Fresh Bug Bait Report and Osprey Encounter
Had a couple of hours on the water to try and reload my bug bait stash so I took a right turn at the launch to try Scripps Pier. I found a steady pick of 1# plus Greenies (2-3 at a time) at the very end of the pier. After a while I look up and notice an osprey peering down at me. I'm not sure if he was there the entire time but he looked intent to get in on some action.
So out pops the eye of one of my greenies (the old shiner/largemouth bass trick) and back in the water it goes. A minute later, this beautiful bird is bombing next to me and has dinner in its talons.
Someone with a quality camera can have a nice photo oppty...
