I fished Estero Bay with C.B. Fisher, his seven year old daughter, Cayla, and Cayla's grandfather, Frank Graves on Monday. Shrimp were in short supply in the morning, so I cast for silver jinnies and ballyhoo, and we began at the oyster bars, where we caught a bluefish, and released some small fish. Once shrimp came in, we picked up some of those, and fished toward Wiggins Pass, where we caught tw

I fished Estero Bay Wednesday with Frank Tota, Frank Witt, and friends, Joe and Jim. Strange as it might sound, we caught and released a seventeen inch bonefish. I have never seen, much less caught, a bonefish in this area, and I believed them to be a Keys/Caribbean fish. We caught this one on a live shrimp, on an oyster bar in the middle of the bay. Using shrimp, we also caught two keeper sheepsh

I headed out about 65 miles with Gregg Bedell on his boat Monday, to fish the Stoney Point wreck. We used squid, sardines, and shiners, and it was a pretty exciting day out there. We caught a fifteen pound African pompano, a seven pound mutton snapper, and a two foot rainbow runner. We kept a dozen vermillion snapper, and six lane snapper, releasing numerous others. When the mutton snapper hit our

The beginning of the week brought some beautiful weather to east central Florida with sunny skies and light winds. The water temperature in the Mosquito Lagoon is in the mid 60's and the redfish have been tailing aggressively. Each day, I am seeing more and more big trout and it looks like it will be an excellent winter for sight fishing.

Inshore:
One of our usual cool fronts has worked its way across the Treasure Coast the past few days, bringing cooler night temperatures upon us. It looks like the next week should be great weather for anglers in the area. We will continue to have our normal windy days, but there are plenty of areas to fish out of it. Hope you had a chance to fish this week.

Wind and rain has been the story of the weather this week on the Treasure Coast. Winds kept many areas out of reach most days. Several days of constant drizzling rain left us waterlogged and wet. We did have a couple of nice days, but the rest were challenging. Looks like we will have similar weather again this week. Keep your rain gear handy!

INSHORE - Inshore fishing has been a little slow this week but, if you worked hard there were fish to be caught. Look for the trout in 3 to 5 feet of water. The best action this week has been at mid morning and at places like Bear Point and the area around Blind Creek to the South and to the North it has been just north of the Moorings Flats.

Snook season opened this week on the Treasure Coast. Some anglers enjoyed catching their first slots of the season, while others were still out there at daylight in search of theirs. I only spotted about six boats around the inlet at 6 am on Thursday morning. Others showed up around the area as the tide peaked on the river. Most anglers were targeting the seawa
