Open water hunting on lake Pepin?

[abhelg]

What are you using for a layout boat?

MLB classic or an MLB big brother..

I think MLB sold their operations and plans to these guys: http://www.waterfowl-works.com

my boats were made by Mark Rongers the starter of MLB... he sold out to another group around 6 years ago who about put them under then Tony Homer bought them...

Tony Homer is to diver hunting... what Threinen is to goose hunting roch.

Smuggler you going out this weekend? Trying to decide between mille lacs or pepin but I'm having a hard time finding a 2nd guy to swap the tender and layout with

Tony's new blocks are pretty sweet. @$7.00 per blank I'm hoping he's retired the "Herter's are collectible" non-sense. Paint yourself, their in an Autumn Wings head, and you have a pretty solid dozen for $200.

There are collectible Herter's, but because you own a dented and shot up hunk of foam does not impart value.

NO $h** I have a pile of herter's I bought while herter's was still a good company be for the crapelas takeover.... then I bought decoy molds and have been making my own but shipping of EPS beads has gotten insane!!!!! $36 for beads and $75 for shipping .... Tony has been able to make it work and his unpainted heads are the only after market heads with a warranty unlike autumn wings( have broke a few) ....... Restle coat them aka poor mans flocking and you paint to your liking and them are some nice diver decoys

Can you guys that have done this comment on the safety risks of this type of hunting? I am interested in trying it, but I don't have a death wish. It would seem that there are risks getting in and out of the layout as well as being in the layout itself. How much wind can handled without incurring significant risk?

I'll have to check out his heads. The Herter's heads I have are on their last leg. My lead block with the anchor on it fell out of the bag and hit the garage floor.... there goes another one!
