Redondo beach marina will be smelling really bad in a few days. What a waste that many sardines could have made a commercial bait fisherman a small fortune. Now it will cost $100,000 to cleanup.

For the first day a guy could probably scoop up and freeze a lot of them for bait.

 

I was thinking that too, last time I bought live bait cost me $25 half scoop. that gives you about 5 pounds of fish for $25. A full scoop is $35, or about $3.50 per pound. I'm sure there is a few tons of dead fish floating there.

 

what killed them?

 

It was suggested on the news that they were fleeing a predator and got into and area with insufficient oxygen in the water.

I heard it was the Komifornia RED tinge in the water, or maybe it was the RED tide.

 

Good thing you are at a safe distance and don't have to be there! You clearly don't understand the place.

 

Not sure exactly what caused it, but I am fairly certain that the tea party and the lack of a single payer health care system has something to do with it...

 

It was President Bush's fault.

 

Boy.....be real careful..or we WILL send our governor moonbeam up there to be your next Prime Minister!

 

Rumor has it that Nancy Pig-lousy went for a swim in the area right before the discovery.

 

The other rumor was that a release of gases in the water from the sea bed killed them. Did they test any of the fish?

 

Update is they died from what appears to be the toxin associated with red tide, and possibly the combination of lack of oxygen when they tried to get out of it.

Good call Aaron.

 

I heard they were trying to out run the tsunami that they senced was comming in a few days. But they hit a dead end when they ran into the bay.
