Relocated to a Plan B field and managed 6 for today. The best part about this little shoot was me getting the chance to work my new pup "WING". It's difficult to get young dogs to retrieve doves especially for their first birds. Doves don't have much scent trail and they have loose feathers that stick to a dogs mouth but despite all this my lil pup retrieved all 6 doves. Now needless to say I am a proud PAPA right now.
I'll be back at it tomorrow.

I spent the first 2 hours of LST today staring at birdless skies at a spot that 1 week ago had great potential. I packed up and headed home to try another location this afternoon.

Good Luck to all, remember try to find some shade and bring lots of cold water for the dogs.
Things look look like it might be a bit slow around here.

Things were looking really good till Monday when some really big storms blew through the area. The dove population disappeared over night, still plenty around but not near what it was. I am willing to guess that Willow Slough, Kankakee, Kingsbury and Winamac were effected by this storm.

Older Chrysler products such as Ramchargers had a rubber pop-in plug.

Can you purchase a replacement differential cover with a built in fill plug?

After not seeing the Vultures for a couple of days I went out on the back deck yesterday evening and HOLY crap it was like a scene from an ALFRED HITCHCOCK film.
This time there had to be between 60-70 of them as I started shooting into the air. They kept trying to return until dark.
This morning is quiet.

There were several charter boats working the area SW of the south break wall the other day.
Our Captain said they had been catching Coho and Skamania in that area.
Most of the fisherman were on that wall.

If you would have taken better care of the differential like maybe checking the gear lube more than once a decade it might not have rusted shut.
What year is this and what kind of truck is it??

OK... my count was a tad bit off because this morning there were about 30 until I shot a few rounds up through the trees. That spooked them off.

roosting in the woods behind my home.
The Vultures arrive every afternoon at about 4:00pm and spend the night in the trees.
Other than crapping all over everything they have been no problem but my wife thinks it's about time they move along.

Ludington has been on fire this fall with numerous Kings in the 30 pound+ category but since our group has lost our connection with that area we are no longer fishing up there.
We now fish out of St Joe Michigan aboard the "IN THE BOX" charter. We were scheduled to fish last Monday and Tuesday but Mother Nature had different plans with 5'-8' waves over those 2 days. As a last minute idea we were able to get a charter for today so Schall53,me and our good fishing buddy Bruce met at the dock this morning under a star studded sky and calm winds.
We ran out to 95 feet of water and started setting up and as fast a we could get the center rigger rod set it went off twice and both time we landed Lake Trout. The Trout action was so good we had our limit of 12 Lakers by 8:30 with one of them being around 13 pounds. Once we limited on trout we focused on Kings and Bruce caught a nice double digit fish.
We also lost a couple just because they came unbuttoned.
All in all we had a great morning of fishing to close out our Lake Michigan trips for the year.

The Bass-Pro store in Portage has gone down hill a lot. They don't any ATV'S or BOATS out front around the store, the store itself is filthy and the aquarium is nothing but average bass and a few other small fish.
