it's cold... 29º at Sunrise.. no wind

which made it a lot nicer than it was yesterday with 43º temps and North winds at 20+...I'm getting to hate the wind more than the rain in this cold weather we're still having  after stopping at the beach for the Sunrise I stopped off at the lake and decided the last minute to 'wet a line'.. glad I did... with the Yami 'woim' caught a nice Largemouth Bass.. had a few more hits  and hookups but they were lost in the heavy snotgrass..  I mash my hook barbs down for e-z removal for catch and release..

while getting ready to stop fishing I looked up across the lakefront and there was an Osprey chasing an intruder--a Bald Eagle-- away from the Osprey's nesting area.. this goes on  every once in a while.. this morning a battle ensued with the Osprey.. and his backup Osprey.. winning the clash...chasing the Bald Eagle across the road and down the ICW  'what an in-flight battle'.. looked like a Top Gun battle in the air .....only had the 70-300 lens so couldn't get that close... snapped some sequence pics at the end of these pics for today  ..

Osprey continues to chase the Eagle
it was like an F16 vs Mig in the sky
