@r33mote ..I know your king in your boat - but in mine -I'll take the video for show in schools - it may impress a trash thrower..

typical youtube drivel. there are tons of fish in the bay. i go 10-20 times a year to the bay and always encounter crabs, jellyfish, fish, seabirds, and the occasional bald eagle. i have encountered zero shrimp in the bay for the past 20 years. a very simple thing that each and every individual is capable of performing, is to properly dispose of their trash and not throw it in the bay. bodies of water do not recycle garbage. every time i go i find myself cleaning up at least 5 pounds of crap.

@CaptainMikeD17 I grew up there to you used to stick your hand in and catch shrimp

I have to agree with Strikenetter. Pollution is the problem. I grew up on the bay and the bay isnt over fished the fish simply dont come in the bay because the water is to nasty, would you swim in a septic tank? When I was a kid we could hardly pull oyster dredges for the grass on the bottom now all that grass is gone due to the herbicides & pesticides used by farms. Realistate growth is another problem peope are building homes a few feet from the water, there is no more buffer zone for runnoff.

Looks like warm water, but I'd be too worried about sharks to swim in it heheh
