    Fishbuster Charters’ Captain Dave Hanson reported, “Labor Day weekend provided a little fishing action amidst slow season. I fished Saturday, 8/31, with Tim & Kathy Pedley and their friends, David & Arlee Kachenski and son, Matthew.



    Young angler Tyler Sollmann with a 14-inch hogfish, caught on shrimp on a recent offshore Fishbuster Charter.



    Young angler Tonito Abrantes with a 28-inch red grouper, one of three keeper red grouper, caught on pinfish twenty-seven miles west of New Pass on a recent offshore Fishbuster Charter.


    We headed out in calm seas to 18 miles west of New Pass, but winds and seas picked up by late morning, and made for a rougher ride in than we had going out. The group used live shrimp to catch and release twenty-five red grouper shorts to 19 ½ inches. They also caught fifteen lane snapper, ten of which were keepers, and ten mangrove snapper, four of which were keepers, measuring about 12 inches each."
