All my old honey holes are nothing anymore. Last time I was out there we were motoring along and saw something small in the water ahead of us.
I was idling along watching it, it looked like a turtle head but it was moving side to side as it progressed ahead slowly. Well, we finally got up to it
and it was a redfish, probably around three ft long. It had it's nose and mouth out of the water trying to make his way. We were going to net him and
do a close inspection but just as we got to him he went under. We looked around = there were no boats in the area where he might've
been just caught and released. After long deliberation the consensus was = he was stressed from the filth in the water ! ! ! !
Funny thing though is that he was the only one, didn't see anymore like that ........ Anyway, I'm sick of this filthy river, I used to go out there
and it was so clear that I'd dive in and swim around, just enjoying it. I think those days are long gone ........ And these people wanting us to
donate money to fix it = Money will disappear and it'll still be messed up.......

Doug - Yeah, I had the camera with me but just didn't get around to diggin it out, had we got a big stringer full I'd of done so, etc, etc, etc.

I understand your frustration. Sad how frequent these "accidental" sewage spills in the hundred of thousands of gallons happen. Almost like clockwork. Now that everyone is watching the lagoon side they start happening in the river. From my understanding even if they had a plan in place and permits in hand it would take 25 years to fix the Big O and same for Indian River and St Lucie river so likely same for the Caloosahatchie river.
