Hay Hoo Mr.Curry, That’s a thumps up read for our local area. 3 Honkers were sighted going north over the tribal housing area on Monday. I ment to walk over to Catfish Bay(now yesterday)and see if our 50 or so Redheads were back in but I was too busy. I checked on Tuesday(11a.m.) and still no sign. C.B. was real busy over the past wknd., I’m gonna check this a.m..Just got done stringin’ some dekes. I can’t sleep, I’m just too darn excited and my huntin pals are too!!! May the Snow Gods Pile it on 10 feet or more from Reno to the Boreal Forests this Winter!!! Son Rio and my “adopted” son Jared(D.U. Greeenwings)and I should be greeting you “out there” soon. Now let’s all get out there and get some feathers!!! The Chemehuevi Rez Waterfowl Boys

Anthony,
We hunted CRIT Sat & Sun for 1 duck between 4 hunters…very poor…Goose opens there Oct 23.. didn’t see any geese though!
saw some ringnecks , redheads & a few pintail, but you can’t take any pintail this year per the CRIT regs. try their website for more info / maps

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 50-60 Degrees
Never made it up to scout the Virgin river decided to go further north and hunt Sunnyside for Nevada openers. Lots of birds shot a limit the first day, sounded like a war zone for the first two hours. Second day 30mph + winds birds piled up in the middle of the open water, only shot 3 birds. Hopefully we pushed all the birds down south towards us. Going to try CRIT sunday but don’t know where to go, nobody is willing to give up any spots. When does goose open in CRIT?

Rustyduck,
Saw the same flock Canadians down by Havasu Springs on the Bill WIlliams River last week!!!!!!!
As for scouting the the River in Havasu and Topock, I have seen a lots of divers and a good few size flock of widgens, over the past few weeks. A lot more local Green Heads than in the past, We really had a good hatch this year. (I think the brids know that ELNINO is back.)The temps are still in the upper 90’s to low 100’s, but the weather is cooling off up north and the water temps have dropped some 10 to 12 degrees in the River (WINTER IS COMING), and season opens real SOON.
Good Hunting and see u in the marsh.

Catfish Bay, Havasu N.W.R. 10-08-2004 16:00
Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
Hey Hoo All waterfowler.com’ers, I’m real excited to report that 25 big Canada Honkers flew over our house,located near Catfish Bay, at 11:30am today!!! In talking to my cuzin in law, she saw them on the water whie fishing near Havasu Landing Resort on Wednesday. They were heading back north towards Castle Rock and hopefully my Son Rio and I will get a crack at them opening wknd..As for our season past, it was great. January ’04 was the best hunting I ever experienced here in 24 years!!! Memories of old glory days were rekindled with lots of Drake G.W.Teal and Greenheads!!! A final wknd. season tally of 14 ducks and that final friday, I harvested my first limit day of the season. Most important to me, I shared most of these thrilling times with my Son Rio. With one Ross’s, One Honker, and 65 ducks, we were very blessed by God, my father Chris Sandate, and my Dear Hunting Pals up in the “Great Marsh In The Sky”. May this Waterfowl season be a safe and fruitful one for you all!!! P.S. Rio and I are dedicating this season to the memory of our dear and good hearted(5 Mile Landing Rusty) friend’s yellow Lab “Doc”, who went to that “Great Marsh in the Sky” this past spring. A great retriever that we miss too much, Doc’s memories will endure all the rest of our hunting days ahead!!!
