For the second consecutive day, we have been able to conserve ammo.
We got into our intended spot in Pool 19 on time & made fairly quick work of breaking the ice necessary to set our spread. We were set up & ready well before shooting time, but with temps in the mid 20’s nothing was flying early.
As the morning progressed, our day consisted of watching thousands of birds (snows & ducks) flying high overhead & re-breaking the ice to keep our hole open. About 0930 the sun and rising temps opened it for good. Our spread looked great & we had the only open water around, but with nothing at all flying from 9-1130, we called it a day without coming close to firing a shot.
We did have some good discussions & I remembered to take some pics, so that is going to be the main post for today.
This afternoon we’re going to fix the trailer lights that were ripped off/broke on the drive out here & I have a couple meetings. Tomorrow we’re planning to go to the draw (to try to get a choice spot) & use Pool 19 as our backup plan. Overnight temps are forecasted in the upper 20’s, so we’re hoping that the ice is minimal tomorrow.
