I just use an 8 foot push pole and I give about 8 to 10 foot of slack on the rope bridle. As the tide recedes the boat usually follows the tide line as long as there is ample water underneath. This is what I do also, keep it simple. As far as I'm concerned the less stuff in the boat the better...

Don't tell me you are surprised

I think I've seen these in the past somewhere is some catalog. But you are a pretty handy guy, and if you built yourself a lightweight aluminum frame that folded up, Diane could make you the outside and you would have something nice that will last until you aren't using it. I would think about a...

This is another really great looking boat. I wish I was a woodworker like you guys, but I so enjoy seeing what everyone is doing and learning about the hiostory and lineage of these boats, where they are from, who built them, who owned them. I envision the document residing somewhere in a...

Looks great John!

These are really nice. There was one in Dividing creek years ago a guy I knew had, but he wasn't a sneakbox guy, used it very little, and I think it went the way of the dinosaur. Glad you have this one Bob!

I second this motion! I have two canvas bags that are approaching 20 years old, they are as good as new. Don't bother with anything else.

I have a fun method of taking the husks off. I step on them and roll them under my feet (wearing a pair of ankle length LL Bean boots) then use rubber gloves to pick up the nuts. Works pretty good and keeps my hands from being dyed for weeks. I like to get at them within a day or two of them...

One of the things I like to do in the fall is gather some black walnuts, clean and dry them, and crack them over the winter to eat. I prefer black walnuts to english walnuts for flavor. They are everywhere in the southern half of NJ, so finding plenty of nice ones is not problem except in a low...

Hey Steve-why don't you explain what the coaming is and means and why it is there, Nancy may not be familiar with that term.

That is so true and might be their best song ever, I still like to listen to it

Nice pa'tridge

I think we should go back to that. Every once in a while, and after the hunting season is over, I'll do a preserve shoot with a friend who is a very well known and accomplished breeder and trainer of Brittany Spaniels in south Jersey. One year I wore a tweed sportcoat and was the hit of the...

I'm glad you both enjoyed the video. I was not looking for a beach roller video, it was something that just came up and about fishing. But I had read the roller thread, and it was of interest to me because these were used on the New Jersey beaches quite a bit in earlier times to launch boats...

Here are some in action circa 1930's Lake Superior about 9 minutes in, pretty cool boats too.

A dugout duck boat!

Looking good Richard, like the design

Yukon Mike had great stories of wolves and snow

D Hinton, not sure anybody ever will top that story

Eric-this is very similar, if not the same, that the Camp's, whom I have hunted with, use, and they are from the Maurice(that's pronounced like More-iss, not like a French guy)
