Why doesn't that surprise me? ?

 

I would love to find out why such large number of fish got killed. They say that the waters are pristine and that nothing like that ever happened.

When striper are involved its almost always dissolved oxygen content and/or temperature of the water. Sound like their early hypothesis is that a large group of them forgot to migrate south 

 

ive walked on a beach covered in dead fish in FLA, it’s quite stinky

That would certainly make sense and I do believe you're correct with the oxygen, but why just a school of stripers? As far as temps, there are always holdovers.

 

They did look tasty, ehh?

That’s kind of why it seemed like a decent guess to me, because striper seem more sensitive to oxygen content fluctuations than any other fish

Hopefully we'll know soon. I do agree that water temps have been warmer and warmer a lot later in the the year. With the cold late season rain days, I'm sure that cooled the water really quick.

 

Up in Maine we're seeing much warmer water and more and more shark closer to shore than years past.

My brother was in Maine when that lady was killed by the great white recently, I think he was 30 miles north or something kayaking of all things!

Yeah that was 2 summers ago. She was 20 yards from shore swimming, imagine her daughter witnessed that? There no way that kid is emotionally right.

Yes I heard it breached like they do on the discovery channel. Scary stuff 

Animal lovers have always caused shark problems with their ................Lets have ALL THE SEALS possible along the ocean beaches...............Any top shark will kill any animal TRESSPASSING in the seal beaches.

 

Right  Seals are to be allowed to over populate any area. Then blame anything except the animal lovers.
