Jeff, your so right. 5 good tides a year is high cotton! I think last year in Jersey we had maybe 3! You gotta go when you can. Work be damned.

One sweet looking boat. If you ever need to put a small outboard on to cover distance before you start pushing it seems like that would be easily accomplished

Let me know how that stuff works out. I've considered trying something like that myself. For now I just give it a fresh coat of wax every few trips.

It's walkable. There's a ton of them out there. I just prefer the Soras . Clappers kind of become like family pets lol. But every couple years I'll go out and shoot a few. The spartina is almost impossible to push. For some reason it is like Velcro to the bottom of a skiff. Even on a very high...

Steve, the clappers are thick on our Delaware bay marshes. They flock to the cabins and often entire families live among the framework and decking. It's a real good way to keep the dog occupied! It's pretty interesting they like to call all night long which makes sleeping in the meadow...

I saw boss is selling a two and three-quarter number eight steel shot shell. In 20 gauge and I believe you can order them in 28. They might be able to make you some 410s

Sora taste like a tiny wood duck. My friend says they're like peanuts. Takes a bunch to fill you up!

A pair of these Poles came out of a house in Salem. A friend of mine saved them from the dumpster and gave me one

The big thing about Minnesota is of course they do not have tidal flow. Sora do not like the flush unless conditions are very disadvantageous for them. Big flood tides. I would imagine in Minnesota you need a pretty big rain storm to get them feeling Squirrley.

What's cool Bob is I just recently picked up a 16 foot pole. It looks to be made by the same maker. Except -16 feet and has a knob on the end

I think they're dry Laminated coosa would probably be pretty equivalent in weight to the water saturated balsa. If that's what you have and you have enough to do the floor I would go with it
