I don't mind the birds of prey. We really enjoy watching them work. The eagles fly down and just lift the fish off the top of the water.They hardly ever miss, so I think the fish is dead. One day while we were building a boat dock, a osprey missed 19 dives in a row. He would rest a few minutes and dive again and he never did get a fish. I had a fishing day like that on Sunday, caught 17 on 36 bites.

Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.
