Along the lines of the fish seen floating on the surface dying, A friend of mine fishes for stripers everyday . He said they almost always catch 10 -25 fish most around the 20 inch mark. Some of the dead fish may be due to the low oxygen levels but in my opinion I think that alot of the fish seen floating are released fish. At any given time there are 10 - 40 striper boats from the **** to wolf creek. If they all catch 5 fish , after pulling them out of 30 -50 ft of water and release them into the 90 degree water we have ?????? Any one can do the math !!!!
