Getting motivated

[Dave Sikorski]

You ever just have one or two days that get the juices flowing and that switch just flips?

I was out fishing today with my dad and uncle in the bay and couldn't buy a decent striper bite. I tried the places I prefer and finally found some very willing bluefish.

I looked off into the distance and saw a big blue thing floating. I first think it's a kayak, or an abandoned kayak. Thinking of proper protocol to hail the CG I approach it slowly, looking for an unlucky boater.

Well it turns out to be a piece of dock foam, so no high seas rescue for me today.

Took the foam home and got a hackin.

From 6-8 with dinner in between I was able to get 4 swan bodies ready for burlap. Sure 3 of them are headless feeder decoys, but the darn things are feeding like mad where I need them for confidence.

Tail boards are glued in and if things go as normal I'll get them finished by the 2009-2010 season!

You may want to take an hour and push that broom thru your shop

Just kidding - it looks like my garage does. Gets cleaned once a year if it needs it or not.

Good start on the low budget dekes.

That's not a mess, it's "character".

Does this count as going green? making decoys out of wayward "trash"
