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 Mike and I headed out for a morning of inshore fishing just to see what effects the Red Tide had on the area.  We used all artificial lures, mostly Gulp.  It was dead high tide and we tried the area up the Anclote River past the Alt 19 bridge but the water wasn’t moving and we didn’t even have a bite.  We moved out into the area in front of Gulf Harbors and caught fish in 3 to 11 ft for about 3 hours.  We then moved to the flats near 5A marker on the Anclote River channel and picked up a few more trout.  The size was between 13 and 16 inches on the trout.  We also caught black sea bass, puffers and catfish.  Around 1:30 pm it started to get hot so we headed in.  It was a great day of fishing, thanks Capt. Mike for putting on fish all day.
