When to fish Titusville

Year-round sight-fishery. The cool, clear months (fall through spring, roughly October-April) are the peak for tailing and cruising redfish and big trout on the Mosquito Lagoon flats — calm, clear mornings are the magic. Big (trophy) seatrout fish especially well in the cooler months. Summer brings schooling reds and early/late topwater before the heat and afternoon storms. Black drum tail the flats in the cooler months alongside the reds. The lagoon has no passes to the ocean, so it is a pure inshore fishery driven by wind and water clarity, not tides.
