I don't know who is doing it, but god bless them!
Two big vacuum trucks in the two boat ramps at the end of Whiteley Cove suckin em up!
It was getting pretty rank over on Rex.
You coulda walked across all the dead mullet!
I had no idea who to call? _________________ Steve-O

| That's good to hear. I know they've been really thick over Padre Island as well. I'm just glad I'm not down at the end where you are |

Luckily, I'm about 200 yards upwind...
They also have a giant backhoe right at the end of your canal picking them up too.
Guy in the back of my cove, said more still coming in tho. _________________ Steve-O

I just found out that those trucks were supplied by the city manager from the city. Also this is what happened over in Padre isles.

| Padre Isles is still sacking fish. It is horrible at the dead ends of canals running north/south. Dead fish are covering the back sides of the spoil islands and the shores around the ski basin area. Dead fish are mostly mullet, skipjacks, and hardheads. |

| We have a few dead fish in our canal but last night I was amazed at the number of tiny fish circling in the fish lights. About the most I have ever seen before. There was also the occasional trout coming through looking for a meal. It was good to see. I wonder what they are, there are millions of them. |

give you two guesses; either laguna pirhana's (pinfish), or this year's mullet crop...

Both likely candidates.
Similar spawning season in each, Late Fall/Winter.
Throw in croaker as a choice, and you'd have a pretty solid 'Little Fish Under the Lights' Trifecta! |
