Dead Fish

Did anyone or everyone see all the dead fish near the shore line on Saturday and Sunday? There must have been a few hundred in front of Lake Erie Community Park.
Some one said it was like that the whole way down to Virginia's beach.
From what I could see, They were mostly Sheephead.
What could case that?

    Same story around north east. I counted 50 dead in a 150 yards or so. Some smallmouth but mostly sheepshead.

    I was wroking saturday morning at the NE Marina. The fish commishion came in to tell me that all the fishemen should not panic. The sheephead were all dying due to the big temperature change aver the past few days in the water.  He said that some fish may live and some may die, they are in a state of shock due to temp change. He left and i said...I hope it's not VHS....

    Why not? Did you buy beta-vision?
     
    Showing my age, I know.
     
    Seriously though, it does happen every year. And this has been a hot one.

    Sad thing is, Beta was better just lacked the marketing that VHS had. Oh well, they're both dinosaurs now...
     
    Seems there's a post like this about this time every year, I'm with BH...

    I know it happens every year.  VHS=BS. This kill off was just a littel bigger than most.
