monty you're right about madcaster. Even though I have the most dead fish for the year, he has the most variety. I was having a real tough time finding dead things before I came across that dead raccoon and the dead bluefish on the beach. plugginpete thanks for the comment. Have never seen that many in one place. Was thinking it came from some of the boats that left them out in the sun all day without a cooler while they were catching and dumped on the way back to the marina. Guess it will forever remain a mystery unless someone fesses up that they saw someone do it. Still makes me mad to see all those wasted fish on one beach.
