Surf’s Up Surf Report: Red Tide is Upon Us
It finally made it here. The kids posted a few pictures showing the red tide fish kill here at Honeymoon Island. I thought I might see a few on the beach after seeing their post with dead fish laying in the seaweed. Here at the beach today they all appear to have been cleaned up. The respiratory irritation and watery eyes are very mild. The surf’s up at about knee high or less probably caused by this south wind.

Snook were stacked up on the beach today. With the clearer than usual water the fishies were happy campers, able to see and breathe. On many rides they were seen cruising around. It was a mid-ougoing tide and the fish were sitting stacked up on the small rockpiles situated in between the two jetties. They were corralled into the pockets of rock sitting on the sandy spots. Others were along the inside edge of the sand bar. Most of them were way undersize, somewhere between a foot and a foot and a half long 12-18 inches. It would have been a great day to catch a bunch of way undersize snook.
