Virginia Stafford, her sister Carol, and her grandsons Mac and William, fished Monday with me in Estero Bay, toward Wiggins Pass. We used live shrimp to catch a 20 inch redfish and keeper sheepshead and sand bream. We released a cravalle jack.

Friday, Kevin Bordwell and son, Ben, fished with me in 35 feet out of New Pass, where we caught a mess of Spanish mackerel to 24 inches, keeping a half dozen of those, along with a few lane snapper. We released small mangrove snapper, triggerfish and ladyfish.
