Great Hunt

Chip Pitcairn, Sally and I headed out with Rocksy and Kelly to do a little duck hunting this morning. The forecast was for fog but it wasn't too bad down here. We had a couple miles visibility with a low cloud ceiling and light winds. Ducks were decoying very well into our spread and we had to start getting picky about our birds early in because of all the pintails, bluebills and redheads. Kelly made a great "hero" retrieve on a mature redhead drake and both dogs did well. Except for the two wounded ducks and the dogs version of "Keystone Cops". Duck season is winding down but there are still a few open dates before the close on the 24th of January

Quacker Smackin'

Duck hunted the past few days and got a variety of conditions with a variety of results. Good numbers of pintails and wigeon are flying and a few buffleheads mixed in. Can't figure out where all the redheads went. Hope they show up this week. Rocksy watching over the spread and Jeremiah with a Bull Sprig headed to the taxidermist

No Fish Kill In Baffin

Finally got out on the water today to check out any damage from the recent cold snap. Looks like we avoided it completely. Didn't even see a dead mullet. The water was very cold today and there was almost no baitfish activity.

The few places we saw bait, we caught fish. Nothing to write home about but we managed 4 trout and 2 redfish. Saltwater Assassins and Sea Shad were the top producers today. Water temps in the upper 40's for most of the day with overcast and drizzle.

I Heard It On The Radio

Had a little fun this weekend talking with Doug Pike on his Sunday radio show in Houston while I was in town for the Houston Boat Show. Capt. Sally and I teamed up to represent our area down here. You can click on the links for the podcasts of both hours of the show.
