Peacock Bass Fishing in PR

by Leave a Comment

The better half and I went Peacock Bass Fishing in Puerto Rico. We were super satisfied with Captain Paco and his guide service at Peacock Bass and Tarpon Tours. We will call on him again to do a guided Tarpon trip next time we go to Puerto Rico. We were on fish as soon as we got to the prime areas on the water and it was non-stop action all day long. We caught many species… ...Read More

17 lb Largemouth Bass on a Swimbait

by 2 Comments

Where can you catch a 17 lb Largemouth Bass on a swimbait? California if you put your time, research, and effort into it. This is a fish of a lifetime. My goal is to break the 10 lb mark. I doubt it will happen, but I will die trying. Looks to be on a Tin also. Take the 5 minutes and watch the video. Does this not want to make you go fishing right now?… ...Read More

Retractable Anchor pole

by 1 Comment

TinBoats member Frank R made his own Retractable Anchor pole and it came out awesome. What is cool about this, is that you can make one too for under $100. Lots of you guys like the idea of crafting your own things, so this might interest you. What I like about Frank R’s video is he shows you what he made, what he was thinking, and ideas for improvement if you decide… ...Read More

Cedar Strip Canoe build

by 2 Comments

I know it’s not a Tin boat, but this is awesome. Building a Cedar Strip Canoe takes some skill for sure. The end result is a bad ass canoe. I would love to have one of these canoes because it reminds me of Northern Maine and the loons on quiet mornings. Take a few minutes to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyGyLf4Ltf4… ...Read More

Eagle Lodge and Camps

by 1 Comment

I decided it was time to take my son on a true Maine fishing experience and while doing some research, I came across Eagle Lodge and Camps based out of Lincoln, Maine. I was looking for something rustic with a feel of “yesteryear” but with the added benefits of comfort, some modern amenities, cleanliness, and convenience. This is exactly what I found… ...Read More

RTIC 20 Review

by 6 Comments

I am going to start out by saying I love my RTIC 20 cooler. For that reason I am going to do this really short RTIC 20 review. For my birthday my family decided to buy me an RTIC 20 knowing full well I wanted one, but I was just too cheap to pull the trigger myself.  The RTIC 20 is the smallest cooler of the RTIC line and retails for $125. If you are familiar with these kinds… ...Read More

Kipawa Trolling Motor Propeller Review

by 3 Comments

TinBoats member RiverBottomOutdoors did a review of the Kipawa trolling motor propeller he purchased. This is a real review and not a paid endorsement. So remember, this is his opinion and findings. I literally cut and paste what he wrote on the forum which can be found here. I recently replaced my POS Motorguide 24V 75# Varimax with a Minn Kota 24V 80# Maxxum.… ...Read More

I am not sure if there is anything special about this battery, but it’s on sale so that brings it to the top of my list. Something else I noticed while surfing the Cabelas website was that the AGM battery gets mostly great reviews. Since this battery is the only thing that is… ...Read More
