I can make it there in 2 hours maybe a bit less you can fly on 94

Sounds good on that time Mrklean. Never went to a decoy show before. May as well do something other than sit and wait for warm weather.

I like Ricks decoys alot.

another round, tried some new things and some old favorites as well.

First, the laziest decoy I have ever made. Not lazy in the way it swims, but lazy in the "forget this just finish it" kind of lazy. It was a salvaged from the scrap pile decoy.

[Neighbor_guy]

Then I did some "Big/Small" type just messing around...

[Neighbor_guy]

Same with the Orange, I cant seem to keep the small orange one around. It seems to be very popular...

[Neighbor_guy]

And finally, a new style for me, kind of a teaser only about 4-4.5" long. The first one was the trial attempt...

this one is a "proof of concept" decoy... I am trying to see if you can do a decoy that swims w/o a tail using a flipper blade or a small bucktail instead.

It balances and swims, so that's a success, but the radius is a little big for such a small decoy. So the concept is there, the execution needs to be fleshed out some more.

[Mike89]

very cool!!!

[Archerysniper]

I love those decoys and get a kick of the duckface lips

[jasonmichalski]

nice work!

[Neighbor_guy]

A hot pink teaser. Pink and white is usually one of the first colors I us no matter what I am fishing for, so its no surprise I like decoys this color. This one will likely find a place in my personal decoy box.
