ayano3 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I was once a regular there Lister but have not been for quite a few years but must give it a go again. Didnt go today, but went to Sheps for some dog training instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister1 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I went and had one round but more importantly paid my years wildfowling membership. I shot ok but missed some I should have hit. I took my abs out for a bash, I haven't shot it in anger in over a year. It's a good laugh shooting there. How did the dog training go?

ayano3 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Oh the dog training was fine. She's already fully trained but I still take her out with dummy's to keep her on the ball. Its good practice for her on the marsh as its difficult finding things out there in the long grasses etc. I remember when I shot at Kirton, if you had a good stand the next one would always guarantee you didnt shoot a straight as you would find three clays coming from a double trap in different direstions That reminds me. Must get my subs paid soon Edited May 20, 2012 by ayano3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoggy Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I was once a regular there Lister but have not been for quite a few years but must give it a go again. Didnt go today, but went to Sheps for some dog training instead Blimey, I haven`t shot Sheps for about 20 yrs!!![i used to be a member of Spalding Wildfowlers]. Have some really fond memories of shooting that place. Sheps was my first experience of coastal wildfowling. Great times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoggy Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 This is my first year wildfowling, I'm really looking forward to it. Trying to get some overtime in to fund a semiauto. Good luck mate, I`m sure you`ll enjoy every minute of it. Its a completely different ball game to inland fowling. My only advice is make sure you study the terrain and especially the tide tables. Years back myself and a friend had to help a bloke and his dog off with the aid of a torch. He was stuck between creeks and the tide was coming in FAST!!. Luckily both he and his dog made it back to safety but the whole experience shook him up. Its just common sense really. Being on the forshore both at dawn and dusk is a magical experience. Let me know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have witnessed more than a couple of people who have gone out and cant get back. One such guy was from away and had the offer to come out with me so I could get him a few shots but he decided to decline my offer and do his own thing. A hour or so later I could hear a commotion on the marsh and when arriving back in the car park I had great pleasure in watching this rather large guy waddling back with everything soaked through and waders squelching with every step....he decided it was a great idea to cross Mallard Creek without checking the tide tables, honestly I didn't laugh much :blush: Apparently he had to strip off the outer layer and swim for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister1 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I plan to do plenty of research. I was thinking of getting a tide book and comparing it to reality, I know weather can affect tide times. Washwildfowler on here is also a member and said he will help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 There is a few good Fowler's who don't mind passing on a few tips and their knowledge as long as you are prepared to take it on-board Lister. I plan to do plenty of research. I was thinking of getting a tide book and comparing it to reality, I know weather can affect tide times.

harrycatcat1 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think your club will provide you with a Tide Table book Remember it's only a guide. Nip off to Boston to WH Smiths and get "Boston (Dock Sill) 2012 Tide Tables" or pm Washwildfowler and if you ask him nicely he might get you some they are about £1.50 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
