Waterfowl are migrating to Central-Eastern Washington daily. New Geese are being reported from Odessa to Vantage and many reports from the Moses Lake and Othello Area. Waterfowl hunting on Potholes Reservoir has been improving daily the last week. The birds in the area are very decoy responsive and there are reports of nice groups of mallards. Foggy conditions have made it more challenging but days with wind are producing ducks and an above average of geese as well.

On our Duck Taxi hunts we have been seeing both resident ducks and some new birds in the area. On field hunts we have harvested lots of Canadian Geese, Snow Geese, and a few Cackler Geese. To check out some hunting packages and specials please visit the website at www.ducktaxi.com and click on the 2013/2014 specials tab.

Walleye anglers using Blade Baits in the 12 feet to 60 feet of water are cashing in on our excellent walleye bite. Most of the Blade Bait fish are 20 inches and smaller. Walleye up to 7lbs have been reported by boaters fishing the humps off the face of the sand dunes, the mouth of Frenchman's Wasteway, and the North-East side of Goose Island.

Don't forget we have free dock fishing every Friday until Spring-time. You still have to come into the store and get your free dock pass and car pass and you can fish until dark every Friday evening. The dock is still showing some nice Crappie, Perch, Bluegill, Trout and Bass and a few walleye are being reported.
