Worst weekend of hunting all season - not one bird bagged - no shots fired. Birds are high and not many around with the good weather. Yesterday was the most bluebird of bluebird days. The Bay was 'glass' and the few birds we did see were very high and not 'workable'. Had a couple of seals on the rocks getting suntanned! Only a couple other boats out and only heard one shot all afternoon. 55 degree sunny weather with no wind - not a waterfowler's dream!
Friday it was a good tide at dawn and then dropped to mud but came back in with a snow squall. Saw a few birds, mostly high, but had one lock into the dekes, cup his wings, passed over the decoys and then swung around to land outside (probably giving me the finger!). Should've taken him on the pass by!!! My bad!
Will be out over the New Year's break - looking for some more seasonable temperatures!
