Last Dec in a tournament leaving out of the Bucket, Judds boat and my boat were in full tilt boggie rounding Little Caney headed up the West arm, and a couple hundred coots were way out
off the point, it was bumper coots to the point it got dangerous.
I had to slow down or get knocked out by one.
They make a LOUD thump on the side of your hull at 70 mph.. LMAO....
You should hear them thump at 80  Seriously...I actually felt sorry for Rob sitting in the passenger seat with no console to hide behind. He was aweful close to the floor though  Those little turds will flat tear up a hydrilla bed...I hate'em!

The only problem I have with coots is they tend to be out in the middle of the lake early in the mornings when you think you are running in the clear. They do have their uses though. When all the grass is deep they show you where it is. Shallow nesting bass will hit one and let you know he is there. It is funny to see one run for his life from a gator. As for cormorants kill them all and feed them to the gators.

Towing your boat over the bridge will do that......

I wish they were Comorants too. I hate those birds. I was fishing Lavon one winter and a flock flew over my boat from stern to bow. They were dropping terds as they came. About 6 of them hit my boat. I could hear the terds getting closer and closer I was just waiting to feel one hit me.

Man, I love to read these accounts about Cormorants vs high speed bass boats....may have to change my thinking. If they get Cormorants, then the noise, pollution, and churned up water may be worth it.

If you ever go to rescue a comorant or heron or egret watch your eyes, they'll poke 'em right out.
