I thought it was illegal for a business to hold credit card information. I know some websites that I buy from give you the option to save the number if you buy from them frequently such as Amazon but I dont think they can just do it automatically. There again I am not a business owner but ran a...

Thats the other thing I dont get is fishing from the boat ramp. EVERY ramp I have ever been to has a sign up saying not to do it but people do it anyway. When you say something to them they get all defensive and up in your face, really??? Its like they are there just to start ****.

That handicap ramp is cool. Nice that they have something like that. Yeah, I dont want to sound like all of them are a pain. I have seen my share of boaters that do the same thing with dilly dallying. When I first got my boat I would take days off during the week when no one was there and...

I get it with the kayakers, when I had to quit fishing for health reasons back in the day there were boat ramps at several of the little rivers we use to go to. When I got back into it a few years back I went to these places after getting my jon boat only to find they had filled in the ramps and...

Thanks for the link, will definitely read that later. I have a whistle on my jon and a manual pump horn for my plastic pontoon but recently seen a video of a guy who installed a car horn on his plastic boat never though to do that but think I may.

Here in VA we are not required to take a course unless you run an above 9.9 horse power outboard, which I dont but lately been thinking it wouldnt hurt to take one.

I haven't been boating long, compared to alot of other folks but am I wrong in thinking that there is some kind of "boating etiquette" as to passing other boaters that are stationary, or fishing or kayakers, canoers in a manner that you should slow down as to not create a wake. Or am I just...

After getting my knees replaced 8 years ago. I got back into fishing. Before that I could hardly stand. I never owned a boat but started looking for a jon boat. Took me 2 years to actually find someone that had a boat and trailer that had titles to them and being in a budget made it even...

My 1973 14' Desoto. Picture when first bought and now.

Yep, sucks, with that being said I have learned to cook chicken, seafood and emu 1,000 different ways, LOL!

I use a Harbor Freight Viking 4 Amp Charger/Maintainer. One for each boat. I keep them on all year round. I have 2 leads run in parallel in each boat. I do test them all separately at the end of the season and beginning of the season. I check the voltage, load, specific gravity and water levels...

When my dad was alive he had to start taking vitamin C. Mosquitos never came near him after. I use Avon Skin So Soft Tick n Mosquito repellant. I got bite by a tick 9 years ago and contracted Alpha Gal Syndrome. Ruined my life. Be careful with ticks cause you don't want to get that.

I got all my Ugly Sticks back in the 80s and still use them to this day. Not sure about now but they use to have a lifetime warranty. Ill never forget the first time I bought mine I went to the store asked the clerk where they were he showed me and I picked one up and bent it end to end. He...

Thanks for the info. Will go on and take it before the end of the year just to have it. Thanks again

Is this safe boaters course Nationwide or just NY? I dont consider myself "seasoned" as I have only been boating for 4 years and am old but back in the day when I was a kid we didnt need to have boats registered for a trolling motor. When I got my boat 4 years ago I had to register because it...

Do yall clean your boat seats or just use them not matter what they look like. I know were just fishing but mine are about 5 years old and have what Im going to guess is mildew on them. It doesnt bother me but the wife is a different story. If you do clean them what do you use. They are vinyl...

Im poor so I bought a small camera called a Crosstour from Walmart online. Its a "go pro knock off" I guess. I have it mounted on a baseball hat. The only issue with it is they recommend you use the batteries that come with it and not connecting it to a battery for some reason so I have like 7...

I have a 14 foot jon that I only fish waters that allow electric and when I first started out I had a 30 thrust that came with the boat when I bought it. I bought another on the recommendation of a friend saying that if the older one failed I would be good. Sure enough the older one failed on...

I actually purchased proper fitting auto inflating preservers for me and my buddy this year. He had just one of those fit all orange vest and I had a very bulky one that really didnt fit all that great being as I am a big guy. Have been looking into adding some kind of ladder to keep in the boat...

I turn 60 this year and before the pandemic hit I was big into going to car shows and crewing for a armature race car team but that all went to crap so I sold my car and bought a boat and got back into fishing. I had to quit back in the day because of health issues but always relied on going...
