I wasn't too sure I even wanted to post after the kerfuffle. I'm not too keen on getting called a prick. 
It just shows it used meaning redfish schools, as well. I've lived here almost twenty years and have heard the term used both ways.

never heard it called that, but got into a school just below the weir on the Calcasieu. School would pop up, 4 guys would all get on...school would go down and we would wait. pop back up, on again.

I guess I can call this a RED TIDE too! They are by the millions around my house.

As far as the name calling, the OP started. Yes, I was wrong to even go there to tell him to frick off bc I'm better person then that. I was not trying to bust him balls. Hell, I even posted that
As far as calling redfish trash, to me, they are. Had always been a trash fish. All my postings here about redfish , I always posted that they are trash fish. It was just the way I was raised. Fishing with my Dad as a kid, we never kept them. Way back then, one couldn't give one a way due to everybody in our hood called them trash fish or crab bait.
Due to having limits put on Trout and Paul Prudhomme fixing a meal out of burnt redfish, well, people started fishing for them. Way back in the 1960's thru early 1980's, the fleet went after redfish to sell to cat food plants. That was what wiped them out back in the day. They used spotter planes for the schools as the do with pogies now.
And yes, a dam real red tide is a man made killing zone. And yes, I have been thru them too!

Trying to pass on a little knowledge about the great outdoors we all enjoy, while at the same time sharing a fellow fisherman's excitement about an unusually witnessed event. Yes, Alx, I suppose I am.
I suppose being educated and speaking intelligently about the sport you love should be disdained.
Why don't you come over to Texas and catch some perch but be careful not to catch grinnel or short bar fish. Luckily the shinners are running now. There are some great spots on the creek especially on A frame point by the little dip hole. While you are out there pick up my womper I left from first split will ya.
See how fricking useless that conversation is?

Here's a Tx group from last Friday

Yeah. I obviously didn't read more that the title.

I've heard it called red tide before. I knew what the OP was referring to even before clicking the thread.

I understand that fine.
I also understand it creates ambiguity in conversation that need not be.

I quoted that because it's ignorant as it pertains to the local dialect conversation I posted.

Well considering you posted a pic that was not the Texas "perch" I was speaking of and you clearly didn't know what "shinners" I was talking about, I believe I proved my point.
Care to take a swing at the other fish listed, or the locations where they are caught, or maybe the item I mentioned being left behind and from when?

This thread is priceless. I've heard the schooling of redfish called a "red tide" before. I also know that the red tide is actually something completely different. I also know that when I'm ragging on a group of guys screwing around and call it a "circle jerk", that they are not actually standing in a circle jerking each other off. Sometimes, people say things to describe something that isn't the actual meaning.
