Estero Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

Redfishing continues to take top billing this week with a great bite continuing. Redfish were caught in every manner this week from artificial lures, cut baits, and of course live shrimp. Snook continue to fill up the docks as they push into their winter refuges. Snook where more than happy to take live shiners on 2/0 circle hooks all week. Trout fishing is also good in 3-5 feet of water over grassy areas. Trout took both topwater and subsurface lures consistently as well as the old reliable shrimp on a popping cork. Tarpon continue to be seen off many of our beaches and around the bridges. Cobia, kingfish, mackerel, bluefish, and bonita are a few of the common offshore species you'll see this time of the year while running out to your grouper grounds so pay attention.
