Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson reported, "On Friday morning, October 18, I fished the backwaters of southern Estero Bay with Doug and Jane Lane, joined by their daughter and son-in-law, Kim and Robert Renzi. The family did well, using live shrimp. They caught six sheepshead, including two keepers at 15 inches and 14 inches, a dozen mangrove snapper, including three eleven-inch keepers, and a 16-inch black drum. They released two redfish, one short at 12 inches, and the other a nice, 24-inch, which also had to be released, due to the current moratorium on harvesting reds. They also released two 14-inch mutton snapper."
1.) Angler Brady Mcfarland with a 2-pound crevalle jack, caught on shrimp and released in Estero Bay on a recent inshore Fishbuster Charter.
2.) Angler Rick Castillo with an 14-inch triggerfish, caught on squid and released 24 miles west of New Pass on a recent offshore Fishbuster Charter.
