I gotta share the lowdown on this game-changer for all my fellow Maryland waterfowlers. You know how we’re always on the lookout for the next trick to up our decoy game? Well, enter the MOJO Outdoors Wood Duck Spinning Wing Decoys – they’re a real game-changer.

First things first, these bad boys look so dang realistic, it’s like Mother Nature herself handcrafted them. The attention to detail is spot-on, from the feather patterns to the lifelike colors. 

Now, here’s the real kicker – the motion. These decoys got a subtle, natural movement that gets their attention. Even the wariest wood ducks think they stumbled upon a party. Easy to set up, durable as heck, and they brought more wood ducks into my spread than ever before. If you’re serious about bagging more woodies in the Old Line State, add a MOJO spinning wing decoy to your spread – you won’t be disappointed.

Before the lines could even get tight we had four fish hooked up.

The first tuna in the boat was one of the larger fish of the day. The second reel was giving up line to the fish when all of a sudden it went slack. “Shark,” the mate yelled, as the line came back cleanly cut by shark that dined on our catch. We put a second fish in the box and through back a small

As the sun started to burn off the early morning haze, the bite was not as intense. Here and there we picked up a fish and then lost one to a shark. The roll of the 6 to 8 foot swells kept us off our feet all day and we ran out of time before we ran out of bait.
