Ducks Down South...

Post by bman »

The permit gods smiled on us again- we scored 3 permits for STA1 last saturday
Loaded up the boats and made the 7 hour trek South
Image
Decided to go strait to the check in line so we could get the spot we wanted.
Had a few beers and Publix Subs and slept as best we could in our trucks.
Image
The next morning met expectations.. the Drive was worth it!
Image
My Limit, Florida Mallard, Fulvis Tree Duck, Two Black Belly Whistling ducks, and Two Pintail!!!
Image
Our birds
Image
My buddy Tyler, Jamey and his daughter Katey Got into the Wigeon.
Image
Spent the afternoon and early evening at Roland Martin's Tiki Bar
Image

The next day five of us went out on Lake Okeechobee
Image
Image
Image
Found another Florida Mallard - everyone in our group got one.
Image
Also had some nice groups of ringers work us
Image
Beautiful lake and great habitat. Amazing how big it is!

Our take for two days...
9 Species!! Spoonie, blue wing, green wing, wigeon, pintail, black belly, fulvus, mottle, and ringer!
Does not get much better!

Nicely done! I am taking my son to Venice for a blast and cast trip soon. I hope we have pictures like yours. I would love to kill a pintail.

Love them STA's shoots! Some kinda fun. You really got a great mix of species. Did you put the pintail whistle on your phone as your ringer tone? :smt005
Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

Could not imagine having a few of those up here in N Fla. Folks down there don't know how good they have it.

Glad you did it up right. We go the New Years weekend ourselves.We have a guide lined up for one day so I am curious how the big lake is doing. How much that big picture of duck pile is from Okeechobee vs. STA?

Nice job! Looks like a blast.
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?
