Thread: The green tide

Went out to the Glen hunting vis after a hopeful weekend ...got out there to find the green tide had arrived and in a massive way ..any ideas thoughts on why its so early and thick ...the mud flats are just getting a tinge but a week and it will be the same ...apparently its edabile ...

Google say El Niño , certainly an interesting pattern of weather ..blue cod are well off the bite, nothing large from the Glen to Stephens on the bite ...this weekend and the last two I have spoken to a number of fishers and being one myself that was plagued by small / undersize cod , a work mate was a Stephens on Monday , no snapper kingi's or Hapuka , and the cod were very average!

I just know its a barstard in the flounder net.....not enough rough weather of late to rip it off? Water temps still around 11-12deg so it hasnt warmed significantly yet....Maybe its a daylight hours thing?

Could be will post some google stuff very interesting ... well if your interested in seaweed!

Got to be good for your garden mate.

Got to wash out the salt is all , and it's a tad wiffy decomposing

Well this was a cocidecnce ...
A Nelson man turning seaweed into organic fertiliser says the invasive algae is the best pest you can get.

It's magic shit for your garden, my old man gathers it after storms, then leaves it on decking down in the garden for a couple of showers, then parks it on the garden.

I reckon it could be seaweed. Just a theory given the close proximity of the sea.
