strange sightings

i think the strangest thing i've seen has to be the couple doing it doggie style on the bow of their boat in the middle of jones lake. it didn't seem to bother them one bit that they were keeping me from my favorite reef.

Saw a manatee in at SLP and Cold Pass over a year ago. Also saw an otter in the same place, near the mouth of Titlum-Tatlum. Strangest thing I ever saw fishing though, was when I was fighting a red and he came up on a sandbar. A big buck coon ran out of the marsh, grabbed my redfish and took off with it. Also I was sitting on a friend's porch at a camp in Bayou Cook, La. My dad and I witnessed dolphins playing frisbee with about a 5lb sheepshead. No kidding. They were tossing it back and forth. I've seen stranger stuff, but not while fishing.

While wading the Sievers shoreline years ago I saw a mountain lion and cub strolling the top of the island. The terrain has changed quite a bit since then, but it was a cool site.
The wife and I were near the floodgate and some guy comes running to tell us he just spotted a gar and wanted to wade out to it and have us take a picture for him. Well, that thing was about 7' long and it wasn't a gar! He kept insisting that it was, so I told him to go ahead and wade out to it but leave me someones number to call if he didn't return. He said a few choice words and went on about his life.
One of the funniest things was my mom's face after I went overboard. The little skiff I owned at the time was very unstable and when she stood up to walk around.....over the bow I go! It was in December and we were flounder fishing. The look of "I'm Sorry?" still cracks me up!!!

I was fishing a back bayou when I heard a loud splash, looked over my shoulder & saw something in the water swimming across the bayou, as it got closer I could see the antlers of a big buck, he swam within 20 feet of my boat, got to the other side & took off.

I've seen an otter while fishing the surf, a sea turtle in our canal, and there's a 5' gar that likes to pop up in our canal every now and then.

A coyote swimming a bayou up in Titlum Tatlum. Also a fawn in the shallows on St Joe's at Aransas. Also an otter in Tabbs Bays in the '80's at the Chevron dock.

what is the weirdest thing you have seen on the water? Several yrs back I was in chocolate drifting at the end of long reef in front of new bayou when a manatee surfaced right beside my boat! I almost fell off the bow of my boat. (I'm not joking!)
I heard about a week later there was a sighting at cold pass! To this day I don't know what happened to that manatee or where she came from. (if she came from Florida, that's a helluva trip...)

Now that is a strange sighting

At a wedding in Clear Lake area on one of the big party boats, we were standing on the rail of the open 2nd deck/dancefloor. The priest/minister begins the part of the ceremony where they say the "I dos", when a huge gofast boat comes astride our ship, honks their horn and two very voluptuous girls show their "wares." I tried not to look, but it was too late.

edit - I wonder if that would be considered "good luck" on your wedding day like it raining or a rainbow or some gay dolphins swimming next to the boat?
