I use the same waders and boots that I use for fly fishing. Stocking foot waders. Wading boots. Fins you can buy on Amazon. Two buckles. Put them on over your boots. Make sure you have a PFD. Inflatable ones are good. I bass fish and fly fish from a float tube. You can always PM for moore...

I have to share my lunch with my Labs. It is payback for all my missed shots. John

I tried. I called the lead for the project and expressed my concerns as well. Wister is not NorCal. It is not SJ. It will become an access issue for the older hunters making their way out to those freaking island Blinds. There are options on where to duck hunt other than Wister. However, there...

I saw it this morning. It swam off rather than fly when I walked by. I see them in Mission Bay quite a bit when I am on the boat. But, that is where they should be. Plenty of Eel Grass. John

Crap. That is a busy spot. John

Nice Buck! .30 .06 all the way. John

Did you get a Buck this season? How is your dog working out? John

My brother and I headed North to hunt ducks. Hunted Friday through Sunday. No shortage of ducks. Took Nikita. She did really well. Snowed good starting Saturday evening through most of Sunday. John

I hunted SJ today. I figured, no way will the sweatline be as long as Saturday. It was close. Around 60 today versus 70 on Saturday. Wind came up good by 1100am. I took my older Lab out today. Montana had a lot of fun. I imagine it will be packed Saturday. John

I took Nikita with me and headed for SJ this morning. There were 40 plus guys on the sweatline. We drew 35. Nothing really open. Went with the refill option. A guy came in with 6 ducks from one of the Marshes. We took that Blind. The wind was howling. Ducks were flying from all directions. I got...

Nice Duck! John

I will likely head up to Bishop for closing weekend. John

I will likely hunt Wister next Wednesday off the sweatline. Where would you go? North End or South? They shot a 2.4 on Saturday which was better than SJ shot. John

It takes plenty of time and it is fairly comprehensive. I have logged a lot of time at sea just on my boat and it was a good refresher. I have my card and I have seen them check at the launch Ramps. At least on the ocean. John

We lose duck hunters every year in boating related incidents. Yak, canoe, Jon Boat. It don't matter. We are hunting in typically cold water and are wearing waders. You fall in off a boat in deep water and you cannot work yourself out of your waders then you are toast without a PFD. Need to wear...
