Out at the farm for the weekend, blind is brushed, decoys out and an old friend coming out in the morning. Had around 60 birds on the tank when I got here this afternoon, feeling good

Well how you feeling now.

[NuffDaddy]

Now I had one of those days that makes you want to never go hunting again today.

With a little wind and cloud cover tomorrow should shoot good. Bluebird calm days are usually quick and done here

A lot of that going around lately. Makes you feel better knowing you aren't alone.

Yeah. And I didn't break or loose anything so that's good too.

Got to the launch at LST in an attempt to diver hunt. Everything was going good until we got out the cut to the bay when the overheat alarm starts going off on the outboard. Looked back to see no water coming out of the motor. Shot it off and opened up the cover and the motor was smoking hot. Remembered I forgot to put the motor down when I got out of the water yesterday to drain it, so the water lines froze up. Got the mr buddy heater out and set it up on the outside of the motor. After about 10 min I started the motor back up and the water started flowing a bit. Started busting ice again to try and find open water. Found a pocket with some birds in it so we started setting up there. Had 3 of 5 lines out and the wind picked up and the ice started blowing out and took the lines with them. Got that mess untangled and sorted out and headed straight into the wind angling toward shore. Found some more water and set back up. About 10min in the wind quit and the hole froze up. Said screw it and just sat there anyway. Then the wind picked back up from a different direction and took all the lines with it again. Took about 45min to get that all sorted out and loaded up and headed for home. My now ice was 1/2"+ and we were 2 miles from the launch. So that was a long cold boat ride. But we make it back safe and sound.
This was all in 15-25* weather and we never pulled the trigger all morning. And both of my buddies found new leaks in their waders.

[Woody]

Our morning didn't go much better.

[The Duck Hammer]

Wind was blowing like a mother fucker here. What few shots we took went over there backs or way behind. Been a rough week of hunting with little bird action.

So you're really on pace to tie last season's record.

Sometimes these old boats come on the market. I've seen a few turned into fishing boats. Would make a sweet duck boat.

That sucks. I woulda taken some of that wind here this morning. Pretty much dead calm other than the couple little gusts that came through and screwed everything up.
Couple of my buddies went out deep with a layout and got 4 man limit of squaw this morning.

There was a CG boat for sale somewhere around here a year or 2 ago. Had 3 or 4 outboards, double deck, and was like 35' long. Someone posted about it in MS I think.

We finished up before the wind hit but could have used at least a little

I used to think the same thing, (and maybe the fire is going out a little), but sometimes you just need to stay home. As it is now, the layout can handle bigger water than the tender, and when temps start getting down to the point everything is icing virtually immediately, things can go from bad to worse in less time than it takes to read this...


Yeah. I'm a puss.

Ice is sketchy. I'll go out in most anything if it's above 30*. Colder than that, I watch the weather and keep to shallower water. If I had a bigger boat, I'm sure I'd be a little less cautious. When things go to worse and your in a 16' flat bottom on the Great Lakes it could become a life or death situation real quick.

[DeadEye_Dan]

I'm gonna regret this, but -

What?

On the GL it can become life or death real quick in just about anything.

Supposed to be 40 tomorrow and 50 Sunday down here. Is it supposed to warm up, up there?

[DeadEye_Dan]

Yah, not quite that much though. Supposed to be 1-3's tomorrow, so we're going to give it a go.

We are trying to decide if we'll give it a go tomorrow or not.
