odd but fun day at Irvine
Decided to dust off the old float tube today and hit Irvine around 9 a.m. About mid lake I feel something aint quite right and notice my rear bladder had a slow leak so decided to haul A back to the shore and bait & wait.
Tried trout island for a bit with no love so moved over to woody's cove which only had a few anglers.
About an hour in I see my bobber move and hurry to set the hook. When I pick my pole up, I notice my line is going straight up into the air. An ospry had grabbed the fish and took off. I fought the bird until he let go of the fish and gave it to the three guys fishing to my right. Weird!
The next bite was a mud duck that had taken my inflated N/C so I reeled him in and safely released him back to the lake. Funny even still, my next bite was also a mud duck so after reeling him in and releasing, I started throwing rocks at them to get them to go somewhere else.
All in all, i ended up with 3 trout which I gave away. All 3 caught on inflated N/C. And 2 mud ducks.
The bite in woody's cove didn't start until 2:00.
Sorry forgot the camera today so no pics. Of all the days!
