There is some spotty red tide in our area due to the South West wind we had last week. This week calls for an Easterly breeze which will keep the tide at bay.
Over the weekend I traveled about 15 minutes North of the boat ramp and found crystal clear water and some great fishing action.
Saturday I fished a tournament and my partner and I caught several redfish, snook, tarpon, and trout. On Sunday Jenny her son Dalton and fiance’ Alexa were staying on Siesta Key visiting from IN.
They knew of the red tide but wanted to still get out on the water. I assured them that the red tide is only spotty and we could find clean water. The ladies out fished Dalton by catching several keeper trout and mangrove snapper.
Dalton almost brought to the boat a trophy sized snook before the giant fish snapped the line. Dalton admitted it was the largest fish he has had on the end of a pole. We had a great day on the water and everybody was happy.
