saltfisherman Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Todays news for afternoon. In Naples; Drs Pass had huge washup of dead fish. Laudermilk had dead crabs Matlacha, had a turtle was up. Totals of turtles dead is now at 700. Yes that’s 700. Figure out the math, they lay about 100 eggs and of course most don’t survive. 1 of 1000 survive to sexual maturity. But those that do don’t have a chance now. Generations lost. This is a blank blank Fn disgusting mess. It makes us sick to our stomachs. We moved here for the wildlife, now we have less left. Im Glad I have pictures taken of some of it. When the crabs are dying you know it’s hit the entire water column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBM Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I wonder if a hurricane travelling up the long axis, S to N, would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was reading a little on this earlier , and some claim the hurricanes only make it worse , or actually cause the red tide . The heavy rain runoff is littered with fertilizer and chemicals that can feed the algae.

BrianBM Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Yes. However, since the red tide is so pervasive and heavy this year, perhaps a heavy dose of rain would affect salinity and accelerate the dispersal of the fertilizer. I'll call Norm's Fly Shop tomorrow and commiserate with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltfisherman Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 It’s interesting living in a state that is by all means flat. The elevation change is only something like a foot from north the south. Because of that the runoff that other states would see is very defined and specific to bodies of water. We get what they call “sheet flow”. It’s nothing more than a slow moving large area of slow moving waters. The whole thing moves like a sheet, hence the name. It takes time for the flooding aspect to happen, it builds over time. The idea will be that the rains from further north will slowly make their way towards us. The rain could be a group of days events to the watershed areas. It’s not just like an enlarged river and then it goes down in height. The rise of a lake like Lake O will be days of rising over a longer period of time. It might not stop rising for weeks to come from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltfisherman Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 It would be pretty fantastic that a given hurricane going to a different part of the state could help where the understanding is a hurricane gave us the worst of the algae and red tide growth. The hurricane irma is believed to have stirred up Lake O and that is what has let the growth of the algae get so bad this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo2627 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi, Just was looking for the best place to go Friday on shore and maybe see the mullet and stuff. But yesterday on was in Hollywood just before Dania on Oak st walking maybe three blocks nort and sout I must of seen 100 dead assorted grunts some kind of a trigger fish the were all very small no bigger than 5 in. so I thought they were washed up from the surf and should I think also could be Red Tide.?
