It worked for me here is a direct link in case it helps. I tested the link in "preview" mode and the link worked, so if neither works for you it may be a communication issue with your system to a https://issuu dot com site. Nice catalog / decoy pictures! Scott

Can we get off this topic please? Saturday I lost my first decoy of this century, an Italian plastic hen eider. I think it was on her first swim of this century too. Anyway, now I flinch every time someone posts to this thread, expecting I've made someone's day. D-oh! Scott

Just a word of caution on the zip tie method. To work properly you have to apply the force at a more vertical angle than the anchor shank. In a small craft applying this much vertical force is tough with small outboards and will pull down on the boat significantly. A friend borrowed my...

A commercial version of the re-bar anchor - wicked expensive but: link thingy First time I saw these, was a welded up homemade version in Cozumel diving. The tines would straighten out when yanked out under reverse. A length of pipe was then used to bend the re-bar back into shape on deck...

"Imagine wandering down the shoreline through the hardstem bullrush beds and finding a Bob Furia cork decoy bobbing around in the line of flotsam!" What a hellish thought! Knowing you should give it back, but knowing deep in your heart you want to keep it. I'm sure glad it will never happen...

Steve, No, no indication at all. I hope you had more action there than we did. Scott

Carl, This last St I got the pleasure of hunting over Drake while he was being handed over from Wendell to Dave. I've been planing on writing the hunt up but I'll share the crew shot now. Unfortunately it was a wicked slow day with only a couple of buffies to show for it. Dave was to have...

Paul, Thanks for sharing your story. I suspect it still makes you squirm to think about it. Best, Scott

Greg, The brant are hit or miss for quality. Like all my late season coastal divers and sea ducks, they become poppers, heavily marinated, wrapped in bacon and cooked over charcoal. I think shoe leather would be good cooked that way. With respect to they're trying to start the Jeep, I...

I met Dave Morton at 4:45 AM, 2+ hrs. before daybreak, 2 hours since I pissed off the blk dog by leaving him home. After launching his home built duckboat, and loading four bags of hand carved decoys and the rest of my gear on board we headed out onto the open Narragansett Bay. For the last...

Eric with friends like you, who needs .....? On a much more serious note: back in the last century, my Benelli came with a bottle of choke tube lube that looks identical to a nickel based anti-seize. If i ever finish that bottle, I will simply reload it with anti-seize. Scott

Am I the only guy who hates the pinned oarlock design? Using pinned oarlocks reduce the oarsman's flexibility - Hand position to make up for different shoulder widths, in ability to feather the oars and the hole through the oar is right at the highest stressed point on the oar. The pin...

Not to buck a trend but I'd recommend Loctite 242 on those threads. It should keep the rust out and prevent the nut from backing off. This is a blue removable thread locker not the red series, which are fairly permanent in small threads (under 3/4"). Scott

Mark, Similar thing happened to me with a Benelli 20 ga. I didn't find my pin and when I called H&K who were importing the Benellis back then the guy I talked to told me I would need the retainer tube and d-rings too. That I would most likely find that the tube through the trigger group...

Chuck, since you've already donated a canvas block (thank you), I'm voting for: Darin Clark Canvasback Chris' Drake Mallard

As a dad w/ grown up kids I strongly recommend you leave your gun home and spend the morning/day taking advantage of the youth training day. It's a special time, getting to hunt the duck marsh before it's shot up with little to no competition. Focus on your kid, and not your desire to kill...

I can't find the name of it but Lou Tish recommends a flared brass toilet fitting that works great. I used one for my Great Bay float. When I'm back in the office Friday I'll see if I can dig up the details.

A couple of more shots from the DHBP history pages. Bill Wasson's float at a NH Ducker's Day over a decade ago being checked out by Charlie and his dad Paul. Damn if I can remember names, hopefully someone can help out. This was taken at the 2001 Lobsterfest, this is a good shot on the...

In the hope that these photos help: My Merry Meeting: The Great Bay: And an original Whitney - not mine

I bought mine today at a local post office that has them every year. The clerk asked if the season was getting close? I was his second customer today and he'd had them "all summer" without any previous sales. I said, "sure is, Thursday is our opener for geese". Good luck finding them guys...
