Fishing Forum

I decided after 3 weeks of nothing but fishing i would go jump some birds. I looked for 3 hours before i saw any and they were in a good spot to jump.
I snuck up on them(took 45 minutes) and was in perfect position for the hammer. I peaked over the brush to see where they were and the mallards ha dswam another 20 yards and the only thing in range were goldeneyes.[mad]
I backed out and snuck around more brush to find myself in the sweet spot. 5 yards from 15 or so mallards and they didn't have a clue.[sly]
I stood up, shot 3 times, 2 ducks fell. I reloaded, shot another 2 shots another fell. Just as i looked at one of the ducks floating quickly away, i saw a wood duck coming full boar right at me. BANG! Woodie number 4 for the year!!![]
Not a bad way to end the season. I will post a pic tomorrow afternoon if anybody wants to see it.[cool]
On another note, i went looking for suckers for the burbot bash but all my sucker holes were frozen over. I did however find a new carp hole. I force-fed 4 before calling it quits. The largest of the 4 was over 30#!!! It was 34 1/2" long and as big around as a watermellon! Not sure what the state record is but this thing was grosely huge!

Actually, this fish had no fight at all. It was in about 10" of water and didn't even move when i got in the water. Kinda like it was asleep or something. I just pulled it up on the ice.
