Ducks
 

anyone seeing any ducks...We was working by i49 near bunkie today i saw several big groups of ducks fly over. just wondering if anyone else is seeing any

My father-in-law went to Pecan Island on SUN morning to check out his buddies lease and he was suprised at how few ducks he saw. They got out to the lease about 8:00am. Only saw 1 flock of teal and several pair of mottle ducks. I have not checkout our lease in Kaplan yet. Our land owner will have it ready by the middle of next week.

seen a few in west cove..some spoonies,mottle ducks,few teal

Took a ride out to Miami Corp thru the Latania Lake cut and around Lake Misere and didn't see much. The boat I was in has a loud exhaust and usually scares them up also nothing around the refuge around Lacassine Bayou

Plenty of ducks this weekend just past Little Chenier Rd to Creole, all on the south and east side of the road. Lots of teal,grays, and weigion

hundreds of woodies here...

Had about 500 holding on our lease last weekend mostly teal, mallards and greys with a few pintail but I would imagine they have moved some with all of the rain. I can't remember having this much rain in October and would anticipate a poor first part of the season due to the fact that with all of this water they can go where they want to avoid hunting pressure.

I agree. I hope it does not rain for at least another 30 days or more.

yep, i was happy when the basin was so low a few months back i had hope

the less rain we get here on out the better

well its coming tom so y'all better hope harder

Birds
 

Yulp I have been eye balling those too. I saw a large group on little cheneir road yesterday, those just showed up.

I'm not seeing to many birds on the west side of the river, mainly on the
east.

( I think the flyway has shifted that way anyway.)

And. East Geauydon has got some Speckelbellys.

I was fishing and shrimping a couple of weeks ago in the Calcasieu River just north of Big Lake and around 7:00am I had a canvasback and 2 mallards(drake and hen) flyright over the boat. I live in Montgomery off the Red River and have been seeing a few groups. My trigger finger is starting to shake some, it's wanting to put a couple of greenies down. I hope the water goes down. The Red River is very swollen and it doesn't look like the rain is going to let up anytime soon. Luckily my blind goes on my boat so there is not a lot of prep work I have to do.:shaking:

Quackhead, I love that avatar. I'm hoping to get a mount done similar to that except I wanna use a wood duck.

Chokka Block in Gueydan

Cat Daddy is that geese or ducks? Also, have you seen any off Highway 14 going from Gueydan to Kaplan?????

Where the shrimp at? how much you caught?, how big they was?, what you pushing?, ya dragging?, ya casting?, how big?, whites,? browns?, what count?......

I have no further questions...

Seen some ducks just to the south of hwy 14 just outside of gueydan.. Alot down south of Gueydan in the marshes.. I made a trip back in the marsh the other day, and seen ALOT of big ducks.. Still a bunch of teal.. There is also a bunch in the marshes just north of Intracoastal City..

had some ole beckled spellies fly over me today at work

I heard a few geese over Delcambre last Friday, I'm glad my brother heard em too cuz I thought I was hearing things.

Thanks longsidelandry, that one was for a customer about a year ago. I tinker with taxidermy on the side a little, and cat daddy, as far as how much did i get, i am glad i have a day job. We didn't get much that day. It was the first cool front we had, but net enough to push them out of the marshes. This front may have enough if they have not already pulled out. I shrimp with a 24 foot trawl behind a aquasport 22'. Size was good mediums with very few sea bob's
