Title: Anyone ever fish while hunting?
Post by: Black Plague on November 04, 2009, 09:46:42 AM: I live in the Spokane area and have never really brought a pole with me when I go duck hunting, I have also thought about bringing a shotgun with me and just go fishing somewhere....maybe long lake for some perch or something...does anyone else do this....and it never fails, while that ice-fishing geese always fly over in shooting range...hhhmmm maybe two for one would be a good thing...or would I just be doing both poorly? ... :dunno:....I have heard of some guys cold weather cat-fishing off to the side of there dekes too ... ???

It was awesome, my pops caught the biggest sea-run I've ever seen in person on one of these trips and I got a banded Greenhead same day.

When we saw ducks ahead we would kill the motor (Regulation against hunting from motorized vehicle applies) and row towards them until they flushed. We would get more greenheads than our buddies on the same lake sitting over dekes!

I think the law says technically " no forward movement from the motor" meaning even after you turn it off, if you are still drifting because of the motor they may be able to get you... use your discretion.
