    A great start 2014

    I've been duck hunting for 37 years now, and I have yet to take a Bull. I grew up listening to stories from my grandfather, and uncles about Cans that rode down from Canada on the winds of winters might on the upper Mississippi. Driving rain followed by stinging freezing rain, and blinding snow...

    Mmmmm, Mmmmm Good!

    My bride surprised me at the dinner table tonight. I was expecting Sloppy Joe's, but the kids talked her into our favorite.......... Mallard in Blackberry Zinfandel sauce, Minnesota grown Wild rice with apple and cherries, and Broccolini. Oh, I almost forgot! Great Grandma's Place mats. Not...

    Gents, I have been meaning to get these photos posted of my electrical install, and I have finally found the time to get it done. I decided to run LED Nav and Stern Lights and since these lights are such a low draw, I was able to get away with using a very light weight battery from my local ACE...

    Columbia River Black Jack!

    It was a 0315 wake up for myself and and my two neighbors, Tim and Dave, so that we could make the river in time for a proper set up. Our intention was to hit the puddlers today, but being Wednesday, there was only one other boat of hunters in our area of the river. After the first hour of...

    Best Day of this year's season

    Shermie, It looks like the two of you had a great day too! During the drive home from our hunt, I asked my daughter what she thought of her day of "Duck Hookey." She asked what Hookey was and I explained it to her. She pondered my explanation for a bit , and asked if she could tell the truth...

    Best Day of this year's season

    Gents, Today I had the pleasure of having my 8 year old daughter hit the water with me for her first time out hunting. We had a tremendous time of it even though I only fired one shot. She is completely hooked, and wants to skip school tomorrow too. She is begging me to take her down to the...

    What's on your walls? (let's see your mounts)

    I got him on the Strait of Juan De Fuca at the mouth of Sequim Bay here in WA. Ask luck would have it that day. The fellow I was hunting with also shot a beautiful Harley Drake that had two bands on him. WA. now restricts hunters to one a season. I intended to make it my first Duck with me new...

    Gents, I have finally found a bit of time to get to the boat. I spent the day fabricating a transom braces for the motor mount. I just couldn't accept a 15 Hp motor for my TDB. I ended up with a Suzuki 20 Hp four stroke. It weighs in at 97lbs and it should be a good compromise between weight...

    Hi Guys, Thanks for all of your suggestions. I too have read about the possibly / issues of torque and a larger than rated outboard. When the original owner replaced the motor mount, he added a 1/4" thick plate of aluminum that extends over the top of the mount. If you look closely at the...

    Hello Gentlemen, I am a long time reader, and I have enjoyed the ability to use the content of your posts to pursue my passion of bringing fine fair to our table. I just had to post a few photos of my "New," to me 14" TDB Classic. I'm in Washington State, and we don't see many of the classic...
