First phase in Florida was one of our best to date. We have been blasting em on a daily basis. On most hunts every angler has shot a limit or real damn close! The elongated summer has not produced much variety yet, mainly just Ringers, Teal and our local Whistling & Mottled ducks. We hope these next few cold fronts will produce a better variety for us Florida boys. If you are a saltwater hunter things are probably slow as the Red Heads, Blue Bills and Buffle Heads have not yet shown up in numbers. This year we may have to wait until the last few weeks of second phase to set up in the mangroves. Whack Em and stack em fells, its only gonna get better!
