Walleye on a fly... that cracks me up. So how do you go about killing geese when you're fishing? I'd like to hear how that works! You just shooting local geese. Not judging... just askin'.

Pretty much when we see them we go get them, also have guns laying next to us incase of fly overs. If they are where the guns cant be used we pull the bows. The resident goose season is all about fun, dinner and treats. Dinner is roast goose treats are jerky and sausage. So they are targets of oppertunity nothing out of bounds within the law. I mean come on I have a Wonderbread bag full of packing peanuts " they use plastic corn for decoys why not use styrofoam peanuts" ( nothing funnier than seeing 50 geese comming blasting offshore thinking they are getting a free meal only to get a load of #4's in the head ) You cant do that stunt to true wild geese lol. Or my other favorite. Place 2 dozen Full Bodies in front of you and the same bag with no peanuts and have a string ran from each decoy to your leg. move leg make decoys move like they are fighting for food and see how fast the geese come.

Now regular waterfowl season its truly hunting from blinds and decoys out, but by 10am if we are not limited its guns out and if something flies by while we are fishing we shoot it. Hunting is more about the company and fun now more than anything else to me, who cares if you shoot a limit as long as the coffee is good the laughs are from the heart and the company is good.

Sounds like a lot of fun F&F. I do some duck hunting up here in KS but really prefer fishing. Fishing and having a shot at some waterfowl sounds about like a perfect day!

Its a fly Ducky ties and so far I have not found anything that wont hit it. Multiple colors and can be stripped, jigged, trolled pretty much anything you can think of. The walleye I was working a rock pile with it let it sit and jig it a couple times and they were on it. Also caught them in shallow watter casting to pockets and steady strip. Stripers seem to want it presented fast at a troll speed of 1.5mph. Sails were taken it off a teaser. Duane should be back the 10th and maybe he could post a few pictures of it.

Ed ive been fishing hunting for years, I just keep the rod handy in the blind more than one time I have had fish boil in the decoys and im ready for that and when fishing just keep the gun next to me on the deck. It keeps you interested all day looking for fish and birds in the air.
