Pat....at the deepest it's about 17 feet, but most of the deepest is 14 feet, and then of course most of the rest varies between 4-12 feet.

Yes Clint from Overton's said the shocking is mainly effective to about 6-7 feet...so hopefully maybe not as bad as I think....but fishing has been bad for last few months, but it is winter....I dunno

Somebody told me last week two otters can eat at least 15 lbs of fish per week.

The otters may have been in there a few months before we trapped them, then the water turkey arrived.

So now I wonder whether the reflective tape worked since the water-turkey are mainly gone...or heck are they gone because all the fish are gone?

It's a bummer for sure, but as I learn to say as I get older: "it is...what it is"


Fishing has never been about the fish....
