I noticed it also at the beach last week. Threw cast net and got a bucket of goo every time. I have seen it several times in lake, not sure what causes the bloom of it.

I just noticed it when the water gets really salty. Catch it all the time in the cast net. Another fun fact. It u disturb the jelly in the water at night it glows.

Fairly certain that it is some type of jellyfish. Ctenophores?

It is jelly. Get it on the "sensitive" parts and it does burn.

Run threw it in your boat at night and prop wash glows.
10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish |

We used to catch it shrimping. We called it burning jelly. Burnt like hell on your skin.

Correct. It is most likely a Ctenophore. Also known as a comb jelly. They do not have tentacles or stinging cells (nematocysts). So they don't sting. Some species of them are capable of bioluminescence which is the ability to make themselves glow or light up using types of proteins, if I'm not mistaken.

That crap will end a good night of skimming real quick.

We get em every year here in VB also. They're Sometimes some aggravating lil suckers to get out the net.

You can see them bioluminesce at night in the surf sometimes in Florida. Makes you feel like you have been drinking too much
There is another 'blob' in freshwater that most people think are gar eggs or frog eggs but are actually called bryozoans, you can look em up and you have probably seen em before and not known what they were cool story i know:*****: |
