polluted

[fisherman from long beach]

i hit up n.p.h last night,was working the docks out at the island and a young lady was walking by and told me did you know the water is polluted?i said yeah and told her i dont keep the fish just having some fun.and she continued to tell me the city of n.p dumbed something in the bay by accident and they posted these lil warning all around the island ,i did'nt see them until she pointed to them.i ignored the warning and kept fishing.i was working the dropshot got caught in some eel grass and pulled a nice handfull of it up,then i noticed a bright blue substance on the weeds,it was about the size of a green pea,and it had a glowing effect to it.i showed a couple of folks that were walking by and 2 guys said that it might be phosphorios.so i cut my trip short,just wantd to give the headsup to some of the tubers or dock fisherman to be carefull.fisherman from .l.b.

Quick question who were the signs posted by? I called harbor patrol they gave me a number to health agencies they control beach closures but they are closed. habor patrol didnt know anything about and wanted to know who the signs were posted by. i was ssupposed t hit up the harbor tomorrow.

That glowing blue "stuff" was probably bioluminescent organisms, comes with the red tide usually. I've seen it alot in NPH during the summer.

[Jaysuuun]

NPH smells like @$$ especially during low tide, but the fishing there is great.

[hbomb]

Mannnnn thats to bad. Glowing blue stuff coming out of the water is not good...

[sansou]

Not sure what you guys have up there, but down here in SD, when the water is warm (ie. summertime), we have blue/green bioluminescence in the bay. It's natural.

The crashing waves glow, and the mackerel accumulate it (their poop glows).

ive been eating fish from here for years. no glowing poop :lol:
