Welcome to another 10 minute Tuesday.

0:01.9

Joey and I are here.

0:02.9

We're going to give you guys some water hunting tips to start your year.

0:06.6

So we're focused on probably more water around our area.

0:11.0

So not a lot of timber tips in here for you.

0:13.7

But one of the things that I think is super important when you go out on water is finding a good spot.

0:18.8

One of my favorite things to do is to try to find a point, either on an island or on the

0:23.8

outside of the lake, and even in a pond, because what you have is you have a couple of

0:29.4

different options, so you can hunt the point, or you could hunt in a bay that's going to be

0:33.7

a little more protected, and it's going to just depend on your wind, kind of the conditions, and I don't know, I think that's a really good spot.

0:40.7

1:05.4

see ducks feeding in the white caps unless it's like divers. But even then, they will find a point to where they're somewhat

1:11.9

protected from the wind. Yeah, they'll be like right on the edge of where it gets shitty. Right. And I think

1:16.4

that's why point hunting is so awesome is because you have wind, but at the same time, you have some

1:22.0

protection. Yep. And if you need more or you need to adjust based on that, you can just curl back to the

1:27.8

inside a little more or shoot out to the front a little bit more. It gives you a lot of options,

1:32.0

especially like Joey said with the wind. Well, and the thing that was so confusing to me because

1:35.9

I was dumb when I started water hunting by myself is, okay, you want to go hunting and win because
