Estero Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
Although the air temps are cooling off the fishing is starting to heat up in and around Estero Bay.The redfish in the shallows are chewing on shrimp tipped jig heads and free lined shrimp thrown around the oyster bars and mangrove edges. Anglers will also pick up the occasional snook with this method. The spotted seatrout are starting their cooler water feedings over the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water. Shrimp under popping corks will work best. There are also plenty of ladyfish that will be caught with this method. The passes are holding trout, ladyfish, snapper, and pompano. Bottom bouncing shrimp tipped jig heads is the ticket. Sheepshead are hanging around the dock pilings, mangrove edges, and any other structure. Shrimp on jig heads or #1 circle hooks will work fine, but remember to downsize leader to increase your chances.
