Fishing on BurntCane Saturday. Motoring along when I spot a commotion in the water ahead. Splashing, I thought either a fish or turtle on a yo-yo or limb line. Cohort said looks like a bird maybe a duck splashing around. Turned out to be a raccoon next to drowning. He was upright and struggling to keep his head up. Spinning in a circle about ten feet from shore and making no progress to get there. Went under a time or two. We stuck the net out and he grabbed hold. After some work we pushed him over to the bank and he ambled off. Blind in at least one eye. Pretty scraggly looking. Thought coons could swim. Got any ideas as to what
was up??
Oh yes by the way the fishing sucked.
