Harbour "green"

[rickster]

Spent an hour or so yesterday trying to find a blackfish or two in the harbour. Nil success. What i did find interesting is the unnatural colour of the water. I fished around Walsh Bay not far from the bridge and also had a look around Prymont. The water colour in both areas was the same. Slightly discoulered with a greenish tinge to it. Just doesn't look "fishy" and I don't think it could be blamed on the rain as we've had a lot of big tides lately. Have others noticed similar throughout the harbour?

Harbour is dirty. I went down to the boat on sat morning. Looked at the colour of the water and decided i would be better of going later in the week.

Yep .. water quality in the harbour is ordinary at the moment. That green tinge is no good. Should clear if we get a couple of good weeks weatherwise.

I've seen the water board or someone using a green dye to check the flush on creeks and stormwater drains around Sydney.

If they've done a bit of that around the place it could discolour the water a bit. The stuff they use has a strong flouro green colour.
