I'll be at the Berry for the opener. No gun Just fishing.
I never go out for Ducks on the opener. to many one hunt wonders. (they hunt once and wonder why they didn't do well) I wait till a little later when it cools off.
How is the water in the big lake? I have liked the last few years when I pedal out to Chrystal and there are no airboaters there. I hope the water is low again, don't get me wrong, I like the airboaters. But not having anything other than my Mt. Bike it is nice to make a 8 mile ride and get to have the swamp to just a few who have worked hard to be there. It's not an easy ride in waders with 3 doz dekes on your back.
I used to hunt out by the salt ponds by Big Spring and also out at Walter Fitzgerald. I did ok at both. Maybe Rush lake will have water this year, it has been good for me also.
I go to Farmington later in the year, after it calms down some. I like PSG too. If you hike out past the ponds tword the big lake there are all kinds of potholes along the streams that I have done very well on. Geese too. I've seen Swans but I don't hunt them.
