Went carping in 72.7 degrees Robert G Martin Lake this evening on a warm, sunny day with a light southwest wind. While walking to my fishing spot on the north shore of the lake, a flock of 5 mallards 🦆 flushed. Then a red fox 🦊 chased a hen mallard to the lake and two ducklings 🐥 ran from the field to the lake. The mother duck successfully lured the fox 🦊 away from her offspring. I threw out canned, whole kernel corn 🌽 for chum, then caught 4 bluegills, a brown bullhead, a redeared slider and 8.5 lb and 7 lb snapping turtles 🐢 with corn 🌽 bait. Landed 13 turtles 🐢 this year. Carp were jumping out of the water in the middle of the lake. Lots of minnows were near the shore. A kayak fisherman was standing up in his water craft. Took photos.
