Cold weather impacts 'fish kill' on SPI - KRGV

While freezing temperatures left many Valley residents cold and in the dark, marine life on South Padre Island also felt the impact of last week's winter storm.

As temperatures dropped, fish in shallow waters, like coastal areas and resacas were killed.

As fish sought out warm waters it became easier for some to catch them.

"All of a sudden you see people coming in and their catching fish after fish after fish, "Shane Wilson, chief executive officer of Fishing's Future, a non-profit organization focused on angler education, said. "And they're decimating those large breeders in the population."

Wilson said it's not just trout being affected. 

"Mother nature's taking out the mullet,” Wilson said. "Now we're losing the big fish to the fishermen. And we're losing the food supply for more."
