Thread: ML South 3/11 WOW

Went out Sunday with my son and a friend in his gheenoe to try the cucumber island area, south-ish portion of the Mosquito Lagoon. I had not fished over there in years, didn't realize how bad the seagrass destruction was!!!! Water was murky. Grass was all gone, such a sad story as I remembered there being endless grass flats, it was terrible to see. I felt bad for my son as he'll probably never see it the way it used to be... But we fished on missing an opportunity at a redfish with his back out of the water (in about 4" of water). Caught about a dozen dink trout on artificials. My 6 yr old landed the biggest trout of the day a 16"er all by himself on a paddle tail plastic, that was pretty neat. Still a great time on the water but man it hurt to see the lagoon in that condition, next time i'll try the Chazz. Tight Lines.
