Theo,
No, that's the chase boat for the sinkbox they run up there. All bluebill decoys and they're huge, larger than goose floaters even. We always go too early to catch the diver flight, just been out in the sinkbox up there one day. We go for the marsh gunning and it's tremendous.
The pic where I'm rowing the sneakboat shows one of my rigs. Wooden boat built probably in the 30's, the decoys are all cork by Tom Humberstone.
John,
That big #3 frame 12 gauge certainly does the job and it will kill them further than I'm able to shoot.
Charlie,
Hopefully I'll be back down that way come fall, hopefully we can get together. The 9 degree weather is something you love only after you're back home and thinking about all the ducks you've killed. When you're sitting out in that boat with the wind blowing on you it's kinda like torture.
Regards,
Destry
