Day one in the field with Robert in NJ Our coastal zone first split and north zone second split (along with small game) opened Saturday. Knowing the coast would be the most popular option I opted to hunt the north zone with my dad (on his birthday no less) and my friend Tom. Tom had...

Safe and sound at my house a mere quarter mile from the hotbed of waterfowling that is Barnegat Bay... Looking forward to Saturday for our North Zone second split opener and Coastal Zone opener.

Looking forward to receiving him! We've been closed here in NJ for a few weeks so should be right in time for our NZ re-opener and Coastal first split.

Looks familiar [;)]

Looks really great! It always throws me through a loop to see pictures of folks gunning where you don't have to worry about tide! Although I guess the water levels do fluctuate quite a bit regardless.

I have shot three double banded brant, all three I saw the bands before I shot. The stainless ones practically glow in the sunshine.

Transmitter is going to look awesome on my lanyard

The hull design most closely resembles a Heinrich 'speed box' They had the hard chine in the stern with the flat bottom for speed. This one appears set up to gun over the stern (motor) with the dog box behind the main cockpit.

I only have one goose band as I don't do much goose hunting. Shot that one over a puddle duck spread in the ice. I do have three double banded brant though. Usually average about one banded bird a season so I guess I got it out of the way early this year! Interesting to me that this bird...

Very nice Randy! I had the day off today and got a nice surprise, my first ever banded teal. Two year old greenwing from Ontario up north of Michigan... long way east for this little bird.

All my small motors are yamahas, albeit their bulletproof two strokes. I have been a yamaha guy through and through, but have 350 Mercury Verados on my fishing boat and they are amazing. They really made me come around on Merc.

That is the deal of the century on that yamaha. I know a guy who sold one for $3k... I don't believe higbees were foam cored, usually just had plywood coring on the transom, but they were built by a few different entities over the years so that could vary.

For larger bodies of water Navionics is great. I use it as a backup gps for offshore trips and it has helped me in a pinch in the fog duck hunting too.

I want to know what has happened to common courtesy of giving ample room to other parties on the marsh and even rarer, 'letting the birds work' if you are in tight proximity to another party. I've had outstanding hunts for myself and other parties where we set up close to each other but were...

Not illegal, just a different style from the long island grass boats. I grew up gunning out of a southbay so my sneakbox has grass rails similar to the southbay style. My roy boat has the netting, so best of both worlds!

Hard northwest blow after a cold front, dropping tide in the afternoon and buckle up!

I vote for the broadbill (I cannot bring myself to call it a blue bill being from NJ)

I should be there walking around if I'm not in cape cod chasing bluefin.

Really enjoyed participating in the past and would be happy to do it again this season!

The lower gadwall numbers is pretty interesting. I've seen (and harvested) more of them every year the last five to six seasons.
