I've been thinking about this myself, around here it feels like you need to know somebody to get a good spot. Hoping somebody chimes in here with different news.

I have done it. Threw two big anchors one per side and tied the line right to help with stability so I didn't turtle.

Where do u hunt, or are there any public spots tou know of to do it

[brianisoutside]

Me and some buddies use blind sites on the magothy.
The guys are usually close in the boat at another site.
800 yards off shore would be considered sea duck zone, but I am not that brave in January.
There are public access points throughout Maryland, check the dnr website.

Literally thousands of acres of public hunting on the Eastern Shore. Blackwater, Fishing Bay, Deal Island, Muddy Hole Rd., etc. Check out the DNR website.

Potomac River near Sharpsburg is where it's at. You could make a float trip out of it, or setup some decoys and start calling.

Just getting started on my yak blind and repainting decoys .....already finished making v-board silhouettes

Nice V-Boards. Good luck this year.

I made some V boards out of pressure treated 2x2 and the wood takes on water and started sinking slowly after about 2 to 3 hours. What wood did you use?

[Skidsteer]

I built a BUNCH years ago (like 80 sets) and used 1x2 fir from the cheapo depot. Held up fine. 8' long board cut into 1/3 segments at 32" each.

I have since switched over to the new plastic ones (sitting-ducks).

i used cedar. it's light, buoyant, strong. problem is it will split if you don't pre drill everything. I know old timers who used spruce but i don't know where to get that. For my goose v boards i'll use slightly bigger cedar boards an place some light Thompson Waterseal or some other silicone sealer on the bottom side and paint the tops.
My experience is that pressure treated lumber is not particularly buoyant due to the whole process.

I'm sure there's one around here somewhere - I'll look.
