THE IMPORTANCE OF BOAT INSURANCE
Embarking on the open water is an exhilarating experience, flled with the promise of adventure and relaxation. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a weekend cruiser, protecting your vessel with proper insurance is not just a choice—it’s a necessity. Explore the reasons why every boat owner should prioritize boat insurance for a worry-free voyage.
Unpredictable waters
The open water can be unpredictable, with unexpected storms, collisions, or other potential accidents. Boat insurance can give you fnancial protection if there is damage to your vessel, providing coverage for repairs or replacement.
Damage and injury
Accidents on the water can result in damage to other boats, docks, or even injuries to passengers. Boat insurance offers liability coverage, which can pay for damages or injuries you’re liable for while boating, up to specifed limits, and lawsuit costs if you’re sued. This includes damage you cause to another watercraft or if someone on or near your boat is injured and you’re found to be legally responsible.
Theft and vandalism
Unfortunately, boat theft and vandalism are realities that boat owners face. Boat insurance has comprehensive and collision coverage that can protect you against events outside of your control, including theft and vandalism.
Incurred medical payments
Accidents on the water may lead to injuries for you or your passengers. Boat insurance offers a range of optional medical payments coverage limits, helping to cover medical expenses if you are in an accident or someone is hurt on your boat, regardless of fault.
Peace of mind for fnancing
If you fnanced the purchase of your boat, most lenders require insurance coverage to protect their investment. Having boat insurance not only fulflls these requirements but also gives you peace of mind knowing that your fnancial interests are safeguarded.
Navigational fexibility
Some water municipalities and marinas may require proof of insurance for docking or accessing certain areas. Boat insurance allows you the fexibility to explore different destinations without worrying about entry restrictions.
Emergency towing and assistance
Progressive boat insurance can include optional Sign & Glide® On-Water Towing coverage. If your boat is disabled or breaks down on the water, Sign & Glide® pays for on-water towing, jump starts, soft un-groundings, and fuel delivery.
Wreckage removal
If your boat sinks, Progressive boat insurance will cover the cost of removing your boat from the water (if removal is legally required).
Investing in boat insurance is not just about protecting a valuable asset; it’s about safeguarding the memories, experiences, and joy that come with your on-water adventures. Don’t let unforeseen circumstances disrupt your journey—navigate with confdence, knowing that Progressive boat insurance has you covered. Ensure a smooth and worry-free voyage, because when it comes to your boat, peace of mind is the ultimate luxury.

Bill Dance Signature Lakes O er Impactful Improvements to Tennessee’s Fishing Waters

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ‘MEDIA FISHING INDUSTRY’
By David Haggard & Heather Lose
LBy Ben Martin, Editor in Chief
et me !rst say that I am in no way a historian, nor has this material been researched to ensure its accuracy. is is simply my observations and my humble opinion of how and when the sport of !shing gained its foothold toward becoming America’s favorite pastime. Certainly, !shing had been a popular sport prior to its initial media welcoming in the 1960’s, but in my opinion its explosive growth can be traced to three events that catapulted it into its current National appeal.
Event #1 — ABC’s Wide World of Sports carries a marlin shing episode. Curt Goudy and Jim McKay hosted ABC’s Wide World of Sports and its popularity with a wide range of sports enthusiasts was viewed as a major success. However, by the sixth episode it was apparent that the show needed fresh material to keep their audience engaged so they put their cameras on a 62 . Hatteras to capture footage of a marlin catch and the world opened to the beautiful and extreme nature of o shore !shing. Viewers said to themselves, “I want to do that!”
Representatives from Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, and Tennessee State Parks celebrate the ribbon cutting of the Bill Dance Signature Lakes project at the Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville on March 25, along with the project’s namesake. Photo Courtesy of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development:
Event #2 — e Walker’s Cay Chronicles with Flip Pallot
Avid angler and creator of Hell’s Bay Ski s, Flip Pallot, developed a series of television shows called e Walker’s Cay Chronicles. In each episode Flip would narrate the pursuit of bill!shing in the Bahamas. His colorful description of “the shimmering waters” helped to romanticize the allure of sport!shing as something akin to an art form and, once again, people said to themselves, “I want to do that!”
Event #3 — Bill Dance begins lming his bass shing and tournament successes and becomes a national celebrity. And, one more time, people said to themselves, “I want to do that!”
e inertia that these three media events created caused an explosion in the !shing industry. e manufacturing and media industries jumped in to !ll the demand and meet the needs of a rapidly growing national pastime. Both entities have ever since been inextricably linked in a symbiotic relationship that has experienced continued rapid growth and a constantly growing demand for new products and new media outlets. And for that, Coastal Angler Magazine and e Angler Magazine salute ABC, Flip Pallot and Bill Dance, catalysts for making !shing America’s most popular pastime.

DIVE DEEP!
By Jeff Durniak | Unicoi Outfitters www.ncwildlife.org/fishing/trout-fishing-north-carolina
The month of December brings colder nights and icy water temperatures to our mountain trout streams. As those water temps dive below fifty degrees, so do most trout.
Yet many anglers remain stuck in “fall mode” and fish above their quarry with dry/dropper rigs or shallow indicator setups. Veterans, however, measure water temperatures first and then dredge near the bottom with appropriate terminal rigs. Those rigs are Euronymphing in faster water less than about five feet deep, and long Indi setups for deeper pools. Give them a try.
For Euro rigging, just tie a three-foot section of colored sighter line to the end
of your stout leader. Then tie on the average water depth plus one more foot of 6X tippet. Add a tungsten-beaded nymph like a Sexy Walts Worm or Frenchie to the end of the tippet and drift it along the bottom of that faster flow. Notice how that setup slices through the water column and drifts your bug at fish-eye level!
For the Indi rigs, try a short, tapered leader tipped with a real long (4-8 ft) piece of thin tippet. Add your favorite dredging bug or two (rubberleg stone, egg, or pheasant tail) and enough split shot to sink them quickly. Use an airlock or Oros indicator big enough to float that heavy freight and slide it way up the leader to 1.5 times the pool depth. Drift that Indi rig slowly along pool bottoms to dig up those wintering trout schools.
Going deep in December will net you more trout. We’ll return to our shallow rigs next March when stream temperatures rise above fifty degrees and trout rise from the depths. For more details on winter trouting, check out our December 2021 and January 2024 columns in the online version of this magazine. Good luck diving deep this December!
Winter Fly Fishing Tactics
Contributed by David Hulsey International Federation of Fly Fishers - Master Certified Casting Instructor
http://www.hulseyflyfishing.com | 770-639-4001
Fly Fishing in the colder times of the year requires a whole different mindset than in the warmer easy- going seasons of Spring, Summer, and Fall. When the water is icy cold fishing at best becomes a game of inches. Trout and bass for that matter usually aren’t interested in chasing down a fast- fleeing baitfish or large streamers. Slower and accurate presentations in cold conditions normally win the day. Getting the fly right in the fish’s face may be necessary to entice a strike when conditions require. When it’s a sunny day with the usual crystal- clear water of Winter, I like to stalk upriver looking for trout before even making a cast. Overhead sun or getting the sun at your back, aids in spotting fish quietly finning in deeper pools or shallow slow-moving riffles.
LOCAL RIVERS & FLY FISHING
Depending on the depth the fish is at I like to use tungsten beaded flies and fluorocarbon to adjust the presentation to get the flies to drift on the exact level or slightly above the trout’s head. The strike zone may be the size of a ping pong ball so precise adjustments are essential to getting a bite. Watching the fly requires focus and concentration along with a great pair of glasses. Amber lenses really work great for spotting fish in rivers. Watch the fish for any sudden movements no matter how slight, and set quickly. Using yarn or a dry fly for an indicator will be more sensitive to any strike that occurs when the fish or fly is not visible. Getting close to the fish in the leaf less forest can be difficult. Clothing coloration that blends in with the back ground is a good idea. Think Great Blue Heron. I’ll see you on the river!
LOCAL LAKES FORECAST
LANIER STRIPERS
Forecast by: Capt. Clay Cunningham www.catchingnotfishing.com | 770-630-2673
The striper fishing on Lake Lanier is finally falling into the winter patterns. The bait is thickening up in the creeks and the stripers are following them. Live bait will be hard to beat in December. Some of these schools are absolutely massive. On and off throughout the day the stripers will move through this bait and feast. You want to be waiting on the stripers with the traditional downline with blueback herring and rainbow trout. You will need the same setup for both of these baits, but you will need different size weights and hooks. Spool up a Penn Fathom II 20 reel with fifteen-pound Trilene Big Game clear line paired with a Shakespeare striper rod. You can use this setup year-round for stripers. Tie a Carolina rig on the end with a Capt. Mack 2-ounce swivel sinker and 5-foot leader of 15 pound Trilene 100% Flourocarbon and a Gamakatsu 3/0 octopus hook for the medium trout. If the trout are smaller, go with the 1/0 or 2/0 Gamakatsu Octopus hook. On the herring, use the smaller 1-ounce Capt. Mack swivel sinker. Also, on the herring use a
smaller size 1 Gamakatsu Octopus hook and 12-pound Trilene 100 % Flourocarbon. All of these details are important. These details will make the difference between fishing and catching. If you want to catch these fish on artificials. The spoon is a great choice. Tie on a Capt. Mack Super Spoon on a 6’6” Fenwick medium action rod paired with an Abu Garcia Revo X with 10 pound line and drop the spoon to the bottom and work it in a yo-yo type motion. Most of the bites will be on the fall of the spoon. If you do see some surface action, keep a Berkley Spy tied on a spinning rod. To find where these deep pods are located first look for any birds. The birds always narrow your search. Now that you are in the right area, proper electronics are crucial. On the Humminbird Solix, you can see these huge pods of bait and even see your bait swimming around on the hook around the schools of bait. During the Winter do not be afraid to fish in the middle of the day. Many times, in the Winter the best fishing is during the warmest part of the day.
Lake Lanier is 38,000 acres of prime fishing and home to some of the best spotted bass and striped bass in the world. There are dozens of hotels within minutes of the lake, professional fishing guides to increase your odds of catching the “big ones” and plenty of action in Gainesville, Georgia to keep the family entertained!

Lake Allatoona is continuing to shine and only seems to get a little more productive as the years progress. We got a little bump in stocking to include 180,000 hybrids and 62,000 stripers during Spring stocking this year – more than in years past. While it is probable that only 3% of these will make it to adulthood annually, it’s still a good number and we are thankful for the stewards that pour into this fishery.
While it's been a little bit difficult to get a good winter pattern established through November with water temperatures fluctuating up and down, as cooler weather prevails, we should start seeing some consistency in fishing patterns.
As temperatures begin to drop, we should start seeing a good winter pattern develop, finding the linesides beginning to stage in the mouths of creeks and channel edges again.
ALLATOONA
Several patterns come into play on any given December day, but downlining some frisky threadfin, gizzard shad or herring will typically be one of the most productive patterns. Fishing larger baits of 8-9 inches can also be productive when targeting larger fish that should start coming more active as the temperatures continue to drop. We like to start pulling these on planer boards as soon as that water starts reaching the low 60s and below.
Free lines are always recommended to keep in the mix, particularly when concentrating on a downline bite. Anywhere from a true freeline to keeping a size 7 split shot on 10 to 12 lb. test can definitely produce great bites on any given day.
As temperatures begin to drop, we also like to incorporate some frisky rainbow
trout in the mix, particularly when fishing deeper holes in the mouths of creeks, etc. Most of December will have fish active in most parts of the reservoir, though as water clarity dictates, we typically find a lot of our good fish in the cleaner water around mid-lake. A lot of this is predicated on upcoming rainfall, water clarity, etc. This is still a great time of year to concentrate your efforts in the water between Galts Ferry and Stamp Creek and even south of the dam heading into the Iron Hill area.
We shall do our best to keep you updated with some weekly and bi-weekly reports as updated on our blog and social media channels. We wish you the very best on your self-service outings and invite you to reach out to us for a full-service instructional trip of fishing and catching at any time.
God bless and tight lines, friends!
OCONEE ON THE FLY
Hybrids / Stripers
There are many ways to target Hybrids and Stripers in December, but my favorite is dropping a spoon directly under the boat. Look for humps up Richland Creek, near Great Waters, and the mouth of Rocky Creek. Use a stick with a rubber tip and tap on the bottom of your boat. Tap for 5 minutes and often you will see the fish come in. Most guides use a 7/8-ounce War Eagle spoon in white with a bit of red on the front. Recently, a friend suggested the 6th Sense Divine Jigging Spoon in the 1-ounce size.
Always have a rod or two set up with a popping cork and a Betts Pop N' Stripe Popper Fly for when you see fish rising. Crappie – Trolling will work well in December. Put out a spread of rods with 6/lb HiVis Mr. Crappie line. I use Litewire Hooks jigs in 1/16th and 1/32nd often rigged double with a Jiffy Jig. Try the upper stretches of Richland Creek, Anchor’s Marina cove, and flats north of I-20. Fly Fishing – December is the time of year to follow those gulls. The afternoon bite is often solid especially when Georgia Power is generating. I use a 9 foot, 8 weight
rod with intermediate line and a leader of 15 lb fluorocarbon about 5 feet long. Tie on a clouser in white and chartreuse on a #2 hook. Once you make your cast keep the rod tip just above the water surface and make 5 short strips followed by a pause. Many times, the strike will come right as your retrieve is almost back to the boat. Fight the fish on the butt of the rod and get it on the reel as soon as you can. This ain’t no small trout!

Perfect for spontaneous road trips or shing in those hard-to-reach spots, this mini rod is your trusty sidekick for any adventure.

It’s designed for nimble casting and quick action, making it perfect for those who want a genuine mini experience without the extra length. Made from pure carbon ber, the Bean Pole is as lightweight as it is strong.

TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY… FA LA LA LA LA
Christmas week, in my opinion, is the peak of bottom shing season, and there are plenty of reasons why. One of the biggest factors is the congregation of bait schools, like cigar minnows and sardines, which are some of the best baits available. Other reasons include the spawning aggregations and the cooler water temperatures. Speaking of bait, grouper (and American red snapper) can’t resist a few others if presented right: pin sh, sailor’s choice, and even small beeliners and other little snappers. !ese baits are so tempting because larger sh like grouper and snapper see them as egg-eaters. !ey devour them not only as a food source but also to protect their future o spring from these egg thieves. If you present these baits correctly—and avoid using bulky tackle— they’re simply too enticing to resist.
intelligent. Not all grouper species are equal in terms of smarts: red grouper are pretty naive, scamps are sharper, and gags are the brightest. !ey don’t become males, or black bellies, by being careless. Like other animals, sh learn to avoid obvious traps. !ey recognize mono, threeway swivels, heavy bank sinkers clanking on the bottom, and so on. It’s time to step up your game and target their instincts.
Personally, I use my weight as a “decoy,” making it resemble a crab or squid. !is setup involves a 4-foot piece of oro, a small 130-pound Spro swivel, and 50-pound braided line. I also color the rst 5 or 6 feet of high-vis (yellow) braid red with a Sharpie. (See my video on YouTube for a demo.) All these details matter for the overall presentation. !e
Let’s talk tackle. Forget mono lament altogether! I’ve spent a lot of time observing my tackle underwater, and mono is much more visible than uorocarbon. Compared to mono, oro is nearly invisible, which makes a di erence. Next, think carefully about the weight and terminal tackle you use to get bait to the bottom. While three-way rigs were a classic for years and will still catch younger (female) grouper, it’s a di erent story when they grow up. Once female grouper mature, they undergo a transformation and become males. When these gag grouper turn male, they also reach a size where we call them “black bellies.” !ese male grouper—especially black bellies—are
“Decoy Jig” is like psychological warfare; it taps into the sh’s hardwired drive to attack struggling or injured prey. !e Crab Decoy Jig, for example, looks like a crab holding on to a struggling snapper. To a wary grouper or big snapper, that’s an irresistible “Happy Meal.” I came up with the Crab Decoy Jig a er gutting thousands of grouper and realizing that their diet mostly consists of small red and reddish-brown crabs, tiny snappers, cigar minnows and sardines.
!e gag grouper and American red snapper populations are stronger than they’ve been in years—just ask any diver! But to catch them consistently, you need to improve your presentation. If you’re not catching gags and scamps with your old “chicken rig,” it doesn’t mean there aren’t any grouper around. !ey’re just not falling for poorly presented bait.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
