Went back to the county park again, got on the water around 6pm. Decided to try diff area. Missed a few nice ones. I gotta stop doing that!

Caught 2
Missed 3
Released 2


Almost disturbed these guys, wouldnt have been good! Also Seen 2 Empty Nests, 1 was bigger than the pic, I meant to go back by it for a pic and possibly take it home.(pics next time there)
Far Shot after 1st seeing it and moving away, I was approx 5 ft away from it about to cast under that tree.

And a closeup.

And The Fish (not gonna take pics of any under 15" anymore)

Then I seen this Hole in the bank, you can see the clean bottom in front of it. I wonder what Lives in there??

It almost looks like a Very Large Pleco hole. (Pleco is what people put in aquariums to eat algae) I have seen some 3-4 long but their holes are the size of a coffee can in diameter, this hole was larger than a basketball!

[Waterwings]

Ditto. Great pics!, but what were the first pics of?

 

[ACarbone624]

Bees nest?

They are Wasps, or Hornets of some type very large and have a bad attitude.
I cropped the pic from this trip and from a prior trip @ Tenoroc. Both pics are the same type of wasp or hornet.

:shock: Certainly don't want to upset them!

The hole in the bank could also be beaver. Looks like a nice place!

I thought it was some kinda stubby snake with its mouth open
