Class B First-hand BFRO #31122

Fishermen have possible late afternoon encounter on Black Creek

20 November 2011 5:30 pm Lakeside, Clay County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were bass fishing from a boat on a creek in the late afternoon. They heard heavy footsteps and water-splashing sounds from dense woods and motored closer quietly but saw nothing. After moving away from shore they heard a loud splash near the boat that they believed was a thrown object, followed by heavy footsteps retreating quickly. A strong musky odor had been present in the same area earlier that day.
