I use a cut down milk crate and the (old style) momarsh invislounge, though i don't have a southbay. Hunting two adults side by side is pretty tight. I used to sit on a throwable pfd seat cushion way back when I had a southbay. In my my boat my seats are set up so the flappers are at my...

Yep I've been to the East Penn / Deka factory and it's impressive. They make all the batteries for west marine, etc. I have Dekas in my big boat and they haven't let me down. I have an Enersys pure lead AGM in my roy boat, never even need to put it on a trickle charge. Cranks every time.

Hunted out of an original 80s model with my father growing up, we ran a 15 hp and later a 25 hp hunting coastal NJ. Still have plenty of friends that use them with great success on the NJ salt marshes. My dad and I have since gone to schellinger high boxes, which I feel are a slightly better...

Spoonies get a bad rap in most of the country but they are a treat for us NJ folks. They sure work and decoy nice, like goofy looking teal.

I usually shoot one or two a season, here's one that looks pretty similar from a couple years ago:

Black duck / mallard hybrid for sure. Very common to shoot in NJ, Mexican mallard not so much.

A few highlight birds from the season. Started in a t-shirt shooting teal and finished it up in a few miles of ice. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Learn how to use it ahead of time and get it adjusted how you like so you aren't trying to figure it all out in the field. I film all my hunts in 4k resolution, linear field of view. Linear FOV removes the fish eye effect. The head mounts are okay, but I like using multiple cameras with a few...

I keep a bottle jack similar to that and some blocks of wood in my truck in the event I need to change a trailer tire. Have only used it in my driveway a few times for maintenance but it works well. Good to do a dry run to see exactly what size and how many blocks you might need to throw in...

This is just so darn cool. A lotto dream would be to have my own private gunning land to cultivate like this. Nothing like getting birds right in the timber, which us NJ folks don't get to experience too often.

I still film quite a bit, not as much this season, but I have a lot of footage that has never made it to YouTube. The problem with hunting public land and making youtube videos that are quite popular is the internet scouting. I decided to stop burning myself and my friends for the time being...

Thanks everyone, was a nice surprise decoying in to the black duck rig... Was down your way recently sampling some of that teal action myself Jode. This fellow came in at mach 10 but was no match for the 20 gauge.

Shot my first ever redhead the other day puddle duck hunting. You could say I was pretty stoked.

Nice highlight from the other morning. First one of the season.

Growing up we killed many a brant over our massive brant rig... one e allen brant decoy. Being where they want to be is key... having a good brant call helps too. I don't shoot them much these days, but I did call a nice group into my pintail decoys the other day. Just keeping an eye out...

I stuck with the IC, I was in the 15-25 yard range. I think I need to tighten my choke up a bit, maybe switch to a mod but I want to pattern both first when I get a chance. From what I understand bismuth patterns more similar to lead so you can shoot a tighter choke vs steel. I'm used to the...

I "field patterned" some Boss #5s... Nice way to break in the M2 20, full limit with a nice pintail to cap it off. I doubled on my first go around on black ducks and 'pillow cased' them just puffs of feathers. Even birds I wasn't right on and looked like potential cripples were DOA when they...

Thanks Dave. As the gunning got better and better last season I had to dial back the videos, I have gigs of great footage but unfortunately hunting public land one needs to be selective in what they post, unless they want 10 guys there next time they go [cool]

Sounds good John, good luck up there! Have some Boss #5s on the way to give a try.

Getting a light mod for it is high on my list of things to try next.
