    Boat updates, neat stuff and safety stuff...

    Im kind of a knife nut, and noticed you have a Spyderco rescue knife. Have you ever looked at the Salt series that Spyderco makes? They use H1 steel, a 100% carbon free, and therefore rust proof blade. It is the only knife I have found that lasts anytime for me commercial fishing in...

    My appoligies and thanks.

    In 2 days, it will be a year since I joined Duckboats.net, and as I was looking back over some of the questions I have asked in that time I cant help but feel embarrassed and thankful to all of you. When I joined, it was kind of weird. I had been working as a commercial fisherman for years...

    How do you feel about big game hunting? How has bird hunting changed that?

    I agree with everything everyone has posted. I had a honest 150 class buck 25 yards from me a season or two ago, on the ground with a bow. The wind swirled, and he just disappeared. Duck hunting has never given me a single big rush like I experienced with that buck, but it has let me...

    How do you feel about big game hunting? How has bird hunting changed that?

    Since I got into duck hunting, deer hunting dosnt "do it" for me anymore. This year I got nearly 100% exclusive acess to a farm to hunt, over run with deer, and I just dont feel as excited as I once would have, 2-3 years ago. This is the first time I have ever had a large piece of private land...

    Good News on the Chesapeake:More duck food and better habitat for crabs & fish.

    oh yeah, it is a pain right now, but thinking about the crabs we'll be catching next year, the specks it will shelter, and the blacks it will feed....its a small price to pay. just finished fishing our pots today, and told my boss about carl's post and the 18% grass increase. "he said, look...

    Good News on the Chesapeake:More duck food and better habitat for crabs & fish.

    i wasnt sure what the official increase in grass was this year, but i knew it was ALOT. i am a commercial crabber, and man, EVERYTHING is fouling up with grass. huge balls of loose grass are floating on and under water, filling up our pots, and fouling around the lines and buoys. some are so...

    is the weight capacity/max hp sticker required?

    as some of you know, i bought an old '62 starcraft hull a couple months back. due to its age (pre '72) it did not have a hull id. well, i got a HIN, and due to college and some other issues, i dont have the money to fix the boat like it should be. i have got it sold for what i paid for it, so...
