Jumped in the kayak for an evening float at Lake Mohansic in Yorktown. Wet a line for a few bass but more entertained by the birds

So I got a little too close for his/her comfort and jumped it from the nest. I didn’t even know it was there as I was fishing the shaded shoreline and all of a sudden we were eye to eye! Not a bird guy so have no idea what it is but I can talk you it’s fast as hell, has a shrieking chirp when angered and doesn’t like fat guys in kayaks near it’s nest.

Someone told me there are eagles here but these don’t look like the eagles I see on stamps!

Looks like a kingbird....  They tend to be very defensive of their nests..

Eagles don't develop their adult plumage ( white head/tail)   until they are about four years old...The immature birds look like blotchy-brown hawks, only much bigger... Nice pictures...

Caught a nice little 20inch pike this am and a huge crappie.  No pics i was on the kayak and i am not cordinated enough to take a picture and not flip kayak

When that bird jumped out his nest yesterday I almost sacrificed my phone as a self defense projectile!

Def putting it to good use. When I bought this house they had a wooden one out back, it was the closer! 

But GF upgraded with a new one for my birthday.  Def has been handy and has seen a few fish this season.

Only pic of the day. When we found the fish it was non stop baiting and dropping back down. Came back with 7 nice size mangrove snapper. Caught a few yellowtail snapper, grunts, and my son with a rainbow runner. We caught some blue runners which make great shark bait. Had my wife setup up with them, unfortunately i believe we had a large goliath grouper waitin on her bait. We would drop it down, after about 10-15minutes her line would slowly move to the other side of the boat. Try and tighten the line up and one good tug and it was in its coral hole. Snapped my 50lb braid 3 times like it was nothin. Great time down here. Unfortunately/fortunately we are headed home a day early. My wife was called in for a big interview on monday, so we are driven all the way home tomorrow/ be home early monday morning.

Closer to 35.4 based on my knowledge of WC and your rough description of your home’s locale.

If  I can still do math,  35.4   is 25+ miles...Any distance from 0 to 24.999 miles is  is 25 -.....So that means that Biz is right on....Hehehe...
