Longlining into Lake Superior

[thusby]

Got out this weekend to throw out a couple lines in Lake Superior. This was my first time hunting on the Gitch and made for novel photos (Carrier in the background of the 1st photo). Only a handful of ducks post-snowstorm but can't wait to get back out there. I'm a huge fan of diver hunting and generally leave the puddle stuff for others.

Congrats!! I'd love to hunt divers on big water like that.

Nice pics. Glad you got one.

Hope they raft up out there for the next expedition. Might need to wait for the back bays to freeze.

Awesome! I miss chasing divers on Lake O, not many broadbills here in AZ

Do you guys see any seaducks or old squaw? I've always wanted to try layout hunting.

Yeah we see a half dozen long tails a year. Maybe kill one but they aren’t really in our flyway.

I think Erie and Ontario catch the brunt of the Great Lakes longtail flight. We’d see hundreds of them, even into ice out in the spring while we were fishing for browns we’d bumped a couple hundred

Divers are fun! It’s awesome to watch them fly that line right into your main spread.
