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.

MAHALO, RODNEY...

On December 11th at 3:00 p.m. the marine industry lost one of its kindest and most heartfelt supporters. A lifelong supporter of environmental awareness, the love of nature and teaching kids how to !sh, Rodney Smith was the earliest proponent of Florida’s groundbreaking net ban. He was the founder and publisher of the original Coastal Angler Magazine, creator and tireless volunteer of its Hook Kids On Fishing Program. Capt. Rodney Smith spent the better part of his life trying to improve the marine environment and sharing the wonders of the art and sport of !shing.

Rodney’s love and kindness was boundless.

Lifeguard, !shing captain, surfer, author, entrepreneur, and friend to all, Rodney Smith’s time on this earth was well spent helping others and showing love to Mother Nature and the marine environment.

Anyone whoever walked with Rodney would have invariably returned with a bag or pocketful of trash that he picked up along the way and then a erwards meticulously separated for recycling. Anyone whoever disparaged anyone else in Rodney’s presence would have immediately heard something positive about that person from Rodney. at’s just who he was.

Loving father, caring husband and faith driven entrepreneur, Rodney’s life was truly exemplary and saintlike. He will be missed, but he will also surely receive the same pat on the back and heartfelt “Good Job” that he gave to so many others while here.

Cold Water Winter Fishing for Trout in the Smoky Mountains

When winter descends upon the Smoky Mountains, the streams and rivers transform into a serene and picturesque setting. For avid anglers, this season o ers a unique and rewarding opportunity to !sh for trout. Cold water !shing in the Smokies during winter demands preparation, knowledge, and patience, but the solitude and satisfaction of hooking a trout in these crisp conditions make it all worthwhile.

Trout are cold-water !sh, and they remain active during the winter, albeit at a slower pace. eir metabolism decreases as water temperatures drop, making them less aggressive and more selective in their feeding habits. During this season, trout tend to conserve energy by holding in deeper pools or near submerged structures where currents are slow and food is more accessible.

e Smoky Mountains, known for their pristine streams and diverse aquatic habitats, provide excellent winter !shing opportunities. e recent storm damage has not changed that, although access and former topographical structuring may be somewhat altered the !sh have adapted and so will anglers. Rainbow, brown, and brook trout can all be found in the cold, clear waters of this region, with brook trout being particularly prevalent in the higher elevations.

Winter !shing requires careful planning to ensure success and safety. e Smoky Mountains can get bitterly cold in winter. Dressing in layers, including moisturewicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and waterproof outerwear, is crucial. Gloves and a hat are always a must: Nymphs, midges, and small streamers are excellent choices for winter trout !shing. Patterns like the Zebra Midge, Pheasant Tail, and Woolly Bugger o en prove e ective. Since aquatic insect activity is minimal in winter, imitating small and slowmoving prey is key.

Junior Anglers Catch Fish, Fun & Prizes

At Virgin Island

Game Fishing

Club’s Annual Kid’s Fishing Tournament, Earl Questel, 13-year-old came running to the weighstation set up at IGY’s American Yacht Harbor Marina, in Red Hook. Wow, Questel caught a whopper! Professionals from the Department of Planning & Natural Resources (DPNR) Fish & Wildlife Division weighed in the Tarpon at 3690-grams (8.1 pounds). “It was there swimming in a school by the dock,” says Questel, who earned first place in the tournament for the biggest fish by weight. “It came to my bait, and I caught it.” Questel was one of 165 anglers ages 14 years and younger who competed in this annual event hosted by the Virgin Islands Game Fishing Club. The tournament was free to junior anglers and promoted the sport and life skills of recreational fishing and catch-andrelease conservation.

Tots to teens, accompanied by parents and friends, spread out along the marina docks and tried their luck. Club members walked the docks and helped junior anglers and adults alike with everything from fishing techniques to untangling lines. It didn’t take long for the fish-catching action to happen.

Grunt, snapper, tarpon, and tomtates numbered among the day’s catch. Junior anglers practiced conservation by keeping their fish in a bucket of

seawater until weighed and then released their catch back into the sea.

The tournament’s overwhelming success was evident on the young faces as they ate pizza and drank cold drinks following the Noon call for lines out. Prize giving followed shortly after.

“The Virgin Islands Game Fishing Club provides handlines and buckets, while Neptune Fishing Supplies donates fishing rods as prizes so kids and families can continue fishing year-round. It’s what we as a Club are all about. That is, passing these skills and a love of fishing to the next generation,” says Kelvin Bailey, Jr., president of the VIGFC Board of Directors.

Sponsored by IGY’s American Yacht Harbor and Island Time Pub, with prize donations from Neptune Fishing Supplies, Lattes in Paradise, Ocean Surfari, Shen Dragon, Red Hook Dive Center, Coki Dive Center, the St. Thomas Swimming Association, Neptune Fishing Supplies, Nomads Bar & Grille and Splash Zone.

Newhard Top Angler, Double Header Top Boat in Virgin Islands Game Fishing Club’s Annual Wahoo Windup Tournament

There were no birds overhead or floaters on the water to indicate something big lay beneath the waves. Yet, as the 27’ Sea Hunt, Morning Wood, trolled the edge of the South Drop, angler Enzo Newhard hooked up a whopper wahoo. Ten minutes later, it was in the boat. At the weigh-in at IGY’s American Yacht Harbor Marina, the wahoo hit 60.71 pounds, landing Newhard as the Top Angler in the Virgin Islands Game Fishing Club’s Annual

Wahoo Windup Tournament. Newhard’s catch was less than 15 pounds shy of winning the $25,000 prize for the tournament angler who caught the largest wahoo over 75 pounds.

“We knew the wahoo were biting this week,” says the Morning Wood’s Captain Kai Holmberg. “We circled the spot where we caught the fish for an hour or two afterward. As they say, don’t leave fish to find fish. But we didn’t catch anything else.”

Meanwhile, St. Thomas’ AJ Cabrera, angling off Mixed Bag, caught the Second Largest wahoo at 53.5 pounds, while St. Thomas’ Lauren Gewinner, brought the Third Largest wahoo to the scales at 37.0 pounds.

The Best Boat prize, determined by most wahoo by count, went to

Double Header, with five fish weighing a total of 129.1 pounds.

“We left from Sapphire, headed south to French Cap, and then trolled west. The first two fish came between 8-9 a.m. There was nothing for a while. Around 1 p.m., we got the third one, our biggest fish. Then, we were back off French Cap, with 30 minutes left to fish in the tournament, and we hooked up and caught a doubleheader,” says Tyler Maltby, captain of the Double Header. “What’s fun about this tournament is seeing what the other boats catch and the camaraderie.”

Trophies, bottles of Cape Fear Distillery premium spirits, and cash prizes totaling over $7,000 were awarded to the winners.

Fourteen boats from St. Thomas and St. John collectively caught 25 wahoo, weighing a total of 637 pounds.

“The quantity and size of wahoo caught is something we haven’t seen in a long time, and that’s exciting,” says Kelvin Bailey, Jr., president of the Virgin Islands Game Fishing Club’s Board of Directors.

Bailey credited in part the Club’s hosting of a Free Lunch & Learn Fishing 101 – Wahoo Windup Prep session, taught by Club members and Neptune Fishing Supply employees on October 19. With the popularity of the clinic, plus the whopping tournament catch, the Club plans to host another training next spring before its annual Dolphin Derby.

The Virgin Islands Game Fishing Club appreciates the support of Cape Fear Distilleries, IGY’s American Yacht Harbor Marina, and its muchappreciated volunteers.

THE NEW YEAR BRINGS NEW OPPORTUNITY

As winter deepens, cooler waters push more !sh o the beaches and toward the warmer edges of the Gulf Stream. With grouper and snapper now o -limits due to regulations, it’s time to shi our focus to productive species still on the table—trigger!sh, vermilion snapper (beeliners), and seabass. For those looking to venture even deeper, deepdropping remains an exciting option.

e December full moon o en marks a turning point in !shing. Grouper and speckled trout seasons wind down, leaving anglers to adapt to what the regulatory environment allows. Fortunately, the stacks of triggers, beeliners, and pelagics in deeper waters o er excellent opportunities. Start your search around the 150-foot mark and use your !sh!nder to locate promising spots.

Tools of the Trade

For precision !shing, modern tools like spot-lock trolling motors—such as the Rhodan or Minn Kota—are game changers. ese motors allow you to hover directly over schools of !sh with ease. However, they can be limited when deploying a kite, as the wind necessary for kite !shing can drain trolling motor batteries quickly. at’s

Yes, anchoring may feel like a step back for those spoiled by spot-lock motors, but it’s a reliable method for staying on productive marks without straining batteries. Once anchored, consider adding a kite to your !shing arsenal. Kites are particularly e ective for enticing leader-shy species like yellow!n tuna and wahoo. When properly deployed, they minimize visible leader material in the water, o en resulting in immediate strikes.

Teamwork and Preparation

Don’t hesitate to use small snapper, grunts, or other bait!sh you catch with a sabiki as o erings on your light line or kite.

Successful kite !shing requires teamwork. Assign one crew member to manage the kite and bait while others focus on !lling the cooler with trigger!sh and snapper. Proper setup is essential.

Whether you’re targeting bottom-dwellers like trigger!sh or keeping a light line out for the chance at a wahoo or tuna, the key is to stay adaptable and prepared. As always, take the kids along and capture plenty of videos of your adventures. Fishing is more than just a hobby— it’s a way of life.

Junior Angler Breaks World Record with Massive Payara

At just six years old, Nathan “Bibil” Barreto is already making waves in the angling world! On July 8, 2024, while !shing Brazil’s iconic Juruena River, Nathan landed an incredible 11.79-kg (26-lb) payara. is catch shattered the IGFA Men’s Smallfry World Record for the species.

Nathan hooked the record-setting payara using cut bait, showcasing his growing skills as an angler. A er verifying the weight on a certi!ed scale, he ensured the safe release of this magni!cent !sh. Nathan’s actions not only highlighted his talent but also demonstrated that conservation is a value no angler is too young to embrace.

What Are Smallfry World Records?

e International Game Fish Association (IGFA) has established guidelines for Smallfry World Records to encourage young anglers. Here’s what you need to know:

• Species: Records are maintained for the heaviest !sh of any eligible species.

• Age: Categories exist for male and female anglers aged 10 years and under.

• Weight: Fish do not need to be weighed on land, as long as the weight is veri!ed appropriately.

• L ine Class: Records are recognized for all line and tippet classes covered under IGFA rules.

• Other Rules: All IGFA International Angling Rules apply, except for the standard weighing requirement.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Encouraging young anglers to aim for world record catches—or simply to submit outstanding catches for consideration—o ers a fantastic opportunity to foster a love of !shing. e IGFA’s Smallfry division plays a vital role in promoting the sport among young enthusiasts.

Braid vs. Monofilament Fishing Line: Which Is Best?

Choosing the right !shing line is crucial for success on the water. Two popular options— braided and mono!lament lines—o er distinct advantages, and your choice o en depends on your !shing style, target species, and conditions. Let’s compare their strengths and weaknesses to help you decide.

Braided line stands out for its high strength-todiameter ratio. Its thin pro!le allows for less drag and greater line capacity on reels, making it ideal for deep-water !shing. For instance, a 30-pound braid can match the diameter of an 8-pound mono!lament. Mono!lament, while thicker, provides added durability and is o en preferred in situations requiring extra shock absorption, such as battling !sh with sudden, strong runs.

Braid has minimal stretch, giving it superior sensitivity. is makes it perfect for techniques like jigging or bottom !shing, where detecting subtle bites is crucial. It also enhances hook-setting power. On the other hand, mono!lament’s stretch acts as a cushion during hard strikes, reducing the risk of breakage.

Mono!lament generally o ers better abrasion resistance, making it a top choice in areas with rocks or heavy cover. However, it is prone to UV damage over time, which can weaken the line.

Braid is more resistant to UV exposure but can fray easily when rubbed against rough surfaces.

Braided line’s thin diameter and lack of stretch give it an edge for long-distance casting, especially in open water. However, mono!lament’s low visibility underwater makes it advantageous for targeting skittish !sh in clear water. To counter braid’s visibility, many anglers use a uorocarbon leader.

e choice between braid and mono depends on your needs. Braid excels in strength, sensitivity, and casting, while mono shines in shock absorption, abrasion resistance, and stealth. Many anglers carry both to adapt to various scenarios or use a braid mainline with a mono or uorocarbon leader for versatility.

Ultimately, knowing when to use each type can make all the di erence in your !shing success.
