Thousands of ducks in Clinton, MO area right now. All species. Seeing a bunch of high flying specks, cans and ducks while deer hunting in the mornings, too. I sure hope this snow storm we are having this week doesn't send the masses down South.

Just got all my decoys organized, cleaned up and ready to rock. Going to deer hunt until 11/9..try and get a few down. And then it's on for me in West Central MO. Except for the water everywhere you turn, I think we will have some good shooting.

Anybody here ever done a whole venison shoulder? I saved a couple then got intimidated by my lack of kitchen ware as a young guy living on my own (ladies would hate my ktichen). I was thinking of crock pot or braising. Any tips helpful!

I think their customer service is probably the best I have come across. I have had rods break, reels needing tuned up, etc. and every time they have replaced or fixed the issue I was having--and quickly. Honestly I fish a lot of Lew's stuff solely based on how well they have treated me. Plus, their products are great.

Oh and I caught a (presumably) used condom once...simply cut the line..

I caught a seagull once in Cape Cod. Using eels. Went for the back cast and felt a tug. Then it took off flying. darn near spooled me lol. But I reeled it in and got it out of its beak without incident.

It really did blossom into something else. Have to keep it going.

So....anybody shoot any doves lately?

Really is remarkable Frank was successfully released and survived. Honestly the only record I can think of that was caught and released. Most die. Just how the cookie crumbles. Congrats, Bill, and be proud of your accomplishment!

Best colors I have used by lure company below: Megabass 110+1: elegy bone, ghost pro blue, ghost shad McStick: table rock shad,,ghost table rock shad, normal flake, ghost norman flake 6th Sense Provoke: ozark juice, threadfin flash, spanish bone Doty SS: any color--varies on the day which they prefer I don't think you need just dark colors at all (sure, certain days dark is better). Those look like food, that's all that matters.

Ok you are right about that. I got absolutely destroyed by the same thing you mention. Maybe oak mites? Whatever they are I am miserable today.

I have noticed the jerkbait bite this year is very hit or miss. Wonder if they're getting used to the constant barrage? I noticed I got a lot more bites just letting the lure float with the current. Make two or three jerks and just let it ride (instead of the ferocious jerking usually done).

Always fun to just be outdoors! I've noticed a lot of waterfowl down early this year. Sounds like they are in Topeka, too. Saw a ton of teal. Can't wait for the opener Saturday.

Got four this morning in an hour. Going back out to try and finish the limit. Flew really well 8-9am but dead after that. It's hot..

I ended up with 8 yesterday. Flew really well. They are loving the corn fields. Every one I cleaned had corn it their crops. I assume it's from the lack of sunflower and other fields planted due to the flooding. Should of had a limit but..well, I missed a lot.
