Who do you recommend for transom repair?

November 07, 2014 at 1:06pm

Can anybody point me in the right direction for transom repair in the Covington/Mandeville area? I need some transom welding done to get me through the upcoming season before I can afford a new boat.
I have a little 14ft that has a crack in it on top.

Any help is appreciated.

2 quick Grays from paddle in pond on Pearl River WMA

2 quick Grays from the PRWMA. Scouting helps out but still not many ducks down. Slowest year ever since 1985 in my opinion?

Hello fellow hunters,

I'm sure this has been posted in the past, but I have heard many people over the years discuss options for baiting ponds. First, let me say that I DO NOT bait, nor have I baited. I am merely interested in hearing what Louisiana hunters have to say about it (PROs &…

I have never heard of one acting like that, save yourself some head achs and bring it to Go-Devil. I had to have the shaft replaced during hunting season they got my boat back to me in a few days and fixed a couple of other minor problems while they had the motor.

I would like to get some feedback on surface drive motors being that they have been around for a few seasons now. I find it puzzling how you see a good bit come up for sale and most are fairly new. Are poeple buying them, not liking em and selling? We have been running go-devils for ever now…

Are you still required to carry the HIP Certification on your possession while hunting migratory game birds. Reason I ask is that I applied for my HIP the same time I applied for my deer tags. I have a lifetime license. Well, it came attached to the yardstick of deertags. I don't want to carry…

I have been privileged to hunt ducks all my life in Louisiana. I had a uncle that took me when i was 9 to his lease in cameron and from then on it has been a addiction. I now have 30 years of experience duck hunting. I have chased them all over the state, been on good and bad hunts. I have noticed…

Amen! I've posted similar remarks of how the money goes to keep them from needing to migrate on a Facebook forum for duck hunters, i.e heated ponds and you'd swear I slapped their mothers.

Anyone hunt ducks on the Mermentau River? We have some family land over there south of Jennings that butts up to the river. Just seeing if the hunting was good to see if its worth making the trip. Thanks

Lilbyrnzy

I live there, but can't say i know of anyone who hunts on the river, most people hunt rice fields around here. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to go shoot at least a few wood ducks and maybe teal.

Daniel Goldsby of Goldsby Retrievers in Amite is an awesome trainer and a heck of a guy. I highly recommend him for duck dog training.

Well I really dont think it matters, it might help if you are have a kid and need a shorter barrel. What really matters is the choke and not the barrel length.

Looking for a good duck hunting video game. Please reply with your thoughts on a game you have and any pros or cons about it. Looking preferrably for something associated with Wii and that also includes a shooting gun of some sort.
