other things that bother me when im fishing are fire ants, kids throwing rocks, swimmers, and game wardens (kidding), but what i hate the most is boats speeding by.

A long time ago and at Joe Pool Lake there use to be an OWL that lived by the dock at loyd park... Sometimes it would dive bomb at us and I heard that one time it took the hat right off of someones head.

i think the beavers would scare the hell out of me if i am sittin on a river or lake and its nice and quiet and all of a sudden they start makin a ruckus, i would probably jump out of my skin...lol i would have to say that i have not encountered many of these pests, but i think my tolerance for their messin with me would be fairly short...that being said, i have always been amused by perch tryin to steal my bait and draggin my float all around the river without ever takin the hook

I've had people ride their boats to close to the bank like I can cast far and get clotheslined by my lines. That pisses me off not cause I dont have a boat but because some people have no respect when they have a whole lake. But it was kindof funny to watch they were freakin

If you are fishing on a river and have beavers around, you are in good company. Beavers will build dens in the deepest pools and their lodges will attract catfish....especially yellows.
Fish with live bait around the beaver lodge and the odds are very good!

this is the best one of em all.


Mine is when I was fishing at this pond, they were working construction on a retaining wall by the pond and left trash EVERYWHERE. So for me, it gotta be trash.

I had some guys doing that same thing to me maybe 25 yards from the bank where I was fishing caught one of my lines in the prop and lets just say a 6 oz no roll a 8/0 team catfish double action hook and a nice cast fixed that problem left me alone rest of the weekend.

The cold always seems like the biggest pest to me, wish these cats would fatten up in the summer instead
