Notes

Quite a few people fishing from the pier & observed a few boats heading out from the channel into open water. I noted the boats would be an "other" pollution source. The folks fishing advised they weren't getting any bites and fishing appeared to go flat about four days prior. The beach on the other side of the pier is frequented by dogs.
