    Michael,
    Without benefit of seeing it, I would guess that it was "Red Tide", a
    naturally occurring algae bloom. It is no surprise that there are varying
    opinions but many folks feel that the problem is exacerbated by pollution.
    There was an outbreak in the south, off Ft. Myers/Sanibel early this summer
    and it has been slowly creeping north all summer. Unfortunately, this has
    become a very common occurrence in Florida waters, at least on the left coast.
    It was so bad last summer that my son sold his 25' Grady White fishing boat
    and bought a flats boat which is much more portable. He gave up on offshore
    fishing and now targets the skinny water and can trailer the boat to where the
    Red Tide ain't!
    Regards,
    Randy Pickelmann
