Anglers and boaters are always looking for new ways to accessorize and enhance the experiences on the water. Skilled designs are crafted right here in South Florida.

It is estimated that 100 billion “robo-calls” (those calls without a human on the other end), political candidate calls and other solicitations are made annually in the U.S.   You might be surprised how they get your mobile number.
