fished a little yesterday off of Newport. I noticed that the water is brown. Does anyone know what this is about. I noticed that on the oncoming tide the brown water was getting pushed against the shore. Looked a little like Algae. Good trip caught striper, seabass, scup and of course bluefish. Saw no signs off albie or bonito. I wonder of he dirty water is causing problems with the fish?

its called rust tide. I dont know a ton about it.

I saw it coming out of westport the other day all the way across to Cutty and as far down as sakonnet,,, yuck! Can't help, hey?

I saw this from th bridges for the past two days and was highly concerned. Glad it is organic.

I saw it on Sunday, it was weird. I was in clean water fishing and it was good, can't imagine that stuff helps the fishing.

Rob- I was fishing the east passage of Narragansett Bay and once the rusty water got really dense the fishing shut off From what I have learned the aglae isn't toxic but does reduce the oxygen in the water.

All over the Bay north of the Bridges.

My father calls me and says:

" All this disgusting SH*T water is moving in from new york"

I was cracking up... I love his theories.

RI guys crapping in the water so they don't lose their spot to a Mass guy. Happens all the time.
