man we use to do real good with the woodies on little river right by cypress lake that river goes along way back in the woods. we had a blind we made on the side of there we would do pretty good at daybreak. that was about 10 years ago but i would imagine its all the same. not to far from you either

Ok here it is. I built my own pop up blind nyself. I used 3/4 inch galvinized pipe. For one cheap pipe will bow in the middle. Then I got some old troll net. I wrapped the troll net around some small pvc pipe and connected it along the railings of ny boat with screws. Then o took the pipe to home depot and used one of their pipe benders to make the corners of my blind. I had them measured how high I wanted the blind off my boat. Also u don't want you railings to hang over the side the boat to much or it will drag in the water. Once I bent my pipes I used small pieces of angle iron the attach at the middle of the bow and on back of boat. Once that was in place I wrapped the troll net from the side the boat up to the frame of my blind. Thw net helps hold the grass out off the boat. Attached a rope from each side of blind to hold up in place witha clip. A good tip with a boat blind is that even though you have a pop up blind extra brush or cover is best. Especially a foot or two over the blind because I find that ducks get a lil cautious of just a plain pop up blild. I always added cover around the bottom of boat at top of blind to break up the outline and to make shadows. The best thing to do is when you find a spot you like make a lil brush pile to pull into and pop up ur blind.

hey fool, your getting good advice from some of the guys here, I built two before I got it right. use the 3/4 inch at least I wouldn't use anything smaller. Don't try to make a long side run that holds the camo, when it gets wet, and it will duck hunting, you will want it strong. I would go about every 2 feet with a support from the top to the floor. Also the cane (or painted pvc)on the bottom is very good idea, cause the wind blows a lot during season. also a cheap piece of brown or green material lining the inside will help as a wind break. I also used black wire ties once I got the material inplace and cut slits along the upright and horizontal poles and tied it in place. this helped hold it in place on the windy days. I hope this helps with your project. If I ever build another one I will use 1 inch all over. I know you are in south La but when the temp drops below freezing the pvc will get brittle. Any weight (someone leaning on a pole) and SNAP! SPLASH! not good during duck season.
