Florida RED Tide at Ft. De Soto

[reelcamper1]

GOOD DAY! Hubby & 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 & 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 weeks

Does 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?

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.

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.
