Hello,
I have been one of the absent scullers from the board...sorry about that. My excuse is simple, for the last 16 years I have been living in Kauai and not only are there very few ducks there, there is no open season for waterfowl either!
But I have moved to southwestern Colorado in my dotage (finally retired at 70) and will be sculling soon again. My float is at my daughters home in Metairie, LA and I will be going there in a week or so to pick it up.
I visited Matt last year with the thought of buying one of his great very lightweight boats, but since I wanted to hunt with my rambunctious Lab a small, much more sensitive boat did not seem too clever. By the way Matt, thank you for your time and kindness in showing me your very cool floats last year.
I will need to do some exploring for places to scull here in Colorado or New Mexico that are not frozen solid. The whole ice thing is new to me and my Lab, and will take some getting acclimated to.
As near as I can tell the closest place with open water (i.e. not FROZEN)may be out near Pueblo which is about a 5 hour drive. So perhaps I can scull while I am New Orleans and scout out Colorado when I get back.
If any one has any suggestions on sculling in winter here in Colorado/New Mexico please let me know. No secret spots wanted................ just a general area to check out would be great.
Best,
Bill
