Fish are biting

Estero Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

Redfishing continues to be great during August. Anglers have been catching nice fish both in the backcountry and along the pass shorelines. Snook are moving in and out from the beaches to the backwater so fishing passes continues to be good. Most snook continue to be caught on live bait free lined with a fluorocarbon leader and a 2/0 circle hook. Trout are off the bars in Pine Island and are happy to take small jigs, swim baits, and shrimp regularly on any tide. The pelagic fish are moving through as well this week with mackerel, flounder and bluefish being caught randomly. Keep an eye out offshore this week for floating debris, as triple tail should be around and willing to eat DOA shrimp. Tight lines!
