Salt FRS-15 Build “Kestrel”

Starting my build of the Salt Boatworks FRS15, which I’m naming Kestrel (small bird of prey, sounded fitting!)

15’ long, 6 and a half inch draft. 5’4” beam, 700lb capacity. Going to use a 30hp tiller, center grab bar with cooler rack. Casting and poling platform. Otherwise keeping it simple for solo trips and the ability to keep it in the garage.

Yes, another Conchfish build. I helped my buddy Don last year with his build, which was one of the first Conchfish built I'm pretty sure. If I didn't already have 2 boats I'd be building myself one, but this one is for another friend, Scott. We started the first week of June, and made quick progress, but work and the 4th holiday slowed things down a bit. We have it ready for glass, but need a day when we both have nothing else going on, but should be fairly soon. Nothing written in...

Florida beaches covered in sea weed

Hey all, I just saw a news broadcast about the beaches being covered in sea weed. My question is, is there some alarming or non-alarming reason that all of this sea weed is being ripped from the sea floor in the first place? The report seemed to only be worried about how it might negatively affect tourism.

Dolphin Renegade rebuild

Bought a 2001 Dolphin Renegade project hull a few weeks ago, under the impression it just needed some cosmetic work (deck/cockpit gelcoat, etc). To make a rather long story short, I found out the next day after doing some sanding that it needed a lot more than cosmetics (I have a separate thread on here where I go into details about that, if you care to search it).

I found out the stringers were compromised and the hull had actually developed hairline stress cracks all the way through...

Skiff Camping Tent?

I’m looking for a well-made tent for skiff camping ENP(chickees and beach), 10K Islands, FL Keys, etc.

Those of you that have done this.....can you recommend a quality tent. I don’t mind spending the cheese for quality. As you know the tent must have the following qualities:

- no-see-um mesh on windows and doors
- ventilation
- waterproof/weatherproof
- relatively lightweight and compact

....and most importantly...

- must stand up to strong winds

I’ve done a lot of camping and...

FS17 build, Take 2, lol. As some of you guys know I ran into some trouble building my last strong back and frames. I had something off to where I couldn't line up the stringers correctly. This could be because I tried to modify the stringer height, or transom thickness. Either way it bothered me enough to where I just wanted to start over. I'm going to build the shell to plans then make some modifications after the hull is flipped over. I requested the last thread be deleted so guys don't...

Yes, another CF build thread! When will it end?!!?? I have joined the Conchfish Armada, the Morejohn Minions, the Homebuild Heritics..

I was not planning on posting a build thread because I felt I had no real value or knowledge to contribute BUT I quickly realized that I could help future builders out by sharing my dumb mistakes. First lesson learned: A router with a circular bitt can not cut a 90 deg corner. :)

Big thanks to guys like @Boatbrains...

Lagoon Skiff Tail Chaser Pro complete build. Picture heavy thread!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share the build I ordered from Lagoon Skiffs. The album I shared has photos of the entire build process of the boat. I ordered the Tail Chaser Pro model that came with a molded deck and many options. I've since had her on the water and she rides great through some chop, poles easily, and floats shallow. After some short wide open throttle burst with the 25hp motor it reached 30mph with just me and 27 with two people on gps. Skiff measures 14'10" with a 61"...

Conchfish 16 build.

Hey Guys,

This will be my first posts here on microskiff. I finally took the plunge and started building a Conchfish, and since everyone else is documenting their builds I thought why not. Well, feel free to comment with any ideas or recommendations.

In my Conchfish 16

I will be modifying the spray rails to look more like Chris's 10wt.
No liner to keep the hull as light as possible.
I will use...

I live in Nassau County- and have since 1993. I didn't realize there were so many fly guys on the forum from this area.

Just curious and looking to see who of my neighbors peruses the website.

Primarily fish for reds and trout in the area.... but more fishing than catching due to schedule and me bringing my 7 y.o with me.

With all the drama on some threads, I wonder what a Microskiff reality/soap opera show would look like? "As the Skiff Turns" "The Edge of Salt Marsh" "Captain for a Day" "The Young and the Fishless"

Winter/Spring Time Camping & Fishing

Hello All,

I wanted to flip something that I would like to do this winter/spring time (when the weather is cooler). I'd like to find a campground at a park that has some basic amenities and a boat ramp. The plan would be to camp out in a tent for a few days out of the week or weekend and fish, sight see and take in a new area and maybe get a group together. I would like to do this one or two times a year, if I'm solo, and even make my way up to Georgia one year.

Any recommendations of...

I haven't really kept up with all the boats currently being produced, but looking for some possible suggestions.

I am looking for a smaller boat. Nothing real fancy or elaborate.

My first thought is a 16 x 52-60inch Jon, but by the time I add power, trolling motor, and have a front deck, built up I am probably in the small skiff price range so just want to do my due diligence.

I am not looking to pole or be super stealthy. Just run a bow mounted trolling motor.

Main thing is stability,...

Since the thread "What's everyone catching?" is all the way over on the Fishing Reports forum, I thought it would be convenient for us fly fishermen/fisherpersons to have a running thread here on the Fly Fishing Forum on fish caught on fly only to see what everyone is catching lately.

Note: Ideal pic size for fast internet opening, especially on cell phones is 800-1024 dpi length. A little bigger wouldn't hurt tho. So resize them when possible.
