    More "Walk Out" Blinds for 2013

    Hello Jello, Yes I am sure. I went out to Blind 41 and Blind 43 in 2010 to check them out and they both had a nice, flat, hard, sand bottom. I rented Blind 43 in 2011 and when I went out to set my decoys (before sunrise) I walked right into a pit ... rather than having a few inches of water...

    still no birds...and still no ducks dec 15/12

    Hello Guys, As I reported earlier today under my "Ice at Long Point" thread: That open area within the Inner Bay that I had previously mentioned has greatly enlarged over the last two days ... it now looks like a large arear near Booth's Harbour is open east to the Turkey Point marsh and all...

    More "Walk Out" Blinds for 2013

    Hello Jello, I was out at Blind 43 twice last season (2011) and it was fine as they had dug a pond there. The problem that I found was that after the teal "move out" Blind 41 and Blind 43 are not too productive. Jerome

    Ice at Long Point - 1212

    Hello Guys, That open area within the Inner Bay that I had previously mentioned has greatly enlarged over the last two days ... it now looks like a large arear near Booth's Harbour is open east to the Turkey Point marsh and all the way out to EC 10 and beyond. I can also see what looks like...

    More "Walk Out" Blinds for 2013

    Hello Guys, I know that this suggestion may be a bit late to present to the Board of Directors but I would be interested in your comments. As I was recovering from a bout of the flu earlier this week I spent some time reflecting on what we have and how we could improve on what we have here at...

    still no birds...and still no ducks dec 15/12

    Hello Binkley and Kicks, I agree with Binkley about the Buffleheads in that they taste okay if they are cooked right. They are also easy to skin. I agree with Kicks about the Buffleheads in that they do decoy even while I have been retrieving another duck. They do however make good live...

    Down with old crows against change

    Hello OCLP, Yes I am ... as per the testimony provided by two witnesses at the Federal Court House on University Avenue in Toronto back in 2002. By the way ... there is not a "cut,copy & paste" option on the computer ... there is a "cut and paste" option and a "copy and paste" option. Jerome

    Ice at Long Point - 1212

    Hello Riverduck, I have spent the last two days digging out from the snow so I am not sure about the ice conditions at the Howey boat launch. However I would imagine that nobody is plowing the road from the gate at the end of Howey Avenue to the boat launch. Furthermore if there was still any...

    Hello Fiddlesticks, I always review my posts for grammatical (note the spelling) and typographical errors before I post them. I then review them a second time after they are posted to check the format and to review again for grammatical and typographical errors. Fault me if you wish but I at...

    Ice at Long Point - 1212

    Hello Guys, We had a mild night (0C) on December 25 to 26 and consequently the rest of the ice from Christmas Day had melted. That strong east wind yesterday pushed a lot of water into the west end of the Inner Bay ... read my post on the "December 26" thread. We had a cold night (-4C) last...

    dec 26th

    Hello Guys, I came down with a sudden case of the flu on Monday afternoon ... big time! Consequently I did not risk going out yesterday so soon after my recovery on Christmas Day. I could see hunters at Blind 40 (Jonny1duck and "wannabe" partner), Blind 34, and one guy in Zone B. I heard some...

    Down with old crows against change

    Hello Canvasbacksca, You apparently sought an explanation and I graciously provided two possibilities. I have waited for OCLP's explanation as to what he was actually implying or inferring. Jerome

    Ice at Long Point - 1212

    Hello Guys, Nearly all of that ice that I had reported yesterday morning was gone by late afternoon. This morning there was between 50 and 100 yards of ice along the shoreline where the water was calm overnight. However as of 1600 hours this afternoon there was only between 25 and 50 yards of...

    Down with old crows against change

    Hello Guys, Just a few points: 1) I am not taking any of this personally and I hope that nobody else is either. 2) I realize that we all love "The Point" for basically the same reasons ... the beach, the boating, the fishing and the hunting. Jerome PS Fiddlesticks ... I was hoping to cash...
