New radar takes worry out of being close
Jokes about small-boat radars have historically run rampant: “Did you know you can either run radar on your bass/bay boat OR have children later in life?” and “I like having radar on my 18-foot boat. On cold days it keeps my head warm!” are two of my favorites, but they go on and on. […]

It’s still fun whether fish bite or not
“Y’all having fun, yet?”
