Cutter's Choice In The Drift

Fishing Scene

Capt. Doug put in a hard grind with Karrel L. and guests from NM over the weekend. The catching was off the charts but the keeping left a little to be desired. The trip crested in a crescendo of Trout action with Redfish to 27" coming to hand today. It was pretty raw out there and we're definately heading toward Winter "Low and slow" patterns.

Duck Hunting

Mornings seem to be outpacing afternoon action presently and the amount of birds and location options are "cutters choice". We've surely been waiting 8 years or so to see the unparalleled concentrations of ducks that we are currently holding. It's been awhile since I've seen it like this, not that the hunting over the years hasn't been exceptional with a lot of hard work. However, seeing the horizon turn black with ducks is something not witnessed since the late 90's.

While the hours are long and the list of things on the agenda are endless, the amount of brain crunching on location and eventual outcome are not that "white-knuckle". With birds as widespread as they are, there seems to be a new "spirit of cooperation" among local professionals and that's very welcome. It's only fitting when there is such a serious concentration of top quality watermen here.

We're fighting through to Christmas Day and gunning straight through to Christmas Eve. Then when we will "meltdown" for a few days and crank back up on the 28th. Timing of the holidays being on the weekends finds us real thin on shooters New Years weekend. If you'd like to join us, please contact us immediately.

We hope you have a great week, come see us!
