I suspect it was pretty good up by cleawater or sand key most of the day, but then thats a long drive for you

Lido beach or Siesta Key work on S/SW, they are alot closer to me. But the currents usually bad.
I hope we get some waves

BigR 01-14-2008 05:13 PM

which one works best or is easiest for a windsurfer?

I suspect Thursday I'll be tagging along with my father in law who'll be using all my old windsurfing stuff


LOL!!!!

Rodan'sWings 01-14-2008 06:17 PM

Both are OK for Poleboardin' but the inside current rips at Siesta. Ill try and post a report when the time comes.

Siesta Key Sharks - Anyone Else Seen?
 
hey all - trent has seen two sharks at siesta in the last few months - last one was a whopping 14' and before that a 9 footer

both have been between beach access 5 and 8 and only 20-40 yards from shore (I think they follow the deep, dredged channel that parallels the beach and heads to the pass

anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else has spotted them (not much freaks me out but those suckers do) - all I have ever seen are 4 footers


???

Yooooo JOE!

Thats fascinating, ive never seen any sharks at PB Siesta, and i grew up there. I hope they are only using the channel as a pass thru....or could it be their food supply is scarce? YIKES
