DOA Airhead Swim Baits
This twelve minute video by Captain Mark Nichols shows and tells you everything you need to know about the new Airhead swim bait by DOA Lures. In my humble opinion, the DOA Airhead is a true step forward in swim bait technology. It’s not just another variation on the same old theme. The Airhead […]
Okuma Trio Review
May 5, 2013
Comments Off
I recently acquired an Okuma Trio high-speed retrieve spinning reel, which I’ve fished with about 3 times now. The Trio is a GREAT VALUE, priced just under $100 and having everything an angler needs in a saltwater-safe medium-light to medium duty spinning reel! Okuma has come a loooooooooooooong way in the past couple of years, […]
Hydrowave: Banned Tech in Hunting Comes to Fishing
April 23, 2013

Everything on the battlefield is amplified by the always present threat of being maimed or killed. Going to the bathroom, eating breakfast, and taking a shower become important. Hell - drinking water becomes a matter of life or death in the here and now! As a warrior, you live like this 24/7/365.
Merry Christmas – Saltwater Style
December 24, 2012
Comments Off
When you live where it never snows and the economy and culture centers around saltwater fishing, so does Christmas. When one of the dominant features of the front of most of the homes in your neighborhood is a boat, it only makes sense to incorporate them into your Christmas decorations. Of course, some are more […]
The Best Paddle Can’t Fix This
December 17, 2012
Bending Branches pro staffer, Wade Harness, posted the following video to YouTube as an endorsement of the Bending Branches Angler Pro paddle. I wholeheartedly agree with his choice in kayak paddles. But look at what he has to say about his choice in kayaks: Hobie’s ‘Pro Angler’ tri-hull design, is the widest in its class […]
