I went to JoAnn's fabrics and got some cheap camo fabric and made a cover. There are curtain weights that keep curtains from blowing around. You need those to hold the thing in place. I think the fabric beats any smooth camo paint.
I have thought about a kayak for duck hunting. How does it work out? Some Louisiana Pirogues have a scud hole- put a stick through it into the bottom of the pond/marsh to keep the boat from rocking. Or just beach the yak so it doesn't roll. Anyone duck hunt from a kayak?
I have two pirogues, two canoes, and three kayaks. Different boats for different situations and locations. Sometimes it is just for access, sometimes it is used on the bank for a layout, sometimes it is for a sled to carry decoys and keep gear dry, sometimes for jumping ducks sculling,
I drug up some pictures for examples.
On the bank with nothing special done to hide it and blanket blind inside. I am just another log. I was being mobile that day and moved across the arm of the lake and reset a small number of goose and teal decoys to be where the birds were going as conditions changed. This is my main hunting boat. I since removed the seat and use a turkey hunting seat I can fold up and put away. A full layout blind fits in it now.
With surplus camo net material and brush
Wooden Pirogue for layout hunting on open water. I just shovel bank material and mud on top of deck when I launch.
The big metal canoe for hauling massive decoy spreads. Or longer hauls with a 3.5hp gas motor or trolling motor. Also my favorite for sculling creeks for wood ducks. I can put a full blind on it to use in high water years when the water up to the trees.
The 9 ft. Used as a gear sled in this picture and dry place to set things next to me. Great for throw and go spur of the moment hunts and go to cross short distances off deep water to get to walk into places one can't otherwise walk to. Or to easily portage long distances to use in landlocked water most can only walk to.
