Tackle & Tide is a free site run by a small team in Maine. Here is exactly how it pays for itself.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the retailer pays us a small commission. The price you pay does not change. Most of our links go to Amazon: Tackle & Tide is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Affiliate links are marked. Product buttons and "check price" links on gear pages are affiliate links; plain links to official sources (like maine.gov) never are.

What we will never do

  • Nobody pays to appear in a recommendation. There are no sponsored placements.
  • We do not claim to have tested gear we have not used. Our picks are judgment calls, and we explain the reasoning on every page. Read how we choose gear.
  • We do not show you a different list because one product pays more.

Charters

Our charter pages currently contain no affiliate or booking links. If that changes (for example, if we join a booking platform's partner program), those links will be marked and this page will say so.
