Any Wham Brake hunters on here

Can't launch until 4 am, got to be off by 2 pm. Put in at the bridge and head South.

Just looking for general info

It's mostly a stump filled cess pool that for some reason holds birds. It's now a WMA, part of Sage so it follows those rules. It also attracts alot of pressure from Mecca's finest public hunting crowd, but the only way to kill ducks out there on a regular basis is to have a MM or outboard (and say prayers that the lower unit will survive the abuse). It also helps to have a boat blind.

I have 70's memories of Wham but I don't remember seeing Farrah there.

Can't confirm Wham Brake sightings but she and The Six Million Dollar Man were definitely sighted in NELA duck hunting on numerous occasions.

My deer woods are next door the shooting has picked up as the season has progressed

I got in a ton of trouble in 84 wading Wham behind the carbon plant

Stained to carpet of my Dads new truck with that black shite

Boy could you shoot wood ducks

If I was to hunt it now I wouldn't go out till 10

behind devils swamp - it is the second most polluted water in LA.. you cannot drown there - you would dissolve first.

So it's not really safe for an outboard?

We ran it with an outboard but it's not for the faint of heart. However, that was 15 years ago. I have no clue what it is like now, but it can't be much better. Luckily, we haven't had to lower our standards to Wham since then.

He's due East of Wham bordering it. Just North of the woods where the camps I think you're talking about are at.

It's the OD green camp with a blue metal roof.

Wonder how pot luck has been faring lately? I figure they've had an awful run this year with all the water just getting to the camp.

It's been terrible. And now he's on a drilling rig for the rest of the season, so he's done unless we try the geese again in a few weeks.

It seems since they've been managing Wham, the surrounding private areas have declined every year. Used to be, it'd get full of water, had permanent blinds, etc. and you could go out to the private places on the weekends and bust their arse most of the time. We still see a lot of birds, but they all lock up and sail into Wham. When you drive over the bridge you can tell they are keeping the water level lower than they used to.
