Sandy Hook Oil Spill today

[shresearchdude]

Still not many details. Reported @250pm(ish). 2 miles long? 400 yards wide?
Strong West wind and outgoing tide.
Most that were responding were getting on site as it got dark.

don't get confused by the spill that was reported years ago...it comes up if you search SH oil spill

Kind of interesting a tug sinker in our marina Leonardo and marina got doused with diesel fuel. My bet it still leaking oil and that's the source

A week ago I was fishing on the Capt Cal 2 and I noticed what looked like a oil slick similar to gas floating on the water. Couldn't quite figure out where it was coming from because it was coming from the bow of the boat. It was hard sometimes to reel up and put fresh bait on because I waited until the slick moved enough so I wouldn't run my bait through it. I wonder if it was the same slick.

Fished with Fischer Price last Saturday and saw a really big slick that looked like gas coming around the hook...

We were out back in October and noticed a dark brown trail following a tanker on its way out of the reach channel. It was by the bug light with a west wind and outgoing tide, like today. Thought it might be kicking up mud but it was riding high because it just unloaded. We never reported it but now I'm thinking we should have said something to someone.

Hmmm! I wonder what it from.
