Goose Decoys

Recommended Posts

Jegerjack, the only problem you will have is that the cardbaord will not stand up to the abuse and weather you may encounter while hunting. You would be better off using sub-flooring or other thin plywood. Yes they can work, but as the season moves on the geese will become selective when it comes to decoying. I used to use the plywood dekes as fillers in between the full bodies. Good luck. Flip

Has any one tried making home made goose decoys? I have a bunch of cardboard and I was going to make goose cutouts and then paint them. Has anyone tried this? Any luck using them?

Thanks, JegerJack.

My neighbor kids made their own cardboard decoys and used an airbrush to paint them.
They had real good success with them but they did have to do repairs every year or two.

      Are minnows available at the Y store?

      The only thing they would bite on last night was minnows for us. Reef fishing in 30’. Plenty of action, nothing real big.

      The Miss gets tough when the water is high and dirty.  Your entire range you’re considering can be good but I think right now you’re gonna need to fish tight to the bank in the eddys.  Or maybe the downstream ends of islands.  They probably won’t be in the main flow much.   I’ve been tempted to get out there myself but she looks like she needs to settle down a bit first.

      Yes I know, I am wondering about spots from St. Cloud and north, along the Mississippi, I am from Duluth and just thought I’d mention it

      Sorry I do not river fish much. I know the Mississippi near Baxter\Brainerd is good as the Linders fish it.  Good luck.

      This is a St Cloud forum check out something up near Duluth

      Anyone here willing to recommend a good launch or town to find some smalie’s next week on the big river? Looking for somewhere preferably closer to Duluth, I’ve fished rivers around here this week and only have a couple 14” fish to show for it and a few skunks  . Only place I’ve found fish up here is right up on creek mouths, nothing else seems to work, really muddy water. Will be fishing out of a shallow hull 14’ boat with a 15 hp tiller, looking at anywhere from Grand Rapids to St. Cloud and trying to narrow it down, pretty inexperienced smallie and river angler but I have some time off next week and wouldn’t mind spending another day on the water, and hopefully end up with some decent fish to show for it (will be released). Thanks for any input

      Well we will be arriving for the week tomorrow. Fishing mostly east end.  We will be hitting all of our favorite bobber spots.  Going to bring some jumbo leeches. Figure we will be getting smallmouth and walleye.  Staying in Daisy bay.  Is the water temp about 65?  Is there really any point of getting minnows?

      No unfortunately it was the other one in Richmond. I really like them, but this time I guess wasn’t their best.  I ordered the wire on Amazon today. Went to 5 places in St Cloud after work and no one had it.
