PINS Red Tide

Spent a few days camping at Padre Island National Seashore last week. The area has been hit pretty hard by the red tide. Most of fish effected are non-gamefish and baitfish but there was also plenty of redfish (big and small), trout, mackerel, snook, etc. that were effected. It is a devasting sight, but it’s just mother nature doing her thing. The flats were fine inshore; no sign of a fish kill everywhere we went.

Here’s a few photos from the trip…

Full report coming soon…
