Dani, Those look like swamp/burr marigolds. Once those flowers drop, they'll be covered in seeds we call beggar-ticks...the ones with two little barbs that stick to everything and are seemingly impossible to remove from clothing, goretex in particular. When that happens, BBWD's will work that...

Bob, for restle-coating, use glue...rustoleum is only an option if you're using actual flocking. Restle-coating adds strength to the foam decoy while also creating a textured surface that reduces glare. Flocking does less to protect, but cuts glare even more. I would use tite-bond or tite-bond II.

Thanks, Dave. It was worth the inquiry. Lots of things to love about the high boat, particularly the simple layout and blind panels. The "skiffs" I'm familiar with aren't flat-bottomed, but they appear to have less deadrise. Every time I complete a fiberglass project, I swear it will be my...

Tod, you're absolutely right...I didn't even realize I had failed to do so until you just mentioned it-trying to do too many things at once this morning. Jode and Dave-thank you both for your insight...I appreciate it!

How much does it weigh? My experience with putting them on anything that's a traditional mud boat is limited to lightweight fiberglass skiffs. That being said, I've seen them work on mod-vs in certain applications.

What you're talking about doing with glue and sawdust is called restle-coating, which adds a protective coating. Flocking involves adding "flocking"-tiny nylon threads-via glue or paint. I've used rustoleum with good results. Flocking requires at least 2 layers...More is better.

That's what I was looking for, and all I needed to know.

And I appreciate anything he knows about the boat and is willing to share. If he's run, or knows of someone that's run one of these motors on that hull, and it was a complete flop, that's one thing...if he has no experience with the particular application of a mudmotor on that hull, but was just...

The length and height are both adjustable on my copperhead...I doubt it would have any problems getting over the cockpit, but that would definitely be something to measure and consider. I understand that these boats were designed to hunt tidal marshes with outboards...I get it. What some fail to...

Does anyone operate or have experience running a schellinger (high in particular) boat with a small surface drive mudmotor? I'm fully aware that these boats are not designed to be used with mud motors, but neither is my current boat--I'm not necessarily in the market right now, but I love the...

Has anyone else experienced issues accessing the website? I've tried on and off for the last week or two, and each time I pull it up, I get a software warning from my computer that the website is infected with malware.

Carl, I've never aged duck breasts like that, but I almost always age my ducks either in the refrigerator or, if cold enough, hanging outside. Here in N. MS I can get away with the latter more often than I can in S. GA/N. FL. As a matter of fact, I have 6 hanging right now that I killed...

Dani, they're there in good numbers now, and I suspect their population will grow exponentially in the next 3 years. I'm not great at documenting my season as I do a lot of my hunting alone, but I had a number of good BBWD hunts. The mature birds with older or no broods are the first to head...

[/url] [/url] Two days prior to my younger brother making it home for Thanksgiving, my drive shaft snapped a few hundred yards from the ramp, and my "big boat" was eliminated as an option for the remainder of the holiday. Because we were limited to our hellbenders, and because the birds...

My season in FL has come to an end once again, and as always, I miss it already. Despite a general lack of birds in my area, I still had some great hunts. I say it every year...I need to get better about taking pictures and documenting my time on the water...but here is a small taste of my...

If it's just me, a thermos of hot coffee is the only breakfast item making it onto the boat. There are few things I enjoy as much as watching the lake come alive while steam from a hot cup of coffee lofts through my face mask.

Thanks for the response, Jeff. Parachute, camo netting, and fronds were my gameplan should I decide to hunt a few guys from the boat and leave the layouts at home. Aside from the beam (and the fighting lady yellow hull/white deck), she shouldn't be much more difficult to hide than a large duck...

Steve, I'll shoot you a PM. We've talked before on other FL forums...I think the username I used on FL Waterfowler was DuckDawg. I'm the guy who killed the leucistic Fulvous whistler a few seasons back, and we exchanged a few PM's. Crowded and uncrowded are terms I use loosely in this area, and...

Josh, thanks for the response. My boat fishes (and I'm assuming hunts) larger than it really is, and I have no concerns whatsoever about being able to carry 1-2 hellbenders stacked on the bow, and 100+ decoys and gear. I'm looking forward to giving it a go come November. I'm used to hunting...
