Grizzly Sunglasses Review

by Leave a 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

Product Reviews for members by the members is what we really like and want here on TinBoats.net.

This Review was done by TinBoats member Onthewater102 as I asked how he liked the Piscifun Phantom reel he talked about on the forum.… ...Read More

Throwing a Jig

by Leave a Comment

There is no technique I want to learn more than throwing a Jig. This technique is a curse for me and no matter how much time I dedicate to it, I just don’t “get it”.  What am I missing? I don’t know. I will tell you what though, I have secured a private lesson with one of the best Jig experts out there and his name is Bill Quattrucci, owner of Bico… ...Read More

Lake Side Lodge and Marina

by Leave a Comment

The time has finally arrived. Tomorrow is our first trip back to Lakeside Lodge and Marina. It has been at least 10 years and this won’t happen again. If you have never fished Lake Cobbosseecontee, you don’t know what you are missing. This is your typical bass fishery with largemouth and smallmouth bass, and some monster pickerel to name a few. 50+fish… ...Read More

Lowrance Elite-7 Ti

by Leave a Comment

This is it, I think I have narrowed down my decision and I will be buying the Lowrance Elite-7 Ti for the dash of my boat. I was going back and forth between this and the Hook-7 but after a little convincing from the Tinboats members (it didn’t take much) they convinced me the right thing to do was save up the additional $75-$100 and get better features and functionality.… ...Read More

RS Nets Platinum Small Jaw Landing Net

by Leave a Comment

I picked up a new toy I’ve wanted for a long time and finally pulled the trigger on it. I purchased an RS NETS Platinum Small Jaw landing net, and this thing is a beast. I spoke to the owner Roman Schlabach directly because I wasn’t sure what exactly what model I wanted. I mostly fish on my boat, and I mostly target Bass, both Largemouth and Smallmouth bass… ...Read More
