Hi, new to this forum. We love to fish but since red tide havent had any luck. Does anyone recommend an area in Englewood that is good right now were we can bank fish?

Hello, I don’t live local but figured I’d say hi and offer whatever I could. Actually I kinda wish I did live around there, or nearby, even if only part time.
It is a gorgeous location (when not in/after a storm$ and fishing can be great.
I live up in VA, just above the NC border now. I haven’t fished in FL for few years now but keep hoping I’ll get down more often now that retired.
I’ll check with my brother, lives up near Sarasota, and get back in a bit.
Sometimes you can’t get people to get back to you on here. It is a shame but many either tight/lipped or maybe just not into a particular area.

If you can get where you’ll be casting to/near any channels you’ve got chances of sea trout, spanishmackeral, whiting, maybe sheepshead, pompano, even snook and drum. Sharks are all over, but never thrilled me.
Check with a bait shop for advice too. What you catch depends on bait or lures you use too, not only where.

Try Ainger fishing pier off beach rd, just before the draw bridge in Engelwood. 🤙🏽

I never knew that pier was there, gotta be a great spot.
There's a bait shop right across street .
They are catching some nice mangrove snapper around the pier now use cut bait because they will steal the shrimp off too easy.
Best of luck 🙏

Can be hot and cold. I usually don’t get skunked. Anything from Sheephead, flounder, Bonnethead and cats. I usually wear a Raiders hat, say high if you see me. 🤙🏽

I’ll have to try that. I usually catch them floating shrimp around the drawbridge pylons. 🤙🏽
