Interesting sight last night......
 

Whilst walking out onto a point to cast for school bass I heard a crash in the water behind me less than 30 feet away. I turned back to see an Osprey rising form the water with a flounder in his talons.

The flounder was not happy and wiggling like crazy. The water was about two feet deep. I have seen ospreys take schoolies and trout etc. but a flounder was a new experience.

The school bass fishing is s-l-o-w.

Still slow. You in the usual haunts. My bro in law had an osprey drop a bluefish into the yard during a barbecue once. I t almost went on the grill.

my usual 'hot' spring areas are slow right now too. cool story flap :D

Very cool story Flap.
Watch an Osprey stalk something last night and then give up.
Saw the elusive resident river otter last night too.

hey i know that otter!!

I had an otter pop up on a rock I was standing on at the Canal one morning.....scared the hell out of me....thought it was a monster rat.

Yeah he said some not so nice things about you :D

Yeah Paul, water is dirty and cold, brrr. Fish hard and the best I can do is 3 a night. Should be wall to wall. Bait is there, lots of small (4-5 inch pogies and silversides)

I need to come see you about enlarging the slots on my rod holders. What night is good?

an osprey dropped a turd on my head once.

Whilst eh? :hihi:

Schoolies have been soso here too-- last week was much better

Come on down. Any night but Fri.. After 7 PM. Work is crazy right now as a few guys have left and we can't find any replacements so guess who's life gets crazy:doh: If I am busy you can leave and pick up a day or 2 later if that is ok. Bring George too as I have a couple of things for him or I will give to you to give to him.

There is a million dollar plus mansion on the water that I fish in front of ( no it is not mine), the house has two chimneys and is done in and old Cape style. Both Chimneys have nests three feet high on them wioth birds in them. The upper deck is loaded with sticks and small logs and all kinds of junk from the birds and I can just imagine the goo oozing down the flues. Ick.

They might not reach him! Okay Paul, will do and thanks!:wavey:

I had the same thing happen to me there and it freaked me out cuz he was like inches away from me and I was not expecting to see him.

Nothing you would want Steve. Just stuff.

a flounder ? .. wow ,, good eyes

Eek!
 

Was digging in my bag, which was atop the concrete wall in front of the light house at The Hill, late one night when an opossum waddled into the beam of my head lamp. Dumb little bastard was only 3 feet in front of me, but at least he was on the other side of the fence.

Ospreys are awesome to watch work. There was a nesting pair on the old Tramway tower at ColdStorage beach back in the day. They were fascinating to watch. The tower is long gone but a pair still works the bayside beach in the Spring. Good to see old friends.

Several years ago I had grab a small in front of me and fly around showing it off to me. All this while I catch nothing. Maybe I was taking it a little personal.:rotf3: :rotf3:

:bgi: Its still there.
