Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.

Re: Blooming Algae
Not if we get a cyclone between now and then Swindells - so yep.
Once the algae first appears then it doesn't disappear until we get a low pressure system, cyclone, or a really good southerly blow. It may look clean at times, but the water isn't blue like it's supposed to be - always green to brown.
Just been hosing snot weed off the Lux which is a bit painful.Comment

Re: Blooming Algae
Try and look on the bright side. Algae has to be part of a food chain somewhere, therefore, more algae,,,,more fish......eventually

Re: Blooming Algae
Rando, there is a school of thought that overfishing of shellfish such as oyster, scallop and abalone has contributed to algal blooms by reducing natural predation. But when an algae blooms and becomes a 'red tide' then it is no good for anything other than snot weed it seems. The former Noosa SC tried selling hincksia as compost, but it killed everything it came into touch with.
Surf today here is brown as, and I imagine it's doing the same thing up and down the coastline.Comment
