I noticed after ice out that a lot of my bluegills had discolored spots on their fins and tails. Figuring it was probably just stress from a long winter under the ice I started feeding them hoping they would color back up and things would go back to normal.
Couple months later the problem is still present and seems to be getting worse! The fish now have red spots on their bodies and some of their mouths/tails appear to be rotting away. Today I found about a dozen dead bluegills floating on the surface, mostly big ones but a few smaller ones in the mix too.
Anybody ever seen anything like this before or have any ideas on what may be causing it? Hoping to get ahead of the issue before it gets much worse.
