    RK rock on dude. I need to venture that way badly. My BIL is stationed in Homer right now and keeps saying he wants to come back this way or the gulf where he is from but I think he needs to head to NorCal

    Nice. I've shot my brother's A300 a few hunts this year, and I like it a lot. Pirogues are fun. I haven't laid out in mine any yet, so I'm interested in if you have any way to stabilize it other than balance and shallow water, too.

Then after the rains started the second week of January the ponds came up to where the levels were 14-16". Suddenly the canvasbacks started showing up. Thankfully the wigeon and pintails stuck around. There was also a HUGE push of spoonies that showed up with the weather and the higher water levels. I'm talking around 1500 shovelers just magically appeared in the ponds!!

    There's really no trick to it other than balance if you're in open water. Now if you build a little natural vegetation blind like the ones in the pics above you'd be surprised at what that adds to the stability. Just make the opening for the pirogue a little narrower than the boat so that the vegetation opens up a bit as you slide into the blind. I can stand up and turn around with no problems at all and even shoot from the standing position. Also, pulling into a hyacinth island will make the pirogue almost as stable as standing on dry ground if you're lucky enough to have hyacinth where you hunt.

    What does your brother do? A buddy of mine that was here with me in Cali is now on the Coast Guard Cutter Hickory that's home ported there.
