    Default what odd or strange things have you seen while fishing?


    This morning I had only been fishing about 5 or 10 minutes. It was still pretty low light but I saw something coming on the surface from the main lake, that I had just come across, toward the point I was angling toward. Initially I thought it was a beaver...but way too big. As it got closer I realized it was a deer, antlers and all. Never have I personally seen a deer treading water. He seemed like a pretty good swimmer...awesome sight!

    Tell us what you have seen while fishing that was odd or unique

    Iv witnessed Lotsa deer swimming across the lakes, but the coolest was having an eagle fly down and grab a dead fish not 15 foot from the boat in Canada.

    Default odd

    It was what I didn't see and that was the night of 9/11. I was night fishing on Mill Creek lake. After a couple hours on the water I noticed that there hadn't been any airplanes in the sky. Kind of a odd feeling in the middle of night. If I remember right the Federal Government had all aircraft grounded at the time.

    My Aunt has a large pond behind her house. It has large cats, bass, and pike. While crappie fishing a mother duck with a string of babies swam past us. A swirl appeared behind the last baby. Mom duck was short 1 duckling.

    Have seen deer swimming, eagle flew right over me within a few feet even dropping dirt on me from some brush it had pulled up for a nest(I assume), Had large alligators swim up next to the boat, even had a couple fighter jets pass what seemed very close over us while fishing Toledo Bend, but the strangest came as a weird sound first. Fishing a lake by Tallahassee years ago early one morning we kept hearing a intermittent strange whoosh sound. It got louder and all of a sudden 2 hot air balloons came into view and nearly landed on us. They were trying to touch the lake with the basket and as there was a tree line, they didn't see us either until they were right over us by a few feet. Was quite a sight. I have flown in one since then. Not nearly as exciting as I thought it would be.
