Finally was able to see what these mud motors were made of this weekend for the opener on the 2nd split. This is what happens when you get a low tide at 5 am, and NW wind at 25-30 mph. The only time we had to push was when had to push over rollers!! Felt bad for the other hunters that got stranded out there in outboards! We had 4 ppl (800 lbs), 3 decoy bags, 2 gas tanks, guns and other gear.. so probably pushing 1000lbs!!

Good thang 'bout that hunt is ....


You not only git to clean yore boat .....

You git too clean DuckByrds too !!!!!!!!


Whats that concrete lookin' thang in the back-ground ??

its off the intercoastal canal, i guess it used to be some kind of barrier that over time has just washed away. Its right infront of the rollers we needed to cross to get to the next body of water. Your guess is just as good as mine lol

Get out of my dam spot!!!! Stay ya azz on the other side of the river...




No, seriously, stay outta my spot.

hmmmmm wonder who showed you that SPOT.......hahahahahaahahhahaaha Free land man hunt wherever you think the birds are gonna go.

Good hunt, looks like you had to really work for it though

Who showed who???????????? Boy, look where they're @. Aint neither of us use them rollers, but we both have shown each other some spots up there.

i dont think ill be using them rollers again! If i didnt have 4 ppl i dont know if we couldve gotten my tank up the rollers... dont realize how heavy that SOB was lol... it took us just as long to get there as it would be if we launched from juniors!

the he!! with rollers when you are a running a mud boat...those boats are too damn heavy. If you cant make it over by hitting them WOT then I aint hunting that spot. I think it would be alot easier to just launch at Juniors next time.

Whats a roller ?

a levy , with a buncha 4 inch or smaller pvc pile laid across it

the only reason i didnt launch at juniors was because of that heavy northwind going across that lake like that. at least in the intercoastal it was a little smoother! It was my buddies idea on the rollers cuz he said they arent that bad.. (bull sh*tttt).. ive got a big enough boat to run that open lake and hit the back side of horse shoe trail next time where it actually opens up.

Those rollers on the intracoastal are a b!tch...the ones in the big hill unit you can hit at WOT and if you can drive well you can just about make it all the way over without pushing. I on the othere hand usually hit them and slide off the side at the top and end of having to push anyways.

looks like my lease after a good south wind lol

Keestan- y'all going to be out there this weeekend?

Provided I get off work in time, I will be. Will be ridin with my buddy in a cc MB rig.

get your belt fixed yet?

Got some of my parts in, but still waitin for some. Sold my boat, so really no reason to put the rush on fixin it. Been spendin my spare time helpin out tryin to get the shop ready.

stay out of my area camo and turbo, hunt the south end

Looks like I'm not gonna make it. Once again, this damn job's gettin in the way of my huntin. Man, I'm sick of comin in behind those sorry mofo's that refuse to do their jobs.

good meeting ya this weekend CAMO! how did yall end up doing out there at sea rim that day? we ended up with 8 that day... sucked pretty bad for us. had a group set up pretty much on top of us because of that fog and it was close to shooting time i guess. Didnt really see a lot fly tho man.

We didn't do too good, I had to be in Bmt by 10:30, so we had to really turn & burn. Flat we went to only had about 9" of water when we got there, & almost none by 8:00. Could see every step we or the dog had taken & there was an obvious trail in the mud all around us & the dekes. we managed to knock down 6, but had to bail out earlier than we wanted.

BTW, good meetin you too.

I let my buddies take my boat out there this weekend when that real bad northern came through and this is two of the pics they took... they thanked me up and down for my boat being a "life saver" lol .... they said they in some spots they had no choice but to run over straight mud flats out there to get out!! But you can see tide went out a good couple of feet!!

Horse shoe trail can get pretty tricky, but when in doubt just roll the throttle

no pics of mud, but took a few pics of the past few limits weve taken out here in the last couple weeks!


nice day of pennys


4 man limit.. 6 pintails, 6gadwall, 6 teal, 5 spoons , 1 mottle


2 man limit

Ain't no way... Pro Drive goin through all that mud!!!

Say it ain't so!!!


Nice goin C&B

Why yall got all them brown ducks?? Might as well been in black and white!! Need some green in there!!!

Keestan, anyone playing this weekend? Not sure if my rig will be done gettin the HJ

It won't be done, especially if camo get ahold of it, if he doesn't mess with it then it will run when you get it back! !

Or he can jsut trade it for a GTR and be done with his headache.

Nah, I'm gonna wait till spring & get a new MB with reverse.

Better start saving them pennies!

anybody going to be out there for the last weekend of the season??

Keestan & Take'em are in SELA for the w/e. I'm done for the season. How'd yall do Wed? That was you that came in just ahead of us, huh?

Yeah that was us. That was our worst hunt of the year man. We. Brought in 5 teal. I guess with the full moon and clear skies it hurt us a bit. How did y'all do??
