I am flying in Sat Auguest 6th to Tampa. I am staying for a week at a condo in Indian Rocks Beach.

This is a family vacation so I wont get a ton of fishing time during the day but night thru early morning and then at sunset will be available to me.

My hope is to catch something--Pinfish, Snook, it really doesnt matter-- to make the trip a bit more memorable.

I have been tying synthetic hair minnow patterns, shrimp flies, and even a few poppers to put the odds in my favor. I at least want to give it a shot.

Thanks for all the info on the red tide. I know it is an unknown commodity and forecasting its magnitude weeks away is a crap shoot.

While I am hoping the storm does minimal damage to life and property I am wishing that the red tide is blasted away.

Take care
