The comorants seem to be a problem everywhere. I see them eating bass almost everytime I'm out freshwater fishing these days. I've seen them at all the lakes I've fished recently. I may be wrong about this but the problem seems to have become worse than I remember it being in the past. They've always been a menace in salt water and are specially tough when trying to fly line live baits. I caught one last week when it ate my fluke jerk bait. My first freshwater comorant and it ate plastic. Not quit the accomplishment I was trying to make. I've had several others chasing my plastics and even had one dive on my top water. I guess that's a good indication that your lure swims real well but definitely the wrong kind.

I wish we could do something to stop these birds from eating all the bass Yeah I know a few shells and problem resolved, but the last thing we need is the Audoban Society on our backs for cruelity to an over populated bird species that is destroying our fisheries. Oh well at this point I'm just counting my blessings that fishing is still legal in this state. I'm going to stop here because I don't want this post turning in to a politician basher. All I'm saying is those birds are wrecking the fish stocks.
