I was quit sore from yesterdays hunt, so I decided to hunt a spot that was a little easier to access. I hunted the east slough instead of the south slough. I did have some shooting, but it was not great! I do know that if I would have gone to where I was yesterday(the south slough) I would have had much better shooting.
I have no doubt that Fritz is starting to feel his age and is slowing down. He did find the two ducks for me but we did lose one. His nose is still very keen, but his stamina is fading.

Today was opening of duck season, and it was a typical opening; lots of ducks before the opening time, and then come legal shooting time and they have disappeared. there were more wood ducks than I have ever seen, in fact ninety-nine percent of the ducks were wood ducks. Vegetation in this area is quit thick, in fact the wild rice is everywhere.
I did see some fisherman that were fishing out of a boat catching crappies by the canoe landing.

Tonight I was fished a spot I had never fished before. The weather was just plan nasty: rain, wind and cold. From litter left from past fisherman it looked to be a very popular spot. The bluegills were fairly active tonight.
I did have an encounter with a beggar tonight. Now this was not your run of the mill hold their hand out type of beggar. It was more like hold your bill out. You see it was a blue heron, shy poke, cream shitter or whatever you would like to label it as. I first noticed this bird on the opposite shore trying to catch its own supper. It then saw me catch a few bluegills and the next thing I know it is standing about ten yards away from me batting its big eyes at me.
I deeply hooked a bluegill, so I thought what the hell, we’ll see if the bird is really looking for a hand out. I tossed the bluegill towards my new found buddy and sure enough that bird scarfed that bluegill down like it was a guppy. I did deeply hook another bluegill and that one met the same fate, shortly after the bird flew off with a full tummy of bluegills.

I fished before work this morning. I had wanted to have some time after work to get my airboat ready for the upcoming duck season. Surprisingly I did not catch anything, usually I always get something from shore at Lytles.

Fall is into full swing and my fishing success is down the tubes! The water has drastically cooled and it has become cloudy from the winds of the past couple of days. Tonight I was looking to fill the live well with some nice perch. Unfortunately the perch nor anything else for that matter were cooperative.
The north winds of the past couple of days have really brought the ducks in. I am getting both excited and prepared for the upcoming season on Saturday.
