I just got back from checking out the beach. On the south side of Packery, the beach is filling up with dead and dying fish which the birds are not feeding on. Most of the fish seem to be shad. You can see many more flopping in the shallows and first gut. I saw no dead/dying fish on the beach north of Packery nor south of Whitecap. My eyes started stinging and I started coughing while around Packery, but there was no noticeable color to the water that I could see.

There is also a report of dead fish washing up in Port A at beach marker 5.

I took the cart South of Bob Hall to check out the surf just before the Cowboys game. We saw quite a few shad washing up around marker 240.

We were on PINS Thursday to Sunday and saw no dead fish from the entrance to the 35 and back again.

Drove from the pier to the bowl and back around 7 AM this morning. There were. Few dead bumper shad on the beach. The birds were eating those along the water line. And I didn't notice any smell or eye nose irritation.
