maybe we could get Capt James to fire up that 12 valve cummins in his tug and troll some diver lines for us.. I think with these wicked cold snap, those birds will pile into the river any day now.. Season closes on the 11th so we still have time for a world class shoot yet

nice photos Paul, that river should be loaded with cans and redheads this time of year

Not much wonder Chad I wasn't receiving notifications when I had my old email address being used... lol.. Got it figured out now.. Thank you

I don't know anyone that does more gorgeous work on decoys then you Tom..

I've been out on Lk St clair (Walpole side of Martin Island) and all setup in hopes that the gale force winds predicted would not shift, and one day about 4 yrs ago, we were set up along a steel break wall, with about 200 diver blocks out, and the wind switched only slightly and pounded us in on...

Wow guys, thanks so much for all the great replies.. I wish this site had the feature that I could be emailed when someone responds to the thread, if it does, i'm not able to find it, but sure would be handy.. Snowing and blowing outside here today, makes me wish I was on the bay waiting for...

Congrats to Cheech for a gorgeous build on his rig.. That style of blind is something I've wanted for many years with boats I've owed from 14' and now running a 20' Alaskan with 75hp tiller, yet I remain apprehensive to buying a spool gun and aluminum stock.. We gun primarily the big waters...

My buddy Paul sent me this link as I haven't been here since last fall but once again Tom was work is truly a God send man. I too love to late season hunt for this big majestic bird religiously up here in Ontario and I've seen a few bull cans in my time yet I've never gunned over any decoy as...

Being a small engine/motorcycle mechanic most of my life not a soul alive. An argue the reliability of any Honda product. Ive ran 2 stroke outboards all my life and had no use for the idea of any 4 stroke strapped on the stern of any boat of mine until the day in 05' I decided to try a new 50hp...

Last year I purchased open water grey paint from Lou and rolled a few good coats on my 20' Alaskan.. Although it looks and wears as good as any of the Pettit paints I've favoured in the past, this year I'd like to get a FME paint to emulate dead reeds..From his website swatches I'm wondering...

Again, maybe not what you want to hear. It I have been shooting remingtons mostly 870's most of 35+ yrs of hunting and decided it was time about 10yrs ago to move up to an auto and have owned ever auto the stores sell. I simply stayed away from the Remington field autos due to the fact my aunt...

Hi Chris: Yes that does seem cheap for an acrylic call, and i'm not familiar with the call you mention, but keep in mind there are two types of acrylic calls, one is turned on a lathe which are nocticeably heavier and fuller sounding calls vs liquid acrylic that is injected into a mold..I have...

Beautiful blocks Terry. I especially love those Cans !! Someday, I hope to have my own spread of home made decoys..

A few years ago while hunting late season, my Brother had his mojo out in the big river in front of our farm house on the St Clair River, and a lake freighter came up river and broke up all the shore ice and we were so busy scattering to get our decoys before they got to deeper water we forgot...

That dog has pyscho eyes..lol..tail straight up tells me it's the boss too..hmmm

I had an old beat up jon boat years back that we shimmed and with 2 of us both on the back bench seat we gps-ed that hull with a merc 9.8 at 17mph..my buddy couldnt believe how fast that thing ran, and kept hounding me to sell it to him, which I did, but it was all because of that piece of wood...

Hi Dave; Yes cavitation and slippage is the most important while setting up the motor to the hull for optimum performance..that 1/8" makes the difference between slipping and grabbing hard water..Once you get it raised to the point where it starts to slip, remove that last stick and measure and...

Yes Dave, the stir sticks go in between the mounting bracket and the top of the transom. although the cavitation plate is just under the bottom of hull, the more you can get it out of the water, the less drag you'll have and the easier and faster it will spin the prop..set the trim to about the...

That power transom unit sounds really cool Dave but I'm not sure if it has Vertical lift capability or not, but the less lower unit you are wetting the faster that hull will run..I can't stress enough to try those stir sticks and get that lower unit as high as possible before cavitation..Simply...

And before BRP took over Johnson Evinrude, OMC had the worst junk out there. their technology never changed from the 60's to the 80's...The always looked and felt really cheap to me, but I've had my share of disappointments with Mercs too, but like anything else you can get a lemon with them all..
