We have quite a bit of fun on the show and on the forums debating the virtues of aluminum vs fiberglass boats. For me, it's glass all the way and I don't see that ever changing, but there is one area where I have to admit that I get a little jealous of the metal […]
For the past few years, every time I've traveled back to Florida to see the family and do a little fishing, I’ve been met with windy weather. So far, 2011 is shaping up to be pretty darn good as my Florida Keys trip in January was perhaps some of the best mixed bag fishing I have […]
