Guess you better not eat those tilapia either . Pretty sure it flows out of the canal though. Google maps is your friend.

Good to hear it's clean now....I was there 5yrs ago and it sewer stunk....dead fish on the beach so I didn't fish.
I did steal some Medjool dates off the palms...so delicious.

went there same time last year.. it was hot as hell. no smell yet. but the tilapia were starting to die off. i saw HUGE boils and casted into them for nothing. chased down the schools later on and found out it was just a bunch of dying tilapia gasping for air.

That's so sad I remember so many years ago I would always read great fish reports from there and now you never hear anything but death sickness
it's just like the the reeper has walked across that water

i guess thats what happens to man made waterways that don't get properly taken care of. if they (dont really know who "they are" dredged it and pumped more water from the duct in there and designated a run off, maybe transplanted some type of aquatic plant to create oxygen and get the cycle going that place could boom in about 3 years.

Heading out to the Salton Sea tomorrow with the crew. Fishing both shore & kayaks.

Should be a fun time. Hopefully the bigger Talapias are out to play with light line.
