The Redfish Bite Is On In Estero Bay

Another week of good fishing both inshore and nearshore brought October to an end. Redfish continued to bite along shorelines and transition areas where flats dumped off to deeper waters. All sorts of fish are moving in and down our shores. Snook fishing has been good using both artificial lures and live bait. Snook up to 35" can been seen moving in packs back toward their winter haunts. Schools of big black drum have been seen moving down the beaches heading south. Tarpon are still around feeding on the tons of small bait moving in and around the passes. Tripletail, cobia, and mackerel are all in fairly close so there's been plenty of options.
