Carl, is that what they commonly called Needlerush? There is a bunch of it on the Eastern shore where I Sika hunt. Tracking a deer through it or chasing rails can definitely get your attention. I'm always cognizant of not getting poked in the eye! As it is pretty sharp. Luckily in Jersey I've...

William, clappers can definitely be challenging. Even more so than Sora . They like to run a lot. I was out last week walking the Delaware Bay meadows with my dog. We flushed several and I managed the bag one. The best days I have had for clappers are walking to the old railroad grades along...

Steve. Great memories! Have the clappers made any type of come back on great South Bay? They are extremely abundant around Tuckerton and all throughout the New Jersey coastal marshes. There are very few people who Chase them. Sora are quite entertaining! And generally hard to see. I bet that...

Jeff, that painting is probably my favorite of the ones Eakins has done depicting Rail hunting. The bright yellow of the meadow captures perfectly a field of yellow flower, ( beggar's tick.) That Rail love so much. The frequent it as much as Rice. The original is at the Metropolitan in New York...

Thanks Mark. More to come!

Thanks Eric. I appreciate you checking it out. Definitely was time to modernize. I have lots of cool ideas for the blog too. I think you'll enjoy it.

Awesome! Exciting and good luck

Thanks! I love all our shorebirds, but the knots on the Delaware bay are spectacular in the spring. On the rail front, The first good tides of the month should hit this week.

Thanks Henry, glad you enjoyed it

My new website is just about finished. I thought some of the Duck boat members might enjoy reading the blog I am writing. Sometimes it is sales related, but most of the time it is just musings and stories I have experienced in the outdoors. Hence the name "The Meadows Edge. For those...

There are both. He made many hand carved wood flyers. At some point they took resin castings of them. They look identical but they are very different in terms of collectibility and pricing.

It does look like a classic Barnegat that was built out of Pennsylvania for many years. They may still be in business or the molds may have been bought by one of the other fiberglass producers from Ohio. They made a 12 foot and a 14 foot version. They were roughly based off of the Higbee box...

Yes. And I think it's great. Sites that have been around a long time carry a lot of weight in Google rankings. And that's a good thing! They treat long-standing sites as somewhat of an authority. As it should be.

Reminds me of JH Perinne. The rounded oarlock braces are throwing me though, maybe simonson whose lines echo perrine. .

I love it. If you could take a ride down to Tuckerton there's plenty of really nice white cedar both at the show and at several sawmills close by. I would definitely lean towards using the white cedar for the deck. Covered in glass after a good cleaning makes for a durable and beautiful boat...

I really like the old style Cabela's Windstopper wool. They can usually be had on eBay between $100 and $200. I like them so much I set up an alert and I try to pick them up whenever I can. I got a barely used mint dark green 100% wool this summer for 40 bucks! It's a heavy weight wool with a...

Thanks for that excellent write up! I love the Smokies. And spent a fair bit of time just across the border on the North Carolina side. It's one of my favorite places in the world. I echo your comments about Rain. I spent a week there in May. The best day we fished poured rain. We found a hole...

One thing I found to be helpful as far as seating goes. You either want to be braced high up, like the gunnels. Some sort of suspended chair running from edge to edge. Or if it's on the floor you want to have it secured tightly somehow. ( Screwed to your removable flooring etc.) I've had one...

Looks great on the water
