Went back to Houma to see some family this weekend, and went and ride around the marsh. Saw lots of teal and grey ducks.

Rode the lease in Bayou Black on Saturday late morning time. Lots of teal and wood ducks. A few divers as well. Looks promising.

I saw a ton of them in Alberta two weeks ago

But seriously where I hunted in Alberta two weeks ago it was highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s.

Since then the front that is hitting us today came through there a few says ago. Highs in the 20s and lows in the teens. Ducks should definitely be on the move.

Shite ton out on 15 East of Funroe. Fields are already looking legit and it is still a ways till opener. I imagine a few youths will be found beforehand just to get out in the field. Specks have to be getting thick up in Morehouse Parish but no confirmation on that.

Birds are shoulder to shoulder west of Houston. We stopped opening up water to save some food for later in the season. They are hammering the ponds that have been roller chopped. Kickoff on Saturday.

We've got'em in ponds and swamps everywhere down here as of this morning with more lighting every hour. Dogs have had to be brought-out on the golf courses today. Buddy down in Santee told me they're flocking into both lakes today. Biggest numbers he's seen in years.

I'm calling my cousin over in West Point (MS) and my brother in Maddox Bay (Arkansas) tonight, to find out what they're seeing over out that way.

Saw lots of grey ducks, bwt and one group of about 4 sprigs in CenLa. Nearly caught a drake mallard pulling up to brush a river blind but he was a cripple from last season and couldn't fly well and jumped out the grass next to the boat on the bank and when he hit open water he was normal looking and full plumed and majestic looking. Some sky buster prolly shot at it and he's been dodging gators ever since.

We open South Zone in Texas on Saturday. Gonna be in flooded rice between Anahuac and Winnie. Struggling with water like everyone else in South LA as well. Barely got the fields flooded since water in canals was brackish until we got rain a few weeks back. Marsh is still super dry on the Eastside.

Birds are pretty thick now but I imagine they beat it over the weekend to probably over towards the Bay City and El Campo areas where they have more water.
