    Usually like shit, I get most of mine stalking stock ponds a bit later in the day. I think it would shoot better if we had bad weather, it's way inland and the ducks head in the opposite direction out to sea

    Went down and put out the decoys, slight change to the mai mai to make it bit more user friendly for the boys opening.
    I know the neighbour's were out putting out the decoys before i got to my pond tonight but freak some ducks came off. Pity the weather is looking hot and still

    Yeah as you can see from the photos of my spot there isn't a ripple to be seen and the forecast is for 20 degrees, I mainly get parries flying around but I do get some mallards with the biggest mob so far around 6-8. It is a lovely spot to be for the day so even if there are no ducks it's still a great day out.
