Mick, Thanks for all the info! You even qouated yourself. That's cool. I will look into these reels more and see if it's something I might want to use. I think we are alike in our passion for fishing no matter what gear we are using! To that I say CHEERS my friend and happy fishing :wink: Chad

This my firend is why you are going to be a natural with a fly rod and reel. The spool on a fly reel has a very loose drag for the most part unless you want to tighten it down, you PALM the reel the same way you discribed and you can also let line spool off if you need to let them run. The shock...

Mick, Sorry for not responding sooner but I was trout fishing with my oldest son before he goes back to college. Mate those reels are facinating and I can't believe I have never put my eyes on one before now. It sounds like you are very passionate about them and you have peaked my curiousity...

Hey catfish, Mick pretty well coverd it with the links. You just gotta be in salt or brakish waters at low tide. You would have to drive a fare piece from Jessup to get yabbies. They would be great for bass or cats if you could get them alive but mudbugs will do just about the same. Mick that...

P4R's, I hope you pass the flask if I ever meet up with you! I'm guessing it has gentelmen's or single barrel in it of course. I also like a good single malt like The Macalan in my flask. Nice work on the kayak! 8)

Mick, Once Again your trip reports are fabulous! I love seeing your favorite places to paddle. Those yabbies sound very much like the ghost shrimp we used to pump the very same way at low tide, and your right they were deadly to the stripers and occasionally a big sturgeon. We would wade out...

Wow ORR, you must have some long legs. It just looks smaller in the photo, but in fact it's a bit longer than mine. Good for you taking your daughter with you! They grow up in such a hurry. I have to agree with Jack, before you know it they just want the car keys and some space from the parental...

ORR, I agree with Yaker. You set some kind of record. The boat looks awesome and you should be proud. I'm sure she will give you many happy outings. How about some stats on the boat? She looks to be a little shorter than mine. How does she handle? Good luck and happy boating! :wink: Chad

Papa, That is one sweet looking cedar strip pirogue. :shock: You won't have to worry about termites makin supper out of her. She is gorgous, well done! Paddlin4reds, I made the seat in the stock formation and love it, although like Papa did I almost wish I would have left out the bottom slat...

G'day Mick, That is one big canoe that I'm sure you can handle no problem. Your right about the lines, She's a beaut! I'm sure Robin will give you a boost to car top or are you gonna trailer that hawg? Can't wait to see the build piccies. Please keep us posted. Chad

Hey Ron, I just got home from vacation and was catching up here. That boat came out great and just as you promised she's stable as well. Way to go, I appreciate the pics of you standing in her and have obtained a much better relationship with my boat as well and have even stood up in her a few...

Ron, Man that looks like fun! You got out on a great day and the water looks perfect for paddling. Great pics of a great day. That other boat your friend had is also very nice. Chad

Mick, That is some serious good looking glass. Looks like you guys made the best of the already great conditions. Sometimes it's not the fishing but the journey. Good on ya. Thank You for the great pics. Chad

Zeb,That looks like a great to spend the day with your daughter and friends. Sounds like fun was had by all. Thanks for sharing. Chad

Ron, That is a slick idea for the luan. I gotta echo what Mick said, you are gonna love paddling that boat. It looks great and you should be proud for sure. Have fun and keep us posted!

Ron, I love the way she came out. You do great work. How about some demensions on her? The sidewalls look a bit shallow but with the tumblehome that should work good. I am waiting patiently for your first wetting. What kind of seat are you planning on using? The wood is real nice is it mahogany...

Frankly Bear, P-nut budda is good with most anything accept for James Carville or Rosie O'Donnel. I also like natural or just crushed nuts style too, but I'm a Skippy guy from way back. I also love almond budda and make a great hummus from tahini paste. Which is just smashed sesameeeee seeds...

Last time I shot a buttermilk flap jack, it was sitting right next to a buckwheat pancake! A tough decision lay ahead of me. Do I go for the great taste of the buttermilk or lay waste to the buckwheat which is better for me? The buttermilk taste soooooooo good!! Hmmmm Bye the way the buckwheat...

WOW Guys :shock: That is another awesome looking boat. I think you should ship it to all the members here and let them all give it a good test. :lol: Like a community boat you just pass on to the next paddler when your done testing. I'm sure that's not possible but it would be fun to paddle...

Ron I was wondering how the Texas pirogue was coming along. Sounds like you took care of that little problem and are back on the right track. I can't wait to see the finished boat and hear your thoughts on testing.
