    The End of Duck/Goose Season . WHAT IS NEXT?

    My brother is seriously into snowmobiling, his crew will put in hundreds of miles on a good weekend. NE PA and southern Upstate. Sleds sure have some a long way since we owned our first Moto-Ski in 1980!

    The End of Duck/Goose Season . WHAT IS NEXT?

    Lots of fishing to be done in NW PA right now, you just need an auger, a sled, some tip-ups and a couple of jigging sticks!

    Cold Snap, how low did you go?

    I am betting there are losts of frozen pipes in ALabama this morning, from Mobile to the Shoals. Good looking pup! 31 in Tampa this morning with clear skies and a huge moon. Frost on the car tops!

    Hunting / Fishing Boat

    Welcome aboard Dustin! Lots of options in that size range in Aluminum hulls. Lots of salad and jet drives doesn't really mix, so I'd think you are looking at a surface drive. No experience with them, so I'll let others jump in. BTW, which state, or states? .

    Aussie Cackler 14 build

    Love scarf cuts. I guess one could do that with a router and template too. But the CNC machine cutting sure is cool.

    The End of Duck/Goose Season . WHAT IS NEXT?

    Yeah, it can be pretty slow here sometimes, more active when it’s better weather for boat building. I noticed that the number of actual hunting posts are way down from back in the day. I believe that is fear of all the internet scouting that goes on.

    Cold Snap, how low did you go?

    Low of 32 in South Tampa, saw that it was -1 where I grew up in NE PA. I bet the lakes are making ice and booming this morning.

    The End of Duck/Goose Season . WHAT IS NEXT?

    Stripers are fun and tasty, good combo! Back when I still duck hunter, February was about the only month I didnt fish Mobile Bay or the Gulf, between then and the next duck opener. Kept the boat running almost every month!

    The antenna is actually inside the unit itself.

    Depth Finder and Navigation

    I was wondering how the same. Does it have a remote antenna? Almost all ones made in the last 20 years have internal antenna. Makes me think you have a short inside or a software glitch. Unless you are under tree cover, everywhere in the US should have enough signal to get a fix within 5...

    Speaking of fish, last Friday. Morning bite was on fire for saltwater panfish, current died around 2pm and so did the bite.

    Cold Snap, how low did you go?

    Heavy frost predicted for the next two mornings here in South Tampa, not a big deal for most of yall but I’ve got 4 banana plants within a few months of putting out flowers and two mangos that are already in full bloom. I can cover 3 of the bananas but the one other and two mangos are too tall...

    DNR Rescues Duck Hunters From River

    I know a guy that felt that way about HP limits. Only road in that boat once!!! Yep, glad they are all safe, hopefully taking this lesson to heart. But hey, we'll all had close calls too.

    So much here to unpack from a safety standpoint. 5 guys, in a boat that size, in a frozen river, in 12 degree weather???

    Shell Drake “Redbreasted Mergansers”

    That’s rough upbringing. Like you said, she tried and kept food on the table. My wife is a great cook too but won’t cook game. But she does eat it even though she’s a city girl.

    Depth Finder and Navigation

    Jeff, do you use a GPS puck or your phone's GPS? We switched to all pucks, not sure which brand. In open areas we are getting centimeter accuracy. In dense canopy, usually submeter, but sometimes we still have to post process. Cant remember what app we are using for data collection, I leave that...

    Cold Snap, how low did you go?

    Exactly! I havent dealt with "real" cold since i left Mobile, even then thats nothing compared to what we used to get when I was a kid growing up in the Poconos or what y'all get in upstate.
