Thread: Happens every bloody year

happens every year: i have to repair last seasons electronic decoys that have been put away wet and left switched on so the battery gets buggered. repaired 10 so far this week

I swapped packs with a mate and he couldnt work out what this funny wee remote in pocket was......meanwhile Im turning house/shed/vechiles upside down trying to find luckducks remote...it got biffed out and Ive rewired it to bypass remote....... charged my 6volt battery then ran decoy for 30 hours to drain it,put back on charger and blew fuses in stove it was plugged in to...now dont know if plurry battery has charge in it of not!!!!!!

just wired my luckyduck straight to the battery last night. Don't know if it was the remote or switch but got it working . might not be so lucky after this season

So since it's going to be still on opening was wondering of getting one of those quiver magnet h2o things any of you had one before or is there something better?

Used them in the past, they drain batteries very quickly. Suggest a jerk string more water movement

Bilge pump just under the water or attached to decoy wired thru a flasher unit from a car is what I use on still days,works mint.

Had a great week. Limits in the morning for 2 of us, then snapper, gurnard and kahawai off the beach in the middle of the day, plus a few roosters during a couple of quick hunts. Dogs ACL joint held up OK, but we did have to rest her for a couple of days during the week. Home early to Mrs Lentil to help with cooking ( she still recovering after op.)

groan...more bloody ducks!
dont i mean dont let the bilge pumps get full of mud !! they seize solid, draw massive current and blow out the control circuit

noticed it raining ducks over you. That dog did some work.

Yep - got some good video footage. If there were 3 or more ducks, I picked up the gun, otherwise I just filmed.
