Why is the water brown in Raritan Bay?

[Monty]

With the August days of Summer upon is, Raritan Bay full of algae and possibly higher fecal content.....
I thought it was time to resurrect this thread for some laughs and Monty's benefit....nice job on the story, people.

Its crystal clear on parts of LI Shamski.

I don't know how folks could fish water that brown. The water here is so clear you can see the bottom in some places. One place you can't is Boston Harbor. Still sounds a heck of a lot cleaner than that bay of yours. Disgusting.

No offense but I dont think the fish really care! I stopped by a rb inlet on the way home and baitfish all over. No big fish seemed like lots of small ones.

[surferman]

Good point. They call stripers saltwater carp. and you know a lot of carp live in dirty or muddy water. Funny thread though.

[hookedonbass]

Yep and sometimes striped bass will eat bread and such. They could be cousins to carp.

Maybe you could bring this the next time you go to china.
