I would think this "emergency" situation should be over soon with the cooling of the top thirty feet of water where there is and always has been plenty of Oxygen.

Here are the forcast lows for Jamestown today through the 15th.

51, 41, 52, 60, 65, 65, 65, 63, 60, 55, 52, 50

This is quite a bit cooler than last year.
Peter This is just proving what I think is adding to the problem they are still catching them. 90 percent of those fish are going to die, either by being filet or being released into the 86 degree water after fighting on the end of the line. Correct me if I am wrong Are you a guide on cumberland. If so on the average day how many undersized fish will you catch ,that you (by law) must release. (before the reg change)
