#7657, "Dead Ducks?"
|
Today Ben and I were at Pyramid (not great a day fishing) but all over the lake we saw ducks the were tied up in "heavy" line (Ben tried to tell me that they just got caught up in used line) But these ducks were in several places. 1 in tin cup 1 yellow bar 1 Bear Trap and a couple in several other places. When I was at Casitas last I saw a few there too but these had thier head cut off and were tied closer to the botton of the lake. I thought its one of 2 things 1 someone is trying to attract catfish, or soneone is casting a vodoo spell on these areas? Whats the real deal anyone know? Dave

Dave, I bet the Cormorants are doing it!I heard they've been jumping all other fish eating birds so that they can have the lake all to themselves..............
Don't ask why it just seemed funny for the time being

We need to respect the wildlife. Anybody caught doing otherwise needs to be reported to the authorities. We as modern day-fishermen (hunters) must manage what the Good Lord has kindly given us. Whether it be mammals, birds, or fish; It's bad enough that we tear fish's lips regularly. I wouldn't be surpreised if DFG or animal rights activist may be visiting this website. You all better watch what you say. 777

Man it sucks to find old line all over the place. people need to pick up their trash. I untangeled a duck at Puddingstone awhile ago from old line. all I can say is people need to speak up if you see people acting lame like that!! They have trash cans all over the place.

I hear you my brutha!!! Wasap with the low-lifes!!! Nah, but on a serious note that kind of behaviour needs to be eliminated. It's bad enough that animal rights activist are trying their best to take away our fishing and hunting privileges. I'm not sure if this is true, but I here that they are strarting to get alot of leverage amongst the appropriate authorities to the point where their influence is GREAT!!! We need to show that we are good managers of our world; not careless and inconsiderate hunters. 777

I agree with you guys that we should respect the wildlife and not to throw our line in the water. Sometimes though we get hung up on the bottom and we either break off on purpose or the line weakens and comes off. However I really think these ducks are being placed there. The ones I saw at Casitas definatly were and at Pyramid there were just way to many to be a fluke.

NoTrollMotor, I thought it was funny too. Some of the comments that were made sounded like they were comming from PETA. I don't understand some people.If someone has a problem with hooking a fish in the mouth and tearing it, Why is this person still fishing????
I hope I didn't upset anyone. We're all big boys so my opionion shouldn't make anyone mad.

I wrote that the cormorants were tying up the other ducks. But I guess not everyone saw the joke as I did.

..I too have seen a couple of these "ducks" the last few times I was at the WOOD!.The ones I seen were mud-hens or coots I think is what youd call em...They normally eat weeds and other under water plant growth but they will eat bait(crawler,marshmellow,etc.) if its down there..The couple I seen were sub-surface and another was a little deeper... but I didnt notice them to be headless! I just figure they they had went down to get a bite to eat,ate something that was hung to the bottom and never saw the surface agian!There last meal so to speak! I never thought about this being done on purpose! and if they are pullin some voodoo crap that would be off the wall and weird to say the least... This was the first time Ive witness this in all my years of fishing though which now that I think about is kinda strange!..But didnt even think twice till this post...but on the other hand it sure isnt going to dent the population much as there are hunderdes of them on the lake.... as for the comis' doing it!(ahahhahahahhhaha!!) that is hilarious!!! KEEP EM BENT!!!! PHISHuntR
PS.Im sure theres some cats in there that would have no problem eatin that duck not to forget about a HOG striper!?!???? oooahh?????? will have to keep an eye on those boilin coots!!
