Yes I think it is. When you say a quick with a southern drawl it kind of does sound that way! Lol and the more common name they use down chincoteague is Cottonwood.

I'm not sure where you're located, but it grows literally like a weed all throughout the mid Atlantic. When possible I like Forrest grown Polonia from the northern part of its range. It tends to have tighter growth rings and straighter grain I do believe once you get south of Virginia it's...

Try to find yourself some empress Polonia. It is very close to balsa just slightly harder but works very similar

Most of the park you can you spin tackle. But lures like rooster tails need to be single hooks, no barbs

I think only the upstream of raven Fork is flyfishing only. The majority of the native stocked waters can be Spincast or bait as well

Man that is one heck of a blind! Pretty awesome construction. And I'm taking that that is Thomas? He looks like you going back 30 years ago!

Many sneak boxes from the 1920s up through the 80s and 90s featured Sawn Ribs construction. It is a pretty common feature especially once makers had access to ban saws and commercial lumber yards. Is the boat all the cedar planking or is there any plywood construction in the deck etc.?

Hi Richard, it's a 78 CJ five. 304 V8, T 18 granny gear transmission. I owned five or six jeeps over the years including several with the 258. I've had this '5 since 1996. It's amazing how fast the years past and it's easy to get behind on routine maintenance when you have so many other irons...

Thought I would get this months thread started. I've been working on some wintertime ruddy ducks Plus a little bit of wrenching on the old CJ. It's been 20 years since she's had a good going over. Rebuilding the carb, distributor, and water pump.

Cataloochee, onocoluftee/Cherokee on the NC side, road to nowhere , etc

If you're trout fisherman there are some of the best streams in the east both inside and outside great smoky mountain national park. There's more water than you could fish in a lifetime

I used to be a big advocate of foam. After ripping out my share of waterlogged foam from many different boats I now prefer to use a sealed flotation compartment with some type of watertight hatch. That way you can access the area if need be. If you're worried about condensation an innertube or...

Yes it's pretty amazing. I found it the year I got married, and decided to build a duckboat after I nearly died using a Canoe on the Delaware bay in January! The boat and the marriage remain intact!😂

Wow, that is interesting. Interesting and sad. We are dealing with a similar situation in our coastal marshes in New Jersey. Especially on the Delaware bay where we have thousands upon thousands of acres of salt marsh. Even as little as 50 years ago there were brackish water ponds inside this...

Great history Vince. Thanks for sharing that. I can't wait to see what you create !

Thanks my friend! Yes it's definitely neat to do something different. End it actually continues a long tradition of making Flickr Decoys. The eastern shore of Maryland has had them for over a century, they were often put on telephone poles and shot during the fall for food. They call them...
