There has been a fairly hefty fish kill on our bay over here within the past 2 days or so and I was wondering if anyone had an idea what caused it?? It seemed to be species specific with mullet, puffers, eels, and small fish that I heard a guy call "razor tails" and just a few specimens of other game fish. I saw no reds or lady fish or specs or flounder in any of the kill areas that we inspected yesterday. We started at my dock in Miramar Beach and went to the Destin bridge, 2 spots on Okaloosa Island, 3 on the bay up around the Cinco Bayou bridge area, and ended at the foot of the Val-P bridge where we finally found the water clear enough and few enough dead fish to launch our kayaks.
We didn't get a single strike all afternoon nor did anyone fishing from the Val-P bridge that we saw. I thought that the Red Tide passed through our area about a month ago and was pretty well cleared up but now I am not sure. And doesn't the tide kill most everything in its path by de-oxygenating the water?? Man, in some spots the stench was so bad you didn't want to get out of the truck to look!!
What's going on with this late fish kill??
