Fishing is among the standard hobbies people have. It is an excellent getaway from a hectic routine and to spend some quality time with your family. Do you want to know what adds to the overall experience?

The company of right fishing gadgets! We have listed a few that will add to your fishing experience. 

The Fish Finder

We live in a world where technology surrounds us. This portable fish finder is a perfect example. 

All you have to do is to connect it to your cell phone, and it will tell you the temperature of the pond you’re fishing in, the condition of the waterbed, and even about where correctly there is more fish present.

This tech gadget works perfectly between depths of 0.5-40 meters of fresh and saltwater.

If the fish finder is not enough, perhaps a waterproof fishing drone will help you spot the trout. If you are using a drone, you will need to ensure you have any required licensing for drone use - not to mention some level of training or experience.

St. Croix Legend Xtreme

Of course, you need a fishing rod to fish. But this isn’t just any fishing rod. Weighing only 4.9 ounces, this lightweight fishing rod allows for a more natural swing, not to mention the focus on accuracy that you get to enjoy.

There are various models of this fishing rod. The major prose of its newest model include the firm graphite grip that comes with weatherproofing.

It is composed of the graphite material which, along with the lighter weight, elevates your fishing experience. 

Bite Alarm Electric Buzzer

If there is one annoying thing about fishing, it is the fact that catching fish takes time.

This is mostly because we only get to feel those firm bites while missing out on the many smaller ones. Bite Alarm Electric Buzzer ensures that does not happen.

You can install it in minutes on pretty much any fishing rod. It is a highly sensitive sensor that buzzes even with those tiny fish bites.

In other words, you get to catch more fish than you otherwise would. Also, you don’t have to sit idle trying to feel every single jerk on the rod. Take a look at some of teh bite alarm reviews here.

The PLUSINNO Rod Holder

On a good fishing day, you’ll be busy, but on a bad one, you will only get tired holding that fish rod. So, don’t hold it! This rod holder is designed to keep your fishing trips fun instead of miserable.

You can just hook them onto your boat and attach the rod to it. In other words, the next time you go fishing, you can have those breaks to relax your hands a little.

The rod holder is constructed of anti-corrosive materials for better durability.

The SATcase

For a truly relaxing fishing experience, you go a little farther into the water and park your boat right there in the middle.

If an emergency pops up at that time, and you wouldn’t want your phone’s signal to be down. This is where this SATcase comes in.

It turns your android phone into a satellite phone. Just install the application in your cell and put this cover on, and you will be able to contact anywhere. The SATcase also feature a 406 beacon.

The 20 Stages Of Instagram-Stalking Your Crush, As Told By 'Mean Girls'

Whether you love the presence of technology in your dating life or not, it's probably there.

Far too often we wait for that follow request or Snapchat add to know that a boy is interested. We look to those notifications for validation of that mutual interest.

There is nothing quite like the freaking treasure trove that opens when a crush approves your follow request(or maybe you're silently looking if he is public). There is so much to do. This has now turned into an ~event~

All other priorities do. not. exist.

1. When he doesn't follow you back immediately

Giphy

Not mad, just disappointed. Actually, very mad. Seething, if you will. Honestly expected way more from Steve from Intro to Biology.

2. If he follows you first

Giphy

Hey! It's a little hard to see you down there since I'm ON CLOUD NINE RIGHT NOW!!! You text all your friends. These days, this is practically a marriage proposal. Time to start picking out wedding china? Can Vera Wang do this on such short notice?

3. If one of your friends also has a crush on him

Giphy

Sorry, Becky. Guess you'll just have to live with being a bridesmaid at our wedding.

4. If you don't follow him, but have a mutual friend who does: you ask them for screenshots

Giphy

He's private and you want to know what he is like without any consequences. You're just not ready to follow him yet, but you need some screenshots in your arsenal. This is case in point of why I should ABSOLUTELY not be considered a real adult for at least another five years.

5. Reading his bio

Giphy

The best thing it could be is just his name or school or maybe his frat. Or nothing if that is indicative of being a real live grownup who has a job(and I don't mean working at an IT start up your daddy found you). We don't really need an inspirational quote or something random that only two people understand. Your name is fine, thanks. Gentlemen, take a page out of Avril Lavigne's book and don't make everything so complicated.

6. Seeing how many followers he has

Giphy

This is something I don't really care about, but it can tell you a lot about the person. Like if they are a SoundCloud rapper trying to make it big and have clearly followed a ton of random people to try to get a follow back which has resulted in a sketchy follower-to-following ratio. If not, then they're probably normal.

7. Seeing how many photos he has

Giphy

There is nothing worse than thinking you are about to feast your eyes on all his photos only to discover that he has two photos and one is a group shot where his face is practically hidden. This will result in an hour of promising your friends that he is normal and good looking, despite what this feed might suggest.

8. Making sure he is not radiating jerk

Giphy

Saying "Saturdays are for the boys" is fine sometimes, but not every weekend. If he has more gym mirror selfies than the amount of Cosmopolitans Carrie Bradshaw has drank in her lifetime, it's time to move on. Unless you're working on a street corner, there is no need for you to be "just out here hustling/grinding."

9. Temptation to comment on a recent picture

Giphy

His hair looks really good! Or if he posts a picture of a party you saw him at this can be more tempting than buying cookies from Girl Scouts outside the grocery store. Resist, resist, resist.

10. Discovering you have a shared interest

Giphy

Oh my gosh, he went on spring break and you did too!! He went with ten friends to Panama City and you went home and ate Chinese food with your mom, but really, I don't see a difference there.

. 11. Stalking the most recent photo

Giphy

Is it with a girl? Is she prettier than you? If she commented an emoji it's freaking over. You sprint immediately to your closest grocery store and buy all the Ben and Jerry's.

12. Gathering of all the information

Giphy

Now we go into detective mode. Assuming at this stage that the dude actually had a decent amount of pictures, we now dig like Bob the Builder. We look for hobbies. We judge these hobbies. If you really like him, you concoct a plan to see how you can relate to these hobbies.

"Oh my gosh, I loveeeee fishing! I love it so much! Oh, you fish, you don't say? Look how much we have in common!"

13. Figuring out how close is he with his family

Giphy

Looking for how many times his parents surface on the IG. If you see he has siblings then if you are on a date one day you won't be trying to digest their names and ages, you'll already know. He will be blown away by your impeccable memory and interest in them.

14. Seeing something cool he did and becoming obsessed

Giphy

Maybe he studied abroad. All the heart eyes for the picture of him volunteering with Habitat for Humanity last April.

15. Pictures that make the world stop

Giphy

This might be him in a tux at a wedding with his grandma. It might be a swoon-worthy pic of him shirtless at the beach. It might be a picture of him and his wait for it… DOG and you die and blush and get so excited because you don't know what's cuter: him or the dog. These are the ones you screenshot for your friends.

16. All of a sudden it's been an hour

Giphy

You look at the clock, an hour has passed and you're in 2014. Great, now you know exactly what he wore to a middle school dance. Awesome!

17. When going into the tagged photos leads to being 3 people deep

Giphy

In tagged photos, you find previous girlfriends, and naturally, you have to stalk. Luckily, her account is public and you see that her best friend could easily be the next contestant on the Bachelor and probably win the whole thing. So you click on her profile and stalk her too. Then you see her boyfriend and look at his profile and feel genuinely hurt that you won't be getting an invite to their wedding.

18. Not blurting out everything the next time you see him

Giphy

You know you can absolutely NOT let on that you stalked him at all. Even though there were ten close calls, you did not accidentally like anything. Consider that a success. They should give out trophies for that. He doesn't need to know that you dropped your phone into the Oreo crumbs that were on your face at 2 a.m. As far as he knows, you simply approved his request and moved on with your life. If it comes up you should say "Oh, I didn't even remember we were friends on Instagram."

19. Crafting your first post with him being a follower

Giphy

It has to be hot, but it has to be effortless. You could do a selfie but you want him to know you have friends. But they can't look prettier than you. Should you be mysterious and post an artsy shot? Or post a travel throwback? *Books plane ticket to a cool destination just to take a pic he might like*

20. The first time he likes your post

Giphy

You feel like the definition of fabulous. A Snapchat is coming down the pike for sure. Ugh, how can you hate a culture and love it so much at the same time?

Millennial Fashion Trends for 2018. What will you be Wearing ?

2018 is shaping up to be a Ripper Year for Smart Casual Fashion.

As 2017 comes to a close, so do many fashion trends that have made the year genuinely memorable. We may be saying goodbye to romphims, double jeans, and everything bucket, but we’ll be welcoming in some remarkable new styles, and saying hello to some old friends.

The new year is already well set-up to bring in some exciting, colourful, and unique millennial fashion trends, for both men and women.

With many of the spring lines having been introduced, and some fascinating insights into what’s in store for summer, we already have a great idea of what 2018 is going to bring to our wardrobes.

To help you to stay ahead of the trends, and ensure your wardrobe isn’t going to let you down come the new year, we have put together 5 top styles that are going to make 2018 just as memorable as 2017. Without further ado, here’s what you should be keeping an eye out for in 2018.

Comfortable Styles with Statement Designs

One of the most significant recurring themes of the 2018 fashion trends so far is comfort. Music to the ears of many, comfort and enjoyment are both critical factors in the upcoming fashion trends.

From formal wear to casual clothing, there are plenty of designs to ensure 2018 doesn’t come down to a choice between comfort and style.

The athleisure trend won’t be a new addition to 2018, but it’s indeed set to shine, combining style with comfort, practicality, and flexibility. Along with athleisure, women can look forward to adding high-waist trousers to their wardrobe, while for men, shorts are going to be an essential fashion choice.

Keeping It Classic with Denim

There may yet be a year where the practical and diverse properties of denim are not featured in the top fashion trends, but 2018 certainly isn’t going to be the first. However, that’s not to say 2018 is going to be the same as 2017 – far from it.

For spring and summer, polished denim is going to be a must-have wardrobe addition for women. The latest collections have revealed a tailored denim transformation since it last featured in the top fashion trends. For men, 2018 is going to be all about straight cut jeans, either with a narrow or wide cut.

Red Is Here to Stay

Amongst the flurry of colour in 2017, there was one colour that was a standout addition – red.

Red dresses have featured on many a cat-walk in 2017, something set to continue throughout 2018. Whether it’s the Simone Pérèle Contoured Amour Bra or a Bandana Square Scarf from Saint Laurent, the trend is vibrant, bold, and with a dash of elegance.

The trend is going back to the classic style in 2018, with plain block red dresses predicted to be a particularly hot addition to your wardrobe.

Combining a classic cut with an elegant finish will create a statement wardrobe piece, with no harm done if the vibrant colour makes its way onto some of your other chosen pieces for the new year.

Set-Up to be a Very Hot Year

While the winter months are set to be especially cold, many of the top 2018 fashion trends are established to ensure you stay perfectly warm, and on trend concurrently. This sense of warmth and comfort has been extended to a large part of your wardrobe, for both men and women.

Men can look forward to stocking their wardrobe with knitted jumpers featuring classic patterns and timeless colours. Millennial women, alternatively, will have a vast selection of layered dresses and coats to choose from.

Trench coats and parkas are set to be essential coat styles, while oversized and multi-layer dresses are also a must-have wardrobe addition. 

A Brand-New Burst of Colour

Perhaps the most anticipated area of fashion trends, the top colour choices of 2018 are set to be fantastic. In many areas, bold, vibrant, and eye-catching is still very much on trend, with the additional touch of shine and sparkle to make a bigger statement. 

For spring, sorbet colours are going to be vital for the perfect wardrobe, with the addition of some elegant, classic floral prints. The colour explosion is also making its way to shoes and coats for 2018, with vibrant shades and statement designs set to be a popular choice.

As the designers are sticking to what they know, and what we love for 2018, it’s the perfect time to do the same. One thing is certain – 2018 is going to be a great year for millennial fashion.
