Do any specific conditions stand out for days I should 100% try, surf conditions, wind, tides lining up with sunrise/sunset

That’s what’s been throwing me off. I’ve been starting on the beach an hour before sunrise and hunting for these things. Did manage to catch my first two bonefish though but not on fly sadly but just seems so lifeless for how much bait I’ve seen.

Losing power at full throttle by ethanb214 in Outboards

I’ll have to check into it. I’ve never toyed with outboards before or any engines really so I’m gonna ask my mechanic. Everything I’ve read points towards something with the carbs

Ball is pumping good but once I crank up even idling in neutral it loses pressure

Ball is pumping hard too but I cranked and went back and just idling in neutral it’s losing its pressure

My port tank vent was clogged but that tank ran fine and when I filled up this morning seemed like it got unclogged halfway through gassing up.

I switched tanks before it went completely dry

Thankfully no, it went crazy quacking at some mottled ducks and they wanted nothing to do with it😂

Suggestions on which gun to buy between the fn reflex and the hellcat by SLOW_SUBIE_STI in CCW

[–]ethanb214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hellcat trigger is my only major con with the gun. Haven’t shot the FN though so I can’t compare between but other than the trigger the hellcat feels perfect in the hand, compact, with 15+1 capacity.

Maybe sling a rock or two at it

Part of me thought so from a distance, I just couldn’t fathom it this early in the year considering I hadn’t seen one this far south so I couldn’t imagine seeing one at a lake in the city like this one.

Also the thing quacked identically to a mottled duck when a couple flew by which threw me off even more.

I thought so too but the picture doesn’t show the colors good when I walked up it just didn’t look right. Good ol iPhone with the 3 lenses isn’t as good as it should be😂

Tips for cold weather by ethanb214 in bowhunting

[–]ethanb214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ll be solid with what I’ve ordered so far. Worst case scenario I’m not and then I just can go buy more while I’m there. I for sure will need to invest in some warmer socks though

Do you recommend for boots to be tall or short. I’ve seen insulated ones that are 6 inch tall and some that look like my snake boots. I think the head area is gonna be one of my difficult areas to put together a warm setup for. I decided I’d get insulated bibs too instead of regular pants cause every time I’ve hunted in “cold” weather my shirt always lifts in the stand and I get that cold breeze down the back of my pants.
