Hi Jim,
Sounds like a great trip. I hunted with Capt. Todd a few years ago with my Dad. We hunted mid November and had a great time and I was able to take a great bull can. Todd was first class to hunt with. Does he still do the "Big Breakfast"?
I hunted with Chris Martin at Bay Flats a few years ago and had a great time. He runs a first class operation for sure. There were lots of redheads, widgeon and pintails around when we went in early January. The hunting was comfortable and the guides were easy going yet professional and hard...
Great shots of those pins! If you decide to try and get closer let me know and I can lend you a layout blind or coffin blind and a few full body pintails....just might be the trick.
Here's a quick picture that shows the new seat, the longer section is great for us bigger guys. Very comfortable... it measures 24" for reference in the photo. It also has stubble straps in the back to add some cover.
I agree 110% I bought mine near the end of the season last year and after using it a few times, wished I would have ordered one earlier. I just used it on Monday as the rest in my new to me 10ft aqua pod and it was very comfortable. The fact that it doesn't absord water is huge!
Hi John, sorry it took so long to post these. Some of the pics show the boat all dressed up and others show the space/config of the inside of the boat with the blind on, etc.
If you consider going as far as SD, you should really think about going to SK, MB or even Ontario. A group of us has been freelancing in SK and MB for 10 years now and it's a great trip. Great people who are very generous with access to land and helpful in a hundred different ways and the bird...
John, I hunt from a Lund SSV 18 both open water sea ducks/divers as well as puddle ducks and it works pretty well. If you're hunting somewhere that has cover you can put the boat in or against it and it works well. We have a blind on it that we brush heavily. The floors come out in the stern and...
Hi Dick-
Some great shots there for sure. Melissa and I got a few good mallard shots over the weekend as well. The highlight was finding a snowy owl up in Joppa, didn't get any great shots but it was fun just to see one reasonably close. We also saw a few gadwall and widgeon mixed in with...
Another NJ guide option to hunt from pit blinds is Kevin Popo. He's got some great pits and some real quality gunning for honkers and depending on the year snows as well. Have been down to hunt with him several times and always had a great time.
