Fishing Report - Naples, Ft. Myers, Bonita Beach & Estero Bay

SWFL-Bonita Beach: bay and near-shore report I fished Wednesday in 30 feet out of New Pass, around the reefs, with Joe Soboloski and his three sons. We used live shrimp to catch keeper mangrove snapper, lane snapper, and Spanish mackerel. We released the mackerel, along with triggerfish, gag grouper shorts, and ladyfish. The boys kept the snapper for dinner. Robert Duhlberg and his eight year old son, Daniel, fished the east side of Estero Bay with me on Thursday, where we released sheepshead, cravalle jacks, sand bream, and black drum. The photo shown above is of angler Virginia Stafford, with a 20 inch redfish, caught recently in Estero Bay, on a live shrimp.
