Same song, third verse.
About a dozen shorts, one lizard and one keeper flounder.
1/4 oz red head jig and root beer colored grubs.
Got a late start, had spent the morning slaying ducks, left when the rain set in.

Thank Goodness it wasn't one of those "skunker" trips. One is better than none. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Shoulda gone back for an afternoon shoot. :o It probably wouldn't have mattered. Wet and cold is miserable, regardless of where you are.
What was I supposed to do today?

Rocket, we've got some small ponds both planted and natural just north of Lake Seminole that usually hold woodies and teal early in the year. After a few weeks of constant shooting on the lake we'll start seeing some ring necks and blue bills as well.

Started to go sit in the deer stand when I got home as the rain quit as soon as I got in the driveway. Guess that would have been a SOWEGA grand slam. :-)

Can you describe the planted ponds? Do you flood a crop? Just curious, sounds like heaven to me. Is this a lease, club, etc?

BH, private ponds. Those with natural cover get the edges planted with corn which is the flooded after it makes. Those without cover get corn, millet and egyptian wheat planted then flooded. The egyptian wheat can grow upwards to 10' tall which provides cover for the hunters as well as the ducks.

TK, finally figured out the 3 month discrepancy. :oops:
