Cuba Landing Marina

I like to fish on the Tennessee river system. Cuba Landing Marina has one of the easiest boat ramps to launch your boat from. They offer a very friendly atmosphere, full service marina and awesome fishing all around the marina. Soon you can purchase Fishin Tool Bag from their bait shop.

Spring Time Red Eye Shad

When spring time comes, love it in the water for most species of bass. With water temps moving into the 60's most bass are getting ready to spawn. This can mean a hearty appetite while they fatten up for the spawn. I have found that the best mean for these hungry bass is Strike King Red Eye Shad. While these new lures are nothing more than the original rat-l-trap. They have a different look and swim different than the old rat-l-trap.

I have been using one and have had very good luck. The only problem is that you spend more time trying to get the hooks unhooked when you catch something. Although I always have my FishinToolBag near by which makes it easier to get my tools when I need to unhook something.

Mercury Optimax DFI Engine Oil

With Spring right around the corner, a lot of us are getting out onto the water for the first time this year. Since our boats has been sitting for the winter, we sometimes to forget to check things like the engine oil. My Nitro boat has a Mercury Optimax engine, this is a direct fuel injection two stroke engine. Because of this I always carry some extra DFI oil with me. Since it's a two stroke it requires oil to mix with the fuel.
So it was nice day and I went out on the lake with my Fishin Tool Bag, I was running down the lake and the low oil alert sounded on the engine. At that moment I realized that I didn't check the engine oil. I stopped and added some oil. I f I didn't have some extra oil with me, this could have been a bad day. I was about 35 miles from the boat ramp.

So the next time you are buying engine oil get an extra one to stow in the boat.
