Having been someone that spent the first 20 years of his duck hunting career on big water, the switch to small venues seemed a little strange at first.
I will never forget my first experience with early season panfish on a lake that had super clear water. It changed the way I approached early season angling forever.
Hard water fish that aren’t located where you expected them to be can create some location issues. Sometimes, you just need to find an alternate location where the fish are biting.
Over the years, I have learned an important fact about pheasant hunting. One does not have to shoot a limit of birds to have a memorable and successful hunt.
Personally, I find small pond hunting to be quite entertaining. By utilizing kayaks and canoes as our means of transportation, we can get into some pretty tight places.
