But they did pose for some great pics

It's funny that you posted about otters. Yesterday, driving south of Houston, in the George Ranch area, I saw what looked like a dead otter on the side of the road. My first thought was, nah that must be a nutria, but it had a fat hairy tail. Is there even a remote chance that there could be otters living in that area?

[SGrem]

Absolutely otters there. I worked the George Ranch some in High School....and outlawed all over those back roads when nothing was out there.

Well I'll be dipped, it might have been an otter.

We used to live in Damon on 5 acres, and there was a large oxbow nearby that generally held water. I would walk to the oxbow and take pictures of ducks, and one afternoon I saw what I thought was a nutria, but sure enough it was an otter. My guess is it was visiting the oxbow from the creek nearby. I never saw it again.

As a new lake owner who is spending a lot to stock fish I hope otters do not show up. I did see one on a game cam ten years ago walking down one of my roads.

CZ...those carp look like tailing redfish. Heckuva fight on rod/reel.

[KWeber]

wonder if those blue-wing stick around?

[Reality Czech]

For a while
Till the water level drops

Exactly
In my younger days I tried to catch them on various homemade dough baits, but no luck
Did get a few with a bow

The bottom can be totally bone dry and if the San Bernard gets good rains it will flood.

The next day carp are there, thick. Bull red sized ones

When they bump into the boat it feels like I've been torpedoed

[Slabmaster]

Wheaties and big red

[Reality Czech]

Tried that many, many years ago

Still have the bottle

[TIMBOv2]

They really otter not stare at the camera like that.🤣

[OneDayScratch]

They stare unTeal the water drops too...

[dunedawg]

There were otters that lived in the rip rap on Proctor lake many years ago. Have not seen them in a while.

[Buckweet]

Nine woody ducklings. Two did not make it. Still have teal, they should be gone by now.

Awesome game cam pic
Been trying to do that for a couple of years with limited luck
None near as good as that one
