Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 35-40 Degrees
Thought we would see more ducks with the recent cold weather and a front coming in yesterday, but we only saw a few distant flocks that wanted to land on the mud flats. Did see some decent flocks of snows on the way home thru the Mullica Hill area. Hopefully this weekend will be better.

Greetings from the flatlands down Jersey. With the warn weather Saturday had Woodies still buzzing about. Was a good day Two drake woodies, two green heads, a drake sprig, a GWteal and a pair of Canadas.
Tonight snows, snows and more snows flying just above the trees at sundown … still flying; added a dozen snow floaters to the rig or tomorrow.
Have a good thanksgiving … just love the ice, even if its only skim ice

11/12 ” ” – broadbill, mallard, buffy.
the beginning of the week was very slow for ducks, but once that front pushed in on wed. we were watching alot of ducks move into the area. all the gunners ive talked to had a pretty good week too. seems to be a good amount of brant on all the bays.
scouted the mullica river yesterday and saw absolutly NOTHING!! went from green bank to lower bank and everywhere in between an put up no ducks, that place used to hold so many birds. some colder weather coming so it will fell like duck season soon… good luck out there!

Jump hunted the area today looking for Blacks. Kicked up plenty and missed a 20 yard shot at one. Ducks were very wary today and even a belly crawl could not get me close to most. How do they know I am there when they can’t possible see me. A few Brant flocks. Anyway good to be out hunting, thanks veterns for your service. After 6 hours of in and out of Tuckerton mud I am beat and my left thigh is killing me.
Checked out the federal land. No divers a few balcks

Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – Over 70 Degrees
Greetings from the flatlands down Jersey. Went north to Manahawkin Bay for the Coastal opener. Some brant moving and few ducks. It was a nice 70 degrees. I should have brought a fishing pole, we had snappers jumping in the stools and an occasional 2’ swirl. Was good to get out in a new location … TU VK for the invite. Was a typical brant-black-bufflehead day. Quite a few flocks of Canadas traveling the river lately out Griscom Swamp. They have been roosting the meadows by the old sunshine park and traveling up river an hour after light. Few GWteal and local big ducks … need some weather up north. At this rate it looks like it will be Christmas before gunning is worth hauling the rig.

Several black ducks seen, nothing spectacular. I couldn’t go far into the marsh, high wind, and canoe. Missed 2 decoying ducks (poor shooting), missed a big greenhead (safety didn’t pass all the way). Saw about 2 dozen sporatic teal after shooting light.
