Saw that video, pretty neat. They didn't seem to be too concerned about boat traffic whizzing by.

One very interesting fact about an otter is nothing will touch or eat a dead one! No, not even buzzards!

TRUTH!

They are most certainly still here. Go from dock to dock at night stealing your stringers and breaking into fish cages. Little creatures will get under the dock and hiss at you while you stand there fishing.

despite the voracious appetite I still think they are a great animal , hate to hear people are shooting them over bass

We got em! Smart and endless appetite. Every carcass and rib cage we give em is a fish that lives another day!

Saw one early this morning at Fayette County lake...Tried to get a picture but those dudes are fast...up & down...gone in a flash...

We've had them on Cooper Lake for as long as I can remember and they may have been here even before there was a lake. When I duck hunt I even have one that comes and visits me. They do eat a lot of fish and some of them have discovered that when the open the flood gate and close it @ high water fish get trapped below the flood gate in the canal and they have a field day with that. It's mostly carp they get, they'll catch them and drag them up into the spillway rocks and chow down. They'll usually leave the carcass.

Otters are also one of the very few animals that kill for fun. They inhabit every creek large and small in East Texas and almost always travel in pairs or larger family units. You may think it is only one in your pond but don’t believe it for one minute! They will decimate your fish population in short order!

We had otters move into great little fishing pond near our home in Pennsylvania. They wreaked havoc on the fish population. In a short time the banks were littered with fish bones.

I don't if they were otters or minks but I have seen them on the rocks at Ray Hubbard and Lavon.

They seem to show up in winter months in my pond. I know they are there when I see pine needles raked into small piles on the levee with their scat deposited on top of it. It’s full of fish scales and crawfish shells. They folllow the creek looking for more hunting grounds and eventually hit the jackpot in my pond.

I have seen a weasel/mink/otter like creatures on lakes with rip rap I fish.

They are the single worst thing that can happen to a private pond in which you are trying to raise sport fish for enjoyment.

They are 10x worse than the hated water turkey ever has been...if that helps put it in perspective.

They can turn your $$$ investment in your pond to nothing overnight.

I am not exaggerating in the least. Scapegoat is way too nice of a name for them and the idiots that introduced them into East Texas

Seen em on Rayburn, had one in our creek last year for a few days.
