The other post on the Greenhawk weight mold got me thinking of one of my decoy weight molds. I bought this a few years ago because......well I don't know what I was thinking. I cast a few dozen and I decided they aren't for me. Does anyone use this type of weight. Maybe I'm not using it as...

I want to share my final, I hope, solution to my trailer jack wheel problem. As posted earlier, when pushing my boat, the trailer wheel would keep going in the direction it was pointing and made it more difficult than it should be to push the rig out of my garage. I have poor to very poor...

I'm looking for a wheel, or a trailer jack who's wheel actually swivels easily. I'm tired of pushing or pulling my boat into or out of my garage and fighting the trailer jack wheel. The dam thing just skids across my driveway half the time. Anyone have a solution? Thanks, Mike My boat...

So I was talking with Nick Zito yesterday, and he is trying to make me spend more money! We were talking about navigating in shallow water, and it would be nice to motor in, instead of poling or walking the boat in. Does anyone have any ideas about using an adjustable jack plate. I saw some...

I picked up the boat from Rich in PA early spring. Rich is a great guy, real easy to deal with, no drama, and he is true to his word. Very professional, he told me an estimated completion time, keep me updated, and was timely The good: I love the boat! Enough room to hunt 2, today I hunted...

13' Duck Invader

Just an FYI, I came across this, seems like a good price. https://m.llbean.com/llb/shop/51958?page=coastal-cork-decoys What do you think?

I recently acquired some burlap covered foam decoys. How can I repair these? Most are worn and the metal weight in the keels are rusting through. The heads are loose on most too. I decided I don't need goldeneye decoys, but could use eider, or scoter. Is this repair and transformation...

I was thinking of hunting the Estuary on some open water in a harbor for sea ducks on a scouting/hunting mission. This will not happen with anything over a chop. The problem is how do I safely deploy an anchor off the bow? I can't easily get to the bow without leaning on the dodger and barely...

I need another duck boat. I use a David Clark Estuary for all my solo hunts, and love it. When I hunt with my buddy we use his 16' Duck water boat which is really closer to 18' with the pods at the stern. It is a great boat for divers or places with a solid foot of water. I need a 2 man boat for...

There is something about brant that has me becoming obsessed with chasing them. I have 8 decoys, with 8 more on the way. I'm using an old school Canada goose call, now and getting good at imitating their calls. A lot of tongue rolling and various sounds, and they seem to respond well...

Somehow I seem to have no problems missing ducks and geese on the wing, but I'm proficient at shooting my decoys. What should I use to repair a few holes, and cracks? A couple of my geese begin to sink before my hunt is over. Thanks, Mike

Today, I finally shot a banded duck. 4 mallards came in, and I dropped one, I missed a shot at a hen. I was disappointed until I saw the jewelry! I got 5 goose bands, to date, but this is the first duck band. My motor ran like a champ, so my problem is resolved. Starts on the first pull...

I had an issue on the last day of early season. I thought I'd see what you guys think while I'm waiting for the carb parts I think will solve the issue. I ran the boat out to my spot in the dark as usual, mostly 1/2 throttle and a bit full. No problems. As I was hunting, I realized the...

I was going to do this for the early season, but I went out of state with work. I harvested some grass from the marsh, and now it's in the shed drying out. Do you guys dry your grass? Or what is your method. Is this salt hay? Thanks Mike

The duck season ended Saturday, with only the late goose still open until 2/15 in a couple zones. I had a great season with limited ducks/geese "in the bag". I got familiar with my new duck boat, and my new style of hunting in a BBSB style boat. I've branched out a bit with my spots, and found...

Well, I used grass mats this year, I'm going to give salt grass a try next season, as Saturday is the last day of our late season on the coast. I've learned a lot this year from all the fine people here, and on my own the hard way. I've got a lot to learn, but I'm feeling competent, and even...

I need help casting over the head type decoy weights, I bought the Lil Mac mold # A-3100 shown on this page http://www.lilmacmolds.com/A-Series_Molds.html The problem is that The mold is not completely filling. Most of the time I'm getting a void on the bottom or sides. I don't have this...

Well, I think I'm on my way down an expensive path. I'm catching the cork decoy bug. I really want 8 or 10 cork blacks for the marsh, but I couldn't resist this from ebay. I love shooting divers, but there is no way I could afford an entire spread of bluebills, but maybe a few will be used for...
