Improving your Experience on the Water Many boaters and fishermen choose to enjoy the open water during the peaceful hours of the night, and doing so can offer many benefits.

This is the 2nd winter in Alaska, its endured numerous days of flooding rain, mosquitoes, arctic weather and even an instance of being backed into by a full-size pickup.
