    Fishbuster Charters Captain Dave Hanson reported, "Thursday morning, 10/26, I fished southern Estero Bay’s backwaters with the Rich Kern Sr., Rich Kern,Jr., and Steve Kern, along with friend John Ziffle. The guys used live shrimp to haul in a nice catch of sheepshead and black drum. They boxed five keeper sheepshead to 16 inches and three keeper black drum to 16 inches. They released smaller sheepshead and a few mangrove snapper shorts.




    With a tropical depression in the gulf, meeting up with a strong, approaching cold-front on Saturday, 10/28, Dave Carr and friends, Steve and George, tried to squeeze in a morning of fishing offshore with me, ahead of the deteriorating weather. We managed about three and one half hours before the increasing winds and seas, along with a bit of rain, forced us back to shore. The guys used squid to catch some porgies, three of which were good-sized and went into the cooler. They released red grouper shorts, a couple of mutton snapper shorts at 14 inches and 15 inches, and some yellowtail shorts."

    1.) Angler Matt Merz with a keeper 19-inch red grouper, caught on squid and released 23 miles west of New Pass on a recent offshore Fishbuster Charter.



    2.) Angler Rachel Lavalle with a keeper 17-inch sheepshead, caught on shrimp in Estero Bay on a recent inshore Fishbuster Charter.
