I am sure it can be done but I am not sure you will like the outcome. Running the bigger mud motors can be a workout and having the added effort of controlling the throttle can be a drain. I have a fixed throttle but have run motors with a spring loaded grip throttle like a brake handle on a...

God help anyone who gets sick and needs care from those guys. Paul

I had a great chat with three older gentlemen who sat on the Elgin County stewardship committee. They looked after a bunch of properties that would interest you. Paul

Cool pictures! That is a brave squirrel in the second one. Paul

I have a friend with a lot more money than me who goes every year. They do an afternoon/morning hunt and stay the night. He really enjoys it and they always seem to get into birds. If you think about it... he didn't buy a boat, doesn't keep a dog or have any of the other expenses. I hate...

Gotta love it. While I have a preference for hunting over water, I have had some very memorable field hunts. This picture was taken in the DU field at the Unit a few years ago. Paul

quote: Originally posted by ship wrecked nothing like cupped and committed I agree with you guys completely. I am not a big fan of pass shooting for the same reason. You can't beat the sight of birds hanging over the decoys. ship wrecked... I sent you an email. Paul

Hey Sonny, I think I know that fellow with the sneakboat. I hunted and fished LP with him and his dad a few years ago. Paul

There is no public hunting area like the crown marsh at Long Point. There are numerous guided hunting opportunities on Walpole Island and not all of them are overpriced. It is nice to not have to worry about anything other than getting yourself there. I have done that a couple of times and...

It is a little like hunting Big Rice Bay on a busy day. The area around Mitchells Bay is really small and only holds a few boats. Some days it is a really long run to find a spot to hunt. It is the same rules as Long Point for hunting near a shore or natural weedbed. Add in that you can't...

This thread has been very interesting and there has been a great exchange of ideas and information. I have really enjoyed following the discussion on the best years of hunting LP and the changing ecology of the bay. I have read that zebra muscles have really helped clean up Lake St Clair. I...

I have heard many folks refer to the crown marsh silting in. I am wondering if this is a long term consequence of Big Creek being redirected, human intervention for flood prevention (sea walls, break walls etc, the explosion of phragmites or simply the changing dynamics of a living marsh? Just...

I got out with a friend to start the New Year off right. It was blowing like crazy so the lake was a touch wild and we had to move our decoys several times as the wind shifted. We managed to take home nine birds in a mixed bag. Several of them were prime specimens. Paul

Great topic. I look forward to the responses. I have seen some ups and downs in the last 35 years and I have not been at the Point as much the last couple of seasons but my own bird sightings and harvest have been up the last few years. Paul

I think the latest I can recall shooting from a Unit blind that was not in the creek or field was December 10. This certainly is an unusual year. Paul
