The National Fish Habitat Partnership is the most comprehensive freshwater conservation program in the United States. The partnership began with a spark of inspiration from Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops and noted conservationist.

Johnny had grown concerned over the chronic degradation of freshwater habitat across the United States. Many reservoirs in the United States were impounded in the 1960s or before. When reservoirs were first created, they were full of submerged timber and other underwater habitat that is essential for bass, crappie and for baitfish.

Many people begin their boat buying search by looking for the perfect boat. Does such a thing really exist? We’ve decided to write this article to save you from hours of online research and to let you in on something of an industry secret.

The number of boat styles, options and configurations available today make it possible to precisely match your perfect vision of boat ownership with a vessel that can deliver it.

Live sonar has revolutionized the fishing landscape. While the result is easy to understand—you can view fish underwater in real time—you’ll need to compile a number of compatible pieces of hardware to make it work on your boat.

This article provides a breakdown of what you need to make live sonar work as well as some background on features, products and accessories that can round out your boat’s set up. We even provide a helpful reference chart at the bottom of this article that lists the proprietary names used by each electronics company for their live sonar products.

Time spent outside makes life better. In a world over run with distraction and overstimulation—e-mails, text messages, electronic calendar invitations, time outdoors helps people unwind and live in the moment. It is good for people of all ages and it is good for families.
