I went down to gas up the boat this morning in Apponaug cove and the marina is filled with 2-3 inch dead bait. There has to be 10's of thousands of them. The water quality is horrible in the cove, anyone else experiencing this?

I heard about this big fish kill in the A. Cove. They were interviewing Torgan from STB and he was saying that a massive Algae bloom, probably sparked by some crappy septic systems (npi, really) from this rain - sucked all the air out and killed the fish. I swung by there a little while ago thinking it was adult menhaden but i guess it's peanuts - either way it sucks...

The marina across from Crow's Nest?

I'm at #^&#^&#^&#^&ersons...the one at the mouth of the cove

I hate to see that stuff...we need all the bait possible these days.

It was peanut bunker.

Boy that's gonna stink tom. when it gets to 90
Watch, the residents who choke off access will want the state to clean it up.

No public access should equal no public funds for cleanup.

I thought something was strange... I stopped by a spot just outside Apponaug cove with my 3 year old. I let him reel a bottle popper a few times and he raked up dead peanuts on both casts.

I was told that some guy's pick-up the dead bait fish and freeze them to be used later in the season. Has anyone ever tried this, and how does it workout?
