Florida Fishing Guides and Mosquito Lagoon redfish
Sat Jul 05, 2008  

This is a matrix of fishing locations matched with the best biting months for each fish species.  This should give anglers an idea of what they might expect to catch in each location and help them determine the time of year to target different kinds of fish.

Remember that these are rules of thumb and can change due to weather and/or other conditions. Summer hurricanes can knock the fishing down or in some cases cause an unusual bite depending on the severity of the storm and proximity to the fishing. Winter temperatures can cause the fish to bite hard in deep canals or scatter over the lagoon in search of comfort. Don't hold your guide(s) to this guideline wholly, let them explain what is going on and use this matrix to give you an idea of what's the best bet for your fishing trip.
