    Default Dead Rockfish

    There's a bunch of floaters at the mouth of my cove and on out around the bridge pylons. Decent fish (22-24in).
    With all this heat and dropping water, I imagine more will fall victim.

    Anybody else seeing th same around the lakes?
    Green island? Harry's?
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Saw one floating by Harry's the other day but that's it. You could have walked across the shad in the canal last weekend.

    I saw 6 or 8 in the cooper 2 weeks ago. 3 or 4 others that looked very sickly
    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

    Saw a few dead ones on Marion last weekend. Saw one in water only about 2' sitting still on the bottom. He barely moved. I may have been able to catch it with my hands.

    Luckily the beloved blu-cats won't be effected by low DO!!!

    DO levels are dangerously low. Surprised I'm not hearing about more ponds flipping.

    Skybusting, or the art of trying to magically propel steel shot 100 yards into the air at a passing duck, is a sure-fire way to ruin your own chances, and everyone else’s chances, at actually killing a duck.

    Ponds flipped down here last week. Saw several dead rocks on the lower lake last weekend all in the same size range.
