Well, I wasn't so far off after all. I thought they were butterfish. Thanks, Carl, that takes away the sting of being incorrect.

Talked to someone down there today and there is some thought that this might have been a combination of factors, possibly, and this has no sample based evidence, that there may have been a mix of low DO and a brown tide.
Turns out the comment about a jubilee type event was correct, multiple reports of crabs, flounder, stingrays and eels swarming the beach inside the pass
Very strange event, I've been here since 1997 and I dont recall this happening at this magnitude in this location before.Carl

Are you aware of any pathogens associated with brown or mahogany tides?

Really outside my area of expertise. I seem to remember brown rides showing up a few years back in weeks bay, I will shoot the WBNERR an email and see what info they have.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
