Nothing exciting, but at least red tide is gone...SW FL

I fished last Monday, 10/10, in Estero Bay, around the Wiggins Pass area. We used live shrimp to catch five keeper sheepshead, and we released two sand bream and four rat reds.

Friday, I fished offshore. Conditions were pretty sloppy offshore, so we stayed close-in, about 7-8 miles off New Pass, in 35 feet. We caught a bucket full of grunts and some porkfish, but didn’t get any bites from anything else.
