Title: Tough day in Westwego. 4-29-14
Post by: WestwegoMan on Apr 29, 2014, 5:56 PM

Fished the Tarpaper Canal area today. Screaming wind. Couldn't even get a bite. Tried night crawlers for perch and nothing. Even though I caught ridicule from Double D, tried for Bass also with no luck.

There is a strange green substance in the water. I can't recall ever seeing this before. I was thinking pollen or algae. Any thoughts?

Not sure if you will be able to make it out in the pic...

It's still here and pretty bad. Even seen a few fish and hundreds of minnows gasping at the top of the water like there are oxygen problems.

That's what I was thinking.

It's gone now, but so are the fish. [smiley=banghead.gif]
