Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Craig, Denis S, and myself made our way to put in at Ft. DeSoto park around 8 AM just after low tide. Air temp was around 60 degrees with 9 mph winds. We found that there is a greatly reduced fishery after the red tide this summer in the south Pinellas county waters. Using live bait, cut bait, and plastic, we landed a few catfish, one bonnet head shark, one mangrove snapper and couple of lady fish, in addition to several smalls. We observed a couple of guides who were also having putting customers on fish. After trying many locations we called it a day around 3PM. We also noted a drastic reduction I sea grass all over the flats. Another beautiful day on the water.
If this report includes a tournament entry please state the species and length of the fish caught in this box. Butch – 19″ Ladyfish
