  1. For future reference, Ringnecks should have been called Ringbills :wallbash: I can see the white ring around the bill in about half the birds. That with the fact that you were hunting in a marsh rather than more open water and it is still pretty early to have Bluebills/Scaup down in any numbers, plus now that you say they tasted great... Ringnecks are a better bird on the table IMHO, I bet that they were all Ringnecks. Great day in the marsh anyway :thumbsup_anim:

     

    Thanks for the tips on Bird ID. I'm still a bit of a green horn when it comes to ID.

     

    Yep, they're all ringers! Except the mallard of course.......3 guys I assume??

     

    Good shootin! Ringers are my favourite duck over the decoys. When they want in, there is no stopping them!! I haven't shot one yet this year, but have got into the bills pretty good!!

     

    FYI, a ringer will have grey/olive feathers on the tops of its wings, a bluebill will be white. If there is any white on the tops of the wings, they are bills. Those are all ringers for sure.

    Thanks Sinker. Hoepfully you get into the ringers soon. They where loving the decoy spread that day.. Taking shots at them , missing, and they'd come around again even closer the second time.. Crazy birds.

     

    Nice work Nick -- and on the house sale also! Congrats!

     

    Fall bass are about to arrive...

     

    Thanks Kev! The house was on the market Tuesday, and got 2 offers before the weekend. Sold for asking price.. Let me know if you need a bass fishing partner one day this month. It's going to be very busy with the big move, but I'm sure I could pass up a morning in the duck blind for a little bass fishing.

  2. I use the cheapest Federal shells I can find. #4 2-3/4". We're hunting a big marsh, with our permanent blind built right in the middle. Only way in is by canoe. It makes it a little bit of an adventure each morning, but it keeps the crowds down. Only seen one other hunter there all year so far.

     

    I've tried the black cloud, and didn't see the point in spending extra bucks.. It costs twice as much as what I'm using.

  3. I aint talking about the football team :canadian:

     

    double limit of blue bills in about 20 minutes this morning. Had the decoys packed up, and taking pictures as the sun was cresting over the trees.

     

    The best morning of water-fowling I've ever had. What a perfect way to start the long weekend. Pike fishing tomorrow, then back at the ducks Monday.

  4. First was the pre-pre-report. Now we have the pre-report.

     

    Still gets more hits than my actual report... Maybe he's onto something

     

    Don't forget the post between pre report, and pre pre report. The plea for help to save the stranded fisherman near bellville. The little bruder i'm assuming..

  5. Thanks Dan! They are an AWESOME music school in Barrie! They hold 3 shows a year (at Sticky Fingers) so students can play in a live setting and get used to it! The teachers fill in where they need to (even if they dislike the song! Haha!)! In this case, the drummer (11 yr old female) picked the song and then they asked my son to learn it as no other student could shred it like him. The 2 singing are 2 of their teachers. These guys give sooooo much of themselves for their students, it's insane! They are the absolute best!

     

    Thanks for liking the video! :D

     

    Does he take lessons from Kelly Davies? He used to run an open mic at sticky fingers once a week.

     

    You'r boy is doing great for only 2.5 years of playing.

  6. Miracon,

     

    Those are decent reels, and should last a long time. The rods should be OK too, they may have lost a little back bone with old age. The top rod looks like a great pan fish set up.

     

    Make sure you clean the reels out really good before you spin them to much. If you're in the neighbourhood, stop by, I can show you some basic reel maintenance tips.

     

    The combos you guys bought earlier this year are mush better. I'd be using them for my primary rod. These two old ones are good back up rigs.. or for the kids..

  7. work alcoholic my hole working life

    I guess if you are your own boss, you can't fire your self for being drunk on the job :whistling: ..

     

    I might be out for a bit on one of those days. Perchin. I'll let you know closer to the date. Trying to sell my house. So I we have another open house that weekend, I will have to leave for 5 hours. Good excuse to go fishing, not that I need an exuse..
