Caspersen's quieter southern cousin. Same Peace River geology offshore, fewer crowds, surprisingly productive at low tide.
Workable but not ideal. Best window opens around the 9:20 PM low (-0.1 ft). Moderate SW winds (6 mph); seas around 1 ft.
Next 3 days: Mon is the pick (60); tomorrow runs cooler at 48.
Plan around the fair low-tide window. 2.0ft swing · spring tide · low 9:20 PM · 2.56" recent rain · +6 event boost.

The Hunt Score blends tide range, lunar phase, daylight timing, recent stir, wind setup, and surf.
Fair. Standard conditions — go for the volume hunt.
We are deliberate about which factors to include. These are not currently in the model:
If you think we should add one of these, log a hunt with notes — every rated outcome helps us decide which signals actually predict tooth count.

Sifter or eyeball the swash line. Shell-hash pockets between sandbars are gold.
Manasota Beach Park & Blind Pass Beach. Free parking, restrooms.
Same as Caspersen - beach surface OK; offshore needs FL Fossil Permit.
Trophy = headline find · Rare = real score · Uncommon = some trips · Common = most trips.
