I think they may be referring to the substance that gives the baitshop's water the blue and green coloring. I think it's a type of conditioner/disinfectant.

Thank you as well. Hopefully next time , they will have moved shallower. What part will you try next? There are a couple of parts south of the ramp that may be good.
