I was for decades a dedicated saltwater fisherman off the Mississippi Coast and fished 50-100 days a year.
I only have one story. This was August around 1997 or so. We were fishing off Chandelier Islands about middle of the island near the rigs in about 50 foot of water. It was a hot August day with glass seas, (like a lake) and no wind at all, barely a cloud in the sky all day . It was hot as hell. Visibility was ridiculously good you could see forever. In the afternoon we see a rectangular patch of water where it was really rough and white capping, as did the guys on the rig. It was maybe 100 yards across or wide and I would say 300 to 400 long. It moved across the water about 10-15 mph from the Southeast maybe 3-5 miles off the Island moving in a NW direction. We watched it for about 30 minutes or so as it until it went through a cut or space between the islands.
It was very windy in this little box but that’s it. It was like a giant invisible airship or something was hovering over the water. Really have no explanation for it still. It could have been some freak weather occurrence but it was definitely in a rectangular pattern and went in a direction as if it was a ship or something.
