Too much ice to hunt

[Paul Meisenheimer]

But no shortage of birds.

I was taking a picture of my mother-in-law's next door neighbour's toy tug when i saw a flock of birds on the right.

Iced in here in CT as well. Had to ram ice with my kayak to get back to the ramp after the temp dropped once the sun came up. All that work to only see birds when two guys ran their boat through my decoys.

Beautiful pictures....

nice photos Paul, that river should be loaded with cans and redheads this time of year

 

[Paul Meisenheimer]

Come on up John. Put some camo on the tug and we should be good to go. A different kind of duck boat.

 

[Paul Meisenheimer]

Ernie, more redheads than cans at the moment. A few bluebills and goldeneye as well. Even saw a couple of sawbills.

The Tug would work.
Divers wouldn't care.

I'm working on a trout fishing trip in June.

Can I come?

You are right... the divers wouldn't care.

maybe we could get Capt James to fire up that 12 valve cummins in his tug and troll some diver lines for us.. I think with these wicked cold snap, those birds will pile into the river any day now.. Season closes on the 11th so we still have time for a world class shoot yet

My gosh, it is amazing that the camera worked. It looks, soooo cold! That is a ton of ducks out there. Hope your trip out east was a good one, Paul.

Al, It has been a great trip. The river is holding lots of ducks and lots of ice. It was really windy which was the really nasty part. I took a short video. All you can hear is the wind howling and the ice grinding.

I enjoyed that video, Paul. That ice looks dangerous.
