PVC Crappie Trees and clear slim

[CrappieCoz]

My brother has put 3 or 4 PVC trees near his dock at the Lake and the cables rusted through so he went to fish them up and noticed a clear slim on them. Is that what the desired outcome is or a green moss to attract feeder fish? He thinks the clear slim is chasing the fish away.
Any thoughts?

I have seen the clear slime on tree branches. Sorry I don't know what it is.

Not 100% on this but I think clear slime is minnow eggs, minnows spawn all summer long on tree branches, vegatation and brush.

I really doubt the "clear slime" is anything unnatural, prolly just something growing on it cuz it can. Green moss may not be able to grow on PVC, not that I know for sure, but some scum would grow eventually, right?
