The Essex Hunter Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) With the wildfowling season slipping away, any chance to get out is always good. Like all working dogs the second the shooting kit is going on then the faster the tail goes..... As we were shooting the ebb tide the hour and half early we gave ourselves produced some good info on what a tide of this height would do.... A shot clip waiting for the tide to drop http://youtu.be/WWsdi2wS2VM Bright sunshine was not ideal, however I did manage to slide down to the shore line and launch a rig with 3 teal on, then retreat to my muddy pit.... First teal came in after 5 mins falling out around 15 yards belly up, with out the slightest hesitation Chip run along the shore line, swam out and hustled back. His neoprene coat has still not turned up so I pegged him down and slung my coat over him. The second landed out around 30 yards and was drifting to the edge of a cove so I left it to pick at the finish. The third was a nice long shot, with a 40 yard retrieve across the salting's. My shooting partner only faired one teal but it rounded off making a tally of 2 brace. Needless to say the dog had plenty of fun like us....he is all cleaned up, fed and fast asleep!!
