    Charter Fishing Question - NDR

    In a couple of weeks we have chartered an inland half day fishing trip in Florida. Price is $600 and includes everything. I have not done this before and am not in charge of this time either. Is tipping standard? How much typically? What kind of fish can we expect to be catching. Charter...

    Looking for a new boat

    One of my duckboats is just getting too heavy for me. I have a fiberglass Hoefgen that weighs in around 65lbs. For me to load it in to the pick up bed, get it out, drag it to the water and repeat after the hunt is just too much. I love everything about it. 15' is a perfect length. I love the...

    Mice, not duck related

    Someone on here will have a suggestion. We have mice at our house. They are not inside but outside and all around our AC condensor. I have seen them and have trapped many. I know there are more. I have been using the typical spring loaded traps with peanut butter as the "incentive". Has...

    Looking for new way to rig decoys

    have used many different methods over the years. Current rig is set up using a modified Texas rig system. It works well for gathering up ducks in the water to just hook them to a carabiner and throw in the boat. Also works well in cold weather as I don't get my hands wet and cold. Problem...

    Qeustionon boat registration

    I don't think this has been asked before. I have 3 duckboats. Poke Boat is 12' long, Lund Ducker is 12' long and the Hoefgen is 15" long. Lund Ducker Boat I registered this past season in MN as it never had a VIN and I wanted to create one which required registration. In MN, if a boat is used...

    Opening Weekend

    Haven't seen anyone post their weekend reports so thought I would give it a go. We hunt the far western edge of MN. Right at the continental divide actually. The area is called the prairie pothole region and it is named correctly. Lots of public land available and with it comes many hunters...

    Just cause I promised. Totally NDR again

    Took a picture of the sap problem on my deck. Hopefully this illustrates how time consuming it would be to remove each one scrubbing by hand. And this is just a small section of the deck as it wraps around the whole cabin. Did see lots of ducks this past weekend and hundreds and hundreds of...

    Totally NDR - removing White Pine tree Sap from wooden decking

    We have a few big white pines uo at our cabin and the branches hand over our wooden deck. Deck is coated with a Solid Stain. In the past 2-3 years, a significant amount of pine sap has dripped onto the deck making it basically useless as every time you walk on it, your shoes get the sap on...

    Beavertail Stealth flipover Blind

    Anyone know anything about this blind? I can see it possibly fitting very well on my ducker and solving some issues I have with my current blind. It has overhead camo, it would protect me from the rain and I could put a small ice fishing heater inside to keep me warm when the temperatures drop...

    How to secure this seat

    I am trying to figure out the best way to secure this seat. For those familiar with a Lund Ducker, this is the repositionable bench seat. I can pick it up and move it forward or backwards. Kind of a neat feature. One thing that needs improvement is to stop it from tilting when I reach back...

    Trailer issue resolved (I hope)

    I called around asking about replacing just a spindle, and other options. I just decided I was just going to replace the axle and call it good. OEM from Karavan was $130 plus shipping. I thought this to be ridiculous. Took the hubs off the axle and noticed it wasn't the spindle that was...

    Trailer issues revisited - really need some help

    If anyone recalls, I have a new to me boat trailer I purchased about a year ago that wore through a set of tires in under 500 miles - right down to the cords. When I bought the trailer seond hand, the tires were originals that cam on the trailer and they looked like they had zero miles on them...

    Socks

    Looking for a new pair of hunting/ice fishing socks. My current set up is PP sock covered with wool socks. While this has worked for a long time, the cold takes a toll after awhile. I have been reading about Alpaca hollow fiber socks and the theory. Thing how these work makes sense to me...

    Oh boy

    Anyone ever pee in their duck calls? Asking for a friend. Thought today would be a great day with the weather we've had the past couple of days. So foggy out no ducks are flying. Bummer. Mark W

    Figures

    Out checking if any ducks have come down yet and sure enough, this guy shows up. Stood there for 30 seconds. Long enough to get my phone out and take this pic. Then he slowly wanders back into the woods. Love this new boat set up. For me right back to this spot with zero walking. Last year it...

    TideWe Wader update

    /In case anyone has an interest. My waders arrived the other day and had to try them on. Out of the box I can tell these are quality waders. They feel much more rugged than my last pair of Cabelas. 4 layers of waterproofing, lots of pockets and a front zipper. Fit is close to shoe size (I...
