fanatic Greg Settler has a sixth sense for where the fish are biting. With local
knowledge from fellow fishing buddies and instant communication with two-way
radios, those fish don't have a chance.
"You can talk to your friends, find out where the
fish are biting and see what's going on," says Settler. "The bay is a
big place and they could be anywhere."
On Barnegat Bay, just off Long Beach Island on the
Jersey Shore, two-way radios provide quick and easy communication. Some of
these new radios can even reach up to five miles -- just about the area these
anglers will cover in pursuit of the big fish.
"A two-way radio is good for remote areas because
it doesn't depend on any carrier or network or service provider to work,"
says Stuart Jackson of Motorola. "Two two-way radios free you up to
communicate wherever you want to go."
Weather is a big concern for outdoor enthusiasts. A big
storm could blow onto this bay in minutes, and these two-way radios are
equipped with handy weather alerts and many other features.
"A lot of times they incorporate features an
outdoor enthusiast might want to use -- an altimeter, barometer, clock,
compass, thermometer -- and putting all these features into one radio allows
the enthusiast to leave a lot of other gear at home," says Jackson.
Two-way radios provide a layer of safety. If you're
lost in the woods, or your boat runs aground or someone gets hurt -- with a
two-way radio, help is never far away.
