As European settlers pushed westward, much of the prairie was ploughed up and turned into agricultural land. The Duck Factory’s prairies are not only attractive to nesting waterfowl, they are also coveted for farming by humans. The potholes and a suitable margin of cover around them are vital to maintaining strong waterfowl populations. Breeding success in this area determines the abundance of ducks that filter down the flyways each fall and hopefully check out your decoys. This is a land of vast prairies, dotted with innumerable shallow ponds, or potholes. More than 80 percent of the continent’s waterfowl nesting habitat lies within the “Duck Factory”: North Dakota, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Since we are talking about a North American breeding duck population of some 40 million birds, this requires an awful lot of nesting habitat-both wetlands and prairies. In order to have a lot of ducks, we need places where the birds can nest and raise their broods. In order to have good duck hunting, we need a lot of ducks. This article, is about how a warming planet will affect ducks and duck hunting. 8 ft 6/0 Lemon Crank does work too but once again, you won't catch as many.Wait, don’t touch that dial! (as they used to say in the early days of radio.) If you are as tired as I am of arguments about climate change, be at ease. And when you find the sweet spot to cast to, you can get 2 a minute. Yes they cost extra for every fish you catch but I did a Pike only day and hit $29,000 cash so it more than pays for itself. 7/0 Hook with shiners is what most people use. Now that was only 8 catches in 3 hours of peak time, if you concider how many pike you catch in the same time floating with shiners then it shows how ineffective the lures really are here for pike. The only thing that have some moderate success for me is the big #6/0 spinner. Popper 4/0 : 2 catches ( lots of miss hits ) I did some more testing during another peak time: ( Almost exactly the same as EzFishLure's setup, just a different reel ) The problem is they don't bite on lures. The problem is not the gear, I have strong gear. If going for pike you dont need to cast far so this is an ok setup :D especialy combined with a kyak :D
