Those fiddleheads are tasty! Nice work!

Happy turkey eve! What are you guys favorite tactics for opening morning. I try to get close to the roost tree, set up my hen decoy and call softly but not too much. Had this guy all fired up and he came right in less then 10 yds last year! 

We have lots of birds in Astorville now. They are deffinitley pushing further north! Was scouting today in Caistor Centre. Seen a big gobbler on the prowl. Can't wait to get in the blind! Good luck Gentlemen! 

I flip my 12 foot kayak upside down and leave the gate up. No issues at all. I'm able to tow my boat with the kayak in the bed this way when I want to bring all the toys. I've also put a 10' tinner in the back upside down with the gate down. It can definitely be done.

Nice catch.

you giving out crappie spots?

Thanks! I won't give out the exact location beacuse it took alot of hours in the cold over the past few years to figure it out! 🤐 But I will say it's on the upper grand near Dunville as a general location. Good luck!

Gives a whole new meaning to a 'crappy day' ....

and 'top of the line' eating !  

It certainly does! They sure are tasty! 

Got out the other day on the boat and had a pretty good day on the water. Fish were very picky. Went through a few baits until I figured out what made them click. The bite was extremely light. You couldn't feel it at all. I love chasing these spotted fish around! Made for a pretty solid fish fry! Anyone else still getting them? Thought I was done with the boat but the weather looks great again this weekend! Not bad for mid December!

I'll take a look for sure. Thanks for the info. It sounds like alot of fun 

How do these kayak tournaments work? Do you launch from anywhere or all together at the same place? Also is it paddle power only or are electric motors allowed?

My oops!

just glanced quickly at the photo and saw the 3 toe marks - didn’t pay attention to the rear mark.

No worries! That's what these forums are for. Good luck out there everyone! And watch for ticks lol

Roadrunner, thats the tracks of a young turkey.

The one I posted is a turkey track. Tinyboatcams picture is not. You can see the size in comparison to the cat track in his picture. They also do not have a long toe off the back of their foot. There are no small young poults this time of year. Hope this helps

Good morning everyone, spent the morning scouting new private land. Heard groups of gobbling turkeys responding to crow and owl calls. Spotted what looked like a Jake in a field about 100yds away but he continued onto the next field and not mine. Question for you all. There’s a area in the fence where it seems like they come off the roost and into the fields. How far away should I place a decoy to attract him to my hunting property? Should I use a hen or a Jake? Is it best to be there at daybreak or afternoon when the males are back out on the hunt?  Also are these turkey tracks? Thanks so much. Good luck 

Deffinitley not turkey tracks. Way too small and they look nothing like that. Best way to get a bird is being patient and spending lots of time out there. Find turkey tracks and wait in that area, it could take all day,  or it could take all week just be patient. I find after the hens go back to the nest in the morning the best time. Good luck

It's the ascend 128x. There is tracks near the storage compartment on the front ill deffinitley have to get a rod holder for up there. Have a hummingbird 561 to throw on it. How heavy of a anchor do you think I'd need? I'll probably be fishing a little bit of everything from it.

Finally upgraded my old 10 foot pelican to this beauty. I Don't know alot about this style of kayak though. What are some must haves for this type? Or kayaks in general?

Sorry Karen, but you’re quite simply wrong.

If your definition of a cat is that fluffy hair ball generating creature that occupies your home, thats one thing. Ive got one of those things as well.

 

Alternatively there is this non-native thing called a feral cat, one that simply lives around abandoned buildings or woods and doesn’t exist on free handouts served in a dish. They are there because some citidiot didnt want to pay to get rid of it properly after it clawed up their couch, but rather dropped it off on the side of the road in the country to fend for itself. Free fluffy feeling.

They freely multiply and survive on whatever they can kill. Hopefully mice/rats and not the native species like rabbits, turkeys, song birds, etc.

Get a dozen of those on a 50 acre parcel and you have a problem that someone else has to deal with.

 

stick to catch and release, and dont kill those invasive gobies.  it will make you feel better.

 

Exactly. Key word here is feral cats. But that's the problem with this topic the cat lovers just don't get it so it never goes anywhere lol

Way too many boats out there this year. Love being pushed into 5 feet of water because someone doesn't want to move from "their" path. Happens all of the time, so I try to avoid shared spots as much as possible.

 

Lots of small walleye (6"ers) being caught this year. More so than I have ever caught.

Never used to be this way only gonna be worse now lol 😉

Haha hilarious exactly what I mean. Guys who read all the posts and don't contribute are about to head there! Keep it to the DMs if ya want to help. Saves hundreds of others from seeing. But I'll take the hero badge for trying to help you understand lol 

Lol why don't you go catch and clean them for him too hero. Keep on posting spots. Always fun trolling with 100 boats. Keep up the good work.... #socialspotburn
