Keeper Gags, Nice Sheepshead: Bonita beach, FL Fishbuster Dave - fishbuster - 01-31-2004
[cool][font "Arial"][size 2]Another cold front brought rough seas this week, and kept us in port until Thursday. On Thursday, I fished with the Frank Bettendorf party at the reefs off Bonita, where we caught sheepshead to 17 inches, and released gag and red grouper shorts.
Friday, I had a great day fishing with Dan Gaus, 19 miles off Bonita, with live shrimp. We caught three keeper gag grouper to 29 inches. The largest one bit a snapper we were reeling in on top of the water, and we used the snapper to tease the grouper while we got another pole that was baited with a piece of cut bait into the water. The gag bit the cut bait, and we reeled him in! We also kept ten mangrove snapper to 16 inches, and released a bunch more, along with Spanish mackerel to 23 inches, porkfish, grunts and porgies.Find complete info and fish photo album at [/size][/font][url "http://www.fishbustercharters.com/"][font "Arial"][#0000ff][size 2]www.fishbustercharters.com[/size][/#0000ff][/font][/url]
