The Federal Framework is out and in a very few short weeks it will be time to make things fall from the sky. So who is ready for another year of great reports, fun kidding with each other and finding each others decoys and giving them safe rides home.

_{I'm more the "old bull" mentality these last few years. I don't feel the need to run down the hill and shoot one like I once did. I'll just walk down the hill and shoot them all when the time is right. I'll probably live vicariously through you guys for teal and early goose. Come about mid-late December though I'll be ready.}

Well hell come on over and lets play LA DRIVE BY on Arkansas early geese... They are sitting on the corner island in front of the wonderbread store and need to be capped... do it fast enough and there is stripers to be caught. Say limits of each by 9am lol.

[Feathers and Fins]

Actually here is one for you guys to give you a laugh.

Wife and I were driving to the Doctors and a flock of geese was on the side of the road here is the conversation.

Me; Look at all those geese!

Wife: I call that dinner looking to be shot

Me what about that group ahead of them?

Wife: Lunch

Me; I agree

Wife: and that single by itself is Breakfast Burrito

Gotta love her lol.

Say when...You had me at "stripers". I might even shoot at a goose as long as it didn't get in the way of the stripers. I've shot geese. I've never caught a 20# striper.

[Feathers and Fins]

Man that's what early geese are good for, Cast n Blast. as you troll for the stripers you shoot simply turn off engine let boat come to a LEGAL complete stop and then blast. Only interferers with the striper fishing long enough to be legal oh and pick up the feathered jerky lol.

If that Bird Watcher guy is going I won't be far behind! hahahahahaha I went one time for stripers. A buddy and I got a guide on Beaver. That was about 25 years ago. Got one about six pounds and a couple of smaller ones. In your neck of the woods Scott. The whole trip was a joke with the guide. Supposed to be a all day trip. The guy was on the radio all morning talking to his buddies. About noon he says I need bait bad so we need to end his trip at noon. I thought I drove all this way to catch some stripers and he does this? Oh well live and learn. Scott will they be busting top that time of the year?

In a normal year I would say no Marty but this has been anything but normal. Special NW Zone hunt I usually find a few busting early though. That is late September, But by regular season its pretty common to catch them in the decoys.

I have to laugh but more than one time I have been caught out casting a pencil popper through my decoys when a flock of ducks comes in, its like they don't think a fisherman poses a danger to them. Although I don't dress like a hunter unless its very cold you seen the pictures of me in my bright blue Columbia shirt and Brown pants. Who says you have to have face paint camo and a beard to kill birds lol

[Bird Watcher]

I'm liking the way this sounds. Scott tells us it's on, Marty swings by, picks me up, and we head down to the ramp. Gun in one hand, rod in the other. "Which way do we cast Scott?"

[Feathers and Fins]

Cast nothing. let lines out and start trolling kick back share some stories some jerky and catch and shoot whatever comes our way.
