FISH KILLS

Anyone seen or heard of major fish kills on the Amite, Tickfaw, Tangipahoa, Tchefuncte, Bayou Lacombe or Manchac canals and North Pass? If anyone posted concerning this I missed the post.

maybe they all need some rainfall to dilute that bad water--not another flood just some rain

Hot weather and dead grass are the problem

Grew up fishing city park in NO and almost every summer they had a major fish kill in one of the ponds. This would happen after a heavy rain that would have a major run off and it would kill the grass. We got what we need this week a strong North wind to pull out all this trash and cool the water.

Tickfaw , blind , and Amite all had fish kills . It wasn't nearly as bad as the fish kills after Katrina .

The water is just now getting back to normal levels . Even with the northerly winds it's taken it's time leaving out . There is also a nasty film on top the water , reminds me of a gumbo spoiling while your cooking it . Stinks !

Tangipahoa River

the Tangipahoa River had a lot of dead fish all weekend, i think this storm really set us back as far as bass fishing.

re:amite river

below french settlement had a decent amount of floaters,,, too bad, some of them were some really nice sized bass, larger than anytihng I've heard being caught on a hook. All the bream I used to feed everyday are gone, I've been running a water hose flow into the river off my dock since the waters receded,trying to help with a little areation,, have a very few small bream still sucking on top,,, got that black film as mentioned.

One good thing is that I have seen many dead asian carp floating. I hope it kills everyone of them things.

Fish

Im beginning to think the fish kill is worse than I had originally thought . I haven't seen as many dead fish as I did after Katrina because the water stayed so high for so long , a lot of fish died in the high water back in the swamp or woods . They sank before they could float out to the main rivers .

I'm no biologist or anything but that's just my opinion . The water is so bad right now nothing could survive in that . It'll be a while before we have fish again .

Re: hero

What admiral means is the fish dying off is like running out of liquor to a wine O .. The fishermen are already getting the DTs .

I very rarely quite catch his gist, therefore the 'I don't understand rabbit' comment above.
