The hunting and fishing are about as good as it gets right now. I’ve been fishing when I have trips booked and duck hunting when I’m off. The fish are stacked up in feeding frenzies all over the lake and the ducks are here and holding with new birds coming in. Today I took out a group of 2 on a fishing trip and my cousin Micah went duck hunting with 2 other hunters.

The fishing was awesome today as expected. We started off the morning on anchor using bait in 32 ft on top of a ledge. It took about 20 minutes for the fish to really wake up and stack up under the boat but when they did it was on. In about an hour we but a limit of 20 good box fish in the boat and pulled anchor to spend the rest of our time playing C&R using lures and looking for a big fish. We thankfully found 1 big fish that went about 10 lbs. It was a little on the slim side but still good and healthy. We released it to fight another day. We were using 4” and 5” glow sassys in all depths of water under the birds. We steadily caught fish the whole trip until it got time to head back to the dock.







Here is the duck hunting report from Micah:

This morning we hunted a hole that Brian and I have hunted for years and it has always been good for some birds, especially under pressure. Luckily it paid off again today as we came back with a nice limit of 7 teal, 4 mallards, 4 gadwalls, and 3 pintails. We had good cloud cover to keep the birds flying low and late into the morning. We’ve come home with lots of birds our last 3 trips out and I'm looking forward to doing it again in the morning.







Good Luck to All,
Brian and Micah

just curious...are you a THF sponsor?

Yes I'm a TFF sponser but I haven't got the sponser tag added to my nickname in the THF yet.

That looks like a Christmas tree of stripers and a nice string of ducks...Congrats to all

Thank you

You are all making me miss using my boat. Soon enough I hope, nailed two interviews this week. Final 3 on both. So just got to make it through next week.

Nice pics. I go to the coast and catch Flounder and Reds after coastal hunts. Sure does make the drive home a challenge due to sleep deprivation but it is worth it. Amp/Redbull rock
