    Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson reported, "Monday, 2/5/18, I fished with frequent customer, Ron Musick, joined by friends who are visiting for a few days. We used cut-bait and squid to fish spots out to 28 miles from New Pass. The spots that have consistently yielded lots of lane snapper have not been doing so recently, and this day was no exception. But, the group did catch over twenty nice-sized porgies, along with some grunts. They released twenty-five red grouper shorts, along with a 15-inch mutton snapper.


    On Wednesday, 2/7, Craig Royal and family fished 24 miles west of New Pass with me, where there continued to be lots of small bait fish around, and keeper fish seemed scarce, despite steady action. The group released a couple dozen red grouper shorts to 18 inches, along with two big lizard fish about 19 inches each. They did box three keeper lane snapper and a dozen grunts, all of which bit on squid and cut-bait."

    1.) Angler Larry Baumgartner with a 15-inch mangrove snapper, caught on squid 22 miles west of New Pass on a recent offshore Fishbuster Charter.



    2.) Young angler Henry Wengerd with a 15-inch sheepshead, caught on shrimp in Estero Bay on a recent inshore Fishbuster Charter.
