| 02/27/2006 Fishing Report Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson, reported, "I fished Monday in 34 feet out of New Pass, with Ed & Margie Bock. Using live shrimp, we caught a 15 inch black drum, five keeper sheepshead, all about 15 inches, and released smaller sheepshead and grouper shorts. Tuesday, fishing in 26 feet out of New Pass with Andy Cummings, Chuck Cummings, Darryl Rinehart and Lenny Matz, we did well with sheepshead. We kept thirteen of them to 19 inches, and released about 40 shorter ones. We also got a 13 inch mangrove snapper, all on shrimp. Fishing out of New Pass Wednesday with eight year old Ethan Cable, his mom and dad, Jason and Lisa Cable, and his grandpa, Roger Porter, we caught three nice sheepshead to 17 inches, grunts, and porkfish. We released small snapper and grouper. Ethan was proud of his 17 inch sheepshead, and gladly posed with it for a photo-op! Fishing a catch & release trip with Jamie Riddell and friend Sam, in 30 feet out of New Pass Thursday, the sheepshead were even bigger than they were earlier this week. We released six of them to 19 ¼ inches, along with triggerfish to 14 inches, using live shrimp. Carl, & Susan Baker, son Marshall, and daughter Anna fished Friday with me in 30 feet out of New Pass. We caught a 20 inch, seven pound tripletail on a crab trap buoy, using live shrimp. We also caught some nice sheepshead to 19 inches, and our keeper lane snapper. Helen Major arranged an offshore charter for her guests from France on Saturday. we feared some rough conditions, with forecasts calling for small craft advisories preceding the arrival of a cold front. It was moderately choppy in the morning, with three foot seas, but it calmed to two foot in the afternoon, before it started building once again. We caught eight keeper sheepshead , average size of 16 inches, along with some grunts, fishing the reefs and also some limestone bottom, in 35 feet."
