Fishing 🎣 during a fish 🐟 kill

[NJ219bands]

Went fishing 🎣 in 97.8 degrees Robert G Martin Lake this evening on a hot 🥵, humid, sunny day with a light west wind before a thunderstorm and cold front. Found a dead 18” largemouth bass and more than 50 dead bluegills on the shore from an illegal cast netter. Saw more than a hundred dead and dying 14” gizzard shad in the lake. Reported the fish 🐠 kills to NJDEP and Hamstat. Threw out canned, whole kernel corn 🌽 for chum, then caught three bluegills including a double and a common carp with corn bait. Landed 42 carp this year. Took pics.
