Estero Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
The fishing in Estero Bay continues to get better every day. With evening showers making their way into Southwest Florida's weather pattern, the mornings for fishing have been cool and crisp. The heavy rainfall also means that there is an abundant source of freshwater flushing into Estero Bay. When salinity levels change, along with water temperatures, the fishing drastically shifts. Having a well-rounded understanding of tide movement and weather shifts will increase your chances of locating and catching fish.
Snook are still around the beaches but can be found near the backwaters. They will be feeding on pinfish and pilchards. Use 30lb leader with a 3/0 Owner hook.
The redfish bite is best early in the morning, using soft plastics, pinfish, and pilchards.
Tarpon have been all around the bay early in the morning, but may require patience. Pilchards have been the go-to bait, but wouldn't overlook using shrimp or crab.
