Estero Bay Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Estero Bay
I took my brother out yesterday for an early morning Topwater lure run. Excellent morning as we caught three redfish on top water and a few snook as well, including a 28 1/2 inch one!

Fishing has been pretty steady even though we have water temperatures in the high 80s. Today the guest, a non-fisherman, brought in a 32-inch Snook off the flats today! What a great find this time of year. I have also seen plenty of red fish this last week and the speckled sea trout bite is still hot as usual. No live bait needed for the Speckled SeaTrout, as they will hit soft plastics and hard Subsurface Baits as long as you work them correctly.

The inshore bite has been as hot as the temps here in SW Florida. The seatrout bite is crazy good around the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water. Shrimp under a popping cork is the ticket. There have been some quality redfish hanging around the mangrove edges and oyster bars on higher water. Free lined pinfish or pins under a float will work best. Just remember to get out early to beat the heat as the bite has been over around 11 am.

Fishing has been great. Snook, snapper, and grouper are biting on pilchards and pinfish. Weather conditions are good and sunny!

The fishing has been really good both inshore and nearshore. The shallow water bite has been good for spotted seatrout and ladyfish. Plenty of keeper seatrout. Mostly caught in shrimp under a popping cork. The nearshore shark fishing has been crazy good with both size and variety! Cut bait and chumming is the key to getting them to feed.

High seas have caused a lot of schedule changes and made fishing challenging. The Mahi bite has cooled as the wind and seas have blown the weed lines apart and trolling is picking up bits and pieces of grass. Our best luck has been finding patches of grass and chumming them to see if any mahi are lurking around.

A lot of snapper and snook right now.
Snapper we can keep and they have to be 10" to keep and we have been limiting out almost every day.
