Methane Bubble

Well what a sight this morning, I was out feeding the ducks and heard a rumble looked up to see a huge bubble 7-8 feet across rise from the lake bed followed by around 30 fish dormant on the surface, largest being about 12lb common carp and Perch, Roach etc from 3-4 ounces to 10-12 ounces.

Unfortunately did not have phone with me and time I got back from house no sign of any disturbance.

There is over 50ft of silt on the bottom and I assume it must have been methane

gas released to starve the fish of oxygen. Moral of the story ? keep the damn phone

with you.

Methane Bubble came up directly in front of bench about 20 feet out where it is around 12 feet deep.

Never mind the phone, if you had had a source of ignition then you could have had ready cooked fish.
