As most of you know, red tide is down here in Corpus Area. This weekend, while surfing, I combed the beach to see what species of fish I could find among the thousands of dead fish laying on the beach. To my horror, I saw several of the nices trout I have seen all year. One of which, easily went 30 inches. Even worse, I counted 4 large snook laying dead and bloated. I have always wanted to catch a good size snook and have never had the opportunity. To see 4 trophies laying dead was down right depressing. Thankfully most of the hardest hit fish were things like mullet, croaker, and hardheads but there was a large population of young pompano and jack cravelle laying dead. Also found 1 small mangrove snapper. Gratefully, I did not see very many redfish. They sure are tough. On a strange note, I saw many snake like creatures. No, they were not eels but more like sea snakes. Kinda beat up so could not be certain though I did not think they lived in these parts. Anyways, Sad story!

TK,
how long has the redtide been down there? didnt know we got it that often over here, being from Florida I used to see it all the time.

all of last week. Then it kinda went away over the weekend. Now, the surf report says its back again. We dont get it as often as south padre but as evident we still get it.

Has it been back bad again TK? WE had a run of it one year but its been a while back...

I think its pretty much gone but maybee still a small hint in the water. Went surfing last Tuesday and the water was beautiful. Very clear but still could see a little pink here and there. Did not see a sinlge dead fish though.
