O.k. well not exactly, but as I was throwing eels last night a 3 foot long river otter swam right by me as I was wading in the dark. I could tell it had no idea that i was 3 feet away from him, so I made a meowing noise at it and I just about gave it a heart attack:hihi: If I had waited a few seconds more I could have tapped him on the head with my rod tip.

cute little bugger.

There are otters in RI? Thats pretty cool

Yep.. this is the 2nd one I have seen this season. You wont find them at the ocean, but you will find them in salt ponds, and estuaries... I'd go on but i dont want to give up my fall honeyhole :devil:

I have a funny story about otters and honey holes but I ain't telling :hihi:

-spence

They have plentyo f them in RI. I don't know how they affect the salt water populations, but if you have a family move into your freshwater area. Find a new place to fish. They will eat everything. Probably equivalent to saltfishing when seals are around.

Just rigged up a few mink muhself :D See you there, but do you know exactly how many hours after the turn? ;)

TT,
I hear the minks only work if trolled very slowly on Wickeden street. :D

a rigged mink might catch you a cat .

Would that be the same thing the old timers use to do to eels with the long needle?



In our family their was no clear line
between religon and fishing. :D :D

So when ya gonna show me how to live line the elusive mink , eben?:laughs: :smash:

Chef.. careful, with the glass guy "trolling the mink' is code... becareful and dont drop the mink, if you get my drift....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Eben, welcome to the broken Arra club BTW

I have a pond on my property and have repeatedly stocked it with trout. As soon as the otters figure out that there are fish to be had they literally clean it out. I have given up. I did put herring in the pond last year and they are still there. I would guess that otters don't like the taste of herring.

Pie, I guess you can say those otters are hard of herring.

i've seen them minks, otters whatever they are on the rocks down your way eben.

we have minks in a pond by our house, pretty cool, never realized it til my moms saw em while walking the dog. i thought they only lived in the salt.....

hmmmm

Brings back memories of late night Rat Fishing with Meatballs out in the alley behind Newbury Street.

The big ones run towards you when they get hooked.

:D :D :D

Bass nut, I'm laughing sooo hard right now my eyes are tearing up. :happy:
