I really hate to ask for fear of scaring visitors off, but have there been any reports of red tide in the last couple of days? :idontno:

Fuzz had a call at Gulf Place yesterday and says that the moment he got out of the car, his eyes began burning. Even after rinsing them out with saline solution, last night he was still :blink:

.

He's better today, after a dose of Benadryl and many vials of Refresh...

Has the red tide situation improved? I was down last week and it was the worst I ever remember. I am planning to return next week, but I am waiting to hear about the beach conditions. It is no funn when you can't even sit outside! Thanks all!

Yes, you do. You should have checked your facts before you printed the story. Maybe you are not responsible for the headlines, but you are responsible for the content. You didn't check your facts and printed a false sense of security.

Thanks! Not true, but thanks for the input!

Anybody smelling anything or seeing dead fish today? Apparently the beaches from Destin to Pensacola are littered w/tens of thousands of dead fish

I think the kids buried the 50 or so fish they found at Grayton yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised at how few dead fish were around. It was a little fishy smelling, but not terrible.

Its really a shame to have it happen exactly when the fish begin schooling up...Has anyone seen fishkills back by 331 bridge or has it been strictly in the gulf
