Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report
Spanish, snapper & a hogfish: Bonita Beach, SW FL
The photo at right is of a 28 inch kingfish, caught on a recent offshore trip.
With rain on the radar Monday and Tuesday mornings, 6/20 and 6/21, I cancelled my fishing plans for those days. Wednesday was another rainy day, but with the rains holding off until afternoon on Thursday, I got offshore, and fished in 36 feet off New Pass with live shrimp and cut bait. We caught keeper Spanish mackerel and mangrove snapper, porkfish, porgies and grunts. We released gag grouper shorts to 21 inches.
I fished Saturday 15 miles west of New Pass in 40 feet. We used live shrimp, and caught a 15 inch hogfish, mangrove snapper to 14 inches, and keeper Spanish mackerel, along with grunts, porkfish and gag shorts.
