Fishing the red tide questions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was still able to get a handful of bass last weekend in about 40-50' of water by dropping jigs down in the clear patches between the red. Water was clear about 1.5 miles offshore and there was TONS of bait out there. I'm thinking the red tide is pushing the bait out further? Which might mean some pelagic species might be coming in a little closer... Maybe just wishful thinking lol
If the red tide lasts long enough, it can choke out the kelp forests, which would be really bad....
