[QUOTE=hutch]I notice that there are several dead fish washing up on my seawall. Maybe Red Tide??  Has anyone else on the bay seen dead fish?

We ate ouside at 331 yesterday and watched a cat pull up a huge dead fish from the bay shore and head under the deck!  Then we noticed about five more dead ones and immediately started checking our throats and eyes for RT symptoms!!!
