P.S. On Saturday there were endless strings of lesser honkers heading south and flying very high... probably from Hudsons Bay... what a great start to autumn to hear that noise all day and look up and see 50-100 birds in a V!!

Wild Thing, I will second that! Had My Brother's Brother in law with us. He had never witnessed any thing like that. It was awesome. I look at those bigs flocks and can't help but wonder, where their coming from and where are they headed.

Just got back today. I didn't get much fishing in as the wind started to howl making boat control fun (not!). Today would've been a good day to be on the water.

My buddies hunted and got 12 geese, and 31 ducks (between 3 people). I seem to remember a couple of woodies, a bunch of mallards, teal, and I'm sure a couple of others I don't know.

I think this thread has been hijacked!!

You're right.... Sorry for hijaking the post! I get carried away this time of year...

I wish they ran this HSOforum by geographic area rather than subject matter. I have no interest in hunting geese at Rochester or Twin Cities so I don't read the waterfowl post but I do think several folks could share info somewhere on hunting in Morson area.

I also wish we could get some sub-areas under Canada so we didn't have to wade through stuff we don't care about...

Anyhow... if I hear of any fishing reports I'll post them but I pledge not to post hunting stuff here any more unless someone asks.

Back in December with ice fishing reports!!

Be safe out there. I'm back up in 6 days...

I'll be interested to hear those early season ice reports. My buddy just got his cabin to where we can go up now and now freeze to death. We're both looking forwardt o Lsker's through the ice and getting some walleyes, finally.

Just post to the thread with a hunting title for hunting info in Morson.

Finally got a fishing report . . .

Friday: Somewhat of a cold, ugly, windy day. Went east by Blueberry. Caught some bonus crappie, some small walleyes and some perch. Nothing to write home about.

Saturday. Skies cleared SW "breeze" changing to the west probably 10-20mph. Started at Blueberry again. Much better luck. Caught four nice 17-19" walleyes in 16-20'. Also lost two nice big fish on jigs and there were quit a few 10-14 inchers. Caught them on jig & minnow and trolling spinners. After lunch, tried two spots with no luck - one was a channel with weeds on one side and rock on the other going from 20' to 12'. Then went up to the area between Rabbit and Burrws area and hit some nice 17-19". Trolled spinners from 12-30'.

It wasn't fast and furious, but steady fall action. I wanted to get up to Miles and Obabikon, but the darn fish got in the way. Lost some nice mid-20's fish but caught nice mid-range fish. Got excellent minnows from BV.

Would have been a perfect weekend if the ducks would have cooperated. We scouted for ducks Friday and did not see a lot flying. Went out Saturday morning and it was very slow.

Fishing was good caught our limit of both Walleyes and Crappies in Obiabikon on Saturday. Crappies were not as big as in past years maybe they will get bigger as we get later into fall. Went up to Miles Bay Sunday it appeared Crappies were biting up their as well. We could only manage to catch small Walleyes and Saugers 10-12 inchers.

Will be heading up the first weekend in October hopefully the duck hunting will be better.

There is absolutely no problem with other reports such as ducks, geese, grouse, big game, you name it. Just put it in the geographically correct forum with the appropriate title, that's it. I just believe there were some hunting reports in a post titled "Morson Fall Fishing Report" (which has been an excellent thread, btw)

If you have hunting reports, let's hear them! I know the "Canada" forum is very geographically large, but title your posts accordingly and the traffic on that post will come accordingly.

Shorelunch, I haven't forgotten about you either, as far as the Loomis goes. I just haven't had a chance to get it to the right people. We might just have to meet on the lake someday!?

Drop me an email and we can hopefully coordinate something. My appologies.

[Shorelunch]

No problem Hemlock. I hope to get back up there in October, otherwise let me know if you or someone you know plans to head through Bemidji.

Regarding waterfowl. I saw quite a few honkers and a few teal/mallards in the back bays and heard some gun shots. However, I asked a few parties coming after the water how they did and they said they didn't fare to well.

Crappies are going nuts in two of the usual spots. This from the U.S. customs/border people who ask questions like "where did you get those fish?''
