I've been meaning to share a picture of our Barnegat Bay sneak box. It's docked next to the public launch in Barnegat throughout the winter. She's a 29 foot x 9 foot fiberglas pontoon boat that most people think is a Tiki Bar. It can hunt 5/6 and a dog comfortably and includes a porto john and cook top. Not much privacy when you use the john. It was a tough season on the bay. High winds and bitter cold was the norm for all our hunts in January, but with two buddy heater you stay warm. She's a bit slow with only a 25 HP motor, so I'm looking to upgrade this season to a 60 or 75 HP.

Millie 9, Dude 6 and Mom Lucy 13. Dude never misses an opportunity to go hunting.

How often do you get folks in the winter coming to look for a tiki drink on the water?

Very nice boat....looks quite comfy.

Beats the heck out of a floating barge blind....

Damn near a 30 footer. In reality a powered floating blind. Relocatable according to the wind. What did you use for grass - looks good.

Used two 48 x 100 ft rolls of Tiki grass. It's going to need some attention to the grass this year.

Most of the Tiki bar comments come on the drive down to the shore in the fall when I stop for gas or when I launch the boat at the ramp. I also went with padded swivel chairs with backrest so it's real comfortable. Also made a sturdy dog ladder out of aluminum pipe and mesh that has worked out great. It can even support a man who may accidently fall in.....of course that has never happened to me!

That is a great craft Dan. Have not hunted Barnegat Bay in several years, but there is some good territory around where you park.

Greg, I see you're local. Your welcome to join in. I'll make sure I get you a couple invites next season for you and a buddy.

Dan-that'd be great! I have a place with some friends down in Dividing Creek on the Delaware Bay marshes, and you can come there too.
