Not sure if this is the right spot for this or not. I live in Florida on the east coast and duck hunt alot. Over the years my hunting style has changed and become more geared toward my dog, I hunt stuff that is safer for him (low alligator risk) even tho it may not be the best choice for that day.
The IRL is a prime spot for me to do this and pick up some divers, mottles, mergs ect.. I have always done so in inpoundments or other areas that are walkable, wadable ect. But I want to start setting some big open water spreads and would liek to do so out of an Erie style or pumpkin seed style layout boat. Problem is no one builds one around here or within a 12-16 hour drive honestly. So I want to build one, typical.
I see alot of guys on here building conchfishs or what ever in a strip style of what im assuming is foam core and glassing over it to produce a light weight hull
Maybe some of you guys can school me a bit on if I can basically build something from scratch in this method.
I know I can build one out of plywood and glass over ect, and have plans that show how to do so. Problem is finished the thing will weigh 150 pounds, not exactly easy to deploy to and from my skiff, so id like to core it and build that way.
these are examples
