Great photo essay Anthony

Now isn't that the truth? Merry Christmas!

That is a great looking dog Todd! He looks like he has a great personality, good spark in the eyes, happy, eager and having fun. You guys will make a great team.

Mike-the Susquehanna River is also a place that has scull boats like your yours, as does the tidal Delaware near me. There are still a few people around that do it. And there are a few people on Duckboats that do also. They have all probably been out hunting, tis' the season in these parts.

Steve got you pretty right on those descriptions and was quite generous in using my name. I am neither a boat builder nor have any carpentry skills, but I do love sneak boxes and there have been many really great small builders in this area from the time of the original design and forward. As he...

Pretty cool right there!

So Bob, this was the gunning club that was on Cedar Bonnet?

I think you are seeing some legalese from one of them and not the other. The last sentence is the most important, which is why it is placed there.

That is a nice bonus bird for northern states. We rarely see blue-wings in Jersey during the season, the first part of which starts 3rd week of October. If you go out in the marshes in September you sometimes see them before they move on. I don't think we see a lot this far east as a rule.

I don't have anything specific to offer other than you have plenty of time for that dog to adjust to you and it's new life. Don't be in a hurry and try and force it because it will come in due time with kindness and encouragement.

Back to Filson. Someone made a comment about how that company had sold out. The conversation Eric recounted made me think about bots and stuff that companies use all of the time now. I don't know if that is the case, but the result was the same. It's like calling someplace and the customer...

Bob-I think you should do a boat of the month post. Tell us about each one. Keep us going almost two years.

I too did some ice fishing in north Jersey when I was a teenager. We caught beautiful yellow perch that averaged 10"s, and sometimes larger. But here in south Jersey, we rarely get the hard freeze you need to get good ice. Nothing beats panfish for eating.

Bob- you have a great collection and I always enjoy seeing photo's of your various craft.

Remember Todd, the runt of the litter may have been fertilized later and a been few days younger than his siblings, and that may be why he was smaller at birth. Maybe one of the vets here will chime in on this. But glad to hear you have found a new dog. I wish you many happy days together.

Excellent reply Steven, had it been directed at me I would have said same! Glad to see you here.

Way to go Todd

Great news Todd, good luck tomorrow and I'm sure it will work out. Glad you're getting a dog.

We have a lot of Atlantic Brant in New Jersey along the coast in the barrier island bays, which are many and are along pretty much the entire coastal portion of the state. A large portion of the population winters here. Many on here have and/or do hunt brant in NJ. The populations change from...

Great to have you here Bob! Can't wait to see what you build.
