Pretty scary stuff for sure. I stopped at the Fisherman`s Den in Belmar at 7:00 am to pick up some clams and was told by a few guys what was going on. I went to the water to see myself and sure enough Fluke,Bunker, Flounder and a blow fish were just fighting to get air coming to the surface periodically and just sinking back to the bottom. After picking up the clams I made my way over to my boat, which is located on the river and it was the same story 1000`s of bunker all around dead or dying . As I made my way out to the ocean you could see that the fish were becoming more and more active. I returned to the marina at 3:30 pm and checked out a few bunker to find that gill`s of the bunker were pretty much disintegrated. It did not look like an algae bloom event and I am pretty sure it wasn't the result of a netter dumping a load.
