Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson reported, "Thursday morning, 8/1, I fished southern Estero Bay’s backwaters with the Thompson family: Brian and Cynthia and their son and daughter-in-law, Tristen and Kristen. They fished a catch-and-release trip, using live shrimp, and caught a nice variety. They released a 21-inch redfish, two black drum at 15 inches and 19 inches, six sheepshead to 12 inches, a sand bream, and a 17-inch snook."

1.) Angler Jaiden McFarland with a 22-inch redfish, one of two that would have been keepers, if not for the current moratorium on harvesting reds, caught on shrimp is southern Estero Bay on a recent inshore Fishbuster Charter.



2.) Angler Melissa Sawin with a 37-inch cobia, caught on cut-bait 37 miles west of New Pass on a recent offshore Fishbuster Charter.
