Weather looks good! 72 degrees, mostly sunny, 0% chance of rain, single digit wind speed.

Incoming tide all morning with a solunar major from 10:13 am to 12:13 pm.

There should be lots of fish caught. Anyone going to use live or dead bait?

Yes

Even more reason to sign up is that I will be in Atlanta for my daughters cheer competition. Without me there that leaves first place wide open for everyone else. Because, as you all know, I am a ringer and guys usually don't sign up when they know I am going to be there.

I usually use live bait with my son on a pop'n cork. Just easy for him to use. I was planning on using a gulp shrimp and do a little experiment to see which one gets more attention.

Any body know of a bait shop in that area?

The Bait Bucket in Tierra Verde. As soon as you come over the drawbridge it is in the center on your right north of the 7-11.

Thanks Todd!

Whew! Now that I know Todd has bailed, I am in....

FreshlySalted scared me! Tell me he is not using his under a popping cork!!!! I'm jealous my boy so friggin big if I did that it would scare all the fish or it could be his beard....

Bait shops in the area, Hart's Landing (under Ringling Bridge), New Pass Bait Shop (next to New Pass Bridge), All About Fishing (US41 next to Sarasota High School), Economy Tackle ( South US41 before you get to Stickney Point) there are others further South. Venise Jetty's and I know there is at least one more in Nokomis can't remeber the name.........
