb leader tied on.
A really nice snook came up and swallowed the Moonwalker as I worked it around a point.
Power Prawn USA Junior Gold Digger
Every single tailing redfish I caught on this trip was using the Power Prawn USA Junior in the Gold Digger color.
I caught over a dozen tailing redfish within the past few weeks on ONE of these lures and you get six in the package.
These lures last a while and catch a ton of fish.
Conclusion
Blue tails and green heads!!!
Healthy redfish in the Mosquito Lagoon had me thinking it was 2007 again.
This trip was special and I hope a sign of growth and a return of stability to the lagoon.

Back in the 70’s, I used to catch monster trount on an out bound tide at Turtle Mound free spooling live shrimp.
Super excited to hear the recent reports from you and Tony regarding clear water and seagrass in the lagoon. Let’s keep our fingers crossed this is a new trend and not a blurp! I’ll look forward to your future reports – keep up the good work!
I was out there this past Sunday found plenty of bait went to a couple hot spots that where supposed to be “great” lots of bait but not a single bite.
Great report Coach Justin. Your knowledge and willingness to share with everyone is awesome. Please keep the videos coming as they are a great learning tool for me. Thanks and it’s greatly appreciated
Great report Justin! So glad to see that the grass is coming back over there.
I really hope it’s on its way back. We were out a couple of months ago up near oakville. The water looked good. Got into one small red and snook. Saw a few black drum. Was my first time up there. Fingers crossed for the future. I never got to experience it in its prime.
What area did you find the sea grass?
North, Central or South?
Hey Markus! There’s Seagrass in multiple locations throughout the Lagoon right now. I’ve heard of it being North, Central and South lately!
I’ve just got into inshore fishing, I’ve only been to haulover canal to fish…. Is there any grass around there… I know nothing else about the lagoon…. Any intel would be great appreciate…. Still trying to catch my first red
Eric
Hey Eric,
As mentioned, there are many areas throughout the Indian River & Lagoon that have Seagrass growing back right now. And I know how you feel…I spent my first 4 years Inshore Fishing from land without ever having caught a Redfish as well. It will happen, I promise!
