As Duck Season draws closer… the repair work from Irene is finally winding down… Trees to clear out of the swamps and blinds to be rebuilt – all in a day’s work! Saturday is the big day and we are all looking forward to a great season! Tons of ducks around already and the winds are turning out of the North… a true sign of things to come!
Fishing reports are usually a little slim from the Fistful boat this time of year as we switch gears for the upcoming Duck Season (opens November 12!!). We are still running trips both nearshore and offshore as we prepare for the Ducks… Fall is an awesome time to go!! As for the waterfowl… we are watching the migration and there are great reports from up north pertaining to this year’s hatch… the ducks are on the move!! We have a some scattered openings left with Karl plus several days available to put you with partnering guides… flooded timber, marsh, open water, you name it – it’s a blast!!
Thanks for the pictures and thanks again for fishing with us!! You guys are awesome…Hope to see you all again soon!!
Reports have been slim the last week due to a last minute trip to kick off the up-coming duck season… what a blast!! I’ll post pictures from the trip as soon as I get them loaded… hopefully the pictures will relieve everybody as much as it did us to see the number of ducks in their first leg of the migration – unbelievable action in an absolutely great location with good friends and fellow hunters at the X!!! (ha!) Happy to see we had a great hatch of ducks this year and very thankful for all the good lord has given us..The outdoors in any venture is something to be respected, valued, and appreciated. Don’t forget that the most important thing is experiencing what is right in front of you and we like it when they are right in front of you…The truest form..
We did make it back just in time for Karl to get out with Jim and Jimmy for a little short season timber action this morning… we are always so thankful to get to spend time with good friends… no matter where we are! Jimmy marched through the swamp like a pro with Dad tracking close behind and worked hard to bag this beautiful pair of Wood Ducks… the drake was in full plumage – what a gorgeous sight to see! Nice work!!! Awesome way to kick off the 2011/2012 season kiddo… Congratulations!!!!!
We had a break this afternoon and dove season is in… there’s no better way to spend Labor Day afternoon than with friends and family!
We had a good bunch of guys along with us today..The day started on a blue green change running west to east in 20 fathoms..I fished up into a pretty good head sea in the morning away from more than 30 other boats taking the down sea path..Shortly after setting out we got covered up by the gaffer dolphin and it would remain that way all day until the box was full.We ended up with a great cath of bigger gaffers and 2 king mackeral..Glad everyone had a great day and will see you soon..
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Jimmy took this nice strutter in one shot as his first turkey… a great hunt and a perfect shot to bring him home! Pretty work!! Thank you guys so much for a fantastic time!
Carl – What a nice gobbler! Congratulations!!! So much fun to see you guys.. Thank you for a great hunt!
(Dino….I know the feeling…I am still in the dog house…)
Pretty work Gordon and Trey!! Sims….you’re next! What an amazing hunt…always such a pleasure to have you guys here… Looking forward to the next trip!
First bird of the season – triple bearded! Hopefully this is the start of a great trend! Lots of birds around and they are already wound up…Spring is in the air. A nice first turkey for Robert – pretty shot!
