In our area there are a few ramps managed by the Corp of Engineers. I don't use them often as they are less than ideal. No docks and they line the shore with large rocks so they are very difficult to use if you're a solo hunter/fisherman. They charge $5 a day or you can buy a season pass I...

It's going to get colder I hear. I remember that damp cold goes to the bone!

Wasn't meant to be this morning. Three nights in the teens and the ramps in my area are locked up with ice. The Mississippi River is basically a lake right now with very little flow so no thoughts of ice moving out. Time to clean things up and put them away for the season. I hope everyone that...

It reminds me of a place here in Iowa called Lake Odessa. In the late 60s I had the chance to hunt this lake and it was just like that. 20' boats with hard blinds and 115hp outboards. The birds came into the timber just like that. A lot of racing and swearing. The lake had staked areas allowing...

Sounds like a good season. Congrats. I saw a Woodie on the river yesterday. To far for a shot as I sat there thinking that bird didn't get the memo. No venison so far this year. The summer flood drove the deer off the islands for the most part. So far I've seen a doe with a fawn and a yearling...

Thanks Eric.

I thought I was going home too Dave. I backed the boat out onto the ice and broke through. Picked a close island. Had several good groups flying the snow and lucked out with these and headed back to the ramp before it froze back up. Hoping it gets a bit warmer by the end of the week to finish...

It's been a long hard season here. But finally the ponds are frozen and the ducks come back to the river!

I picked this up yesterday for a song for a shuttle boat. 12' Grumman Fisherman. I'm not a waterman by trade but been on the water for 60+ years. I've had a 10' and that 2' makes a difference for me. I understand you desire to maintain the 10' oal. Would building a rack above your handrail be...

Will be back duck hunting in the morning then deer hunting this coming weekend.

Nice writing Larry. Congrats on the deer. My wife and I are at that stage with my father-in-law. At 87 he is lingering as The sands run out of his hour glass and it does make you wonder about many things. Like you, at 69, I feel I'm in great shape for my age(although a bit over weight I'll...

That boat is rated for a 2hp outboard. I might try a tiller extension and get your weight forward. That's a pretty small boat for a 6hp. A 6hp long tail by design will have you farther forward and may be the reason the owner uses a long tail.

The second one was something I found in a very old post from another duck hunting site I believe is now defunct. It was a site I never was given access to so I can't even find a person's name. I may have to try some guesses as to dimensions with some scrap wood and see if it bends. I'm sure I...

I've been looking over the plans Eric put up of the Guenther Garvey when I came across a boat for sale on Market Place. Unfortunately it was sold before I could get to talk to the seller. While searching to see if I could identify the boat I realized it was a Whistler which is also one of the...
