Are they dead, or dying and floating?
I figure that if they've been floating for awhile, they might be a little off.
Plus, the eagles, hawks, osprey and loons might be having their fill as well?

For those connoisseurs of fine fillet eating... the white perch are starting to show up. Caught a dozen last evening on the big lake. Including 6 of the largest sunfish I've seen in awhile.

The sunfish are going into pre-spawn and some of them can be outright HUGE.
My simple goal when ice fishing is to hopefully (and usually) get a "hand-sized" sunfish.
I tend to get my biggest in late spring/early summer, some really egg-packed cows and some nice beefy bulls.
Always a good catch!

No not dead just loaded and plugged up with eggs. They recover

They tend to wash right up on shore at my camp and flip over ..first time I thought there were all dead ..weird to see
