Below is Thomas running the TN River in my Devlin Broadbill built in 2000.

Great thread and pictures, I also enjoy seeing the different styles of boats.

Looks good! As to having to drag/push a sneakbox through the mud... been there, done that, got the souvenir mug...

The best is when you misjudge the tide not only have to pull off the bank, but then don't have enough water in the channel to pole or scull the boat back to deep water.

I recall an epic half mile slog towing the boat through thick muck with the skeg dragging the whole way when the low tide ended up about 8" lower than predicted.

Blowout tides have ruined many a waterfowlers day! I had one time as a youngster with my dad out in Unit 2 in Brigantine where we misjudged a tide on the large flat we were gunning. Had to remove the outboard from the southbay boat and push/pull 200+ yards out to the ICW and then go back for the motor... we still talk about that one.

Nice Rigs fellas, thanks for all the pics. Enjoyed them. Makes me want to go hunting
