SW FL-Estero Bay, Bonita Beach: keeper reds, sheepshead
Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2006 1:01 pm
I fished the backwaters in Estero Bay Saturday, with Jay Bridges and his dad, Charlie Bridges. We fished the tree lines toward Wiggins Pass, on an outgoing tide, using live shrimp. We caught our limit of redfish, two at 23 inches each, and released two others that were just short of keeper size. We also released a bunch of sheepshead at 11 to 11 ½ inches, just short of their 12 inch legal size.
The photo shown above is of angler Jerry Shafren, with a 20 inch redfish, caught on a recent backwater trip.
