Do Cold Currents = Natural Burley on Beaches?

[telcobroker]

Well I am not really the best person to read a beach as I have never lived close enough to one to regularly check it out.

BUT

I will fish on a beach where I reckon there is some wash and it looks like there may be some deeper water ie a gutter.

When I visited Port Macquarie I did have a beach fish but the warmer currents had brought the dreaded red weed with them and this made fishing near impossible. Then I suffered a few days or SE winds and rain which seemed to start driving the red weed back North and the water was noticeably cooler. One one of the half decent days after the rain I went for a walk along Flynns beach and noticed myriads or what appeared to be very small dead bait fish, probably about 3 - 5cm long. There were so many I don't think it would have been possible to take a step without going past one. Anyway, I didn't get a fish in but I can't help but wonder if it would have been a perfect time to fish the high tide that was a few hours off. Is it possible that the warmer east Aus current had carried tropical bait fish with it which had subsequently been killed off by the cooler water and sent up the beach?

I Have seen this thing before it happens after rain normally , it has somthing to do with over oxygenated water the fish just dont cope and die , it is a strange thing as you would think a fish would love freash oxygenated water , the only positive thing about it is that you can collect the fish for bait or bearly , normally on high tide you get the bigger fish move in and have a chomp.
