Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report

I fished over live bottom off Bonita Beach Monday, in 40 feet, with live shrimp. We caught a keeper gag grouper at 25 inches, a 15 inch hogfish, and ten mangrove snapper to 15 inches. We released short gag and red grouper a Spanish mackerel, and one of the largest grunts I’ve seen.

Tuesday, I fished in 43 feet off New Pass. We caught nine nice mangrove snapper to 18 ½ inches, sheepshead to 17 inches, and released lots of porgies, gags to 21 inches, and red grouper to 18 inches.

Thursday, fishing in 43 feet west of New Pass we caught a nice variety of fish on live shrimp. We got three keeper gag grouper, two at 23 inches and one at 24 inches. We also caught mangrove snapper to 15 inches, three keeper sheepshead at 14, 15 and 17 inches, a 14 inch yellowtail and thirteen keeper lane snapper. We released jolthead and whitebone porgies, red grouper to 19 inches, and two hogfish, which were females.
