Red tide is killing the fish
« on: July 11, 2021, 01:59:42 PM »
We have red tide almost every year, but not this early and this bad.  I had a friend go out yesterday and couldn’t get out of the bay because of the smell from dolphin, grouper, snook, reds, tarpon etc. all floating belly side up. It’s a shame Piney Point was neglected for so long. 

So if your thinking about floating the candy or fishing down here. 
Meat per pound may do better here, but it will be with a dip net.

Cheers

When you look at a sat view of FL and all the people crammed into the habitable areas along the coastlines, it's a wonder anything lives there. I'll be there in sept so maybe it'll be better. No biggie if not. I kinda like the fresh water stuff more anyway.
Alas, all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth. Yet, I have not given up all hope that human beings and nations may be able, in spite of all, to learn from the experience of other people without having to go through it personally. The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
