Took the layout boats out saturday hoping for a little diver action. The millions of blue bills that were there thrursday were spread out and not rafted up this time and we had a hard time coaxing birds in with our little spread.
Lots of blue bills and goldeneyes flying around not coming close enough for a shot. Couple weeks ago I dropped my limit with 16 shells in the marsh, I went through a box with only three scaup to my name Saturday, Man! Shooting out of a plastic tub in the waves is a whole nother game I haven’t quite figured out!
Well my birds weren’t that impressive so I’ll give you the sea duck trio our group pulled down, a Surf Scoter, a Barrows Goldeneye and an immature Old Squaw drake! Bet most of you guys had no idea most of these bad boys were hanging out in our beautiful state, 1000 miles from the coast huh?

That stupid barrows flew right into our decoys and landed (on the other side from me [frown]) and sat there looking at us. We sat up, yelled at it and it just looked at us. BAM! No shame in water slooshing a trophy bird!
