1/16-1/27 – END OF SEASON EXTRAVAGANZA
While we had great success during the first three weeks of the season, regardless of the warm temps and mild weather, the cold snap during the second half of the season was just killer. Come the 16th and our first few cold nights, the birds started to pour in and the weather was perfect - cold, overcast and spitting rain [...]
1/11 – Great Mixed bag
Today I got to hunt with my Dad, for a change and we ended up having a great morning. It was a cold bluebird day with light (10-12 knot) North winds. The action started off quick with a small group of b'bills and a lone scoter that we wiffed on. Than we (ahem, dad) accidentally laid-out two drake mercruisers in [...]
1/3 – 1-6 – B’Bills, Gaddies, Black Duck, Goldeneye
I keep hearing all this talk about there being no birds at the coast - welp, me and the birds we've been shooting this week sure didn't get that memo! One group I had this week (from Thurs-Sat) killed almost 35 birds in three days between 3 guys! Well, we never limited out but we did average almsot 4 birds [...]
12/28-12/30 – Gaddies, Black Ducks, Divers
12/28 - Today I had the absolute pleasure of hunting with Jim and Todd - while the diver hunts have been the volume hunts lately they wanted to try their best to get a sprig or a black duck (a duck jim has pursued for over 5 years with no success). Things started out early - two black ducks screamed [...]
12/21 + 12/22 – Two GREAT days!
The last 2 days have been days that you sit around in the blind thinking about the could have's, would have's and should have's. I had the pleasure of hunting with Kevin and Bud that joined me last year and this year they brought along Aaron that wanted to spend his senior trip this year duck hunting instead of looking [...]
12/10 +11 – CAPE LOOKOUT STRIPERS
It's a bit early but the bass have made it down to the Cape Lookout area. 12/10 - On Sunday, I went out with my friend Dean Lamont to do a little scouting and perhaps look for some stripers. We spent the first part of the morning jigging for gray trout until we found some nice pods of albacore - [...]
