It’s a start…

I wonder why their tails are all beat up this time of the year?

Tails get beat up because they spend the summer in the brushpiles ducking and dodging the preadotor fish. In my lake mostly big cat's eithier blues or flatheads that you will see most of the time hanging just outside of the condo waiting on one to swim a little to far from the brush. Won't see that as winter approaches and they are in open water vs. the brush. Scott
