16.7 was the low for the polar vortex in Hattiesburg. Had to cover the satsumas. Quite a job as they have gotten big since the last time I had to cover them a couple of years back. It was 11 degrees 2 nights in a row in Arkansas. I haven't been back up there yet hoping my camper is not...

The Kara is surprisingly stable. It's nothing like a canoe or even a john boat. In South Louisiana we use pirogues, and skinny guys can stand in them and pole. I can't, not without swamping them, and I grew up fooling around in them. I stand up in a Kara and pole it without a second thought...

Use those gizzards to bait your jug lines. Talk about catch some big catfish. They like the guts even better. I never had a Poules d'eau jambalaya; I bet it's good. Ed.

I lay down in the Kara with the dog behind me, inside the cockpit. There is just enough room. The divider between the dog and myself is a 2x4 that fits into the blind I have on the boat, it crosses the cockpit from port to starboard, and my headrest hangs on the 2x4. I have used a kayak...

I got these for Christmas, and I love 'em. Again I don't have to deal with the very cold temps ya'll have up north, but my hands are actually hot wearing these. I wear a size 8 1/2 glove and I got the 2XL and they fit just right. They are not waterproof, but they still seems to be warm after...

If Rain-X is toxic, I'm a dead man. I don't have to deal with extremely low temps, but it works when the call starts to squeak and not blow right, and it's a good for prevention of that problem. I keep some in my blind bag and use it most hunts. It also helps to wash out the call with soap...

I was growing up in South Louisiana back in the day when alligators were on the threaten or endangered list. We use to go frogging quite often and alligators are very easily spotted at night as they have red eyes and nothing else does. We would see hundreds if not thousands of them every night...

Dang. I thought it was cold up in Arkansas. Ed.

The Communist Broadcasting System? They purposely put out left wing, anti gun, anti hunter, anti rural America, anti traditional American propaganda every day. It's what they do. They want you unarmed and defenseless for when the day comes that the SHTF. They're laughing at your letter. Ed.

Yeah. This is the book I read before I built the Peregrine. Now designing a boat and learning how to do it is a heck of a lot harder than building a boat. It took me a couple of years to design the Peregrine. I built several models and tested them first. You can build a Kara in 3 or 4...

I've been very frustrated this season and last trying to kill ducks in soybean fields. I had figured out how to murder them in rice fields, as I made a blind for the Kara that absolutely disappeared in rice stubble. Bean fields have got nothing at all you can hide in. Or so I thought anyway...

Remembered wrong! 12 oz biaxial on the bottom of the Peregrine: http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/edaskew/peregrine.html 6 oz biaxial with 3.5 oz tightweave on the bottom of the Karas: http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/edaskew/sneakboat2.html I can't even edit these websites anymore. Forgot my...

No. I see now it's called "Locktite PL brand Premium Polyurethane Construction Adhesive". They have it at Lowe's. http://www.lowes.com/pd_100575-69-1335944_0__?productId=3048733&Ntt=glue&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dglue&facetInfo= Which boat do you mean, Britt? Honestly I'd have to Google my...

Avoid Gorrilla Glue. It works great initally and will last a few years, then becomes brittle and the bonds break. The best is thickened epoxy, but it's a pain to mix it up, thicken it, clamp it and wait as long as you need to wait to use it for anything but boat building. If I were buidling a...

Amen, Worth. Ed.

I don't care for the show and I think it's amazing all the merchandizing going on with that thing. The show is garbage. I don't understand why it is they are so popular. The fact that it is so popular has a lot to say about the dumbing down of America and the poor quality of modern...

Hey Carl you ever run up into that area inside of Pascagoula? I have folks who don't hunt ducks (they go down there to catch catfish) tell me there's ducks up in there. Have never checked it out. Thinking of getting my Peregrine out of mothballs and running up that way instead of going to...

When I was a kid I would just about get my limit of both poules d'eau and gallinules every hunt. I hunted this one place which was unusual in that I could walk the marsh. Most of that freshwater marsh down there in Terrebonne Parish is floatant and you can't walk it. This was some relatively...

The only thing that makes a better gumbo than poule d'eau is gallinule. Ed.

Yeah Jeff but we're not Koreans, Egyptians, or Syrians. We're Americans. Our people have never taken a bunch of BS from tyrants. Freedom is our birthright. We should not tolerate this. I promise you all this was thought up by Federal worker's union leaders. In response to their actions...
