the only thing I'd do is get some quick grass sheets and maybe some light brown army surplus netting... Looks good!!!
Wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could.

looks like crap. Ducks will flare. Send it to me, I will dispose of it for you.
I like spoonie, his humor is dryer than my duck lease.

Looks good to me but I have a question. What if your 2-4 miles from the ramp, a front carrying 1-4 inches of rain, sleet or snow hits, what do you do for over head cover to keep yourself dry and keep the inside of the boat as dry as possible? We got in a similar situation on Lake Fork two years ago and didn't have time to pick up decks but, we had time to button down the hactches and still ended up with 6-8 inches in the boat. We don't use the open over head setup but more of a blind setup with canvas over head and sides to
A.) to keep the wind and chill off
B.) to keep the Rain, Sleet, Snow out. (like we have alot of the last two factors).
Is this a common setup up or just an exception? And what do you do JUST IN CASE?

I Have a bimini top which is good for hail and the boat has a bilge pump for any water. the netting is a pretty good wind brake for the wind and chill. I just wanted to be able to hunt out of my boat, it's not a average duck boat, it is a Lowe FM165 bass boat.

I've always been a fan of fast grass and natural elements breaking up man-made camo, but it looks good man!

when you get to your hunting grounds why not just brush it in with the natural veggies that are around?
Attention rickym, this is not a troll post, just a good hearted fun type of post
