Dead zone
I didn't hear about the dead zone until some buddies out of Venice told me about it ,,,we were catching our snapper easily in this one spot or 2 every trip and every season for years
Then about 2 weeks ago , we go out and all I see is millions of jelleys over the snapper grounds, it was weird
I didn't mark a fish nor did we catch one , first time this has ever happens
Then some spear guys go down and said it was weird looking Dead Sea looking water they never seen
So I tried to put the politics behind me and research for first time and found this article saying:
"The present gulf Dead zone causing hypoxia in gulf waters flush bottom fish , shrimp, bait fish out and a large presence of jelly fish in , as squid and jelly fish move to waters with less oxygen and no presence of predator fish taking advantage of dead zone waters"
Honestly ,I can't say this is what happened , but man it sure was coincidental
It was weird
