Monterey beaches covered in green stuff

"With the beautiful turquoise hue of the Bay hopes are high that the mass extinction is all part of nature's course."

How's the viz though???

I was on a power boat on Sunday.  We fished north of SC and cruised to the Concrete Ship and observed the unusual colored water for the entire reach.  Visibility was super poor; about 5 ft from my lure dunk test. We saw an unusually large number of Molas.  One even jumped clear out of the water. We caught a variety of rockies, and a large Starry Flounder but not a single Ling. Two other people I heard from caught large starrys last weekend too. Repeated lightning strikes and rumbling thunder continued over Monterey until at least 10am.  It was a very strange, but beautiful day on the water.
