After a long time away from the water, the Whaler made it back to Mountain Island Lake and the Catawba River for a few hours of Sunday fishing.  Water temp ranged from 76F to 80F, Air was about 75-80F, a bit cloudy at 7am with sunshine coming through at 10 or 11am..  Bite was slow, and spots were taken on Mepps spinners, grubs, as well as sunnies on grubs.  Topwater was attempted but nothing happening.  The Whaler ran with no issues.

Black Rat Snake

 

Kinda think this guy had a mocking bird for lunch today..maybe..as there were about 3 other mocking birds out on the ground with him, squalking.  He had crossed from the woods to the trees by the pond for lunch, then was headed back to woods while I was walking the dog.  Quickly went back to house, grabbed the snake tongs and rode bike back...to help him cross the road safe....But by then he was already across the road and crawling into the woods, his belly full.  In the woods thrushes and mocking birds chipped at him..
