NE winds 5-10, pt cloudy, low 70's
Saw no other boats in our morning travels, very few hunters out with the Friday opener. Heard few volleys to our distant east early but they soon fizzled. Did not see a teal until 8:00a when three came pretty for a nice pass out front that we fired on, and all got out. Saw no others. Will fired on and took a single a few hundred yards away from us, said he saw couple of other small groups but that was it. Fair bit of mottled duck and shore bird activity, just no birds. One other report we got from north of us was 1-bird hunt. Harry snoozed and loaded back in the boat just as dry as he started the morning.
SCRATCH
In any case, we're running Johnny's noodle lines in the camp canals this afternoon chasing blue catfish so things could be worse. We'll try em again in AM.
