Orlando Fishing welcomes you to join Captain Shawn on an Orlando fishing adventure on the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River Lagoon. Located just 45 minutes east of Orlando anglers arrive on Florida's Space Coast to test their skills with light tackle. This area of Central Florida is known as "The Redfish Capital" due to the year-round fishery and massive size of Redfish that inhabit these inshore waters, providing rod-bending action for all skill levels of anglers. Fishing in Orlando, Florida just doesn't get any better than this!

Light tackle flat's fishing is Captain Shawn's specialty here on Florida's Space Coast. He generally fish's in water less than 2 feet in depth and employs the fishing techniques very simliar to bass fishing. Fishing top water baits, soft plactics, spoons, and jigs on light spinning tackle for redfish, sea trout, snook, tarpon, and black drum on calm, shallow water. Florida Redfish are the top of the food chain in the Lagoons. This leads to an aggressive behavior that results in rod jarring strikes and explosive action! Central Florida Fishing is known for it's "World class fishing".

These shallow water fish put up a mean fight, and make long runs over the grass flats when hooked. Schools of 50 to 400 redfish are not uncommon with fish over 35 pounds found tailing in a foot of water. Anglers will also find some of the largest sea trout in the state with fish over ten pounds landed each year. Black drum are also found schooling inside the Mosquito Lagoon in large numbers and size. The same as it's cousin the redfish they will school through out the year inside of the Mosquito Lagoon on the shallow flat's. If you love to sight fish this is the trip for you!

Unlike any other destination in the world where anglers fish the shallow flat's, the Mosquito Lagoon serves as home base for redfish, trout, and black drum all year long. They never leave the Lagoon and head offshore for the migration and spawning. They spend their entire life span inside the Lagoon. This means anglers have year round fishing on the shallow water flat's. While on your trip you will fish shallow water flats through out the day in search of tailing or schooling fish. Captain Shawn use's nothing but high quality fishing tackle like Shimano and Diawa reels, and castaway rods at no extra charge. Everything that you need for the day will be provided with all necessary fishing licenses, fishing tackle, bait, lures, leaders, digital photographs of your catch and detailed directions on where to meet.
