After putting in for a waterfowl permit I was lucky enough to get drawn for a hunt on the big blackwater river which is part of the Blackwater Refuge.  The only problem was I didn't make the time to do a scout before the hunt, and without a GPS ( Which I'll be getting Soon ) I knew better to go out in the dark. So after a breakfast stop I headed on down So I could get there around noon which would give me plenty of time to scout around, and take a few cast's.  The map they give you shows where the blind sites are, but without the GPS the sites aren't marked like I thought they would be.  So it ended up more like a scout & cast which was fine with me, because just being out there was pretty cool.  I did hear a bunch of ducks quacking back in the marsh, probably  some of the released mallards from the nearby RSA Private Clubs.  After scooting around one of the islands I did manage to pick up a nice 2lb bass on a sassy shad, but the ducks seemed to be sitting tight as it was a beautiful bluebird day, and not very ducky.   Around 4:00 the ducks did start moving around, but they were flying over high heading into the nearby flooded woods to kick back for the night. ( Mostly all woodies ). I did have a few big fat blacks fly right by me on the way in, and some geese started moving just after sunset, but no wild game to cook up this time, but like I said that's okay because it was cool just being out there. ( Maybe Next Time )

Things are really rough just north of us here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Us Delmarva folks still have some Bad Flooding with many Tree's down, but nothing like up in Jersey.  There are some who seem to be enjoying the flooded fields as these ducks come in for some easy grubbing. Not sure how this will affect the Waterfowl migration, we'll have to wait, and see what happens.. ( Good Luck to Everyone Dealing with the Affects of Sandy, and GOD BLESS)
