fenboy Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I managed my first flight for around 3 weeks this morning , been a bit rough with one thing or another the last couple of weeks so it was good to get out at last. I loaded the car and headed off to the wash. Things got off to a bad start when I got my chestwaders from the back of the car to find that my lab had decided to eat a large hole in them on the journey At least it was well up a leg so I managed to avoid a wet foot , the dog must have made 40 trips with my waders in the back this year and has never touched them before . High tide was at 6am and with the creeks full on my walk down I was surprised that there were several duck already on the main creek as I walked down , even if the gun had not been in the slip it would have been to dark to get a shot though. I sat having a cuppa waiting for it to light and could hear a few widgeon and some teal buzzed over my head . As day started to break I got my first chance when a widgeon came down the creek nice and low , it flared up as I raised the gun but was not quick enough and crumpled to my first shot, the dog had seen it drop and was soon back after a short swim. I missed a few chances at shots at teal that always seemed to come from the opposite direction I was looking , but eventually I caught one out that flew low across the front of me , I dropped it on the mud at the far edge of the creek so again a simple retrieve for the dog. So great to get out and two for two , but I need a new pair of waders ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Sounds as though you had a nice little flight. Pity about the waders. If you are after a new pair I got some cheapish DIWA ones a few years ago and they are still going strong.

Yes I will certainly need some new ones , these have been very good so will order another pair the same , I have a pair of neoprene ones I can use in the meantime .
