    Is anyone here familiar with Virginia Beach?

    Looks like I’ll be spending a week there in May. Will be doing mostly family stuff but also will have some time to myself. My online research has uncovered the Atlantic Wildfowl Museum and a couple National Wildlife Refuges. My highest objective would be to catch an edible fish (or several)...

    Ever heard of a Nissan branded aluminum jon boat?

    Title pretty well sums it up. There's a used one for sale but it's a couple hours away and so I was trying to find information online. Sounds like Nissan boats were only on the market two years 1988-89 and their fiberglass line was a total catastrophe. I couldn't find any information on...

    ID this fiberglass duck boat?

    Picked this up in the twin cities last summer... no commercial markings, but I suspect it is factory made. The connection of the deck to the hull looks a little cheesy, but hopefully it holds up long enough to get my money's worth. Had been storing it upside down with the other canoes and kayaks...

    Learned a hard lesson about deadman switches

    OK, just to be clear, this wasn't the kind of hard lesson where someone got hurt or killed due to lack of a kill switch. But, for my last hunt last fall I went out to Lake of the Woods to set up my Zack Taylor Wigeon for an open water layout hunt. While picking up the decoys, apparently one...

    Taming the bow-slap of a BBSB in open water?

    Seems like maybe there's been a recent influx of members here with experience using sneak boxes like the Zack Taylor Wigeon for open water layout hunting. I've used my ZTW for this on occasion, but not often enough to really polish up the skills . . . is there any way to reduce / eliminate...

    FS: Filson Upland/Waterfowl and Drake Old School Camo Down Vest

    For Sale: Filson Tin Cloth (no longer made) Upland / Waterfowl Coat. Size XL. Hardly worn as it is too big for me. Thought it would work out with layering and such, but it was still too big. I don't know if these things run a little big, or if it's actually an XXL. Now I've dropped 50 pounds...

    SOLD / Old Town Predator Kayak K140 / SOLD

    I purchased this boat in March of 2010. I used it extensively in 2010 and it's a great boat. I frequently put my dog behind me and paddled all over the place. This year I haven't even put the boat in the water. I simply have too many boats and have decided to keep my 9'6" kayak and let this one...

    SOLD / Carstens Canvasback / SOLD

    THANKS FOR ALL THE INQUIRIES, THE BOAT HAS BEEN SOLD, PAID FOR, AND DELIVERED I've had this boat for approximately one year and bought it from an esteemed member of duckboats.net. The boat is great, it's just that I have way too many boats and must thin the fleet. As you can see, the...

    Anyone got plans for "static" oarlocks for a sneakbox?

    I'm not impressed with the folding oarlocks on my sneakbox. Does anyone have plans for simple blocks to mount the oarlocks on, or in, that would mail, fax, or email them to me? Or, heck, if you had some laying around, I'd probably buy them from you. I don't have time to make any right...

    WTB: Herter's Goose Decoy Heads for Floaters - small quantity

    I'd like to make some undersize honker dekes and my plan is to put goose heads on my Herter's 72 Hen Mallards. Two to five heads would be fine, the shorter the neck the better. Thanks! NR

    Is this a Canvasback?

    I snapped this pic last week under the assumption it was a brood of mallards, but after reviewing the pic, the one on the right sure looks like a canvasback to me. Is it? Or is it just a mallard affected by the light and angle?

    Discussion: Burlap, leafy cut, Military netting, or ??? for Boat Blind

    I'm building a boat blind based very closely on Carl's plans. It's on a 14' Alumacraft F7 - a basic 14'er with benches. If you aren't familiar with Carl's blind, it involves conduit uprights with a PVC top rail that is easily removable. The blind material can be fixed to the top rail like a...

    Furniture grade PVC fittings - can I get them in an actual store?

    Hey guys, I'm building "Carl's Boat Blind" and I'm going to do a couple things different. I'm looking for some PVC fittings known as 3-ways, Clip T's, and Snap Clamps. Folks use these things for building greenhouses, patio furniture, and other framework structures out of PVC. I've got...

    FS: Brand New Neoprene Waders size 11

    I got a great deal on these at Gander Mountain. The original price was $180 and I got them for $75. Problem is they don't fit and I need to stick with Cabela's "stout" sized waders. I would just like to get my money back, so the price is $75 + shipping, if shipping is necessary. I make tracks...

    Can I have a kill switch installed?

    I have two outboards on which I would like to have kill switches installed. One is a 1986 Johnson 8hp and the other is an early 1980s (82?83?) Suzuki 4hp. I don't have the owner's manual for either motor. Is this project doable? Easily? Any commentary / advice would be greatly...
