You're probably right about the bluegills. The lake is Miller's Lake and as I recall, was about 10 or more acres. How fast can a few crawdads eat a dozen hand-size bluegill? We fished off that dock a lot and the only time we lost fish that way was the day we saw the muskrat. The fish were on stringers and still alive when we put each one on the stringers in the water, hanging from the dock. I also had my first run-in with a muskrat in Dover, DE. My AF squadron (95th FIS) was moved in July, 1963 from Wash DC to Dover. A couple of weekends before my then new wife (6 months)and I were exploring the area, mostly saltwater swamps outside of town and the base. Driving across a field on an asphalt road in the late evening, a ferocious beast with glowing eyes and large fangs leaped at the right headlight of my car. We were going about 45 mph and hit him solid with two more thumps as he was run over by the wheels on the right side of the car. The next morning there was no trace. He was either a super rat or some other critter had carried off the carcass during the night. Freaked us out at the time. We found out later from the locals that it was a muskrat.
