Ive been peppered on both Ray Roberts and Fork by the duck hunters... around here they shoot at ya before you get within 600 yards to let you know they are there and not to come any closer.

I fish choke weekly too and the biggest gators I have seen have all been in the 3/4 fingers area! You know what that means, they are big ones all over the lake!

Im not trying to start a fight with you. I am a ranch owner and hunter myself. I always show respect to people who are first to a spot and will usually just find my own spot, I like to be alone! However, I think that this was a different situation! These guys were trying to hunt off the tip of Greyhound point, this is like one of the top 5 fishing spots on the lake. There is plenty of other deep water further east on the shoreline, or you can go NW and find all of that shallow water which is still very accessible! At 10 am on a saturday you can not expect to duck hunt on main lake points and be alone.

Also, you are familiar with the lake and would never do this. As you know the dunk hunter pop has tripled do to the TV exposure. These are guys from across the state that dont even think about the fact that this is the biggest fishing lake in the state right now.

Another thing? How is it legal to hunt ducks around Choke but not anything else. Its all state park land. I dont understand this?

P.S. If someone were to intintially shoot at me with their shotgun, I would empty a clip of my .40 at them in a heartbeat. My .40 will pack more of a punch at 60 yds than a shotgun anyday. However, i would never do this unless being shot at first, but bring it on!

hey flippin i guess you have the right to do whatever you want since you fish that spot every week..duck hunters probably woke up 2hrs before daylight,hiked in 100lbs of gear and spent 40 min. to set there spread up..and i guess thats the only spot on the lake with fish...they were there first you should have stayed away..those shotgun shells can penetrate skin at 200 yrds..you are both outdoorsman,you should have given them thier respect

Choke Canyon is a public fishing lake, and I am a local resident and here I have these two guys telling me I cant fish the point that I fish every week. What really made me mad was that this was not some shallow back water duck hunting spot but a deep main lake point. This is a fishing spot!! Must of the duck hunters stick to the skinny back water ponds that nobody really fishes anyway! Plus it was already 10 am.

Agree 100%. They were there first. I guess if you were in a tournament you would have ended up shot! And for the guy that wants to see the dog get eaten by a gator..... shame. My best friend is my dog.
