Good day

Nice work. Thats an interesting blind you have on there. Can you put up a couple more pics of it?
 
Pat As I am totally competer illiterate my son posted that for me, I just saw what he posted , For a first time posting pics it looks alright. I'll get John to post some pictures of the boat at a later date. All it is , is 3/8 ply to act as a hide and a wind breaker. The boat is my 18' Sea Ark. I can gun 3 hunter out out comfortable and keep them relitively dry. Today was the first good shoot of the season. We layed off of Cartwight Island just south of Gardners Island. There was plenty of Scoter shooting the Eider was a bonus for that area, but with the amount we're seeing in Montauk there is bound to be an overflow. We had three flocks of 30 or more Black scoter over the stool during the morning , Our total was 3 Black, 5 White Wing, 1 Old Squaw (Long Tailed Duck to be politically correct) and the Drake Eider. I hope to get to shoot Montauk next week.
The Pup is my sons new Chessie, Sadie, shes 7 weeks and is ready to tear up the bay. There is a pic of Gus in there he's 8 months and made his first open water retrieves today. I was thrilled when he launched himself off the bow of the boat. I still have Cindy shes 14 and was in a funk this mornig when I left her home.
 
Jack , Do you steam from Lake Montauk to Cartwright in the 18' boat?? or do you drop in somewhere else?

I'm interested in an Eider hunt. When is the best time to hunt them in Montauk, and where would you set up??

Regards, Mark

Mark we launch at Louse Point and run about amile to the East to Cartwright. Montauk is the best. When we gun here , depending on the weather we use the Windy as a tender. No matter what the weather we alwys have a pit to fall back on. for Sea Duck it cant be calm enough
 
I was wondering when a picture of Gus would appear. It looks like you had a fun time out there. John's pup Looks like she'll be a handful, did he get him from the same breeder as Gus?

I think I met your son a few years back, It took me a while to put the name with the memory.
