"Should I harvest that buffalo or not?" I'll add that to my list of decisions I'll never have to make in NJ. Awesome that you have those types of opportunities!

Option C

Option B

So what do you guys think will work better in the salt marsh considering I want to stay as low profile as possible and also considering that I hunt with a 70lb yellow lab. Option A is the blind that have on it now. It's basically a large spray shield that has an additional fold out "roof" and a...

I think that flapper boards would be great. My only obstacle is that I'm 6'6" tall 250 lbs. the cockpit on the blackjack/broadbill is so wide that there is not much area between the cockpit and the gunnel of the boat. I wouldn't want to have the flapper boards stick out past the sides and I'm...

Hey chris, I'll text you a link to a pretty good video on summer sausage. It actually can be done with pretty minimal equipment. I'm probably going to try it this year as well.

This is what I'm working with for the early season. Will be grassed when everything dies off

My boat does have the fittings although mine is a 1999 built by Pheonix. I think the PO might have had a similar blind on it but I'm not sure. If the site will let me load the pics I will show you what my current setup looks like.

I have an arthur armstrong blackjack myself. I too have been thinking about this blind setup. I'm interested in seeing other peoples inputs.

That's the thing, the drain on the splash well is not in tact. The hole on the inside of the fiberglass is present, underneath the hole is a solid piece of wood covered with silicone. I'm assuming that someone replaced the transom and didn't bother with the drain hole and sealed it over. Only...

Just an update. I went to look at the Blackjack in question yesterday and it was in decent shape. The cover had some fine cracks on the edges which I believe that I could fix fairly easily. What concerns me is the transom. It has been skinned with 1/8 inch aluminum diamond plate with the edges...

Thanks Greg, good info. I only hunt the smaller bays on the shore, I don't venture into DelBay. Gets a little nasty for my liking. Someone in Moorestown has a beautiful Broadbill for sale on Craigslist. Unfortunately until I sell my Jon boat it's out of my price range.

I'll definitely give the boat a thorough inspection and see what I can find for rot. Let's just say I'm not too handy with fiberglass, lol.

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that...well I'd be half way to a $2 bill.

Tony, I won't be hunting more than one person out of the boat. I'm basically choosing between an early 90's Blackjack and a late 80's Broadbill, both are all fiberglass construction. From what I can tell the cockpits of the boats are identical, unlike in the newer models. The Blackjack I am...

I'm totally with you. Going out to my spots I'm usually trolling along. Tidal waters can change overnight and I don't want to find out what got shifted by the tide at 4:30 am with my lower unit. On the way back to the launch I usually let er rip if I'm comfortable enough with the water I'm...

My friend and I are both considering sneak boats for the upcoming season. I have been eyeing the Broadbill for some time but recently came across an early 90s fiber Blackjack that's in good shape and reasonable in price. I've done research on them separately and have found that they are both...
