The gulf is in low to mid 80s, probably will cool a tad after all the rain coming up this week and wind. The water is warm enough to swim but too many sharks around right now. We caught probably at least 20 to 30 in the last 2 weeks.

Yes come on down, its nice now because all the snow birds have gone back north. Now it only takes 1/3 of the time to go anywhere. Plenty to do here, you got Baseball in St. Petersburg, hard rock casino in Tampa which is right off I-4, Busch Gardens right in same area, Clearwater Beaches, Ybor City which is a big party area, Disney of course which is about 1 1/2 hrs east of Tampa. And theres plenty more.
