Environmental Stewardship, you can do better!

by 1 Comment

Environmental stewardship needs to become a focal point in the fishing industry. I have a little bit of a bone to pick with some bait companies that are not being good stewards of our environment. I feel it’s their responsibility to lead by example as millions of customers buy their products.  Now, I’m going to come right out and say I’m not… ...Read More

Romoss Sense 8 Review

by Leave a Comment

It’s not too often I endorse a product, but one I will stand behind is the Romoss Sense 8 power bank. If you’re looking for a portable power bank charger to charge your electronics, this is the one to buy. The Romoss Sense 8 will charge your phone and most electronics multiple times on a single charge.  The biggest reason I bought this charger is that it can power my… ...Read More

RA Baits

by Leave a Comment

One of my new goto little bait makers RA Baits has built a shopping website. Now instead of trying to contact them over a social media platform, you can buy directly from their website. What’s cool is that you have the option of standard colors or custom colors with no additional charge. That’s what I’m talking about. The website is simple to… ...Read More

Minn Kota Raptor

by Leave a Comment

Have you seen or read about the new Minn Kota Raptor? For some reason it looks awfully familiar, like I have seen this before in the past. It’s sort of like a surface tablet and an iPad. They look the same, act the same, both have pluses and minuses, but the reality is that one is late to the game. They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Is this the case… ...Read More

Piedmont Custom Fab

Do yourself a favor and check out Piedmont Custom Fab if you’re looking for custom boat fabrication. He will do custom work on your aluminum boat at an excellent rate. I would jump all over this. I don’t have the talent, time, space, or tools to do this professional level of work. Honestly, sometimes it’s best to leave it to the professionals,… ...Read More

Hydro-Turf, The Carpet Alternative

by 2 Comments

Instead of carpeting your boat, you might want to consider Hydro-Turf. Hydro-Turf is the carpet alternative I’m going to choose when I modify my next boat. The beauty of Hydro-Turf is you can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on the front or rear deck, on your seat benches, or if you feel like going all out, you can do the whole boat. Hydro-Turf Why would… ...Read More

Fishing Gloves

by Leave a Comment

I burnt my hands to a crisp in Mexico and when I got back I purchased a pair of Filthy Anglers Fingerless Fishing Gloves. The sun is no joke, but I’m done with sunscreen. I don’t want to have to remember to keep applying sunscreen every few hours. I just don’t care for it on my skin while I’m fishing. Call me paranoid. What I was looking for… ...Read More

Quabbin Reservoir Fishing

by 2 Comments

If you love fishing, then you need to add Quabbin Reservoir Fishing to your bucket list. Back in the day, we fished Quabbin from boats that we could rent, fun times for sure. My goal is to get back out there with someone who knows what they are doing, and maybe then I can catch some decent fish. If you decide you want to get out to the Quabbin reservoir, click the link… ...Read More

Girl Power

This is awesome! I came across a video online of this young lady who just purchased a 14ft aluminum boat. The smile on her face says it all. It’s not too often that we see girls buying boats and putting out videos, so this makes it even cooler! Valentina Elliot, if you read this, you are awesome! Good luck with your new boat. I wish you joy and happiness with your… ...Read More
