Go to Maineguides.org and use the search feature and type in seaducks. That will give you a list of a bunch of Maine Guides that specialize in Sea Ducks. I live in Maine on the coast and have never seen the mothership type operation you describe. There is really no need. At least not in the...

His son, Chris, is my best friend. The two of them really got me started in duck hunting. I went to college at Johnson State and they use to take me out on Champlain and Shelburne Pond quite often. He ran the state chapter during a portion of the 90's but has since moved to South Dakota. VT...

Thanks guys. My gut tells me it's a greater too. I would love to measure it...but it is now part of the septic facility! Ed How long have you been in VT? Did you ever cross paths with a Skip Thomas? He use to run the DU in Vermont. Shawn

Well put Scott. True hunting partners can be hard to come by. Shawn

I bought a bunch of those anchors (rubber coated) from Beans last year. I live 5 mins from there and will be stopping by in the next few days. I'll check to see if they are a store only item. Otherwise, check on ebay. There is one guy in particular that has these for sale in the $25-30 range...

I'm hoping to build a cedar canoe/kayak hybrid from Sandy Point Boatworks this winter. It's called the The Bay Hawk...Andrew, I think you built a scull from that guys plans before, didn't you? The Bay Hawk is more of an open cockpit kayak then a canoe, has sealed bulkheads for additional...

Thanks for the comments guys. Bob: I've already sent it to the photo shop for an enlargement! Shawn
