I'm hearing the same thing from peeps at Grand Isle (and what i experienced recently while there) and in today's Advocate, there was an article on the annual dead zone. While the article indicated that the dead zone was not as large as it was predicted to be, it is supposedly as large as it was last year. The pix showed a red mass (illustrating the approximate size of the DZ) that seemed to be hovering just south of G.I. and extending Westward. While the pix didn't seem to show it extended all the way to Tiger Shoals, south of Marsh Island, I'm wondering if that might explain why the specks aren't showing up offshore as normal. If you couple that with Biggun's comments about all the specks being caught in VB during that tournament he was involved in, that might explain some of this. Just saying
