[QUOTE="heweslt20, post: 55795"] I'm a native Floridian, 5th generation. I've grown up on the water here so I know a little about the area waters.Red tide is a algae bloom that attacks the nervous systems of fish. We are currently having a bad outbreak of it now in the Tampa Bay area waters. As for sharks there are certain places and times you don't swim in the water. Mostly dusk and dawn. Bull sharks and Hammerheads often follow schools of Tarpon and other migratory fish along the beaches. In the spring they follow them north to the Panhandle and then follow them back south near the fall season. The recent attack in Boca Grande is known for having tons of sharks in the pass including a HUGE 20ft plus Hammerhead nicknamed Hitler! Also one other thing, its against the law to pet,touch or harass Manatees. If any of you are in the Tampa area on vacation and wish to find the good fishing spots or places to avoid let me know.
