Headhunter Outdoors Report 1-15-08

January 15th, 2008 by Gillwetter Press

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report.

Well the fishing is terrible and the ducks are few and far between. Some hardcore folks are catching a few Reds in the surf and inlets but the majority off the fish are not biting. If you just have to go though I would try up in the backs of the creeks. I’ve heard of some nice Trout in Kings creek and Turkey creek. Just remember that they are real shallow and you may not be able to get in and out without a jon-boat and then you may have to walk it a little way to get to the deeper water back in the creek. Nobody is going outside now so the reports are zip on that. Folks it’s cold and ain’t nothing much is going to happen till the water temps reach around 60 degrees. That’s just the plain facts ya’ll!

On the hunting side, there are a few birds around but not many. It just ain’t gotten cold enough to push a bunch of birds down here yet. We can always hope for cold weather up north. Some Bluebills or Scaup are around and some Buffleheads too. You can always count a Merganser to drop into the decoys and maybe an occasional Black duck or Mallard. Its still slow hunting these days folks. I took one of my buddies from Virginia hunting a couple of days and we saw birds but they were heading somewhere besides where we were set up. We did get a drake and hen Bluebill and shot a lot of shells. Hey we wanted to keep them on their toes! We really like to call those misses warning shots. Then again it might be defective shotgun shells. Huh! Any of you folks having that problem too. I can’t believe that I missed those birds. Well thats about all I can ramble on about so you folks be safe and take a kid with you. If they can walk they are old enough to go with you! Till next week folks I hope your decoys are full of birds.
