Gulf Grouper By CAM Staff
C
rystal LaFosse fishes a lot. She’s traveled to destination fisheries around the world. Everywhere she’s been has its own allure, but she said when it comes to catching fish, nowhere compares to Louisiana’s Gulf Coast. What would you expect to hear from a Louisiana girl? Cajun Tackle in Lake Charles, La. is the family business, which Crystal operates with her brother and her parents. She is the founder and director of the Salty Catch Fishing Rodeo in Lake Charles and director of the Tuna & Swordfish Challenge at Hurricane Hole in Grand Isle, La. Even with so much fishing in her work life, she relishes the opportunity to launch out of Lake Charles with family, friends and her 6-year-old son Cardyn. Despite the excellent inshore opportunities nearby in the maze of waterways and Calcasieu Lake, Crystal’s favorite destination is well over 100 miles out in the Gulf in grouper water. West Louisiana doesn’t enjoy the same proximity to deep water as destinations to the east. With runs inside 50 miles out of Venice or Grand Isle, anglers flock to the deep-water rigs and rock bottom where the edge of the Continental Shelf provides dramatic depth changes. Out of Lake Charles, it’s a 110- to 130-mile run to reach the 200-foot depths and prime grouper territory. However, those willing to make longer runs will find bottom that hasn’t already been picked clean by other anglers. “Most people don’t come here to target grouper because the run offshore is so far,” Crystal said, “but that also makes it good because the area is not over-fished.” Yellowedge, gag, and strawberry grouper are some of Crystal’s personal favorites, but she said it’s always fun when the rod tip bends over and you really don’t know what you’re bringing up. Regardless of the species, grouper are some of the best eating fish in the sea, and loading the box with delicious fish is half the fun. “There’s nothing better than cranking in a huge Warsaw grouper. That’s just the best!” she said. The challenge of strapping on a harness and battling a big Warsaw is enough to test anyone’s strength and endurance. Reeling up a 200-plus-pounder is on Crystal’s to-do list. “Typically the big grouper hang on the up-current side of the rigs in 200 to 250 feet of water,” Crystal said. “Bottom fishing, you’re looking for rock or reef formations, drop offs and drastic water depth changes. Usually anything over 200 feet is good grouper territory.” For Crystal, “anything over 200 feet” is sometimes 500 feet or deeper, when you never know what’s going to come up on the end of the line. Her rigs account for the dark waters at these depths with lights that mimic the bioluminescence of squid and attract grouper. “There are several ways to deep drop, and grouper rigs can be made with one to five hooks, ” she said. “Typically when you’re targeting a big warsaw, it’s with an 18/0 or 20/0 circle hook rig with glowing lights, a 3- to 5-pound weight and live bait around the oil rigs. I make my own three-hook rigs using 8/0 or 10/0 circle hooks, glow in the dark squid, lights, and topped with dead squid bait… You can use the 3-5 hook rigs around structure or just bottom fishing on rock piles. “The glow squid are from Offshore Angler, Fathom Offshore, and many other brands. The LED deep-drop lights range in colors of blue,

red, green or disco, and there are many different brands from Offshore Angler or Lindgren-Pitman, which we have a selection of at Cajun Tackle,” she continued. “These lights and glow squid attract the grouper in the deep dark water. The squid are put on just above the hook, so when you add your bait it’s glowing right above it. The light is added about a foot above the rig and attached with a snap swivel or rubber band.” As much as anything, heading offshore is an opportunity to explore. Crystal said she and her friends all have the same standard coordinates marked on their electronics, but everyone has their favorites, and she’s had a few trips when they ran up on new bottom that turned out to be great. “We have spent time seeking out new numbers to mark, and that just keeps it interesting,” she said. “Keeping the depthfinder on while running from spot to spot, paying attention to any changes in depth and bottom, you can really find some good spots. The ocean is such a wonderful place, and there are so many new things to explore. I think that’s what keeps me coming back. Every trip is different and special in its own way.” When she’s not fishing, Crystal LaFosse can be found working the shop at Cajun Tackle in Lake Charles, La. After a successful second-annual Salty Catch Fishing Rodeo in July, the Tuna & Swordfish Challenge is coming up Sept. 28-Oct. 1 at Hurricane Hole Resort and Marina in Grand Isle.

Mountain Lakes Are Calling
By Nick Carter eering into clear-green water from the casting deck, frantic movement is the first thing to catch your eye. As a morning fog evaporates, rolling mountains rise up all around and the sun breaks through to reveal small groups of blueback herring. They dart back and forth, skittering near the surface to evade or confuse predators below. Then it happens. It starts with a few scattered topwater hits and intensifies. By the time you look up from impaling the nose of a blueback from the bait tank, there is an acre of water boiling. Big hybrid bass herd herring around the cove. The trolling motor whirrs to keep you in casting range. For the next few hours the action came in flurries, with multiple anglers battling through double and triple hook-ups whenever baits encountered a school of hungry hybrids. Some fish came on multiple downlines arrayed in rod holders. The most exciting takes
P
were on the pitch rods, lightweight rigs kept ready for surfacing fish. Either way, the key to drawing strikes was a lively bait, and this is the style of fishing you’ll experience with Big Ol’ Fish Guiding Service. They fish the gorgeous mountain lakes on both sides of the Georgia, North Carolina border. This trip was on Lake Chatuge, a 7,200-acre impoundment of the Hiawassee River that stretches 13 miles from Hayesville, N.C. south to Hiawassee, Ga. The lake is known for big spotted and hybrid bass. If you’ve never battled a hybrid approaching double digits on light tackle, it makes reeling in a 10-pound largemouth seem comparable to fighting a wet shoe. The same could be said for most of the species guides Shane Goebel and Darren Hughes pursue. Big Ol’ Fish concentrates on three lakes in the region and plans trips based on where the current bite is best. Southwest of Chatuge, Lake Nottely is a 4,200-acre impoundment of the Nottely River. Its primary draw is trophy striped bass. Stripers from 20 to 40 pounds show up regularly on this reservoir outside Blairsville, Ga. The elusive 50-plus-pounder is what everyone seeks, and very lucky anglers just might find it trolling bluebacks, big gizzard shad or trout. Those who prefer counting fish to weighing them will find fast action on Lake Hiwassee near Murphy, N.C. It is a 6,000-acre reservoir in the same drainage, which for some reason is spelled differently in North Carolina. Lake Hiwassee features breathtaking cliff formations and spectacular fishing for smallmouths that reach 6 pounds and larger, as well as big walleye and striper. Over a couple action-packed trips with Darren and Shane on their The Angler Magazine-wrapped Carolina Skiff, one couldn’t help ask why they don’t fish artificials when the bite gets so hot. Their answer, almost in unison, was: “Because we like catching lots of fish.” That sentiment is hard to argue with, but it’s worth noting that Darren owns Hughes General Store in Blairsville, the area’s primary purveyor of live baits. Rumor has it they make a mean biscuit. Big Ol’ Fish Guiding Service can be found online at bigolfish.com. Call them at 828-361-2021.

What’s It Like to Live in a Log Cabin?
By Ben Martin • Editor in Chief
View time-lapsed video at www.blueridgelogcabins.net As an outdoor enthusiast, I’m naturally drawn to the aesthetic charm of log cabins. I have enjoyed numerous stays and vacations in log cabins over the years. Living in one on a long term or even potentially permanent basis is an intriguing thought for me. With that question in mind, I set out to speak with individuals who have taken that step, just to get their honest opinions, before I make the leap to a log cabin as my permanent residence. My first call was to Mark Alberghini, our Charlotte, North Carolina co-publisher. He and his family have been living in a log cabin for more than 20 years. According to Mark, returning to his cabin after a stressfilled day in the publishing business offers an immediate calming effect. He went on to say that living in a log cabin has left him less interested in vacations than at any other time in his life. His now-grown daughters tell him they are always pleased to return to the log cabin for holidays and family events, and that it seems to have created a deeper sense of tradition than many of their friends who live in conventional homes seem to experience.
I then contacted several Blue Ridge Log Cabin homeowners to see how they compared the experience of log cabin living to conventional homes. Jerry and Carol Clark, who recently moved into their Blue Ridge Log Cabin, said the experience of returning to their log home is much more enjoyable than that of their previous conventional homes. Blue Ridge Log Cabin owner and high school principle Charlie Burry informed us that, “As a high school principle, I value regular downtime away from the pressures of my job.” In that regard, Mr. Burry went on to say, “My wife and I greatly enjoy the peace and relaxation afforded by log-home living verses a conventional home.” Jim Austin, another Blue Ridge Log Cabin owner, commented, “several years ago we decided to change our lifestyle and head out of the hustle and bustle of city life and settle for the quiet and serene country life. We found the perfect wooded location in the foothills of the Appalachians, complete with a little stream running through it. These past five years have been fantastic. We couldn’t have picked a better location or company to build our home. We absolutely love the quietness of the woods in which deer and turkey abound. The sound of our little creek in the morning mist seems heaven sent. Perfect setting, perfect cabin. We love it and wouldn’t change cabin living for the world.” Throughout the numerous interviews that were conducted, the response was always the same. Those homeowners who had changed from a conventional home to a log cabin unanimously agreed, the feeling of contentment, relaxation and satisfaction with the log home was far superior to that of their conventional home. Had this little research project been a survey, it would have seemed artificially skewed. Rarely will you find 100 percent of your survey group in agreement on nearly any subject. In this inquiry, every single person, without exception, agreed that they would never trade log-home living for a conventional home. That’s what it’s like to live in a log cabin.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT SS-1000-CL SUPER SPREADER
The Super Spreader SS-1000-CL cast net takes catching bait to a new level. A continuous weight line allows the net to sink evenly, and it provides a better seal on the bottom. With a “true” pound of weight per radius foot it also sinks at a faster rate. Superior design means this net captures more baitfish on each throw, and it has made it America’s No. 1 selling net. Exclusive Japanese monofilament resin netting, available in mesh sizes from 3/8” to 1”, is soft and strong for superior performance. Heavy-duty, high-count 90-pound-test Braille lines make for a stronger net with a more secure closure on retrieval. This net performs well shallow and deep. The 30-foot-long, high-floating braided polyethylene line is perfect for deep water and currents, and Fitec’s KOMFORT KUFF reduces chaffing on the throwing wrists for anglers who are serious about filling up the bait tanks. The SS-1000-CL Super Spreader is available in sizes of 6, 8, 10 and 12 feet with 3/8” mesh, and 8, 10 and 12 feet with 1” mesh. Look for it at your local bait shop or find it online at castnets.com.

s you pull onto the side of the road, you see mullet being chased by predators in the skinny waters of St. George Sound. You can’t help but grin because you know this area is inaccessible to most boats, and you’ll likely have it all to yourself. Redfish, trout, flounder, jack crevalle, pompano and so many more species are yours for the taking once you’ve settled into your kayak and floated away from land. There are more than 40 canoe/kayak launches in and around Franklin County, Fla. Most are found within Tate’s Hell State Forest or the Apalachicola National Forest. The freedom kayaking offers anglers in this area is a refreshing alternative to motorized boating, and the amount of accessible waters seems endless. From the Carrabelle River to St. Vincent Sound, to include the Apalachicola River, Apalachicola Bay, St. George Sound and East Bay, these diverse ecosystems where fresh and salt waters meet create a kayak fisherman’s paradise. Slip your ’yak into Scipio Creek at the mouth of The Apalachicola River, paddle up the marsh and catch bass, trout and reds all in the same trip. Throw it in the Gulf of Mexico off of St. George Island and bag some pompano for the table; you can do both in the same day! You don’t have to be an expert kayaker to enjoy a day gliding across these pristine waters to cast for world-class fish or simply take in the amazing scenery; you don’t even have to own one. Places like Island Outfitters and Journeys have them for rent. Advice on how to catch what’s biting is always free, and they have all the gear you need for a successful day of fishing or just paddling.
The fall version of the Apalachicola Paddle Jam festival will be held Oct. 6-8 in Apalachicola and on St. George Island. This three-day festival celebrates the Forgotten Coast through paddlesports, music and food, with events happening at various locations in Apalachicola and St. George Island. The highlight of the event will be an attempt by paddlers to break the world record for the largest floating kayak raft. For those with a competitive fishing edge, there will be a kayak fishing tournament. This event promises to be huge fun! If you’ve never experienced the peace and joy that kayaking can bring, add this to your bucket list and give it a go. There’s a reason this sport is growing so rapidly… it’s a blast, and this area is a kayaker’s paradise! Franklin County features multiple kayak and boat rental options. For a complete list of rentals, charters and supplies, visit

Your fish is waiting. Florida’s Forgotten Coast
Boaters and mariners will find something to love in Franklin County. Carrabelle features deep water access to the Gulf of Mexico and freshwater rivers. Plan a kayak or day sailing eco-adventure from Apalachicola or St. George Island. Eastpoint and Alligator Point offer direct access to the best inshore fishing on the Gulf Coast. Bring your own boat or rent one here; there’s no better place to enjoy Florida’s Forgotten Coast.

TIPS FROM A PRO
NORTH CAROLINA
I
BRANDON LESTER
finished sixth in the recent Bassmaster Elite Series event on Lake Champlain in New York and Vermont using a fairly new technique called the “Ned rig” and a dropshot. The Ned has been out for a couple of years now, but I just picked it up and started fishing it this past spring. I haven’t put it down since, and I can assure you the Ned is here to stay. When I first saw it, I wondered under what circumstance would it be any better than a shaky head or a drop shot. Let me explain it like this: A mechanic has a whole box full of tools. Some of those tools can serve multiple purposes, but there will always be one tool that does each job the best. The Ned rig is a tool you better have in your bass fishing box. The Ned rig really shines when fish are on a clean bottom in pretty clear water. The rig itself is basically a mushroom-style jighead with an exposed hook. The exposed hook makes it tough to use in cover. Start by looking for banks or flats where the bottom is fairly clean with some isolated targets that hold fish. These objects could be mooring buoys, big rocks, stumps, or really anything for the fish to get around. Although the Ned is a fairly slow way to fish, you can still cover water once you figure out the targets the fish are holding on. I’ve also had success fishing the Ned on bluff-type banks in the winter and early spring. This is especially good on lakes with smallmouth or spotted bass, but I’ve caught all three species on this rig. The way I fish the Ned is simple. All you do is let it fall to the bottom on a slack line. Watch your line as it’s falling, as sometimes they will grab it on the fall. Once the bait hits the bottom, tighten your line and shake your rod tip. All you’re doing is shaking the bait in place, not moving it forward. Once you’ve shaken it, move the bait toward you a foot or two and do the same thing. Most of your bites will come on the initial fall or the first or
second time you shake it, so don’t waste too much time on a cast. Many times you won’t feel the bite, so it is important to use a line you can see to detect a fish swimming off with the bait. The right rod, reel, line, jighead and bait are the key to making this technique work. I start with an MHX-EPS81-MLXF rod that is 6’9” in length and mediumlight action. I like a pretty soft rod so I can throw that light jighead a long way. Use a good quality 2500-size spinning reel filled with 10lb. Vicious Hi-Vis yellow braid for your main line with a 6- to 8-foot leader of 8-lb. Vicious Pro Elite fluorocarbon. I use the new Mustad Grip Pin Ned jigheads. I mostly between a 1/8-ounce, but they are made up to 1/4 ounce with 1/0, 2/0 or 3/0 hooks. I use an X-Zone Lures True Center Stick cut in half for almost all of my Ned-rigging.

CONTRIBUTING WRITERS
This month’s Coastal Angler Spotlight shines on Centerville Waterway Marina, a great family-run dealership located right at milepost 15 on the Intracoastal Waterway in Chesapeake. The Hubbard family can be found daily in the showroom, behind the cash register, at the docks, or in the service shop. The Hubbards have been servicing our local market for over 18 years, through good times and bad. They experienced the near-devastation of the 2008 economic downturn, and nearly a decade later they’re still proudly serving northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia customers with a smile. President Kim Hubbard says “We’re having a great year in both sales and service; it’s boating seasons like this and customers like ours that make coming to work every day a pleasure”.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
They have a great location to test boats and give demonstration rides to prospective customers, with a launch ramp right next to the showroom. They’re a short drive from just about anywhere in Hampton Roads and eastern North Carolina; if you’re headed their way, make time for the great Seafood Buffet Lunch at Kelly’s Tavern, just a few miles away near Lock’s Point in Great Bridge, a favorite with locals, boaters and tourists.

CATCHIN’ AND COOKIN’ By Jim Baugh
SEPTEMBER HITS THE SPOT! September and October are among my favorite months for fishing because things get a bit easier. Sure I like to do the sportsman thing, you know, try to get that uninterested cobia to grab an eel, entice a marlin offshore, figure out why the spadefish won’t touch my clam, and the list goes on and on. By September I am just happy to be guaranteed that when I through my hook down below, a fish will be tugging on it within seconds. That my friend is spot fishing and I love it. Spot can be found throughout the Bay buy my favorite place to catch them is the Hampton Roads area between the HRBT and the MM Bridge. Fishing in the channel in 70 feet of water drifting over and past the tunnels is always a good bet for locating schools of spot. Another great location is the 17 foot hole in Phoebus just in front of the commercial boats. We have produced a couple of shows there and it is a great location that also holds a lot of rockfish at night. Fisherman use a lot of different baits but my fav is always the blood worm. It simply out produces anything else. Dining on spot is also always a treat. Fresh fried spot is hard to beat they almost taste like butter. I grew up eating spot as a kid and still love them to this day. Fall is also a great time for other sports activities like one of my favorite and daily pastimes, cycling. The between the waters bike tour 25th anniversary on the Eastern Shore is coming up Oct 28th and this event you don’t want to miss. For registration and more information log on to cbes. org. Last years event sold out both the bike tour and oyster roast so get your registration is asap!
To watch our new cobia feature and all the latest films we have produced as well as our 30 year catalog of TV Shows check out our Jim Baugh Outdoors Channel at www.youtube.com/c/JimBaughOutdoors And be sure to visit our new Tideline Boats Playlist. We will have more info on the new 36 offshore soon. Jim Baugh, Jimbaugh.net, Jim Baugh Outdoors TV
JIM BAUGH’S RECIPE OF THE MONTH
FRIED SPOT First scale your fish and then take off the heads, gut, and clean. Score the sides with a knife. Wash carefully and set fish aside. Sprinkle fresh ground sea salt and cracked pepper lightly on all the filets then coat is your favorite seafood breader mix. In a cast iron skillet melt two sticks of butter and bring pan to a medium high heat. Sauté your spot filets until they are golden brown on each side. You are done. Serve by peeling the center backbone out of the filets leaving nothing but meat. Delish!

TIDEWATER & THE OUTER BANKS 5

TIDEWATER AND THE OUTER BANKS
Virginia Beach SPORTFISHING RUNDOWN By Dr. Julie Ball, IGFA Representative, Virginia Beach
L
abor Day marks the end of summer for many, but the fall fishing scene in Virginia is just getting started. The cooler water temperatures encourage the summer species to prepare for their migration out of the area, while cold water species begin to settle in. Inshore, cobia will continue to provide good action for sight casters through the end of the month, but Virginia’s season closes on the 15th of September. Look for fish cruising on the surface in pods and schools as they begin heading south. Checking out bridge pilings and navigational buoys can also provide easy marks with eels or jigs. Flounder action can be very good in the fall as the flatfish gather at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay as they prepare to migrate offshore to deeper water. More flounder will also collect on inshore and offshore wrecks, along with good sized seabass and hungry trigger fish, but remember that seabass become off limits on the 21st of the month. Red drum become the center of attention once again as they leave the area during the fall transition. For now, big reds will continue to roam near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and the lower bay barrier islands, eventually shifting to the artificial islands of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Fresh cut bait and live bait work well while bottom fishing near the islands. Next, big bull reds can debut in the surflines along Sandbridge and the Wildlife Preserve at any time. Any northly blow can jump-start very good drum action, with fresh mullet and spot the best bait for drum in the surf. Puppy drum action will pick up in most shallows, inlets, creeks, and in the surf off Dam Neck, Sandbridge, and the Eastern Shore Barrier islands this month. Both Lynnhaven and Rudee Inlets are good locations for pups, where juvenile reds favor cut fresh mullet. Fall speckled trout catches can be unpredictable this time of year, but Hungar’s Creek, and Rudee and Lynnhaven Inlets are showing good potential this year. Spot action has been decent so far this season, and the bite should remain steady for these fall favorites though the month. Decent fish can offer good action

along the southern and western sections of the lower bay and along the Virginia Beach ocean front. Favorite spot locations include the Monitor-Merrimack Memorial Bridge Tunnel, the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, and Rudee and Lynnhaven Inlets. Local fishing piers are always a hot place for nice spot, with the best bites often happening on the incoming tide. Croaker are active this month, with good catches of fish ranging up to around 1.5-pounds taking bait in most any deep-water location in the bay. The lower bay inlets will also hold some nicer fish. Spanish mackerel will remain available along tide rips off the shorelines of Virginia Beach on small spoons well into October. King mackerel can also take trolled offerings, throughout next month. Big sheepshead will continue to linger on the structure of the Bay BridgeTunnel over the next few weeks, along with decent triggerfish. Tautog action is rekindling for the fall trend, with the season reopening on the 19th this month. Remember you can keep up to three fish stretching to at least 16-inches. Most folks are not interested in amberjack since there is plenty to try for offshore, but big AJ’s will likely hang around the Southern Towers through the end of October. Deep droppers will continue to reel in nice catches of big blueline and golden tilefish, black bellied rosefish and jumbo seabass in water ranging from 300 to 700 feet all month. The Virginia offshore fall billfish action will likely provide the very best action of the season. White marlin are always the main offshore event in September, but sailfish may still be around, along with some spearfish and scattered blue marlin. A few decent yellowfin and bigeye tuna will also be lurking about the Norfolk Canyon. Gaffer and bailer dolphin are usually plentiful in September, along with a few nicer wahoo starting to show. The swordfish scene could heat up as the waters cool, with a few decent fish caught recently.

SEPTEMBER 2017
In September when the crowds start to thin out and the weather starts to cool, the surf fishing on the Outer Banks really starts to heat up. Depending on the air and water temps, prevailing winds and currents the fishing can produce excellent catches of bluefish, flounder, sea mullet, red drum and trout. Because of these excellent fishing opportunities there are many annual surf fishing tournaments to participate on the Outer Banks. Here are few you can sign up for with the exception of the Cape Hatteras Anglers Club Invitational Tournament, which has a long waiting list to add teams. Because of the flooding last fall on Hatteras Island, along with the recent power loss to the island for more than a week, these business owners need help to sustain them through the winter. So while you are down there, take your Christmas list and start your shopping early and help the Hatteras Island economy. Sept. 7-9 / Hatteras Village Invitational / Hatteras Island Beaches / Hatteras Sept. 22-24 / 2nd Hatteras Island Surf Fishing Challenge / Camp Hatteras Clubhouse / Waves Oct. 5-7 / Nags Head Surf Fishing Club Invitational / Ramada Inn KDH / Nags Head Oct. 21-22 / Capital City 24 Hour Tourney / Fessenden Center / Buxton Oct. 25-28 / NCBBA Red Drum Tournament / TBA / Avon Nov. 1-4 / CHAC Invitational Tourney / Hatteras Island Beaches / Buxton Before you head out to surf fish this fall, make sure you check your tires and your spare tire and make sure they are in good condition. You don’t want to have tire issues on Hatteras Island and have to try to find a tire on the island. Also now is the time check your 4 wheel drive, brakes and cooling system. You want to come down to the island to have fun and fish-- not spend your time in the repair shop. Now that your vehicle is read, make sure you have a good tow rope and/or chain, a good jack, shovel and boards to use in case you or a friend gets stuck in that Carolina Sugar Sand that is present on several ramps. Make sure you have a good tire pressure gauge and above all make sure you air down to 20-25 pounds of pressure in your tires. By letting the air down in your tires, they widen the footprint of your tire, which will help you not make ruts and not get stuck. There are two groups of people who get stuck on the beach, and they are those that have and those that will. Remember that and stop and help those that do get stuck because you may be next. Also before you hit the beaches, make sure you stop at the NPS Ranger’s Office at Bodie Island or Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Office and get your ORV Permit. The permit is now good for 365 days from purchase and you can also get a 10 day permit. Finally, make sure you have your NC Coastal Fishing License. Now that all of that is done-- go forth and fish and have fun!

SINGLE ENGINE DOCKING TIPS

saturDay
No matter your skill level or experience boating, you’ve crashed a dock at least once. Those with years of experience make it look easy. For boaters with single engine rigs, here are some tips that might make things go a bit easier. • Few things are more frustrating than equipment failure. To minimize the chances, make sure your engine’s idling right, doesn’t stall at low speeds, and the shift mechanism is adjusted properly for smooth shifts. • Come in slow, under steady power (no neutral). When it’s windy, high current and/or rough, never use neutral; only pause in neutral if it’s calm. • On windy days, reduce your “sail area”…take the Bimini top down, for example, as it will catch the wind and make it easier to push you off course. • If the wind is blowing you away from the pier, compensate by approaching towards the center or even the other side of the dock. If it’s blowing you toward the dock, leave extra room as you approach, so the wind can push you toward the dock without hitting it. • An outboard or stern drive steers from the rear of the boat; inboards steer from the center. Outboards and stern drives steer more precisely in reverse; you’re actually directing the propeller thrust and drive unit—as opposed to an inboard, where you’re using a rudder to change direction. • Practice at a deserted dock, much as you practiced driving a car in a deserted parking lot. • Use only short, controlled bursts of throttle, and not overly excessive. Too little, and the wind and current will take over; too much and you’ll likely bump the dock. • Ask for help. There’s no shame in asking your crew to stand by with fenders—warn them about catching hands and feet on the dock! • Always turn the wheel just before applying power—not after, especially in tight quarters. You want the boat to go in the direction you’re aiming it. • Approach the dock at a slow forward idle, aiming the bow at a slight angle in. As you reach the parking spot you’re after, turn the wheel toward the dock and shift smoothly to reverse, which brings the stern around neatly toward the dock.

WATERWAYS HERITAGE FESTIVAL By Mike Buss
T
his month let’s talk about an event that is becoming a must see for fly fishermen in this area. I’m talking about the Great Bridge Battlefield and Waterways History Foundation’s Annual Waterways Heritage Festival on Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15, 2017. Located on the Intercoastal Waterway in Chesapeake, VA, the Waterways Heritage Festival is truly a rich celebration of Chesapeake’s waterways and cultural heritage. Recently it has also become a celebration of fly fishing in the Chesapeake area with guest speakers Lefty Kreh and Ed Jaworowski attending the last two years. This year the guest speaker will be Bob Clouser, creator of the famed Clouser Minnow fly pattern. He will be available to demonstrate tying his Clouser Minnow fly along with showing how to effectively cast it. Bob has also authored a number of fly fishing books that will be available for purchase at the Famed fly-fisherman, event. He will also be available to Bob Clouser sign them with a personal message if you wish. In addition to Bob Clouser, the Virginia Coastal Fly Anglers will also have a table set up to talk about fly fishing opportunities in the local area. There will also be instructors available to show you how to fly cast and rig your fly rod. We will also have tables set up to show you how to tie flies and all of the materials will be furnished. This has been a very popular event for children to learn the basics of fly tying and casting. The Festival hosts several guilds, exhibitors, and vendors from across the Commonwealth showcasing the skills, talents, and craftiness of people and their trades that have contributed to the establishment and development of this unique region. Exhibitors and vendors display, demonstrate, and sell handmade crafts including baked goods, basketry, historic Batteaus, beekeeping, doll making, fiber arts, fine art, handbags, jams, jewelry, knitting, live music, living history, pottery, quilting, sewing, sheep shearing, soap making, spinning, storytelling, weaving, woodworking, and lots more. The Waterways Heritage Festival features free admittance, parking, and shuttle service provided by Chesapeake Emergency Response Team and Fire Department. Also this year, attendees will be able to enjoy free the unique experience of traveling through the locks and learning from Batteau and Virginia Canals & Navigations Society members about the history of transportation through the liquid highways of yesteryear. Children can learn how to make cornhusk dolls from local girl scouts, and elementary and middle school students that participate in a Scavenger Hunt Quiz are entered in a raffle for a chance to win a pizza party for their classroom. It’s fun for the entire family. Battlefield Park South, 120 Reservation Road, Chesapeake, VA

OBX INSHORE FISHING By Aaron Kelly
September is a great time of year. Mullets are splashing and everything seems to be on the move. Speckled trout, flounder and redfish seem to cooperate on just about every marsh point with a bit of current. Tossing light Triggerfish jigs and hopping across the bottom gets the bite. A light 8lb spinning outfit fits the bill. Small stripers and blues aggressively attack the jigs as well! Sheepshead are around just about every piling to snap up a sand flea. Push east of the inlet and look for bait on the sonar or birds working. False albacore will test your knots. Blues and Spanish mackerel will keep the action hopping for kids of all ages. Cobia still linger along inlet tide lines. Big reds can be spotted in schools with marauding blacktip sharks a mile or so off the beach. Triggerfish still swim around inshore wrecks. It’s just an epic time to spend some time on the brine! Get out there and go fishing. If we get bowled over by a hurricane and the water is clouded up go with fresh cut bait. Fish are still there and are still hungry. Thanks and enjoy the OBX outdoors!

LER DES
E
By Nick Carter
xcept in its delayed harvest section at Spruce Pine, N.C, the North Toe is a river often overlooked because of a perceived lack of access. This is a mistake. The North Toe is a valley river with roadside access that receives surprisingly little fishing pressure and fishes pretty well because of this. It took a trip with Cade Buchanan, of Mountain Troutfitters, to convince me. Cade grew up in Avery County, across the street from the North Toe and has fished it since he was old enough to walk across the street with a fishing rod. Without his kind of local knowledge, it is easy to see why this perception of limited access persists. The North Toe runs through small farms and privately held property as a small to medium sized river through its accessible length. There is ample roadside access, but one must watch out for posted property. Downstream of the Minneapolis community, the river parallels U.S. 19E for more than 12 miles. It might not be bounded by Forest Service land, but there are long stretches of water that are not posted. The streambed is rocky. The water has a slight brown stain as it careens around boulders and over bedrock shelves with some good runs, pocket water and a few big holes. It is a flat bottomland river with easy wading and plenty of room to cast to deceptively deep runs. On a late summer day, I watched Cade expertly pluck numerous 9- to 12-inch trout from the North Toe using a double nymph rig with a big brown stonefly as his point fly. Then I watched Bob Ivins, also of Mountain Troutfitters, battle and land a rainbow in the 18- to 20-inch range. There are good fish in this river for the angler who knows how to get to them. There isn’t much signage indicating where one is allowed to fish, but there also isn’t much signage restricting access. Some of this roadside water probably remains available because of the limited pressure the river sees. Those looking for obvious access to a lot of trout will find it in Spruce Pine, where there is a section of the North Toe designated for delayed harvest. This stretch is also Mountain Heritage waters, which means anglers can fish it with a 3-day Mountain Heritage license that only costs $5. This piece of water obviously receives pressure. It runs through the heart of town as a wide and flat river with easy access and easy wading. It is pretty big water, and there are some deep holes where stocked fish tend to congregate. Getting nymph rigs down deep is a key to consistent success. With lightly pressured hatchery fish, some wild and holdover fish, and the delayed harvest stretch, the North Toe is a good resource that goes largely unnoticed in the shadow of its more famous sister, the South Toe. For GPS coordinates to access points on the North Toe and the rest of the region’s trout fisheries, check out “Flyfisher’s Guide To North Carolina & Georgia.” This comprehensive guide is available on Amazon, and signed copies are available by emailing the author at nsc8957@gmail.com.

t is a great time of year to throw big and nasty dry flies. Just about anywhere you go, big dries will work from the smallest streams to the biggest tailwaters. Anglers who want to catch fish should be casting hopper patterns, beetles, Letort Crickets and the biggest dry flies in the box. Many of the sparse hatches of mayflies and caddis flies have dissipated. If you see a hatch, these insects will be tiny, anyway. Since trout have become accustomed to looking up for their next meal, larger flies can be very enticing for trout to engulf. Remember that breezy early mornings and late evenings will find natural terrestrials in streams. Many will be knocked into the water due carelessness, by the wind or by being on the wrong leaf at the wrong time. One of the best things about throwing larger flies is they are easy to see for most anglers of any age, and watching a trout slash up to grab one is a blast. Here are some tips on how to use that big old dry fly. Many anglers attempt to softly land a large dry fly pattern like a hopper the same way they would a tiny midge. But when mimicking terrestrials, there’s no need to be delicate. Big trout eat big patterns. Both the streamer-chasing browns and the big rainbows will come out of nowhere, and from a distance, to cream a big hopper. But first, you must get their attention. A real grasshopper is heavy. When these things hit the water’s surface in nature, it is with what I would call a blop. This is the attention getter. Forget the soft landing, you’re better off making a splash. No luck with the dry? Go with a hopper/dropper pattern. A big hopper makes an excellent indicator. Use a big number 6 or 8 on top with a small number 16 to 20 as the dropper. Remember, hatches are smaller in the summertime. Any takes on the subsurface fly will jerk that big dry under the water. It’s easy to see, so just set the hook! Where to fish these big flies depends a lot on the angler. Good casters can toss these things up under an 18-inch opening in the rhododendron, where trout will be hiding. It gives credence to one of my favorite sayings, “good casters catch all the fish.” Grassy areas along the bank are a surefire place where grasshoppers might find their way into the stream. And casting a beetle pattern above a log in the bank can be another dandy tactic. Even the wide-open middle of the stream can be productive, because sometimes it seems trout just can’t refuse a big hunk of meat.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT HOOKER ELECTRIC Hooker Electric strives to stay ahead of the curve by listening to what fishermen think might be lacking in the current market or what options would help make their fishing easier and more successful. Last month at the ICAST Show in Orlando, Hooker released their version of an electric reel with an auto stop feature. Currently, this modification is available for the Shimano Tiagra 80 and 130 and the Penn International 80 VSW. Soon, it will be available for the Tiagra 50 and Penn 130. The main benefit of the auto stop feature is that the reel can be set to stop retrieving line at any interval, including just before your terminal tackle reaches the rod tip. The auto stop feature can be used for swordfishing, deep dropping, pulling dredges and teasers or even high-speed trolling. Another great benefit is that you can control the reel from your iPhone through Hooker Electric’s app, ReelTime. All Hooker Electric reels come with full variable speed control that allows the angler to determine how fast line is retrieved. While the 16, 20 and 30 kite reel models operate on 12 volt systems, the 50, 70, 80 and 130 models are available for both 12 and 24 VDC systems and don’t require a converter box. Hooker Electric reels are the fastest on the market, saving time and sometimes money. In addition, all models retain the benefit of the OEM handle for when the angler is feeling a bit sporty and wants to hand crank on a sea monster.

Spectacular Salmon Season is On! By Frank Geremski
L
ake Ontario consistently produces some of the best Great Lakes salmon catches, and this year’s fishing has been nothing short of spectacular. Significant early summer rains brought high water, which stimulated a feeding frenzy for giant king salmon. Recent summers have endured dry weather, low water and thinner salmon runs. Both lake and river health was questioned during these dry years, but cool and plentiful rains have done wonders for this fishery. It’s prime time to tangle with beasts that have been tipping the scales over 30 pounds! The experts are excited about lake and river conditions in New York’s Oswego County, holder of 12 New York state and world records. Bob Mallory is an expert on Lake Ontario and Oswego Harbor, where he pursues his passion for trout and salmon. Here are Bob’s thoughts on the 2017 Salmon Season: “Fishing in the lake out of the port of Oswego has Tom Fernandez of The continued to get better every Tailwater Lodge with a trophy week as the season has proearly season King Salmon! gressed. The number of fish being hooked and caught right now is nothing short of amazing and points to a great river season. Trolling in the lake with downriggers and Dipsy Divers with flashers and flies has been my go-to method. In low light conditions, white eChip flashers with A-Tom-Mik Hammer flies is producing. In overcast conditions, try greens; brighter days favor chrome and Mountain Dew colors. As fish get closer to the pier head, J-plugs will produce.” Tom Fernandez and the team at The Tailwater Lodge on New York’s Salmon River have developed a premier fishing resort. Huge salmon can attract a crowd when they blast up shallow runs and riffles on this picturesque river. The Tailwater’s 35 acres of private access solves that issue, and they provide a top-notch fishing concierge service. Tom is looking forward to an early salmon season with these words: “As the nights get colder in Altmar, we can only think about one thing, trophy king salmon exploding outside our back door in the Schoolhouse Pool. This year we are expecting the run to start earlier than we have seen in the past few years, with kings and cohos in the river system from September through October until we get deep into steelhead season. The high levels of Lake Ontario, the consistent good flow through the Salmon River and fish staging outside Oswego and Mexico Point have all the necessary ingredients for one heck of a salmon season. If I were looking for a time to experience the trophy fish on the Salmon River with thinner crowds, warmer temps and explosive fish, I would think about making the early run this year.” To truly experience the salmon spawning process and have a great adventure with the family, the Salmon River Fish Hatchery in Altmar, N.Y. will hold their annual open house Sept. 23, where you can view the complete spawning cycle. To learn more about Oswego County fishing, go to www.visitoswegocounty/fishing.com. Phil Belsito of The Angler Magazine of West Michigan said Lake Michigan fish are large and plentiful also. Go to www.theanglermag.com, then select Great Lakes Region for reports from both Lake Michigan and Lake Ontario.

he quick answer to this question is “probably not.” The ideal lens for the visual rigors of hunting is an amber lens, sometimes referred to as a copper lens. Not to make this more complicated than it needs to be, but a green lens is sometimes referred to as a G-15 or gray lens. Depending on the time of day and sun coverage, the gray (green) lens may also be a preferred option for hunting. As a hunter, I prefer the low-light sensitive amber lens. The majority of my opportunities seem to come either during the early morning or late afternoon to dusk windows, when light enhancement is preferable to light dispersal. The requirements of your fishing sunglasses are starkly different than your hunting glasses. Looking deep into the water is directly in contrast to seeing long range with limited light. Selecting the perfect hunting sunglasses normally takes a bit of trial and error. My best advice when selecting a new pair of hunting sunglasses is to purchase them from a dealer with a liberal return policy. Finding your best fit and lens requires a little work, but once you find your perfect pair you will find that they improve and enhance your hunting experience. If you need any further advice on selecting your perfect hunting lens, always feel free to contact me or anyone here at Fowler’s. We know sunglasses. Fowler’s Pharmacy, 864-288-5905; 864-288-5920

n late July, the attention of national news media turned briefly to a huge mako shark caught off the coast of New Jersey. The 12-foot-long, 926-pound shortfin mako outweighed the current state record by 70 pounds, but because the rod passed hands during the fight it will not be officially recognized as a new record. The big shark broke a rod in the fight to bring it aboard the 44-foot charter boat Jenny Lee, captained by Dave Bender. It happened during an overnight charter, drifting in 1,500 feet of water 100-miles out of Manasquan Inlet near the famous Hudson Canyon. Shortly after excitement began to fizzle over this great catch, information was released on a new tagging study that suggests shortfin mako sharks might be experiencing overfishing in the western North Atlantic. Researchers from Nova Southeastern University’s Guy Harvey Research Institute (GHRI), the University of Rhode Island and other colleagues followed 40 satellite-tagged sharks in real time and 12 of them, or 30 percent, were captured in fisheries. This information suggests the fishing mortality rates of shortfin mako sharks might be considerably higher than previously estimated using catches reported by fishermen, according to the press release. And despite their small sample size, researchers questioned the reliability of traditional data collection methods and expressed a serious concern over whether the current level of fishery catches for shortfin makos in the North Atlantic are sustainable.

FLY FISHING
Lefty’s Deceiver By Carlos Hidalgo
A
lthough he would deny it, Lefty Kreh is a legend. With great knowledge (he has authored or co-authored over 30 books and hundreds of magazine articles), boundless energy (he has performed countless lectures and casting demonstrations over the last 60+ years), down-home humor (a dumb person would “pick up a snake to kill a stick”), and showmanship (at casting demos, he finds a pretty woman and makes a cast that curls the fly line around her neck), Lefty has done more to popularize fly fishing than any other person in the last century. He has fished with Fidel Castro, Ted Williams and Ernest Hemmingway, but he hasn’t just witnessed fly fishing history, he has created it. His innovative fly casting techniques are used by millions of us today. Oh yeah, he also developed Lefty’s Deceiver, the best fly pattern ever devised. Lefty tied the first Deceiver during the late 1950s. He wanted a fly that was easy to cast, didn’t foul, looked like a baitfish and had great action in the water. The pattern can be easily described: a tail made up of several matching hackle or saddle feathers with a bucktail collar. Add flash material to either or both, eyes to
the head and some type of red material for the throat, as needed. The hook shank beneath the collar (the body) can be wrapped with the tying thread or a flashy material, like mylar tinsel or Diamond Braid. By the way, Lefty says the key to the pattern is to tie the collar at least as long as the rear of the hook, which keeps the hackle tail from wrapping around the hook. In appropriate sizes and colors, Lefty’s pattern has deceived just about every fish that swims, from four-inch bream to 400-pound billfish. Lefty’s Deceiver has even graced a U.S. Postal stamp. Lefty’s favorite Deceiver colors are chartreuse/white and yellow/ chartreuse. I tie them in many sizes and colors, and my favorite is tied in a Firetiger color scheme. This color works very well for many saltwater fish in sizes 1/0 to 3/0. It has also been very successful for me for peacock bass and largemouth bass in south Florida in size 2. I imagine smallies would jump all over it, too. Lefty’s Deceiver (Firetiger) Hook - Mustad 34007 or similar, size 2 to 3/0 Thread - fluorescent yellow Tail - two yellow and one yellow grizzly hackle on each side, topped with yellow Krystal Flash Body - yellow thread or Diamond Braid Collar - yellow bucktail with yellow Krystal flash and a small yellow grizzly hackle on each side, topped with green Krystal Flash and green bucktail Throat - orange bucktail, as long as the collar Head - fluorescent yellow, with painted orange/black eye, covered with five-minute epoxy Contact Carlos at cah6620@gmail.com to submit a pattern for consideration in this column or to order his book, “South Florida’s Peacock Bass.”
By John Rice
This is a simple tie and a very effective pattern for trout everywhere. Soft hackles are basically emerger patterns. They do not belong on the streambed like nymphs, so this fly should be dropped a foot or so off a nymph so it can suspend itself higher in the water column where an emerger belongs. Thread: 8/0 olive Abdomen: Olive goose biot Thorax: Tan superfine dubbing Hackle: Hungarian partridge Head: 8/0 Olive thread Hook: 1X long, size 18 Tiemco 3761 John Rice guides with Blackhawk Fly Fishing, which offers exceptional fishing for trophy trout in the north Georgia mountains.
