I can walk out front and shoot a duck 30 seconds later...never had it so easy can’t believe I didn’t start years ago

I like that! The thought of a few mile ride in a metal boat ,  before sunrise, with temps in the teens, not so much .

Just looking at the sheets of ice on the board tells me it's a slip and fall waiting to happen.  More power to you.  I'm sure you know what you're doing but I wouldn't get on that thing.

[OtiscoPaul]

Thanks fir the concern all...

I’m close to home and people know where I am...I’m tempted to go try fir another but I got company coming for the weekend (deer and duck on the menu)

for me it's just the slip hazard. cold ass water with heavy clothes is a bad deal. I'd think you could find a cheap kayak that would be a lot better choice. just my .02 though.

if i used that board it would be an exact pic like this- except.....  the dead duck would look a lot like me.  Hell I am lucky to get across the walmart parking lot in the winter!

Thanks again for your concern.

I have several hobe kayaks and various paddle boards a windsurfer an aluminum row boat and 17.5 fishandski...

I live here I’m pretty comfortable with understanding my limitations and the conditions.

Me using the word duck in this thread is always met with some consternation so I will bid you all happy holidays see you in October!
