I've seen the dead coots on the 515 east bridge by the hundreds in the winter time. I don't know if they are starving or ???? Once in Feb. down by the hwy 17 bridge by Fishermans Cove I saw one take off from the water and fly right into the guard rail on the bridge.

I think the fog played a role in the coots flying up on the bridge!! on my way to the bucket fri. morning i saw one hit the car in front of mines windshield, after it flew up over the bridge.. and several more flew up over and were crashing into the guard rails! they looked really dis-oriented!! then we hit two with the boat running across the lake!! they kinda looked like kamikaze june bugs!!

road kill coots with a rasberry vinegar glaze.yeah sounds good. Hey, come on man. You can't be mixing Southern Cusine with Continental. Your better than that. I suggest a Black Bean Salsa with them.

Coots - You know the limit is 15 a day! (Talk about a boat full!) I know several guys who had a slow duck season who ended up with a good coot season! LOL!
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I saw the same thing at Fork one year. I think it was the 515 bridge.

[quote=TheBassKing I snagged a cormorant on accident once. It flew into my line. I got it next to the boat and we beat it to death with a paddle. Good times. [/quote]  thank you! I usually play slalom course with them to see how many I can take out..  Wife doesnt think its funny, and cant do it anymore with her in the boat.. I think my head hurt worse after I "accidentally" ran over a couple... it just happens

Coots are the little black duck-like birds with white beaks, the birds that build the mud nests are cliff swallows. Or barn swallows. Or some kind of swallows. Not nearly as dumb as coots.
Real trucks don't need spark plugs.

I think they were Branch Davidian Coots and David Koresh came back as a Coot and led the others to a mass suicide again.

It got an up close and personal greeting with the butt seat post on the front of the deck at about 65 mph. It was nothing but feathers after that.
