Modern boats require an engine of some kind for propulsion. Much like a car, the engine requires maintenance in order to perform at its optimum.
Unlike a car, however, maintenance on a boat engine can be much more complicated due to the position of the engine, as well as the constant risk of seawater getting in and causing issues.
While it probably makes sense to avoid going fishing when the weather is horrendous, most people might not realise that even on bright and sunny days, fishing might not be successful.
That’s because fish, much like us, are susceptible to a wide range of weather conditions that can affect where they’re hiding, how hungry they are, and how easy it’ll be to catch them that day.

Yachts have always been closely associated with the rich and powerful. While some may use them as luxury holidays vessels and others as expensive tax breaks, the yachts involved are almost always large, unique, and built with some of the latest boating technologies in the world.
Contrary to popular belief, fishing is about more than simply throwing a line with a hook and worm into the water and hoping for the best.
While worms are generally quite effective, there are other bait options available, some of which can be made using household items.
There’s nothing quite as satisfying as firing up the grill after a hot day in summer and enjoying the evening with the mouth-watering smell of grilling fish as everyone prepares for a delicious dinner.
Not all fish are suited for grilling; some are better for frying; others are best when baked.

Most boat owners will agree on one thing: owning a boat takes a lot of hard work. There are countless things that can go wrong at any time, and it can be especially problematic when the sailor is out in the middle of the ocean.
Boats can be both robust and reliable, but not everything can work all of the time, and it isn’t uncommon for the vessel to stop suddenly when it was seemingly working just a few minutes beforehand.
Having a good quality fishing rod can make all the difference when trying to land a catch successfully. There are endless tales of cheaper fishing rods splintering or even outright snapping when the fisherman is fighting with a particular feisty fish, and it not only leaves them without their prize, but also without their fishing rod.
Buying a boat can be an exciting time. It can take years’ worth of saving every cent possible before the perfect vessel presents itself. And most new owners can only dream of the amazing adventures that they plan on going on once their brand-new boat is in their possession.
The excitement can quickly come to an end, however, when said owner begins to encounter certain problems that they would have otherwise never thought of.
Fishing is a pastime that can become extremely frustrating for those that find they head out to the water with the very best of intentions but find that they end the day without ever pulling anything out of the water.
There’s a very fine line between failure and success when it comes to fishing, so it’s understandable why the frustration can become palpable after a while, especially when we compare ourselves to more experienced fisherman.
