Redfish, black drum, sheepshead & flounder:Bonita Beach,

Postby fishbuster » Sat Jul 02, 2005 11:46 am

I fished Estero Bay, around the oyster bars toward Wiggins Pass on Tuesday, with live shrimp. We caught five redfish to 24 inches, including 3 keepers, three keeper sheepshead to 15 inches, and keeper mangrove snapper to 12 inches. We released two short snook at 18 and 19 inches.

Wednesday, I fished in 35 feet off Naples. Despite forecasts for afternoon rains, we were chased in by building storms before noon. Seas were sloppy, and it wasn’t real comfortable out there for the kids on board, but we managed to catch a flounder, keeper mangrove snapper, porgies and grunts, and released gag shorts.

Thursday, I fished Estero Bay. We caught a keeper redfish, two sand bream, a keeper sheepshead, and three black drum, two of which were keepers, all on live shrimp.

The photo attached is of an 18 inch sheepshead, caught on a recent backwater trip in Estero Bay.
