THE BUG JUICE
For years I have battled with being bitten by Mosquitos and No See-Ums! I have tried every product on the market that claimed to repel those nagging bugs. But nothing would stop them. So my wife Jessica being an aromatherapist started making different concoctions for me to take fishing for the day. I would always say “Honey where’s The BUG Juice”? Each concoction got better and better each time until one evening the fish started biting and so did the bugs! I sprayed myself down with The BUG Juice and TADA! For the first time ever I could stay and continue to catch fish and NOT get bitten. That’s when we knew we had something that was natural and chemical free that actually “Stops The Bite” and on that day The BUG Juice was born. An All Natural No See-Um and Mosquito repellant formulated Florida tough that creates a scent and bite barrier that No See-Ums and other biting insects cannot bite through. Making it the most effective bug repellent on the market. 100% Guaranteed or your money back! Made In Port St Lucie Florida

SKINNY WATER CULTURE
Skinny Water Culture is not something that dictates standing, prowess or commitment. It is not a badge to be flaunted or a doctrine to be sermonized. Rather, it is a flag. A rallying point for those who prefer to be a part of the Culture of the angler. Skinny Water Culture is a community for anglers who prefer not to wear clothes and recycle rhetoric that might make them feel like fisherman; but, for those who would contribute to and absorb the common memories and feelings of an entire group of people the world over who love fish and fishing and the pursuit of those passions. Skinny Water Culture is: a collective, a lifestyle, even a tribe. Skinny Water Culture is not just about fisherman and anglers. Skinny Water Culture is about living in the moment.

THOSE FLORIDA GUYS
Food brings people together and we set out to help folks make good food taste better without complicating things. There are a lot of spices and barbecue rubs out there (we have tried most of them) and many are good, but none had that distinct Florida flavor we craved and many have MSG or lab-grown ingredients that made us feel bad kissing our wives after trying to pronounce them. We use all-natural ingredients and always try to add something otherwise unique that we hope you enjoy and helps you relax and enjoy the time cooking. Cooking is a passion for us and we suspect it is for you too. We make these spices and rubs for the everyday cook and professional alike and we know that if you use it, you’ll love it!
