geeviam Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Found this cool article, from 2012, on the Skiff Republic website. It's an interview with Steve Huff, the legendary south Florida guide who also happened to be involved in many of the changes that created what we now think of as a modern technical poling skiff. In the comments section after the interview, there's also a link to an interview with Scott Deal on the startup and history of the Maverick Boat Group: http://skiffrepublic.com/interviews/skiff-republic-interview-steve-huff/ Audio on YouTube: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I love the story and learned some new things about the flats boats. I fished with Dr Lenny Berg who always spoke of Steve Huff with reverence. I have a 15ft HPXv and love it,especially since I fish solo a lot. It's a dream to pole and launch and retrieve solo. THX for sharing the article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Thanks for sharing! I see Capt Huff in the backcountry of the Glades several times each year. He’s a true pioneer of what I love to do. I cannot imagine the amazing tarpon stories he has. Legendary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
