Members BIG K Posted September 27, 2009 Members Posted September 27, 2009 Got down to the dock about 6 am Friday to find 4 OTTERS in the boat finishing up what was left of the seats. they are just so cute with foam and naughahyde on there little face NOT. so some more duct tape and quick poop rinse and off to the dam we went. Another good day of fishing caught fish from cable to Fall creek on 1/8 jigs up to 18'' lost a nice brown in the fall creek area and saw a large rainbow 10#s plus cruising the shallows in the same area .Back home now and cant make it back down till thanksgiving. since my boat wasnt in the dock last night im told the OTTERS started to eat the resorts pontoon. MDC was contacted and the reply was pretty much were sorry have a nice day.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted September 27, 2009 Root Admin Posted September 27, 2009 They can trap or kill those otters I believe. Tell 'em to call Quenten.
Mr. Ed Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I had an otter grab my stringer as I pulled it out of the water one night. He was was sitting on the foam/dock stringer under the dock decking. Those things are STRONG!!!! Felt like I was in a tug of war with my 75# Labrador retriever.
Gatorjet Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Hey Phil, you don't have otters on your dock do you? If an otter eats my Gator, I'm going to eat the otters!! Real men go propless!
crazy4fishin Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Sorry to hear about the boat seats being eaten......I didnt think otters tore stuff up like that. But I had to share that the last night that we spent at Lillley's I left a box of worms on the floor of the boat and when I went out in the morning the lid was off and the worms were gone....whatever it was did leave a nice pile of dirt on the floor. Just thought it was kinda funny......I guess that is the chance we take since we are on thier turf so to speak Crazy4fishinA Cornhusker
Members ribtips Posted October 1, 2009 Members Posted October 1, 2009 Hey Phil, you don't have otters on your dock do you? If an otter eats my Gator, I'm going to eat the otters!! Well, not 'on' the dock, but they've got a hole in the bank right outside the cleaning table window....
Members Rackersc Posted October 1, 2009 Members Posted October 1, 2009 I got to watch a few of them at Lilley's last New Years Eve. They'd get a hold of a fish and then sit on the foam on the edges of the dock and eat them. They are noisy eaters. Didn't bother the fish though.
Members BIG K Posted October 1, 2009 Author Members Posted October 1, 2009 Talked to Gary at Blue Haven this afternoon MDC is on there way to help( thanks Phil for the help) maybe we wont have to wrap the boat in chicken wire on our thanksgiving trip
