Using Choccolocco Creek as an example, she explains how this carcinogen can stay in the waterways for decades and bioaccumulate in bass tissue. If you’re “catch-and-keep” fisherman, you’ll want to tune in to hear more about Coosa Riverkeepers involvement in getting the SHOR Act passed so that fish consumption advisories become more easily accessible for outdoorsmen. Next up we have Melissa Miller here to talk with us about the Mobile Boat Show. Boaters and anglers near the Mobile area won’t want to miss this local event, especially if you’re in the market for a new boat. Join us as we talk history, food, and water skiing squirrels. Finally we have Paul Kabalin with Engel Coolers. While you may be most familiar with high-quality coolers, dryboxes, and bait buckets, this week Paul is here to talk about their line of portable electric coolers and freezers. If you’ve ever had a hankerin’ for cold ice cream on your pontoon boat, or grown tired of making ice runs at deer camp, you’ll want to stay tuned to learn about the technology that makes these durable freezers stay icy-cold in some of the world’s harshest environments.
