sean in the late 70s and early 80s they were used alot on our marshes there is a place on our local marsh that is called box creek , 2 of our well known local wildfowlers dug out 2 big holes and double lined them with ply board annd put lids on them so the silt washed up by the tide would not fill them back up... this was just as i was starting in out but the way the tides run now they are well gone and been covered with mud .

 

never got a chance to use them wish i did tho ..

Only shot from one once years ago (got my first pinkfoot) at Skinburness. When I met the other fowler he asked me "where was my bucket?" When we got to the sunken crates I realised what they were for! There was around a foot (old money)of water in the crate which we laddled out and sat on a plank of 6 X 2 the mud then being head height. All good fun for a novice.

The pubs up there were state owned and the beer dirt cheap.
