Pickerel catching machine

[Megabyte]

Well not really...
The owner of this restored 1956 Harkers Island posted these photos to ClassicParker and I thought she would make the perfect pickerel stalker in the Severn tribs.

What do you guys think?





Check out the deadrise... Think she could get into some skinny water?

Hi Kevin -

That is a nice looking ride. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Nice boat, but a "perfect" Severn Pickerel chasing machine is apparently either a classic Whaler or a glitter boat.

I disagree:
Perfect pickeral boat is a kayak
Quiet
Quiet
Quiet
Shhhhhh

that's a classic looking skiff
Hard to beleive that painted waterline is where she really floats though.

Perfect pickeral boat is a kayak

No argument there!

I'm pretty sure that the blue bottom isn't anti-fowling paint. That boat lives on the trailer
I believe that the 2-tone paint job is for visual effect.

Kevin,

When I saw the title of your thread I was hoping you were refering to yourself! The tournament has been a little slow so far! :-)

Definitely a sweet ride! That would be perfecr for this time of year!

.A wood boat is a very quiet way to sneak up on them.In the 40s & 50s,When trolling for pike in wood rowboats(oar power) tidal rivers was popular,my father in law would tell me stories of rowing around creeks with 2 rods astern with bobbers,spreader bars & minnows to catch them with..To keep warm,they'd drink wine & eat hot peppers.
