Tuesday morning Richard and I started fishing at Beaver Dam at 7 o’clock. We started off with booyah spinnerbaits going down the bank. After a short while we switched to a white and chartreuse swim jig. We caught a few here and there butt they were not concentrated in any one spot. One interesting thing we saw was an osprey circling and complaining about something that we could not see. After moving down the bank a little more we saw what the complaint was about. A full grown white head white tail eagle was sitting in the top of one of the large cypress trees. The osprey buzzed the eagle a few times and each time the eagle would bow up on the limb and fend the Osprey off. Finally the Osprey gave up on chasing the eagle away and left. As we continued down the bank the eagle was comfortable and did not move from his perch but peered over the limb and looked straight down at us in the boat. When we were directly under him he did not fly. Had he pooped it would have struck us amidships. When you get that close you can really tell what a massive bird a grown Eagle is. I truly need experience . After a short break for lunch we crossed to the west side of the lake and Richard switched to a baby Paca craw with a light weight. We reached a small Grove of trees where it was shady and relatively cool. Throwing through each opening there were numerous bass in that spot and Richard was catching most of them on the Paca craw. I was getting bites and catching a few on the swim jig, enough to keep me from changing baits. I really enjoyed fishing with the swim jig but hard headedness is not a good trait to have fishing. We reached another small hammock of trees and the fish were the same as the first, wanted the same bait as the first, and the results were the same as the first. We ended up with 30 fish. The FOD was 4 1/2 pounds and we had two more in the three and one half pound range. We also caught 2 grinners ,1 5 pounds and 1 4 1/2. I dictated this on my phone for the first time. We will see how it turns out.
