Spaniel Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Think weather looks a bit to nice on Thurs, so maybe those geese will be out sun bathing for us Forgot to say thats the only marsh i dont take much notice of the tide times on, as i am either down in the ditch by the 1st bend or out on the splash,and last season we had more luck when the tide was low at dusk or dawn, wierd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireland's Finest! Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Dont think I'll be able to get out for another 2 weeks at least :( :( Make sure to put up some pictures of your bags lads, looking forward to them :shoot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I am off on holidays to Portugal for 2 weeks on the 1st Sept. However, I usually wait until the end of September as most of the birds haven't even properly feathered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big bad lindz Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Back from offshore yesterday and believe it or not the wife ( aka WFW wild fowling widow)suggested that we go down to the shore (only 5min away) for a look see what was about. glad we did cause a good number of greylags for so early in the season and also a lot of mallard, although some of the young dont look like they have got there wings for flying yet. The tide is not so good for where I am going the shore is flat with only small short gullys but I know it is the goose flight line so I intend to go down around 430ish and get myself set up. The WFW says that I will be in the spare room (second night back from offshore I think not) :o Good hunting to all who are daft enough to do it BBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poontang Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 All sorted and ready to roll here Meeting Markio at 4.30, then a short walk to the marsh. Seem to be a fair few geese around at the moment so plenty of big bangers in the belt. Fingers crossed. Full English in local pub afterwards. Good luck to everyone else going out this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 This is daft. I remember being thankful at the end of last season that i didn't have to get up so early at the weekend. Time flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
