Photoz Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Yesterday was bad enough . . . +8 & a 30 klick north wind . . . although the hits were pretty scarce, I got 7 . . . ALL in the 12 - 15 pound range. Had the whole river to myself . . . just me & the ducks! This brood can't be more than a few days old . . . and are under the watchful eye of Momma Duck EVERY second. It must be her second brood . . . many of the first batches of ducklings are completely feathered out & flying now . . . . Even at this tender age, they still come running when I set my groundbait bucket down!! Here's 7 l'il stuffed ducks, taking a nap (just polished off about a pound of groundbait) with guard! I'm thinking I might take my ice auger up this morning . . . . T W N says only +5 presently . . . . but, it might be a while before I get another shot at 'em, so I'd better make the best of it!

Good luck today, Steve. +5 isn't bad, as least it's not gonna be as windy today ( I hope ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsn Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Awwwe no shots of them feeding off your gorund bait? I love the last shot you took of the duck going into you bucket and helping themselves its harlious. I occasionally get the sparrow or redwind black bird go after my can of corn. When I'm out. I think the birds are catching on to us. I'll try to get a shot of it next time I'm out. dsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 It was a chilly one this morn in the Kawarthas for sure. I got up at 5am for work and was thinking of riding the motorbike into Toronto but one step outside sure changed my mind fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Pike Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I would rather have cool weather to fish than get fried in the boat all day.Warm clothes can be taken off when it warms up.I burn like a lobster so a clod front is A OK.MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfville Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Steve, so, how did it go? We had a tough time in CAGI. I am thinking to compensate that with a trip to the east. As long as there's chance to get into fish. And the ducks are ripened? Let me know if I should bring my BBQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
