 Menhaden kill
Thousands upon thousands of dead Menhaden started showing up on Wrightsville Beach yesterday. So far no explanation as to why they are dead but lots of theories being floated around. Some say they were caught in a tidal wash, others think a large fish or school of large fish chased them there, one guy suggested it was the sudden change in water temp, others blame it on the Navy.
I sure hope it was a one time thing as we really need those fish on our coast to attract game fish - I was/am very hopeful the Stripers will show up down here this year (well they have but not in huge numbers yet). |
