Saw a bunch of Gadwalls this weekend

Postby Dogzeye » Tue Oct 28, 2008 7:26 pm

While I was in the marsh fishing with Legends of the Lower Marsh, aka M. Wright.


30" Red picked up while nailing the trout.

What a blast !!

Oh and we really did see a couple of hundred gadwall the second day landing in the same flats and shallows we were fishing the day before. It was an awesome trip Mark !! Thanks, and we'll try to work in a couple of duck hunts in the delta before this season end

R J, what's happenin? How's the wife? How's the Job?

I managed one hunt last year, fuel at 3.85 kept me in check along with that 22 hour round trip drive. Guess I'm gonna have to start hunting marsh hens :shock: Maybe we'll keep low fuel prices and have some water this year along the rivers? If you make it up to the delta I have a couple of public honey holes I can share with ya now that I don't rely on them anymore :cry:

You should give Mark a call and get on that boat with him while the fishing is hot, we had an absolute blast.... I fish these east coast marhes year round, and it doesn't have anything on LA. Mark was complaining about the tide moving too fast, I didn't even notice it. I'm fishing 6-9 foot tides here :shock: , with the wrong wind conditions it looks like huge white water rapids.... Imagine that in the ole duck boat !! Man I need that upgrade.

I would have to take a wild guess here and say we stuck 60, maybe more, trout over the weekend. And, saw hundreds of reds in the marsh. Stuck quite a few of those, spooked out five times as many, but landed maybe 9 or ten. It was the fist time I have ever climbed up on a four foot platform in the front of a boat and literally picked out the fish you wanted; the rod is more like a gun than a fishing pole in this scenario. Just awesome!!

shoot me an email sometime, "first Name"."last Name"@live.com we can try to work a hunt in over Christmas or the first or second weekend in January. Maybe the ole Tallahatchie will have water this year?

Yeh that boat is something else.... I've fished a Maverick 21 out here in GA, and that is a an absolutely fine fishing machine. And, that skeeter is the same. On day one we came out of the flats to a stiff breeze and two foot chop white capping across a shallow bay. We got on top of it and rode out at fifty mph without having to hold the hand rail, that sold me on it. Of course I'm still fishing out of the duck boat over here and with bays the size of Grenanda Lake, a stiff wind will beat your brains out, so I'm partial to anything offering a comfortable trip.

The fishability was great too, it was very comfortable for three even on the front of the boat.

Yeh, it was sad !! very sad... but I had a blast. Now if I could get the dog to quit asking for a left hand shot gun everything would be great.

RJ, Mark was talking about trying to get you down to fish before the water temps dropped off. You just need to give him a call.
