This past Saturday was another good one. Big wind predicted so we were hot to get out on the lake. Was already somebody on the point we wanted so we had to make a last minute change and race for a secondary position. Limits of bluebill, redhead, and mallard down by about 1pm. The wind built all day and made for a mighty sporty decoy pickup and run back to the marina. One of those blows that, if it howled about another 5 miles an hour faster, you wouldn't want to get out in.
Kaas arrives for a three day shoot on Friday, I'm praying for weather. Wind is supposed to shift out of the NW this week and we've got a full moon so there's a chance for flight ducks. Still no canvasbacks but we saw our first buffleheads and whistlers on Sat so the wedgeheads can't be far behind.
