Mike- This is a friend of mines operation and everyone that goes out with him has a blast and a lifetime of memories. RJ is a true character to hunt with that will keep you in stitches, a skilled huntsman and guide, a PHENONOMIAL Caller and always teaching !! has a Awesome dog (or you might be able to bring your own- check with RJ) and the boat ride itself is a "toatal kick in the arse" :lol:

.....He has done very well this year for quality ducks in the south bay near you. :wink:
Dan- Tell him that I don't target geeses specifically but if he wants to shoot geese I can scout for them in the bay or delta and give them a good opportunity to shoot some.

As far as the success rate it has been a great year with many hunts with limits! We;ve shot a few geese but never really set up to shoot them!

About the hunt- the boat we hunt from is a 17ft Lowe Jon with a 45 hp Mudmotor. We generally leave very early in the morning as we always are hunting public areas and I like to get a good spot! I primarily hunt the Delta and SF bay, if we do get some rain I may be hunting in a flooded area like the yolo bypass. Most the ducks we shoot are Mallards, but some days we do shoot a mix.

I bring coffee a light breakfast and sandwiches on request! The trip runs as long as you want, or untill limits ofcourse.

The trip runs $500 for two hunters, and if they like fishing and want to stay for the remainder of the day after shooting we can fish as well, just let me know in advance!

Please feel free to call me anytime with questions.
Thanks again-

Another operation I have heard great things about for Geese is Sundance- http://www.sundancehuntingclub.com/

You can also check in with Ben at FishDog for how the Geese are working. http://www.fishdogrodandgun.com/

Best wishes,
