The Ultimate Jig fishing combo

by Leave a Comment

I think I have put together the ultimate jig fishing combo. This is my combo. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my combo is useless. Without my combo, I am useless. If you know where I got that from, we can be friends. One thing I must confess is that I’m not really a good jig fisherman, as… ...Read More

Gator Trax Strike Series

by Leave a Comment

This is an awesome boat! The Gator Trax Strike Series of boats are truly machines. I would love to get my hands on this one and take it for a ride. There is something to be said about truly building a custom boat your way. It will happen for me, one day. I’ve always wanted a Tin Boat with a 250 on the back. Stop by the Gator Trax website and check them out. (adsbygoogle… ...Read More

Grizzly Sunglasses Review

by 1 Comment

This is a quick and dirty Grizzly sunglasses review. It’s strange how some things come about. I was spending time researching sunglasses online. That’s what I normally do before I buy something. I ended up liking the Grizzly Fishing page on Facebook because they started popping up on my feed. It’s funny how that works, seems they are always… ...Read More

East Brimfield Lake

by Leave a Comment

We ventured off to East Brimfield Lake in Brimfield, Massachusetts for a day of fishing and boating. We picked a perfect day to go out on and do this. I have never been to this lake before but promised myself I would get to it this year after passing by going to the really popular Brimfield Antique Flea Market. The lake is right on Route 20 and so is the Long Pond boat launch.… ...Read More

Wiley X WX Compass sunglass review

by Leave a Comment

Wiley X has a new model sunglass out called the WX compass. I first saw the WX compass at ICAST 2019 in the new product showcase. If you have never been to ICAST then you probably are not familiar with the “new product showcase“. The new product showcase is one section that is cornered off and manufacturers display the latest gear, apparel, and accessories,… ...Read More

Lock N’ Stow

by Leave a Comment

I purchased a Lock N’ Stow for my boat and finally had a chance to put it on to see if it would actually fit. The particular Lock N’ Stow I purchased from Amazon was the model 10108. I was hoping it would be a solid fit for my 115 HP Mercury outboard, and it was. The unit is small and solidly built. To me, this was worth the $66 dollars. Lock N’ Stow To be… ...Read More

DOOMSDAY D-HOP 75

by 5 Comments

Well, well, well, what do we got going on over here? Nothing really, just my first look at the DOOMSDAY D-Hop 75 frog from Doomsday Tackle. If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with topwater frog fishing. I didn’t say I was good at it, but I will say it is an exciting way to fish for bass. The thrill of having a fish blow up the surface of the water and inhale… ...Read More

First Look: Lund 2075 Pro V Bass

by Leave a Comment

I went to a local boat show to check out the new Lund 2075 Pro V Bass. To be honest, that’s the only reason I went. I knew Hank’s Marine was rigging one up for a local Pro-staffer and that it would be at the show. Right up front let me tell you that the Lund 2075 Pro V Bass is the ultimate aluminum bass boat. In my opinion, all other aluminum bass boats should… ...Read More

First look: Vexus AVX 1880

by 6 Comments

I attended the New England Fishing Expo this past February not expecting to see a Vexus AVX 1880 at the show. My first look at the Vexus AVX 1880 left me mostly impressed, but was it perfect? There has been a big buzz with Vexus as of last year when they introduced a brand new revolutionary aluminum bass boat at the Classic last year. It was touted to be the aluminum boat… ...Read More
