River seems unusual today. Really strong irregular current. Just giving the heads up and trying to find more info. Maybe somebody dumped hundreds of dead croker out of an ice chest or something. I don't know what's going on. The river will turn to blood if much more things die in it today.

I live up on the calcasieu river in Moss Bluff, River is high with a strong current...Haven't seen any dead fish, but have seen PLENTY of dead crabs. Crabs came up when the river turned salty, crabs dieing after the rain...But we have been catching redfish at our wharfs on the westfork
