How does a license stop this from happening? Through the educational process of obtaining a license. It probably never will stop it entirely, just like a driver's license won't completely stop DUIs. But as it is right now, there are probably many boaters who do not realize that a BWI carries the sa...

heavier outboards alter boat floatation.jpg Heavier Outboards Can Affect Boat Flotation and Safety WASHINGTON – One year ago the U.S. Coast Guard required new recreational boats to have more floatation to support the increased weight of newer four-stroke outboards if the boat becomes swamped.

Another nice feature of the Navionics chip is that when you buy it, it comes with free updates for a year. All you have to do is plug the micro SD card into a USB port on your PC, the adapters come free with the chip. They will remind you when your year's "subscription" is almost up. Also,...

I currently have a Ranger RT178 (17' 8"), and let me start off by saying that the Ranger is NOT anything like a Tracker, even though both are owned by Johnny Morris. To start, the Ranger has a 92" beam as opposed to the Tracker's 89". Three inches may not seem like a lot, but it makes...

It appears that this is happening in Oregon. Could anyone ( WB Staff, maybe?) shed any additional light on this? If it takes hold in Oregon, you can bet that California WILL jump on the bandwagon, or should I say BAN-wagon! And if this is an attempt at a national ban, you can bet that sportsman-frie...

Funny how the salmon decline parallels the taking of Delta water. The more water that is diverted to the San Joaquin farmers, the lower the salmon numbers. It's not rocket science.

Nice play on words! 22-6 is a World record, but would be the new State record where ever is was caught. :? There is a strict submission process for a fish to be certified as a world record, all the right boxes have to be checked and the "i"s dotted and the "t"s crossed, so to sp...

You can't condem the Sea Lions for doing what they do, it's the DFW who sets the laws and protects them. The Sea Lion population has tripled in the past 2 decades, the only predators today are Great White sharks and killer whales that prefer smaller seals. DFW needs to thin out the Sea Lion herd. T...

The biggest barrier in getting BASS and BPT come to the west coast is distance, and the Rocky Mountains. It is just too expensive for the competing anglers to make the trek, unless they are subsidized by their respective tours, and I don't see that happening. So MLF supplies the boats and there is ...

I was contacted by Dual Pro today about my Charger. They say that this year's model is the one that the green charge lights will flash one bank at a time when power is disconnected.

Spinnerbaits, big treble top water, jerk and crankbaits are difficult to tie using a Palomar knot. Clinching a knot tight should always be performed wetting the line and pulling the tag end.

It gets even crazier when you read the regional placings. I mean Perris? Sure, there may be a few big fish but in the tourney cited in the article, the winners couldn't even catch a limit.

Check your prop-to-pad distance (height). The centerline of the prop shaft should be approx. 3 1/2" lower than the pad (the part of the hull the boat runs on when on plane).
