Last week, I brought up something no one I know gets excited about: boat insurance. Well, actually that isn’t true. They don’t get excited about it until the coverage they need is not there when an unfortunate incident occurs.

I reviewed my auto insurance policy on my convertible the other day to make sure I have the coverage I feel I need for a fair premium. Well, since I have a little bit of a heavy foot, my premiums are not rock bottom and shopping for that fair investment with maximum coverage was a bigger task than I’d imagined.

I can clearly say on Jan. 29 we had one of the worst ice storms of the year. But I’m glad on Jan. 30, I drove down to Greenville to host the first Afro-American Bass Club Conference.

Going to the annual boat show is a tradition in many families, including mine. Not only did we go to the one in our hometown of Omaha, Neb., but we’d often attend a show in Kansas City, Mo., or an In-Water Show at the Lake of the Ozarks.

As I sit here, trapped in the house by the recent snow, I can only wish I were on the lake and looking at the forecast for the week to come ... more cold weather and another chance of snow next weekend. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

There are so many options for rods and reels these days, it is hard to know which is the right one to buy or use. “Right” is all a matter of opinion.
