NOCO Boost Review

by 4 Comments

I finally got around to using my battery jump starter, and this will be my NOCO Boost Review. I posted an article when I first purchased the NOCO GB30 stating that I would do a review once I got to put it to the test. You can read that blurb if you feel like it here. I want to start off by saying that I’m a little paranoid and a really bad “prepper”. But… ...Read More

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

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

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

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
