StrikeAlert Testimonials

Last summer I took my StrikeAlert up to Canada with me on a trip where we spent a week fishing for muskie in a pretty remote area. I carry a barometer with me and watch it continuously to detect incoming storms and heightened fish activity. I noticed over a day and a half the barometer was dropping...so slowly I figured it was going to slowly approach us, we'd have a little lightning, then we'd have rain for a while. Well we heard some thunder way off and we decided to go hit our honey hole before it started. We'd definitely have time to fish before this slow storm was coming in. I got out my StrikeAlert and flipped it on as we motored up the narrow tree-lined lake. We came to a 90-degree bend and we couldn't see the skies where the storm was coming. The detector started flashing and I started to think about believing it and getting off the lake. As we went out into the more open-part of the next section of lake, we stopped and got our rain gear on and talked about heading to shore. My buddy didn't believe the unit, so we proceeded to get our gear on and were about to head to the spot when SLAM, a lightning bolt struck hard maybe 500 yards away. I ran the boat ashore as fast as I could and we sat out the storm with several deafening strikes very close by....very close.I kept the detector on and watched it religiously....it seemed the storm had passed, but it would light up again letting us know there was still danger nearby. We still couldn't see in the direction of the storm. Finally the strikes were getting further away so we got back in the boat and fished. The detector started going again so we went into shore and sure enough 5 minutes later SLAM! another round of strikes came by. We sat it out again.

Needless to say, it may very well have saved our lives. We were at the center of this lightning. We thought it was going to be a weak and slow storm, we thought it was going to pass in one round of lightning, but we were wrong on all accounts, and StrikeAlert was correct.

Again, thanks for this device...it probably did save my life...

Wow! I can't believe how quickly you responded to my question and how fast
you got the part out to me! I sure wish more businesses were as
conscientious and customer oriented as you are! Thank you very much for the
excellent service!

The device has been most useful, and I never go out on the water
without it. I like to fish and the weather here in the North
Dakota/Minnesota region can be unpredictable at times. It's nice to have an
added measure of safety, especially when I have my grand children along.

The referees at our rowing regatta were so impressed with the StrikeAlert that they thought of making them standard equipment at all US Rowing regattas. I was helping at the finish line at the Midwest High School Championships and keeping the head ref posted; he called all boats in when I said, "six to twelve and headed this way." We just made it. Had they waited till they could hear thunder, there would have been dozens of boats on the water in very dangerous conditions. No head referee should leave home without this unit.

As a fishing guide, the safety of my clients is most important. Last summer, I was fishing with two guests on a cloudy day when StrikeAlert announced that an electrical storm was over 20 miles away, yet we could not see or hear any sign of an approaching storm. StrikeAlert continued to register lightning strikes and told us the storm was heading our way. We decided to play it safe and seek shelter. Once off the water, the storm broke loose, with intense lightning and strong winds blowing over many large trees. Later, I checked my boat and all the fuses were blown. StrikeAlert probably saved our lives.
