Dead peanurs bunker Atlantic Highlands

[HK1490]

I fish the Fishermen last night when we arrived at the marina around 11:30pm almost the whole area as far as we can see in the dark was white with dead peanuts.I never seen anything like that in my life.What a shame.....

Keyport was the same way yesterday. Stunk like hell. Ramps had to be powerwashed since they were slick as ice with dead nutz.

Pics from the fisherman last night while docking... so many dead peanuts it was insane.

There were so many in there around 7:00pm, alive, it looked like it was raining. I guess there was just too many.

Buddy sent me this around noon time, between the Atlantic Star and first dock.

Temperature probably , hot water less oxygen mass of fish & oxygen gets depleted fish suffocate . This may be the case .

Anybody know what this does to the biomass as a whole (or at least locally)? Looks like a ton of fish obviously but tough to have a frame of reference for it in the big picture.
