Had another successful day out of Stony today. It was a slow pick but we ended the day with a decent catch of fish. Incidentally I grilled some browns, smoke a cisco, and fried some pike we caught on the river yesterday. What a feast!!!! All the fish came out delicious especially with the strawberry rhubarb pie my wife made for desert.

Packed my lunch and put in a banana to test the myth. We fished for browns early and caught 3 and a couple bonus whitefish in 10-25 fow off boards and 2 color leadcores. Things got slow and I was thinking of chucking the banana. We made a move to deeper water and set some snap weights and riggers. Around 11:30 a snap weight took a rip and we soon had our first king of the year. Shortly after the rigger fired and it was another king on the cheater. Missed another good one after having on for quite a while and missed a few other hits and caught another brown and a small king.. By 2:00 the bite slowed and although we trolled another hour had no more hits. We ended up with a nice mix on a beautiful day and saw very few boats out. Best of all I even got to eat the banana!

I was working a Tom and hen out around 250 yards with a cheap hen decoy moving in the wind about 10 yards away. I heard a sound of wings and caught movement as a large hawk swooped down and nailed my decoy! It knocked the decoy off the stake and didn’t want to let go. It then jumped off and stood next to it and then moved 5 feet away and stared some more before flying off. Unfortunately the photos and video I took didn’t turn out due to the brush. The real turkeys moved off and when I checked the decoy there were talon holes in it.

Had a very eventful hunt this morning. set up in a blind and had 5 birds come into the field out 400 yards shortly joined by 8 more birds. I could see 3 long beards fanned up and several others chasing. It took a while but when they saw my moving strutter decoy they headed my way. Once they got to 10oz yards I knew they were coming. The dominant Tom ran in the last 75 yards and I shot him at 15 yards The rest stayed in the field for over an hour and had a Jake come into the decoys two more times. There were 3 long beards, 3 jakes, and 2 bearded hens in the group and I got some video as well. Tom was likely dominate bird as it had 1” spurs, 9 1/2” beard, and weighed 20.2 lbs.

I’m going away for a week and won’t return home till 5 days before opener. Since I’m hunting the same farm I’ve hunted for years I decided to put up 4 pop up blinds early without much scouting. (I have seen plenty of birds on the farm). They generally roost in same areas yearly so I’m confident where I set them up and birds will have plenty of time to get use to them. I’ll have a few days to scout before season opens to determine which I want to hunt first but I’ve killed multiple birds at all 4 locations previously.
