Welcome Bobby, I think you'll like it here!

Paul, they are effective at adding uplift to the stern which helps push down the bow. Well not giving a true "planing effect "it does add to the ability to gain a few miles an hour while not doing a "pop a wheelie "

Very nice Vince! We really are brothers from another mother

Lol yes, That's about the only kind of Prostaff I want to join! Eric's tip about peanut butter jars Has got me thinking now

I'm looking forward to it. I'll have the rail skiff with me , plus some decoys.This will my 20th year as an exhibitor! Time fly's

Wow! I can't imagine walking in the race Meadows. Even at high tide sometimes the push poll sinks in a good foot or more. I think I would have to bring my oldest shotgun and a couple changes of clothes lol Our Sora don't even like to fly as soon as the tide starts to drop. I was always under...

Your Welcome Brandon, I figured you guys would enjoy it. You're right about that! Especially in the fall

Eastern shore black duck I finished up for Tuckerton. Burning the candle at both ends the last month or so.

That's pretty interesting. I've never even considered that. Most of the areas we hunt sora is emergent tidal Rice Meadows. It's a pretty muddy bottom and I really don't know if it is walkable at lower tides. It may be , I just never tried. I have walked for Marsh hens using my dog and it is not...

I've hunted rails out of many other boats. Including modern skiffs and canoes, I keep coming back to this old boat because it just handles so wonderfully. Stable, easy to push, and Classy. Marsh Hen's are fun also! I have a lot down by my cabin, but we tend to hunt them on foot generally with a...

You're welcome Chuck, I guess that's what this page is all about. I feel like I could be a sponsor for that coffee "I don't Just drink The brew, I use the cans too! " It's a shame we only get two or three good tides per season generally

Yes, I think you're right. The guy that introduced me to it call it the "gentlemanly pursuit " No matter how long you've been away from it you slip right back into it pretty easily. Well all except the part of the aging shoulders lol

You definitely have spend some time chasing the rails. A lot of guys think when the Sora fold their wings and drop that they actually shot them! How many times I have to tell them you did not hit that bird be ready it will flush again! L O L and sure enough there it goes

Wow, sounds like you have more than enough awesome memories to last several lifetimes. I'm glad that you do have at least a few of your father's guns. Breech-loading Blackpowder sounds very interesting. Are those the type of brass shot shells I see sometime for sale at Decoy Show's? I guess...

I agree wholeheartedly. Most of my real shooting friends prefer 28 gauge. I think Black powder shotgunning would be excellent! I've never done that but I can only imagine how cool it must be

It varied by Gunner and location. Grass and weed was never in short supply. So it was usually gathered on site along the coast. Also it made it safer and easier to traverse open water in rough weather without the added weight and water absorption of grass.

We have a lot of clappers down by my marsh cabin on the salt water. But this boat is mainly purpose built for chasing sora rail up in our rice Meadows. Very big tides today made for easy pushing and rails that flushed quite well. We had several double and triples in the mix
