re: Big Branch - duck hunting?

Posted by Rysizzle on 11/22/19 at 11:07 am to
I haven't hunted the Fritche side of Big Branch the past 5 years but did hunt it a lot in college and before I had a boat. I got a few limits over the years out there but I would get 2-3 every hunt. It's going to be mostly divers but teal and big ducks show up randomly.
The more you go and try different areas the better you'll do. I was never stopped by green jeans and have had my decoys shot at out.

If it is a married beaver, it'll be tough to get it to put its mouth on any wood.

re: 4yr old - first reel

My 5 year old has been using a spinning reel since last summer when he was still 4 because it's what we had around. I started out casting for him then got tired of that and taught him how to cast. He does it all on his own now and he even caught a limit of reds the other day.
I don't agree with it either but I am not going to say they don't deserve the same right to hunt as anyone else. I surely don't believe social media posts are a reason for a lack of ducks. If the instahunter didn't kill those birds someone else would be. You have to pay to play or put in work on some public land.
Yes, but wanton waste is not what I described. Taking a picture of your birds and discarding them the same way one would a breasted bird, is not wanton waste. It's waste but not illegal.
Why do yall care so much what someone does with the ducks they kill? As long as they are legal, I could care less if they eat them or just take a pic and dump them responsibly. A dead duck is a dead duck.

Great end to a great first split. 3 man limit and my first band.

re: Duck Hunting Solo?

Posted by Rysizzle on 12/1/17 at 4:50 pm to
I have a few weeks off during hunting season and make a lot of hunts during the week. If the ducks are there, it's nice having another person to knock them down with. If not, it's easier to get 6 than 12. I will go no matter what, but it is safer with someone else.
15'4" low side. Great for my solo duck hunts. Does fine with 1 other person, but the speed is better solo. I rebuilt it last summer and I am going on my second season with it. I can get anywhere I want to paddle or push it through. It will be wet with any chop, but it can handle more than most would think.
The beach usually has a breeze and it's really not bad if your tent has good air flow. I have been camping at the state park a few times each summer the past 4 years.

Also Penns tend to be very rugged.


I caught a Penn battle II in Hopedale jigging the bottom this past December. I used it as soon as I pulled it in the boat, and it worked fine. I cleaned it up when I got home and it's smooth as new. It couldn't have been under water too long but the jig head on it was almost rusted out. That says something for durability of the reel.

I had a pair of suncloud's The Mayor, and I thought they were worth the $45 I paid for them on Amazon. I lost them in the river getting drunk which is why I don't like to spend anymore than 50. I have a pair of peppers (~$40 at academy) that are about a year old, but the polarization/tint is fading on the edges. Other than that, the peppers have served me well for what they cost. I would recommend the suncloud though, they seemed to be good quality for the few months I had my pair.
1979 Low sider. The floors and decks are all foam core with 2 part flotation under floor and 1/2 the decks.
I used mine for duck season this past yea. A few times I stuck it in the marsh, dropped some mums and a piece of burlap over the boat and did well. I have a low sider and it has 8" sides so it hides well.
I did a complete rebuild last summer, which includes decks fore and aft, false floor, and flotation under all of it.
I had the boat pushing through 2" of water in a flat during duck season. It paddles like a canoe with the motor up in 4" and top speed with the right weight distribution is 23 with the 9.8 tohatsu.

Weirdest catch while fishing

Posted by Rysizzle on 12/10/16 at 8:03 pm
While fishing today, I hooked something on the bottom. As I start to reel it in, I see a fishing pole start to emerge.After a quick fight, I landed a Penn battle II. I proceeded to cast the pole with the sparkle beetle it had on it and caught a fish. Rod and reel seem fine after a wash. I have hooked on some different crap, but never a rod and reel in almost perfect condition.
Anyone ever catch any interesting artifacts while fishing?

Heading to BR from NOLA, anywhere in between to stop to look for a used outboard? I'm looking for a 15 two stroke or 9.8\9 that's in pretty good shape. Everything I've seen from private sellers lately has looked like junk. Thanks in advanced.

re: OOS Used boat registration

Posted by Rysizzle on 10/14/16 at 2:23 pm to
I'll definitely check around for another notary. I have used this one before and remember specifically getting a bill of sale notarized without the seller present. I guess they're cracking down.

OOS Used boat registration

Posted by Rysizzle on 10/14/16 at 6:01 am
I bought a project boat ($300) from a friend who bought from a guy in Florida and never had it registered in LA. I have original title from Florida signed over from original owner, but no bill of sale and notary will not notarize title without original owner.Last time I bought a used boat in LA, the original owner signed the back of registration and I sent that off with fees, no problem. Then I sold the boat the same way, never notarized.
WLF says I need either notarized title\registration or notarized BOS. When I called them, the lady I spoke with sounded very unsure of WLF accepting just signed title of boat if I can't get notarized. She said,"depending on the supervisor." Question is, do they treat out of state purchases differently, ie more strictly? Anyone have an expierence with a similar situation? Also, Florida is non notary state, right? How would that work?
I am going to send it off and hope for the best, but just looking for any other ideas to make this work if I can't get notarized paperwork.
Thanks in advanced!

re: Mossberg 930 SPX thoughts?

Posted by Rysizzle on 7/8/16 at 11:51 pm to
I have an 835 mag that my dad gave me in high school. It was a 300~ academy special, it has been submerged, stuck in marsh mud, and fired 3000+ rounds but doesn't have a single rust spot and always hits the target. My brother has a nova that got pitted sitting in the gun case. I had two remingtons, one was ok and the other might have fired 50 shells out of 100. I sent that gun back to remington twice before I got rid of it. I have a 930 but haven't shot it yet,but for a low end semi auto the finish is great.
