JohnP Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 ...... it's time to break out the flamingos and fishing poles ;). Sat til 11am and seen 6 distant ducks total all morning. Did have a crow caller with us and called in a couple flocks and managed to drop one and shot at a few others so the morning wasn't a total bust with the guns. Broke out the poles and fished til 3:30 targeting crappie. Struggled at first but finally found a brush pile that was holding some and it didn't matter what color jig we threw they hit it, unfortunately other than one keeper they were all 7 to 9 inches with a few pushing the 10 inch mark. Still fun catching them and caught 30 to 40 between us. Bonus catch of the day an A-rig ;). BilletHead, duckydoty and Johnsfolly 3
jdmidwest Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Snow geese have been pouring north up the Mississippi Flyway since yesterday. I think it is a sign that winter is over. Big flocks and lots of them. I saw a bunch of robins last week before the ice storm, I think they were just confused.

BilletHead Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Oh My gosh it is getting crazy when the flamingos become part of the spread. Still trying to figure out our hunt John. Got wrangled into a hunt with a pregnant lady today, really true story maybe story tomorrow or the day after .

duckydoty Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Sorry I did not see your pm till just a few minutes ago. Spent the day looking for walleye and crappie from KDock up to Beaver.

Only saw 2 duck up my way all day No worries DD, it was a long shot as I get poor reception down that way and didn't know if it went thru. Was Buster in the white Mako? Looked like him but didnt realize that till after I was getting out of his way. They were pull out behind us and the client said they'd caught a few good crappie from up that way. May just replace the shotgun with the rod and focus on fishing at least down here ;).
