|
|
Believing a report the red tide had left inreasing numbers of fresh dead hardheads at least as far south as MP 10, I didn't use the pomp window I'd forecast. Then I got reports that the fish kill ENDED at the 10 and that they slayed the pomps yesterday, so I went to see for myself this morning. Sure enough, the dead fish stopped in Little Shell, although it was hard to stop coughing from the aerosol stirred up by a brisk south wind. Down around the northern 40s, where there were a lot of good points, the aerosol was pretty much gone.
Moved 4 times and boxed 2 pomps and 8 whiting, most of which were caught within minutes of each other just before noon. Also released 3 reds, 30", 34", and 40", and 1 brown pelican, which I didn't care to measure. Everything except the pelican on fresh peeled shrimp and Fish'nStrips. Plenty of finger mullet in the first gut, but I wanted pomps.
Water was clear, but a scattering of fresh sargassum made long rods a bit tough to use. Driving not too bad, just the usual ruts in Big Shell.
I want to point the middle finger at the campers who abandoned cots at one spot and 2 bags of garbage the coyotes had emptied at another site near where I fished. Couldn't fit the cots in the Blazer, but I had 2 leftover orange trash bags from Billy's Big Shell Cleanup, so I brought the garbage back to the dumpster at the end of pavement. While filling the bags, I noticed these dipsticks had brought aerial fireworks into the National Seashore.  _________________ The Trash Heap Has Spoken!

It's hard to undrestand why people do this are they Lazy, Stupid or just don't give a darn? Thanks for cleaning up after them though! Things like that that causes us all to loose access to places like the seashore. _________________ "If you aint livin' on the edge then your taking up to much space."

I will go YES on 1, DEFINITELY on 2, and MORE THAN LIKELY on 3.
What I find most troubling is that they took the time and effort to pack this stuff all the way down there, so I know they have room in the vehicle to take it back with them??????  |
