Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson reported,"Paul Szemplenski, his young daughter, Evie, and his father-in-law, Ed fished inshore with me on Friday, 10/17/14. The group had originally planned to fish offshore, but residual seas from the weather front that passed through a couple of days prior were still too rough for gulf fishing. So, we fished in lower Hickory Bay, around the mangrove islands, using live shrimp. The group caught and released two redfish to 17 ½ inches. They also caught two sheepshead, one of which was a 13-inch keeper, along with a dozen mangrove snapper, two of which were keepers, and the others just short of keeper-size."+
