September is one of the most magical times to take a sunset cruise on America’s lakes. The air is cooler, the crowds have thinned, and the skies paint breathtaking colors as summer fades into fall.
After setting up on the river this morning and not having any luck on honkers we hit a field tonight to see if our luck would change. As luck would have it it did. 2 guys 4 shots 4 birds. Love it when they are back winging in the spread. Nice sunset as we were picking up decoys.
Hopefully there's more flying close to sunset, but I'm worried. A field that had probably 100 geese in it with plenty more in the area on Wednesday was a ghost field last night; didn't see a single feather.
I do my best typically right before or right after sunset with crankbaits. If I'm fishing mid day I look for either a deep hole, or brush piles to provide some shade.
