I was offshore today and I think there is some red tide out there about 10 miles NE of packery. I got a water sample in a water bottle, and some video. I didn't see any dead fish, but the water definitely had a brownish streaked tint to it. I'll post the video shortly.

any other repots?

The official website said low concentrations were also found in Laguna Madre by Bird Island Basin.

good news. the sample I took offshore yesterday did not show any red tide in it! there was some sort of dinoflagellate called pyrodinum bahamese in the water.

On the news tonight it said concentrations of red algae we're up along the seashore

I was thinking of hitting the surf tomorrow. Is the red tide building up again, or should I be good to go?

Hopefully it won't be affecting the local beaches this weekend. I plan to hammer them!

Like OFT trash said, the bloom was not Karenia brevis, the red-tide organism. The Pyrodinium actually makes a phosphorescent bloom that is pretty neat to see at night. It's always present in our local bay systems, but it is rare to see it bloom offshore.

Anyone know how it's is south of bob hall? Hoping to take my boys after work tomorrow and one has asthma, so I need to avoid affected areas of possible.

I fished from the blacktop down past the 15mm in the mroning (9/21). No red tide that I saw. Ton of large skip jack, couple reds, small spanish macks, tons of bait. Even saw a couple of kings go airborn past the third bar. Looked great. May go again this morning after work tonight.
