Seen the same, we were out to 115' NW of Sarasota.
Got our share of fish in 75' & was definitely a beautiful day on the water for sure.

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Not paranoid but not only do I have a shark shield but also carry 2 PH's in 44 cal.
1 screw on with safety pin and a back up slip on.

Better to have and not need than to need and not have.
