**Fishing Report – Flats Action Continues**

Lots of boat fishing trips on the flats have dominated the fishing theme of late with guests itching for action that’s burning up the drags! That’s been a pleasure with the Captain’s focusing on scattered schools tightening on big weather. We’re itching for some wade fishing artificial fishermen to start probing the “low and slow” Corky bite for some monster Trout. This is going to be an excellent Winter for that action, so give us a shout!

**Duck Hunting**

Limits shoots far and wide for guests and steady action over the blocks. Some of our hunts have been in some nice weather catalysts with action waning a bit on post cold front slick-offs. Plenty of birds working tight over the blocks with puddle ducks dominating straps. Capt. James Cunningham reported a 36 bird hammerfest on Saturday, not many Teal, mostly all big ducks.

Redheads are looking good and piling into the bays and back lakes on each passing cold front. We’re looking at Geese and Sandhills making there way in to the Central Flyway Wintering grounds as well.
