  • South West Florida Fishing Report - FL

    Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson reported, "After lots of rainy days, paired with a light summer schedule, I got back offshore on Wednesday, 8/9, when I fished 24 miles west of New Pass with Ingo Merz and his two sons. Using shrimp and cut-bait, the guys caught and released two dozen red grouper shorts to 19 ¾ inches, just shy of keeper size. They boxed 24 lane snapper to 15 inches, along with a dozen grunts.


    Diane McVay and friends, Peggy and Mike, fished southern Estero Bay with me Friday morning, 8/11, using live shrimp for bait. With all the fresh water influx into the backwaters from recent heavy rains, fishing was not the best it could be, but the group caught a 15-inch black drum and a 14-inch sheepshead, and released a few sheepshead shorts, along with four stingray that were all about two pounds."

    1.) Angler David Jack with a 20-inch redfish, caught on shrimp in Estero Bay on a recent inshore Fishbuster Charter.



    2.) Angler Frank Landrode with a 22-inch red grouper, caught on squid 23 miles west of New Pass on a recent offshore Fishbuster Charter.
