    Depth Finder and Navigation

    I do get very poor reception on GPS in depth finder . To the point a lot of days its non functioning/ won,t lock onto satellite's. Other days reception is fine but that doesn,t happen a lot. My wire bundle which I assume has an antenna leads in it is tucked under my aluminum console. Always...

    Depth Finder and Navigation

    Have GPS on my Depth finder. Problem i,ve found is the windy river I hunt the track would take you right thru the woods on the pointed corners. Found this out in daytime use thankfully. Works good for crossing bays though.

    Cold Snap, how low did you go?

    Took advantage of midday high tide change and 26 degrees temp yesterday after another 14 degree morning. With 10 mph N.W. wind and tide movement broke a hole in ice in front of blind and let wind & tide carry ice away. Shot first duck 15 minutes after getting in blind at about 12:15 pm and done...

    Pet Peave - Sleeves without a slick lining

    Surprised the liner jkt. isn't slick inside as most models are simply a kind of nylon either side with insulation sandwiched between. Does liner jkt. have fleece inside it ? I seem to run into a gun mount issue with their 3n1 styles getting the tall outer shell collar keeping my head from going...

    Cold Snap, how low did you go?

    Went down to 12 last sat. morn with a stiff N.W. wind. After storm petered out Monday morning balmy at 28 and a bit of N.W. great hunting weather. Tues. morning just a couple degrees cooler and another great hunting morning. Now this morning back to mid teens and were stuck in those temps with...

    Jersey black ducks for the finale.

    Black ducks are what's saved my season this year. Haven,t shot a mallard in last 3 weeks ,only my 2 Blacks each trip. Iced up river getting ready to start as well as impounds iced over looks like thru end of our season if forecast holds. May work good if it doesn,t get to bitter for this ol man.

    Ideas on a mounted spot light on my DI

    We get those in river i hunt. Certain conditions submerged fallen trees surface occasionally and here comes a 25 ft. tree floating right at water level. Maybe there a couple broken limb stubs to spot it and maybe not. Usually only see it after a huge flood tide but just last week one came...

    Hybrid ducks

    Yea, i,ve killed 2 Black duck hybrids so far this year on river I hunt actually in past 2 weeks. That's not a normal place to find hybrids in past years. Our Bayfront is where Blk/Mallard hybrids are more prevalent. Each time they came in with a mate that showed no outward signs of being mixed...

    Ideas on a mounted spot light on my DI

    I,ve been using a 4" flood light from Tractor Supply on my Ghenooe and 1436 jon. Both wired back to a 3 switch control panel mounted in a small plastic ammo can and powered by a Lawn Mower battery. Theres actually a little conversion box made now that allows use of a 20 volt Dewalt power tool...

    Arthur Armstrong Broadbill project

    On my Blackjack top cap was simply riveted on and gunnel molding supplied the water seal. Of course over time as rubber hardened and cracked seal became suspect and is why those hulls were prone to getting leakage in corner flotation bxs. That and loosening handles on stern. If you remove to...

    Which gas stabilizer do yall use

    Don,t trust the Red. It will let you down on older fuel.

    Which gas stabilizer do yall use

    I'm the outlier here. Never used non ethanol but have used a few stabilizers in my boat and mower , chainsaws and other lawn maint. tools thru the years. Found quickly Red Stabil didn,t cu. t it When they introduced blue stabil several years ago I started using that and have never had a fuel...

    Options for my boat sides- will be making big water blind

    The water has shine as well on a sunny day. The most important shine is your movement, particularly face & glasses on their approach.

    duck boat trailer bunk carpet for a wooden boat...

    I,ve used indoor/outdoor carpet from big box stores on my smaller boat trailers. Has the rubberized backing on it. Stapled w/stainless staples along sides and bottom ,no issues. But why no slicks? Makes boat unloading/ loading a lot better with less wear to hull in my opinion.

    Options for my boat sides- will be making big water blind

    If your setting boat up top shoot divers (blue bills,cans, etc. )and blind sides extend partially down hull,say to about 10" above water line,it really shouldn,t matter. After all it is gray which isn,t far off from big water colors. I just wouldn,t leave sides completely exposed unless maybe...

    $4 a shell? Holy cow!

    Winchester also makes Bismuth shells. Were actually some good sales on them a while back.

    New boat

    Oh tiller definitely does give more usable floor. But he mentioned running around fishing so I,ll assume he might want a console of some type.

    $4 a shell? Holy cow!

    I,m sure it was in reaction to the initial trump tariffs on metals from China and their subsequent stoppage of exports. That has since changed and although Bismuth costs more now its not the exorbitant price that was being charged for a short time period. That and TSS availability dried up...
