Here we call then Big Head catfish, big ones can be found in November at river estuaries, up to 10kg.

Hi, The books quote said dump hot water. It´s way different than steam. In stemming you let wood cooking for a long time (the rule is about 1 hour per square inch section) and it becomes really soft. In photo I posted earlier, I bent 1x2 inch, but using 6 strips laminate and took 40min of steam. Dum...

Hi, I did it in a canoe. You steam, bend it, let it dry for a week or more, then glue with epoxy. It´s holding after 10 year. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/q8B0QfJ44dkFnRdmVlpt6_7YskpzfHDO29wv-GibEJcGfXxQEWuqa4yBNgJedqOyYmb3QWB6VkYD-iLTEmdtEObESaFHIRw_cQEkuPVDnfIJU2U_vEz3zPw4I9rrQzL1U6qqZdvrfjca...

Hi,

I went in 30 feet charter boat, old, but confortable to fish. I like Yellowtail too, good for sashimi or grill.

Hi Folks, This weekend I went to PMLZ-1 oil rig, 100NM from Sao Paulo coast. Long trip, high seas and short time to fish due to weather changes, but we got some Yellowtail amberjacks (Seriola Lalandi) in speed jigging and Red porgy in slow jig. https://i.imgur.com/3TmRbs3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6kH...

The first board has 3 coats of white, looks gray in the shades. The others has 4 or 5 coats

I can mix some black in it to make it gray, it accepts water based tints.

Thanks for the hints!

I´m testing a rubberized paint used in car´s ...

Hi, Sorry for your lost, it will be a great tribute to your sister. You can lift the boat with hydraulic jack, support it with temporary frames and slide the trailer understand it easily, I did it to remove a broken trailer from a 28 footer. After saw you using bed liner I'm considering use it too. ...

Nice work!
