Here is something that is certain to get the PETA crowd all pissed off. Free fish for anyone that wants to pick them up! No hooks required - though a gig will make things go much quicker!
What The Bull is talking about is Jubilee.
It is a strange phenomenon that takes place on several shorelines Worldwide, but is a regular occurrence on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay near the town of Fairhope, AL. On Tuesday such an event happened; a long, over-night Jubilee (starting around 8 p.m. and lasting past 3 a.m. Wednesday). During those hours fish of all types, like flounder, eels, shrimp, stingrays, catfish and crabs, moved out of the deeper bay waters and into the shallow waters of the beaches near Fairhope. The fish and animals that get caught up are usually bottom-dwellers.
Jubilees are still a mystery. Often occurring at night, they can also take place in the mornings or evening. No one knows for certain what causes a Jubilee, but scientist seem to think that the main factor is a low level of oxygen in the water. Quoting from the story in the Mobile Press/Register:
“As water with low oxygen levels moves in the fish and crabs will move to the surface and make their way to the beaches. Because the animals are in a “drunken” state, they are easily scooped up by anyone who happens to be at the beach at the time. If the tide or wind changes, the Jubilee will end and any sea animals not caught by people or seabirds will move back out to deeper waters.”
There is no way to predict a Jubilee, however two required conditions are an easterly wind and a high tide. If you live close to the Eastern Shore, your best bet is get on one of the Jubilee ‘call list’ so you can be alerted when one does spring up.
Like I said, free food. 
What will really tick off the moonbats is the fact that they can’t blame this on corporate America, President Bush, the so-called global warming horseshyte, fishing, hunting, or any one of their other catch phrases or pet ’causes’. Jubilees are a purely natural phenomenon that was feeding the local American Indian populations long before the arrival of Europeans. Given time I’m sure they will find someone to ‘blame’ for the untimely demise of all of these good tasting fish and bottom-crawling critters.
(burp!) 
Bull, out!
