Reds, snook, sheepshead, trout bayside: Bonita Beach, SW FL

Postby fishbuster » Sat Jul 23, 2005 1:28 pm

I fished in Estero Bay Tuesday, in the area of Wiggins Pass. We used frozen shrimp, and caught two redfish, including one keeper at 18 ½ inches, three sand bream, keeper sheepshead and snapper, and released snook to 21 inches.

I fished Estero Bay again Wednesday. A five year old angler on board caught the biggest redfish (photo shown)—a 24 incher—along with a keeper sheepshead. We released smaller reds and sheepshead, along with sand bream and a 20 inch barracuda, all on frozen shrimp, in the area of Wiggins Pass.

Fishing Estero Bay again Thursday, we used green-backs and shrimp to catch a 19 ½ inch redfish and a 17 ½ inch trout. We lost one big red and one big snook when they got tangled in the mangroves and broke off.

Friday, fishing the bay again, we used greenbacks to catch a 19 inch trout. We released small snook and some jack cravalle, and Becca battled a couple of bigger snook.

I fished the bay in the Wiggins Pass area on Saturday. We caught a keeper redfish, at 19 inches and 22 inches, using shiners. We released five small snook and a 15 inch jack cravalle.
