    decoy line (single)

    Tarred nylon from Sgt Knots on Amazon. I use #48 for my single rigged decoys like puddle ducks, brant, and individual divers. Then I use the #120 for my diver main long-line. I can't comment on the 120# because sadly, my longlines haven't seen water since I rigged them up. The #48 is great...

    Home Depot paint samples

    Your best bet is to order them online. I ordered all the paints to paint a brant rig per Steve's guide. I think, with shipping, everything came to $60 and its probably enough paint to re-do the rig over 5-6x. I used Behr, Indoor/Outdoor, flat's. They don't really stock the flats because people...

    NY Snow geese

    I don't have one in NY but this year may be a tough one. NY has a lot of these birds traveling through and this year they might be moving even faster than years past due to snow. Thoroughly vet your guide service. Expect minimum 1500 decoy rigs, very good concealment, and absolutely-required: A...

    Mounting Flap Boards

    Steve, Small world. I reached out to the seller of that vessel and inquired who made the dodger when it was listed for sale. Rich did in-fact make that for him. It's a very neat concept. What are the other plans for the rig? I, unfortunately, don't have too many in-action photos of the rig. I...

    Snow goose hunting guides NY, or Del any suggestions

    Couple things: Most guys guiding snows in NJ are fully booked now. The real issue is every guide, at this time, is guiding south of I-195 north of the snow line. So areas like Hunterdon County and Warren are un-huntable at this point which have mostly private land, but can get extremely good...

    Mounting Flap Boards

    Steve, I hunt the boat parallel to the bank even when I am hunting solo. We/I use Momarsh Loungers and sit on the floor. Rich is now offering the 2.0 version of his flappers on the DI13. The original ones were shorter. The taller ones conceal the hunters better but sit a little off the side...

    Mounting Flap Boards

    Steve, Please, in all seriousness, please, post some progress pictures of that. I would love to see your thoughts and ideas put into action for that boat. It's a great rig. You really have a talent for designing concealment boards.

    Mounting Flap Boards

    Thanks Steve, and Bill, for the photos. My Duck Invader flappers lie somewhat low when they are down. I am looking for a way just to avoid having the grass on them get wet while underway. It will take some tinkering on my part this offseason. What you have shown here gives me some idea how I...

    Mounting Flap Boards

    Steve, I'd love to see those boards in the down position. It seems like that leveling block on the gunnel is perfect. One of the ongoing issues that seems to present itself with flapper board setups is the spray off the bow/sides of the boat ending up on the flappers. I'm looking to modify my...

    Outboard Motor Care and Maintenance

    2-stroke: Store it any way you please. Just be careful if you store it with the prop facing skyward. If water gets trapped in there, it can crack. 4-stroke: Consult the manual. If they are stored in the wrong manner they can leak oil into the cylinders. I always recommend storing them upright...

    Outboard Motor Care and Maintenance

    A lot of what Roy said but also change the water pump immediately. Any motor that sits for a period of time the pump needs to be changed. I would freshen it up with all that Roy said but right off the bat just replace: - Plugs - Fuel pump (if it has one which I believe it does) - Water pump -...

    NDR- Gun Control Bill - Congress - proposed

    One of the major direct-order shell companies already said there is a way around. Regardless, it's needless hassle in our lives. It's going to be interesting to see how these next several years pan out.

    NDR- Gun Control Bill - Congress - proposed

    As others have said, it's a Hail Mary or just a soapbox bill. This is going to be the way for at least 2 years, hopefully not 4. Not to get political but even the majority of the sponsoring party won't let this fly. My real fear is they somehow push through an online ammo sale ban.

    Nor'Easter: Whos getting buried??

    Official total in my town ended up being 27". The highest amounts here were 30-35". It snowed for over 24 hours straight, rather heavy.

    Nor'Easter: Whos getting buried??

    We got pummeled here in northern NJ. Over 2' of snow. Thankfully, we seem to be all cleared out. Looking like more in the forecast which is not good. We are running out of places to put the stuff.

    Reelfoot lake Incident

    And even if he didn't perish in the lake, it's a possibility he froze to death. The living witness, unless the accused is shot, is probably going to be going through a lot more interrogation.

    Reelfoot lake Incident

    This is going to get messy and tangled before it gets better. Sounds like the one surviving witness, was the only witness, aside from the accused perpetrator. The altercation between the surviving witness seems very suspect. Truly sad all around.

    How much would you spend?

    Hi Rich, I use those cans in my equipment. I haven't tried them in a 2-stroke mix for the outboard though. I was concerned that the gas might cause problems with motor internals. I absolutely love that fuel for my small equipment though. That is actually what I was referring to with the...

    How much would you spend?

    Just as I suspected, one location that isn't 2+ hours from me here in NJ. It's a shame. It became apparent to me how bad the gas here actually is when I had to clean a carb on a brand new snowblower after sitting over the summer. I just have a gas rotation at the house now. The end of this...

    How much would you spend?

    I should add like others have said, sometimes it pays to do yourself. I would consider myself mechanically inclined as I've been wrenching on things since 10 years old. Youtube and service manuals are your friend. Earlier this season I did a completely light-overhaul of my 15hp. - New plugs -...
