It has been quite some time since I have posted here, almost 2 years I think. Some here may remember me, some may not, and others may have been glad I haven't posted in a while. (Hopefully that last part really isn't true because I wouldn't want to have that type of legacy.) Well, lots of...

I submitted my application to the Township today for Zoning Approval on my workshop. The workshop will someday be used for building furniture and cabinetry as well duck decoys and perhaps a duck boat. Therefore, this is kind of, somewhat duck related. I had three quotes for the concrete work...

Thelma reached her next destination this past Thursday safe and sound. After spending some time with CraigF elsewhere in NJ she was carefully packaged and on her way a little further south. Originally the dates would work out great as I had a long weekend trip planned with some friends from...

I am and have been investigating Fishfinder/chartplotter combo units for my duck boat. I currently use the duck boat in the off season as well to fish. My hope is in the next year or two to purchase a 21-22' center console to fish from, but currently this is a do it all boat. I have been...

What are the name of the pliers used to clamp the fuel line hose clamps that pinch closed? The kind that you would get if you went to a marine dealer t have them make you up new fuel lines. Thanks guys. Chad A

In my quest to be a real duck hunter, I have decided to again do the devious, evil deed of painting the outboard on my duck boat. The last boat was a 2001 with an outboard from 1996. I didn't have a problem painting that one. The new boat, however, is well, new. The boat and engine are both...

I have been in and around boats practically all my life. Most of that time has been spent on rivers and inland lakes. And the time spent in those boats has been recreational fishing and pleasure. I love boats and I love being on the water. I suspect that most of us can share that sentiment...

I purchased these waders last year for my son. They are a size 8R. They were an updated design last year and are built like the Grand Prairie waders. I can't find information on their site to match this style anymore. 5mm neoprene 1200gram Thinsulate boot Killer Weed (KW-1) camo heavy...

Do any of you have experience with the Wise plastic folding boat seats that come on the 4 legged base? My son currently uses a wise seat similar to the one in the picture. His has been in a boat pin base. He seems to find the seat comfortable, but he is 13y.o. and might find anything...

So, my wife asked the big question. . . Can we spend Christmas vacation with her folks in Florida? Her folks live in Weeki Watchee, FL. They are exploring the idea of staying on Sanibel Island. Are ther any duck hunting opportunities in either of these areas that I could explore for a day...

Wishing you a a happy Father's Day. May it be relaxing and peaceful. Enjoy your families and time together. Chad A

But the angel said to the women, "Don not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, as He said." Christ has risen, so that all may know Him and be saved. Happy Easter. Chad

I will be looking to take a trip to hunt the Arkansas Timber in the next couple of years. The trip will be for my son and I and a good friend of mine. My good friend is in his 70s and this is a bucket list hunt for him. This is also a bucket hunt for me, but I am much younger and am really...

As I continue my quest for the perfect double gun for duck hunting I stopped to ask myself, "What chokes would I want in this gun?" So here is the deal, I am tired of shooting my auto loader. It is a tool and gets the job done but lacks the comfort and familiarity of a SxS. It is the only...

Some of you may recall I posted a couple of weeks or so back looking to gather some names of people that do/did pencil drawings and other artwork with a waterfowl genre. I received quite a few good suggestions on names of people to look into. Thanks for the info. Perhaps the best...

Here is what I have: 1996 Mercury SeaPro, 40hp, 2-stroke, 2cyl, tiller handle. Symptoms, rough idle, will gain RPM until about 1/4 - 1/2 throttle and then, only run at a little above idle from 1/2 to WOT. The engine will not move the boat above trolling speed, which normally runs 27mph at...

I am looking to pick up some prints or pencil drawings of ducks or Waterfowling themes. Any suggestions on where I can look to find things like that? Chad A

On Thanksgiving, we have the option of ducks or Quail. For the past 3 years, we have chosen to chase Quail. This year my folks traveled out to join my family for Thanksgiving dinner. My folks are not hunters but have taken the courses and have joined me on a couple of occasions for a hunt...

I have a 1996 Mercury Seapro 40hp, 2-stroke tiller outboard on my MV john boat. The engine runs good under normal conditions. I say that with the caveat that it runs at a high idle and reverse gear slips. I know it is not a perfect engine, but it serves me very well and has always reliable...

Fall is my favorite season of the year, bar none. I grew up in the NE and after some travel for work, I moved back again 4 years ago. My birthday is in the fall. When my wife and I first got married, she obliged my request to fall camping each year. three kids later and now having a son that...
