Red tide continues to creep up the west coast of Florida, impacting beaches and coastal businesses. It's forcing one charter captain to completely change his path to keep his business afloat. "Usually, this early in the season, we don't see red tide... Down south by Clearwater, we started losing our bait. That's usually kind of the first tip to us that we have something in the water. Usually, red tide," Charter Captain Brian Mathey, said. Mathey said red tide can kill any chance of catching good bait fish, which he depends on to put food on the table.
