This shallow water F4 hull was designed to obtain optimal performance from a surface-drive motor such as a Mud Buddy. The F4’s slick bottom glides over skinny water, logs, mud and vegetation with ease and with the least bit of resistance. The tapered chine provides unparalleled turning capabilities.
The F4 step-deck allows you to effortlessly climb in-and-out of the boat and serves as a vantage point for your retriever. This innovative step deck introduced by Excel's owner over 18 years ago with the Mud Buddy MR-18 Mallard with hunt deck, started the shallow water boat step deck revolution and has set the standard for all high-end shallow water duck boats.

From several images stitched together, this photograph from Caddo Lake shows the last traces of a beautiful June sunset. The cypress were still and the critters in the trees were beginning to make some noise. This image was captured from a duckblind accessible only by boat. It was a nice evening.

This session started out with a visit to the northeast corner of Salt Pond A21 where I have been taking a series of photographs documenting that pond’s progress since its connection to the tides in 2006. After a few shots there and over Drawbridge, I moved on to Salt Pond A23.
Salt Pond A23 is a disused salt pond located just north of Station Island. The pond, which is not regularly connected to tidal flow, has a relatively high load of residual salt. I can always count on A23 to present the vibrant colors associated with high salinity. It is also a good pond for ground textures in its bottom and along its salt-encrusted shoreline. The pond gains water from precipitation during our rainy season and then dries out during our rainless summers. On this occasion, the brine in Salt Pond A23 was colorful indeed and once again I got a bit giddy with the hues and bottom texture. The high-salinity brine that fills this pond seems to resist the small surface ripples produced by wind. While the winds during this session were quite variable, ranging from 5 to 15 mph, the surface of A23 stayed mirror-like for much of the session producing some pleasant visual effects as the sunset.
I continued north after shooting A23 to take photographs of Salt Pond A22. This pond borders the Warm Springs Seasonal Wetland, an interesting landscape of hummocks and vernal pools that hosts endangered flora and aestivating salamanders. I find A22 intriguing because you can see vestigial mounds that I think were once hummocks lie those in Warm Springs. On the other hand, A22 also harbors manmade mounds built for duck hunters. These typically have two wooden barrel-like structures dug into the mound to hide the hunters during their pre-dawn quest. Also evident in the A22 photographs are the remnants of early 19th Century levees, small constructs that enclosed small ponds.

The pond gains water from precipitation during our rainy season and then dries out during our rainless summers. On this occasion, most of the brine in Salt Pond A23 had evaporated leaving behind a dry pond bottom featuring salt, gypsum, and the bones of thousands of deceased birds.
I launched the camera on the west end of the levee that separates Salt Ponds A23 and A22. Unlike its neighbor to the south (A23), Salt Pond A22 never seems to accumulate much water and presents a dirtier, dustier pond bottom at this time of year. As I walked eastward along the levee I encountered a pair of duck blinds in A22 and photographed them. The rest of the session was devoted to pond bottom colors and textures.
