Today Hal and I started fishing at the private hole about 9:00 under a beautiful blue sky. The snow geese were pouring over in never ending streams going out to feed and making a terrible racket disturbing my quiet morning in the woods. I thought if the geese were hungry maybe the fish would be too. At first they were not, but as the day warmed the bite picked up. I started off with a DT6, a worm, a DT10 and a swimbait.  It was like throwing things against the wall to see what would stick. I was partial to the swimbait because it is what I caught them on the last time. They liked it today too. Like last time, the bites were light and you had to let them have it for a second or two before setting the hook. While I pretty much stuck with the swimbait, Hal had success on a Booyah and a shaky head worm.  Since it is fall the leaves are falling in the water and in some areas made it hard to fish. As the wind cleaned out one good spot it messed up another. We had decided that 3:00 was our hard cutoff hour and we hurried to make another circle before we had to leave. We caught nothing on that circle so leaving was not as hard as usual. We caught 31 with a FOD of 4 and others of 3 3/4, and two 3’s. One of the neat things we saw today was a family of 4 river otters. They are neat animals, but I really hate  to see them in my fishing spot. They don’t practice catch and release and are very efficient fishers or rather catchers.
