Florida RED Tide at Ft. De Soto

Question

GOOD DAY! Hubby &amp; I have had a 2 week September trip planned for Ft. De Soto Campground, for almost 6 months now.They are experiencing VERY HIGH Red Tide, so we are working on PLAN B for where to go &amp; where to stay.WE have not cancelled our original reservations yet and are praying the RED TIDE subsides......we are giving it a couple more weeksDoes anyone have any experience visiting the beach shortly after such a devastating event???Does anyone have any fishing knowledge as far as how long it takes for fish to come back after red tide?

Red tide is a somewhat localized event.  Some events are larger than others and last longer.  I would not want to be anywhere near the beach during or shortly following a red tide.  Nor would I consume any seafood.  You may want to consider the other coast of Florida.

You won’t miss much if you have to cancel but the heat.  As a previous resident of 70 years, it’s going to either be very hot or a hurricane will be expressing itself.
