Reading the Signs: Can Wildlife Predict Fishing Success?

[jcb]

I was driving on highway 231 near Bowling Green this morning and passed through an area with cattle on each side of the road. The cattle on the right were up grazing and the ones on the left were laying around the field. I have spent the rest of the day wondering what that meant for fishing. Do you suppose it meant that fish would only bite on the right side of the boat?

That one's easy.

If they were on the right they must have been conservative cows. They were hungry, so they were getting something to eat.

If they were on the left, they must have been liberal cows. They were laying down, waiting for someone to come feed them.

Thank you so much for the laugh. That's the best one I've heard in quite awhile.

Would you please put some clothes on. I'm having a hard time focusing on the fish.

I was told years ago that if the birds are lined up on the high wire fishing would be bad and the more birds the worse it is. This has peoven to be true way more times then not . My friend lives on rough and he has told me that fishing has been realy tough the last 2 weeks and I told hime I had been seeing a lots of birds lined up on the wire. He said his fishing forcast thing said it was suposed to be realy good fishing and it has been realy wrong I told him the weather would have more to do with it then anything.
I burn wood for heat and I can tell you when the smoke goes strait to the ground it means it is going to rain/snow and get colder and when it goes strait up in the air you might as well stay home because fishing is realy bad..
I pay alot of attention to the squirrel nest as well and this year they seem to be high in the trees but close to the main steem of the tree so it should be a bad winter this year we will see..

Not necessarily, but they are off limits. How do you like the redfish in this avatar? My hubby caught it.

Nothing compares to fighting a bull fed in my opinion. How's your husband situation turning out? Hope all's on the upside.
