Rockport Fisherman Steals Pushpole from Disabled Kayaker
September 28, 2012
To the weak POS fisherman in the powerboat who stole my 12′ carbon fiber 2pc pushpole from behind the attorney’s house on Ocean Drive off the ICW in Rockport yesterday: some of us EARN the things we have, but still aren’t too attached to them. So I hope you really enjoy that pushpole you just […]

Bending Branches Angler Pro Kayak Paddle Review
April 30, 2012
Let me explain how I generally work with manufacturers when I review their equipment. They send it. I use it for awhile. If I am impressed with it enough that I want to add it to my primary gear, then I will review it and keep it. If I am impressed enough that I think it is good for some folks, but not really what I want for some reason, then I will usually review it and send it back if they want it back. If not, I will sell it. If I do not like it, I will almost never write the review. Now, if the product (or service) is a rip-off I will write that review. That is the risk companies take and they know it. Yes, they often get upset and they'll never deal with me again. Big deal. They aren't worthy anyway. Some have actually had very good attitudes about it and made huge changes as a result of my feedback. One company went out of business after a major big box retailer cancelled a contract for 40,000 units of their product after reading my review. I had declared...honestly...that I believed their product was hazardous to the public. They threatened to sue me - but I gave up waiting to be served the papers about a decade ago.
