Well, apparently the damn otter wanted my fish more than me. All 8 fish gone, including my 1.4 lb slab. Now I'll be making a stronger fish box to keep the otter out. I couldn't believe he was able to pull back that welded wire that I had welded to the inside of the frame. I think he probably got in through the top, then when he realized he was trapped, he flipped out and ripped out the floor piece of welded wire.
Dang, Toon!
Those otters can get into about anything. They are creative and destructive
They can tear up anything!Quote:

As of this morning the lake is up over 3ft above normal, but the fish are still biting. We had 55 keepers yesterday spider rigging 4-8ft deep in 7-12ft. No big fish just good keepers. I have also heard good reports from the north end and south end. We fished south. EB
We hit Belle Starr the other day. It was up and muddy. Maybe 20 of us there and not one fish. Everybody said it was really good until the rain muddied it up.
EB. Is rip rap or creek channels the best in these conditions right now?Quote:

CHEcrappie, a week ago all the fish were in the channels. Since then 8+ inches of rain, 7.5ft difference in water levels moved the fish. I found them out away from the channel on the slopes adjacent to the channel if that makes any sense. Plus the fish are shallower in the water column. When the water comes up and gets muddy the fish really spread out. EB
Thanks EB. I figured it wold scatter them out. Just trying to narrow my search down since I’m only a weekend warrior due to my job.Quote:
