Early Summer Tarpon

On a recent fishing trip the clients requested to fish for some poons. Now this usually is an easy request, but this year the poons were very weary. I say this because the day before in many scouting I found them to be more active and willing to participate. The water was stained and clean, the day of the trip the water had changed over night. Now this was something new for me, I'm convinced this had affected the activity of the fish. Below the surface of the water about10-12inches there was a layer of suspended silt ( ?). It seemed to be some what thicker consistency which just rolled under the surface and never mixed when disturbed. What ever this was the Tarpon seem to not care for it, not sure how far it went down in the water column. The fish were much fewer than the day before, fish were caught and fish were jumped. So the day was not a lost, just not as good as hoped for. Still I would like to know what that bio matter is and how it effects the eco system.
