    Boat & Camper Setup, Trip to Big Lake, AZ w/ My Son!

    The difference in temperature is influenced a great deal by the amount of concrete and asphalt in greater Phoenix where the peak temperatures are not in the early afternoon but at 10 PM. We have friends who are retired and live there but I cannot understand why. I like the way you setup the...

    Bose Anyone?

It is good if you don't care about price and want to avoid shopping around for similar products that work equally well but are half the price, i.e. it is usually safe to buy Bose.

I also want to be able to stop the vehicle...

    The truth about Bait casters

    When trolling a conventional reel with a line counter makes it a lot easier to be at the depth you want where the fish are more likely to be hanging. There is also no memory effect as with line on a spinning reel. It is not an either or situation as both have their strengths and weaknesses. I...

    Optima Battery Choice
