    Looking for a new boat

    Looking for a new boat

    Flip over shelters for me. ONe for solo fishing, one for fishing with a buddy. After this weekend go check out the Clam page. They are showing their new items this weekend at the Ice Fishing show. Will be curios what you think of their new idea.

    This I understand all too well. Some days I am up for a battle and many days I am not. Medicare screwed up a $180 claim and I don't know if I have the energy nor time to try and get that back. Yes, it can be a PITA. Spent days with TMobile over many mistakes they made on our account. Was...

    Looking for a new boat

    I have some medical issues that might make it harder for me than you? I have a kayak cart. More than one actually. To get the boat out of the bed I have to get it out and then assemble the kayak cart. I then have to get the Hoefgen on the cart solo which is a pain. Then have to strap it...

    There is good and bad everywhere. I have found local dck hunting FB pages that have zero ads and spam. Quite a few. Those that have constant ads and other crap I just don't visit. I'm not missing much. As far as being scammed, let your credit card company handle it. If they say they can't...

    Looking for a new boat

    Spot on. My issue is that 65 lbs is alot for a 66 year old. Sure, I could make it work with a lot of effort. I'm beyond a lot of effort. I have the 22 lb kayak that I can take anywhere. Issue is I don't want to paddle this a couple of miles or more nor use on realy windy days when waves are...

    Looking for a new boat

    I have found several boats that are 45 lbs or lighter. Was hoping someone here has experience with what I'm looking for? I have tried various methods of loading the Hoefgen into the truck bed. I have tried more than one method of getting the boat from the truck to the water. Nothing works...

    Looking for a new boat

    Thanks - I looked at the Nova Craft and they do have canoes that are lightweight. I am looking for a square back as I do plan to hand my mini mud motor of the end to power it. I've seen some double enders with modified motor side mounts and while they work for electric motors and small...

    I found where my boats leaking!

    I liked the GFlex I used because it came out kind of thick and then I hit it with a heat gun and flowed right into the leaking areas. Worked greeat around rivets. I have used this on my 14' lund, an old alumnacraft Ducker I restored and most recently my Lund Ducker. Never and issue. Nice...

    Looking for a new boat

    One of my duckboats is just getting too heavy for me. I have a fiberglass Hoefgen that weighs in around 65lbs. For me to load it in to the pick up bed, get it out, drag it to the water and repeat after the hunt is just too much. I love everything about it. 15' is a perfect length. I love the...

    Mice, not duck related

    Someone on here will have a suggestion. We have mice at our house. They are not inside but outside and all around our AC condensor. I have seen them and have trapped many. I know there are more. I have been using the typical spring loaded traps with peanut butter as the "incentive". Has...
