Thats an open water layout, generally used in or close to a large rig of divers, they are usually carried on deck or towed to location, depending on design it may or may not tow well, probably won't row or pole well either, and of course there's no motor. For marsh hunting there's better options...

The only thing I can say is that we've been watching Dr Pol on TV, and when he's wrapping a leg for bandages he sprays an ether base starter fluid on the hair before wrapping and he claims it helps the tape and wrap stick better. He does horses and cows hoofs and legs that are standing in manure...

Anyone have one or know anything about them. Sure is sexy looking...[cool]

Everyone is different, and ages different. I'm 67, can still fish commercially, standing up, but getting up and down, or in and out of a layout is difficult, arthritis throughout the body, new hips, and bad everything else. Even the recoil of my 12 guage double is painful. Not whining, it is...

I loved duck hunting, I'm just not that mad at them anymore...[;)] A nice sunny afternoon above freezing is pretty nice....

Plastic welder is probably best, I just get a small squeeze tube of black or brown silicone and give them a dab...

The integral liner gloves are a total pain to get dry, The liner gloves are so much better, I like to use the military wool liners in mine, I think they are a little warmer, and they give you a little more room in the glove for circulation. Bring two pairs of gloves and liners, you won't regret...

Life's too short to get in a shooting match over a duck...

Sounds like my late brother, wants to go duck hunting but has no boat, (I used a one man rig), no waders, no ammo, no proper clothes. So I get him there, cram him into the boat, set the decoys, retrieve the ducks, and he has the chutzpah to complain I brought the ducks too close and he couldn't...

For you guys looking for better, taller marsh hay, an old trick is to fertilize a the patch of the grass during the growing season. Come back early fall and cut your improved hay...[cool]

The last picture is of Phragmites, here we call it cattails, The Alterniflora, or cord grass works ok for grassing but falls apart faster, the patens, marsh hay, or meadow hay, can be found on slightly higher elevation in the salt meadows,

My wife had cataracts bad and she was legally blind until they were able to do the surgery. with the cataract surgery they also now fix any vision problems with lasik, She really had no choice to get it done, but now can see like an eagle. She hasn't complained of any night vision problems, but...

My daughter that never showed any interest in guns moved to Texas, within a year she bought a handgun and got her concealed carry permit,....must be the water,, The range in her town lets you rent pretty much anything you want to try at a reasonable cost, might be good if she can do that to see...

We used to use something like that on our Tong boat decks that was constantly in contact with sun, salt and abrasion from shellfish and other bottom debris and foot traffic, very old fashioned but worked well. As for interior use, it should work well, but the pine tar would probably not be...

If I remember correctly, and lately that can vary, lol, you pick up about 500 rpm or a little more, per inch of pitch, so if you have a 19 pitch, a 17 should get you where you want to be.

I don't use droppers, or clips, on decoys that have a rear attachment, I tie the decoys fore and aft on the mainline, you could also tie a short loop in the mainline where you want the decoy after threading in a large snap swivel and fasten the snap to the decoy. there are zero tangles this...

Thanks P Taylor for the info... You said you sealed the holes, did you do the expanding foam too? Guys, look around your area, I'd be surprised if there wasn't any bamboo in your areas, The stuff was used a lot for screening, which it excels at, and escapes captivity real easy. Here on L.I...

P taylor, thats one of the techniques I read about, including the vent holes, did you have a problem with the nodes bursting when heated, or did you follow someones instructions?. The vents make sense, you don't need, or want an explosion....

No, it's real bamboo, this stuff has gone feral and grows everywhere and spreads like crazy, no problem cutting 20 foot canes, just got to find a variety thats big enough in diameter, I'm thinking 1 3/4 -2" at the base. I would prefer black spruce, I've got acres of it but don't have time to...

That is a very nice box....the plywood could very well be original. I once built a box from a 10' sailfish fg hull that looks almost exactly like that one except for the v bottom. I used 1/4" plywood for the decking to keep it light, and the ply does bend to the crown of the deck. The only...
