Bird ID.....Pretty sure that's a domestic goose. Lots of times they escape from Farms and set up residency in local areas. There is one on the Genny that hangs out with some Canadas. They tends to be about as ornery as the darn swans.

Rob was that a park duck? Great pics man....

Not too scenic...Not of fishing...But these are my all time favorite pictures. Keeping up with Jerry's pics of his labs, here's my buddy Parker doing what he loves.....

What a tough life those guys have up in the Bearing Sea. A tough loss for the family and fleet. Captain Phil was a dedicated fisherman and he cared a lot about his crew. Hell he stayed out for days after the blood clot incident while fishing Opies. I'm sure the Boys(Jake and Josh) will carry on Phil's legacy and the Cornelia Marie will be at it again....RIP Captain.....

Hans sent you a PM

Very nice....Those are some hogs.....

Just shot one of the Savage ML2 muzzle loaders the other day....Holy NO smoke! I was impressed with the accuracy and the extremely low recoil. Crome like you said...You only need one shot. I think that going to a Muzzle Loader will make me a better hunter Plus it puts a new spin on deer hunting.. Good luck with the Savage 20.....Mid summer I'll have the new smoke pole with a nice piece of glass on it.....

Hello Dave.....Man did you get spoiled going out with captain Mick.....he's a great fishermen and a hell of a guy. Good luck and enjoy the site....

Thanks man......

I have to get some vacation slips in for work and I was wondering if anyone knew the dates for these tournaments? Thanks guys.

Hey...Don't you guys work?

I used to use St. Croix's but they stopped making them more than 10 years ago. Too bad because I broke one recently. I went with the Okuma Blue diamond...Not the roller rods...Plain old flimsey 10'6 s and I put a twilly on the ends. They have been awesome....

Those are hand made custom mold decoys that me and my buddy make. My buddy carver a blank out of wood. Used layered latex to make the mold. Then we used two part expanding foam for the body and heads. The Keels are pine. Those are the prototypes. As of right now we have Battleship BlueBills, Canvasbacks, Whistlers, Scoters. My buddy also stated making regular size Bills, Cans, and redheads......I like the monster Dekes because they are different and you don't need a lot of them....

I appreciate the comments guys. I knew there would be a few posts from guys who muzzle load the traditional way VS in lines. Its kinda like Bow hunters who use traditional longbows VS guys who use compounds. The area I hunt is open to center fires. I figured I could buy a gun that could preform like a rifle, but could also allow me to hunt the late season. From what I have read, The savage is a pretty devastating weapon that would fit that bill. I'm with you Ray, Usually one shot one Kill. Ive tried to discipline myself to that and I've found that I tend to wait for the perfect shot to ensure a humane kill. I was once one of the "Sprayin and Prayin guys" but with getting older comes the patience......Thanks again for all the feed back.

Guys....I'm going to get into shooting a muzzle loader next year and I'm going to start doing my homework. A friend of mine shoots a Savage ML2 and loves it. He says shooting the smokeless powder is awesome. Anyone shoot one of these guns? If so what kind of range can you get out of them? Thanks for the help.......

SWEEEEET.......Oh yea......Love them divers. All I can say is CANS!

I hope you like lots of company....... I dread hunting Rochester areas sometimes..... I can't wait till the sea ducks come down. then you can find me 5 miles out banging away....Weather permitting of course

WOW.....Kinda makes me want to come out of tournament retirement

There you go rick......New rig for ya

Sweeeeeet!

Those things are like bees out there .....I love hunting offshore

Sponge I have been using my walleye boards for a 350 copper and a full core +3oz dive bomb....I just move the weight on the board towards the back of the board. Ive never had any trouble with the walleye boards triping...the 600 copper would probably not work though

I've been running the new X-4 all season. It totally blows away the old fishhawk. Worth the money....

Second , third, fourth that...Joe is a Legend on the lake.....Great guy too

That was a chunky monkey....LOL
