Gordie Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 has any of you guys hunted the big water, I typically hunt it opening day of deer season not hardly any one out their. but the last couple of years it was way to nice and warm to hunt it besides not many ducks . I hunted deer those years and was wondering if anyone gave it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartell Angler Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I know a guy that hunted it a couple years back during ice up and couldn't keep the goldeneyes out of the dekes...Might hunt it this year but we'll have to see. Last year was horrid for divers in my areas but I did manage my first canvasback ever--man did it taste good! Best duck I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 hey sartell angler yea a couple years back maybe three it was almost impossible not to get a bill or goldeneye they were all over it was a blast 12 gauge style . I also (then) shot a can the last day of season. it was 25 years since the last one. I'm hoping for cold wheather early that lake can be awsome!

Riverratpete Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Years ago used to hunt right by the public access in Wahkon Bay, good shooting, haven't done it in years and not sure if you even could...I think you cold probably hunt out on them islands if you have access.
