Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson reported, "I fished offshore, about twenty miles west of New Pass, on Wednesday morning, 5/29, with Paul and Belinda Parks. It was sloppy heading out, despite a seas forecast of two feet, but it calmed down toward mid-morning. The couple used squid to catch two keeper lane snapper, and they released two trigger fish that were 13 inches and 14 inches. They also released four red grouper shorts, all around 17 inches. Belinda made an interesting “food-chain” catch when a squirrelfish bit her squid, and a groper then bit the squirrelfish!"
1.) Young angler Mason Delor with a 17-inch sheepshead, one of several he and his family caught on squid on a recent inshore Fishbuster Charter.
2.) Angler Roy Mittman with a 19-inch redfish, caught on shrimp in southern Estero Bay and released (due to the current moratorium on harvesting redfish) on a recent inshore Fishbuster Charter.
