8 January 2015 PropTalk

During the same period, hunting for sport led to the establishment of waterfowl hunting clubs throughout Bay country. Wealthy sportsmen from the larger East Coast cities joined these clubs employing many locals, sometimes whole families, to support their activities by carving decoys, serving as guides, building boats, picking feathers, cooking, cleaning, and a myriad of other jobs. Although sport hunters contributed to the decimation of the waterfowl population, they were also among the first groups to advocate conservation practices. As duck hunting fell off in the 1960s, the waterfowl landscape of the Bay was changing. Chicken farming moved onto the Delmarva, and the forests were cleared to plant feed crops. The Canada Geese that traditionally passed by to the Carolinas moved into the area, attracted to the new food source. Some flocks became year round residents as others remained migratory. Goose hunting became big business on the Bay. The Waterfowl Festival reminds us of this rich heritage – a heritage that includes long and ongoing conservation efforts that protect waterfowl and their habitat throughout Bay Country and the Atlantic Flyway – efforts that deserve our participation and support. And, we are reminded of the fact that not all Bay boaters are warm weather water skiers, fishermen, or cruisers. Many of you take to the waters to hunt in the harsher months when the elements can greatly increase the risk. Enjoy the sportsman’s paradise we have been blessed with – just be careful out there.

No Incentive To Stay Put

Our Kind of Birthday Suit

ere’s Glenn “Herky” Warner on his 75th birthday being a team player. Happy Birthday from Team PropTalk!

n the November PropTalk, I read Katie and Gene Hamilton’s article “Southbound. ICW Cruise Advisor” (page 76). I found it interesting the number of marinas charging “extended stay” and/or “liveaboard” fees if one stays longer than a month. It has also shown up in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor marinas. What gives? Amenities are available to transients, electric is metered, and washers and dryers usually require a fist full of quarters. So what is the boater getting for the additional fee per month? Seems whether I like a marina or not, there is no incentive to stay put. The incentive is rather, to move on. Can you explain this new thinking to me, please? Jim, Captain M/V Ten Ninety Nine PropTalk readers: Do you have any feedback for Captain Jim?

the water for the duration of a cold snap would be one way to naturally insulate her hull from the cold. Also consider where the boat is sitting and whether she is covered. Sunlight, of course, will warm her during the day, and a canvas cover will act as a blanket, as well as absorb heat on clear days, even if it’s only a partial cover over a center console. However, if the boat is sitting in the shade, is uncovered, or is exposed to the wind, it’s going to feel much colder. Finally, ask what you can reasonably do in the period of time available before the mercury hits 32. Maybe it’s putting the boat in the (relatively) warm water, perhaps it’s using a ceramic heater on low with a fan, or maybe it’s warming her up with a 100-watt light bulb or heat gun. Of course, always make sure safety is your number one priority when applying heat. If you’re not sure how to get started, use a winterization guide. There are many excellent ones listed at proptalk.com/winter. Follow them fully, or bring in a pro. Our expert says the biggest mistake some boaters make is attempting to empty lines when they don’t really know all the proper steps. If it’s not done correctly, sometimes it just creates more problems. While failure to properly winterize can be a costly mistake, an isolated night with a few sub-freezing hours is no reason to panic. Think logically about the actual potential for damage and then act prudently to minimize your risk. proptalk.com

A Leap Forward in Electronics by Chris (Seabuddy) Brown

un your index finger across a large glass screen and you have plotted your course into the auto pilot. See a crab pot? Toggle the joy stick and your yacht will wiggle around it and then return back on the course you had set. A new high for easy Chesapeake Bay cruising! By the way, this technology comes from the aircraft industry where it is titled “Glass Cockpit.” Some refer to the marine system under that name. The name “Glass Helm” is also used within the industry. The system is Volvo’s. They have used the unique features of their Joy Stick and IPS systems and worked with Garmin to add these and other Volvo special features to yachts that use their Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit. Garmin and other electronics makers will offer other versions of this new feature soon. But buyer beware: check the details of any other system to see if it will do all of this for your boat. At the helm are two large touchscreen displays that allow for pinch-to-zoom and other latest electronic gizmos for you. It is all there, integrated autopilot, engine data, water depth, and other multimedia. All is integrated, right at your finger, right on the two screens. Special Volvo-Penta smart mode control allows switching all monitors in sync from one to another without manually switching each monitor separately. Also, you can use your chart plotter from your iPhone. This is a one-touch and one-look system. Either you use push buttons on your controls or touch your fingers on the two screens. Ask your nearest Tiara Yachts dealer if you can see this system. The Chesapeake Bay debut for the Glass Cockpit from Volvo-Penta is standard on their new 44 Coupe. Volvo-Penta IPS, Joystick, and now a new level of helm. Visit proptalk.com/glass-cockpit. Follow us!

Rally For A Cure

ish For A Cure is an opportunity for us to give support to those at AAMC who support the people in our community that have been touched by cancer. Full Moon/ Club 411 consisted of a conglomerate of people who have been touched in some way, and wanted to help AAMC, as well as have a fun day on the water fishing! Mike Krissoff, who pulled us all together, was affected by cancer when his mother ultimately lost her battle with it. Mike had seen what AAMC had done for our friend and teammate Wynee Hawk in her battle, as well as my wife Sharon’s battle. Sharon sees both sides of the efforts, as an HR employee at AAMC as well. Kelly Bjornerud and his fellow fishermen from Bjorn To Run jumped in as a show of support for AAMC, Mike, Wynee, and Sharon, and to help with the fishing. Four weeks before the tournament day, we began soliciting donations in earnest. We sent out emails to our friends every couple days, giving them updates on our progress, and also telling the stories of our being touched by cancer, and what AAMC and the DeCesaris Cancer Institute has done for us, and does for our community. The response was overwhelming: in that short period of time, we raised $33,585 - with over 260 separate donations, eclipsing the record by 60 percent. We won the Captains Challenge and the coveted blazers for

raising the most money. In all, the event brought over one quarter of a million dollars to the DCI. On the fishing front, we caught quite a few, but nothing like the 31-pound fish of the winners- but in our opinion, we won what counted. Our team consisted of Mike Krissoff, Pam Ferguson, Andy Hughes, Rob Floyd, Wynee Hawk, Meredith Adams-Krissoff, Kelly Bjonerud, Bud Duckett, Glenn Sutton, George Turner, Brian Kahan, Dave Moss, Bill ##Evan Winterbottom of Team Ridin’ Thirty Tilghman, Sharon Borland, and got a big one!

First Fossilized Snaggletooth Shark Skeleton Ever Found

alvert Marine Museum (CMM) paleontologists excavated a rare fossilized skeleton of a 15-million-year-old shark October 31. Uncovered by the Gibson family on their property in Chesapeake Beach, MD, this snaggletooth shark skeleton is the first of its kind ever found. Shawn Gibson contacted Dr. Stephen Godfrey, curator of paleontology at CMM, about a fossil find that his brother, Donald, discovered. Donald found fossil shark vertebrae while digging footers for a new sunroom at the home of his parents, Donnie and Jo Ann Gibson. He contacted Pat Gotsis, a family friend who has collected fossils for over 40 years. Pat knew immediately it was something special. After a day of digging, Shawn, with help from his seven-year-old son Caleb, excavated more than 50 vertebrae. When they realized that the vertebrae led up to the sharkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skull with jaws full of teeth, Shawn called the museum for help. Aside from their teeth, shark skeletons are made of cartilage, which does not fossilize nearly as well as bone. Typically after animals die if parts of their skeleton do not disintegrate immediately, they are scattered by scavengers. In this case, most of the teeth and skeleton stayed together in a life-like way as it became buried in sand on the ocean floor. This skeleton belongs to the extinct snaggletooth shark, Hemipristis serra. More than 80 vertebrae and hundreds of teeth from one individual were found. The shark would have been eight to 10 feet long. The jaws and teeth were preserved mostly intact after the shark came to rest upside down on the ocean floor 15 million years ago during the Miocene epoch. The closest living relative to this extinct Miocene shark is also known as the snaggletooth or weasel shark (Hemipristis elongata; Family Hemigaleidae). It is found in the Indo-West Pacific, including the Red Sea, from southeast Africa to the Philippines, north to China, and south to Australia, in coastal waters at depths of four to 400 feet. The living snaggletooth shark grows up to eight feet in length and preys upon crabs, cephalopods, other sharks, rays, and fish. The teeth of the extinct snaggletooth shark are so similar to those of its living relative that they probably had a comparable diet. The skeleton is now at CMM where it will be prepared for display and research. calvertmarinemuseum.com Follow us!

s far as fishing on the Bay goes, what’s on your bucket list? Ever caught a summer flounder? Does the aggressive bluefish still elude you? How about a snakehead? Here at PropTalk HQ, we’re already plotting, dreaming, and scheming for the day when we can splash the boat and drop some lines. And new for 2015, PropTalk is excited to launch a contest encouraging recreational anglers to explore the Bay’s incredible bounty. Introducing the 2015 PropTalk Fishing Challenge. Think you can catch 10 fish this year? Sure you can. How about 10 fish, all of a different species? Start keeping track starting January 1. We’re looking for the exclusive group of anglers who can catch 10 different species throughout the calendar year. Send us your pictures throughout the year, and we’ll reward your efforts with cool swag. And at the end of the year, if you’ve successfully managed to catch 10 different species, there will be a party in your honor, hosted by PropTalk. While we love a good trophy tournament, we aren’t concerned with the size of your catch. In fact, we highly encourage catch and release to ensure that this contest will continue in perpetuity. Don’t have a boat? No worries; you don’t need one to participate. So what do you say? Ready to start dreaming and scheming with us? Be sure to check out the February issue of PropTalk for all the details on entering the contest. And let’s make 2015 the year we really get out there and do some fishing!

BoatU.S. President Margaret Podlich Receives Award

argaret Podlich, president of BoatU.S., and also a Chesapeake Bay boater, was recently named the 2014 Darlene Briggs Woman of the Year for leadership and commitment to the business of boating, as well as a willingness to volunteer her time and effort in community and social organizations. Podlich received the award November 19 at the Marine Dealer Conference and Expo Awards Breakfast in Orlando, FL. “To be in the select group of women who have received this award before me, who build, sell, service, and provide homes to the boats that are critical to our half-million members, is very humbling,” says Podlich. “I hope the industry recognizes that today women play a central and growing role and can offer a valuable perspective when it comes to increasing our customer base.” In addition to her 20-year career at BoatU.S., Podlich is active with the Recreational Boating Leadership

Council and is a member of the American Boat and Yacht Council board of directors. She has also served on the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety and Advisory Council. A lifelong sailor, Podlich raced at Tulane University and has competed in national and international events, including a fourth place finish in the 2011 Rolex Women’s International Keelboat Regatta. In 2006 she was a member of the three-women Yuengling Team Cronin sailing crew that competed for a place on the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team. The Darlene Briggs Woman of the Year Award was established in 1987 in honor of Darlene Briggs of Wayzata Marine in Wayzata, MN, who served as the first retail marine saleswoman in Minnesota and the first female member of the Minnesota Marine Trades Association. The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas and Boating Industry magazine sponsor the award.

Procrastinator’s Gift Guide

he PropTalk staff needs a deadline to get anything done, so it’s no surprise we’re all last-minute shoppers. Bet you’re in the same boat! If you still seek holiday gift ideas for the boaters in your life, here’s what our staff has on their wish lists: Boatshop reporter Rick Franke says, “How about a Leatherman Multi-tool? I just discovered that mine won’t float…”

Publisher Mary Ewenson says, “I’d like a bigger outboard for our powerboat. One that will allow us to pull wakeboarders and get on a plane faster when heading across the Bay. Also a cocktail class racing event in Annapolis. And, world peace. Seriously!”

Graphic designer Zach Ditmars spends much of his spare time kayak fishing and racing cocktail class boats. The OluKai Kamiki Water Shoe tops his list. The website says, “Lightweight, extremely nimble and comfortable, the Hawaiian Lifeguard Association inspired, all-island Kamiki trainer brings hydrophobic performance and maximum traction.”

Tech It Out by Capt. Chris D. Dollar

Into The Drink

long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I worked with a guy who was asked during one of those hokey team-building exercises executives are so fond of, what should be written on his tombstone. He replied, “Hey guys, watch this!” We all fell apart in laughter. His comeback, of course, knocked the facilitator off his stride, but it was a silly waste of time anyway. I’ve strayed from my point of this column. Unlike that former co-worker, I’m no thrill seeker, nor do I have any desire to tweak the Grim Reaper any more than I may have in my younger years. But I still want to hunt and fish this time of year, so I’m cautious, even overly so. I bring my own “ditch kit” aboard someone else’s boat, and when hunting the marsh, I always pack enough food and water to last a couple days in case I get stranded. How that would actually happen is beside the point. Frankly, winter 2014-15 has snuck up on me. I usually test my cold-weather gear earlier in the fall when the conditions are more pleasant. The water temperature in the Wye River hovered around 53 degrees Fahrenheit when I decided to compare my Mustang Survival coverall flotation suit, made with closed-cell foam insulation sewn between the fabric, to my Raptor dry top, made by Aquaskinz, which I wore over my Palm Sidewinder splash bibs. I often wear the latter combo when cold-water fishing from my kayak, or just the top and neoprene waders when surf fishing. For this exercise I hedged my bets by wearing my Type III inflatable PFD. I first floated around in the dry/top-bib comb. The rubber gaskets that sealed my wrists, neck, and waist worked as designed, though I did take in some water down the back when I tried to swim. Also, water intruded through the boo-

ties; better to find that leak now than in dead of winter. Although a bit damp, I remained warm enough to swim to shore or probably last several hours if need be. Next I lounged in the river in the Mustang Survival coveralls. The floatation was exceptional, and the Velcro wrist and ankle closures fit snugly to limit the amount of water invading. The SOLAS reflective tape gives you piece of mind, and the head support pillow quickly

breathable fabrics and resists degradation better than most natural or synthetic rubber. Improvements to life-saving equipment are ongoing. For example, Helly Hansen is working with Norwegian scientists and other partners to develop a new generation of fishermen’s work wear that has built-in life-saving electronics. If your budget prevents you from buying a survival suit, in my opinion, a flotation jacket is a good second choice. Also, for paddlers, a dry top teamed with quality bibs or pants should cover most situations unless you’re extreme, and ##Of course not everyone can then a dry suit is what you need. have the cold tolerance of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Wear the dry top over the pants, but a suit like this can give and make sure the top has wrist you a chance to make it out and neck gaskets and an adjustalive.

For bibs and pants, I want at least three layers of waterproof, breathable fabric with abrasion protection. Call me a brand-name snob, but I prefer to stick with reputable, well-established companies. Mustang, Helly Hansen, and Kokatat are three I’ve been very pleased with over the years. The top outfits back up their prodinflated to give additional support and floucts with solid warranties against defects tation. Although I can’t claim I was toasty in materials and workmanship.

Neoprene not even close in terms of staying warm waders for hunting and fishing are hard and dry. And while none of us enjoy to beat, as the material is a great insulathinking about life-threatening situations tor. But be prepared to sweat.

Boat Notes

Center Console “Yachts” from Boston Whaler and Everglades Everglades 435cc

Specs

t isn’t often you see an entirely new genre of boat hit the water, but when it comes to the latest generation of center consoles, specifically from Boston Whaler and Everglades, well, these boats just don’t fit into the category we’d usually assign them to. And I’m not just talking about sheer size. Sure, these boats are monsters for center consoles. But they also offer a heck of a lot more than the center console fishboats we’ve seen to date. Actually, they aren’t even boats; these are yachts, deserving the moniker Center Console Yacht, or CCY. Here’s why. The Boston Whaler 420 Outrage looks like an abnormally large center console on the outside, but when you enter the “console,” you’re in for one heck of an eye-opener. The cabin looks like something straight out of a 35- to 40-foot express boat, with perks such as a settee, a large dinette that converts into a V-berth, a full galley, a stand-up head, and a flat-screen TV. There’s even a central vacuum system, for gosh sakes. In a center console. The bow cockpit is similarly jazzedup and feels like one of the tanning platforms you’d find on one of today’s over-sized bowriders. There are forwardfacing lounges on each side, and on the front of the console a three-person tanning bed. Might this eat into fishing space in the bow? Yes. But there’s so

LOA: 42’8” | Beam: 12’0” | Draft: 2’4” Displacement: 16,880 lbs. | Max HP: 1,400 Fuel capacity: 570 gal. | Water capacity: 75

much deck space with 42 feet of LOA, you hardly seem to notice. The Everglades 435cc, on the other hand, dedicates a bit more of the boat’s space to angling. Look to the fishbox, for an example. Or heck, climb on in and take a look around its inside. At 225 gallons, it’s over twice as large as the average bath-tub. Wicked Tuna, here I come. Another example of extreme fishability can be found in the tackle station behind the leaning post.

Lest you think Everglades didn’t also make room for accommodations, peek into the console. It’s a bit trimmer than the Whaler’s, with a queen berth instead of a full settee and dinette, but it still has the galley, flat-screen TV, and head. There are a few other ways these boats take center consoles into yacht territory. First off, they each have helms so copious they built in a second row of seating. That means at least six people can ride in protecion and comfort. Even on the largest CC’s built to date, a single row of helm seating was all you’d get. Secondly, they maintain red-hot CC performance thanks to quadruple outboards. The Whaler runs with quad 300- or 350-hp Mercury Verados, and the Everglades sports four Yamaha F350 V-8s on the transom. Speeds come darn close to 60 miles per hour. Yeah, rigged to the teeth these boats are sort of expensive. As in, Lamborghini, Fararri, and Porsche expensive. And no, you won’t be using them to cast jigs in the shallows. But if you’re torn between the idea of owning a yacht or owning a fishboat, you don’t have to be any longer. The CCY has arrived.

Life Aboard in Winter W

henever you meet new people, there is always a script of questions and answers you follow as you try to quickly assess these newcomers. The questions identify where you live, where you work, what your status is, and all the rest of the games we play trying to feel secure in who we are and how we are doing. Invariably we want to know where we are from and where we live. Often when we meet new people such as David and Donna Dirt Dweller who have never imagined life on a boat, the conversation will go like this: The Dirt Dwellers ask, “So Tom and Cristina, where do you live?” We answer, “We live at Port Downtown Marina.” Next question: “Oh really? I did not know they had condos down there.” We reply, “They don’t. We live on a boat.” The DDs ask, “Oh really? That’s cool. But where do you live in the winter?” “We live on the boat.” “Really, that’s cool. But where do you live when it is icy and snowy?” And again we answer, “We live on the boat.” They: “But do you have heat?” “Yes we have heat.” They: “Really? That’s cool. But how do you cook?” “We have a stove and an oven. We have a refrigerator; we have a bathroom, and a shower. We have washing machine. We even have a television.” Dirt Dwellers, “Oh really? I didn’t know you could do that. That’s cool.” Cristina and I have lived aboard for nearly six years here on the Chesapeake. We have been here through snow and 24 January 2015 PropTalk

ice, gale and hurricane. Many boaters are jealous of us and our lifestyle.

first winter we learned about condensation. The windows had water sheeting off them in the mornings when the temps dropped into the 30s. On cold days, water would collect behind the head liner and would run out and land on our heads, furniture,

and the floor anytime the boat rocked. The first step was to use window film to cover all of the windows. That solved the condensation on the glass. Then I took down the overhead panels and added a layer of foam behind the panels to insulate he cabin roof further and eliminate the condensation there. Next we got a small dehumidifier: This was a miraculous addition. Whenever the temperature drops below 50 degrees outside, we turn it on and let it run. It circulates and dries the air, and it adds a certain amount of heat as well. This is arguably the most important appliance we have added to our boat since we moved aboard. If there is one tip we can pass along, it is a lesson we learned too slowly; heat and air circulation will make life comfortable and eliminate condensation. Yes, your electric bills will be high in the dead of winter. Get over it. An extra $2550 per month in electricity will move your comfort to a whole new level. Do not try and scrimp on heat. We had to learn this lesson on our own, despite having been given this tip by other liveaboards. Getting water to the boat was a known concern. The first winter we were in a slip about 400 feet from a frost-free faucet. Stretching out 400 feet of hose may have seemed like a big project, but our worry was that residual water in the hose would freeze and block our water supply for weeks on end. Our solution was simple. We laid our hose under the dock, on the bottom of the creek, and it never froze because it was under water. After the water tank was filled, we disconnected the hose at each end and drained the water in proptalk.com

Corrosion-Free

Connections While living aboard in winter, you will use much more electricity than you do in the summer. The electrical connections of your shore cord must be corrosion-free, clean, dry, and checked frequently. Nearly every boat fire in winter can be traced to an overheated power cord end. If the dock pedestal receptacle catches fire, you lose power. If the boat end of the cord catches fire … You must be sure the cords and receptacles are clean watertight and free of corrosion. At the boat end, check for corrosion, clean the prongs, and spray a water dispersing corrosion inhibitor (my choice is CRC 656) into the receptacle; then be sure to use the locking ring to hold the cord tight and keep water out. At the dock end, look carefully at the receptacle. If there is any sign of a color change such as brown or black marks at the connection, be sure to have the receptacle replaced by the marina. Once a week in the winter when you are really drawing heavy current, put your hand on the cord end at the boat and at the power post. If you feel any warmth in the cord end, you have a problem developing. There is a corroded connection, and it is only going to get worse. Fix it immediately!

Bay Ranger

Heads Down the Ditch by Ed and Elaine Henn

Halloween in Hampton

Bay Ranger cruised down the Chesapeake Bay in record time (for us!): five and a half days and one of those was spent at anchor waiting out high winds. The best part of the trip was the first few nights with spectacular night skies and bright stars. The Bay from the Potomac down to Norfolk can get quite nasty (snarly, in boater language), but it wasn’t too bad this time. Today we pulled into the Hampton Public Pier to use a free overnight coupon from the Annapolis Boat Show. Some years ago, we were here on another Halloween when liveaboard boat kids came around trick or treating in dinghies — no kids around this eve, so we will have to eat the little packets of M&Ms ourselves. For the Navy people in our lives, we saw several U.S. Navy warships entering and leaving Hampton Roads. Here at the marina we are squeezed in between two 48-foot boats — a Selene powerboat on one side and a Beneteau sailboat on the other — both from Annapolis. Ed did a fine job backing into the slip as Elaine held her breath (not that she doesn’t trust his ability to back the boat. The boat slips always look very small when it’s time to back into them with big boats on each side!). There is absolutely no privacy but good wind protection and a rather nasty weather forecast for tomorrow evening. Tomorrow friends from the Williamsburg area will visit, and perhaps we’ll again watch the homecoming parade for Hampton University which is located here in the area. 26 January 2015 PropTalk

Mid-November in Morehead

Toasty Warm & Headed South

We arrived in Morehead City November 12 and stayed the first night at the dock at the Sanitary Restaurant and Fish Market. If you eat dinner in their restaurant, they give you a really good deal on the overnight docking fee. It’s always an interesting place to eat! First of all, they bring out a basket of hot hush puppies as an appetizer when they bring the napkins, silverware, and menus. The soup of the day was macaroni and cheese soup. Of course Ed had to try it — think rich macaroni and cheese only with more cream, butter, and cholesterol! We had a visit from John Doxey from Severn House who was in the area visiting friends. On November 13, we moved to the Morehead City Docks where we would spend the next four days. We toured the town, did some laundry, and confirmed our rental car reservation for the weekend. The folks on the sailboat next to us in the marina saw the Ohio State Buckeye flag we were flying and stopped over to say “Hello.” It turns out they were originally from Dayton, OH, but now live aboard their boat fulltime. We picked up the rental car on Friday, November 14 and drove to Greensboro, NC, for the first Navy women’s basketball of the season against North Carolina A&T State University. They lost the game after leading at halftime, but it was fun seeing the girls. Sunday, November 16 found us traveling to Elon University to see the second Navy women’s basketball game. They lost that one, too … After the game we returned to the boat in Morehead City. We had hoped to head on south on Monday, the 17th, but high winds kept us at the marina one more night.

We saw our first dolphin of the trip Tuesday morning, November 18 headed down the pretty Bogue Sound. We also saw the first sister Ranger Tug of the trip, the Ranger 25 McTug headed for Edenton, NC, for Thanksgiving. That day’s trip was interrupted by a one-hour delay for the firing range at Camp LeJeune which spans both sides of the Intracoastal Waterway. A sign with flashing lights and a patrol boat inform boaters when the range is closed. We anchored for lunch and listened to the machine gun fire in the distance. That night was spent in an anchorage near the range where helicopters flew overhead in support of on-going night training. It was the coldest night of our cruise so far with temps dipping to 23 degrees! We were prepared with warm clothes and bedding, but it was not fun getting up in the morning. The boat quickly warms up with the engine heater when we’re underway so we are toasty warm heading on south. The weather and currents were in our favor, so we decided to make a long day and cover the 10- mile stretch of the notorious Cape Fear River. Our next stop was in the pretty little seaside town of Southport, NC. We spent the night at the dock of the Provision Company which was closed for the season. We walked around this nice little town and proptalk.com

ended the day by eating at the Frying Pan restaurant. Their motto: Fried with Pride. Once again hush puppies accompanied the waitress to the table. Ed had the meatloaf special and out came a mini-meatloaf the size of a woman’s shoe. He couldn’t eat it all, which tells you how large it was. He got a doggie bag for the remainder which provided meatloaf sandwiches for the next two days. The specialties of the house were sweet potato biscuits which were served with every meal. Boy, were they good. They had a sweet potato bread pudding on the dessert menu, which after sampling the biscuits, sounded really good. Unfortunately, we had no room for dessert! Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, NC, was our next overnight stop. There is a large shopping center there next to the Waterway. On the way there, we passed a three-mile section that’s known as the “Rock Pile,” a narrow stretch of the Waterway blasted out of rock. If you stray too far outside the channel here, it can spell disaster. We’re here to say we navigated it successfully. At Barefoot Landing we saw our second Ranger Tug of the cruise, a Ranger Tug 21 called Little Red Tug from up the Waterway in Southport.

almost totally uninhabited with cypress trees covered in Spanish moss lining the river banks. We spent another cold night at anchor on the Waccamaw. The sky was clear and filled with stars. On November 22, we anchored again in a place called Graham Creek. The weather turned nasty, and the forecast for November 23-24 was not promising. We made a reservation at Isle of Palms Marina for those two nights. On Tuesday the 25th we hope to made the two-day run to Beaufort. It’s one of our favorite stops, and we hope to spend Thanksgiving there. We’ll be in touch on down the road!

What’s Up the Waccamaw?

After leaving Barefoot Landing on a beautiful warm day, we took on fuel and decided to get adventuresome and get off the Waterway. The town of Conway, SC, according to our guide books, is a picturesque little town 12 miles up the Waccamaw River with free overnight docking for visiting boats. We decided to go for it. The only problem was that our Waterway charts and the electronic charts only went about halfway up to Conway. We decided to find our way up the remainder without charts. Of course, the river got narrower and windier, and we made a crude map of our route where the river branched. We ended up in very shallow water with no town in site! We ran past two toothless fishermen in a small boat called Swamp Donkey but didn’t want them to know we didn’t know where the town was. (Remember the movie Deliverance?) Since it was getting late in the afternoon, we decided we’d better abandon our search for the elusive town of Conway and return to the ICW never to stray again. The remaining part of the Waccamaw River south to Georgetown, SC, is one of our favorite sections of the Waterway. It is Follow us!

Getting To Know You

ost (normal) people look forward to those really nice days in our area, planning activities on the Bay around ideal weather forecasts, while concentrating on everything else in their lives if those predictions are gloomy. Using our investment wisely means fully focusing on knowing our boat’s systems inside and out, regardless if we’re on blocks or sitting at our favorite anchorage spot during those beautiful days. Winter storage is the best time of year to visit our vessels with operators’ manuals in hand, learning how our subsystems work for the first time or revisiting those finer operational details misunderstood during the last season’s use. Many often wait until Mother Nature causes mid-season downtime for on-the-job education once winter hibernation ends, however the most important time to focus on your systems isn’t on those non-boating days but precisely when the weather is so spectacular you just want a beer in your hand

and your toes in the sand. Purposefully choose those relaxing moments to learn something new about your ride, despite your body’s urge to do nothing. For instance, learning how to contort your body to access thru-hulls and seacocks is great wintertime training, but learning how to access those parts while your engines are hot once having arrived at anchor is invaluable. The pressure of figuring stuff out at night time, in heavy seas, when your boat is taking on water is a recipe for knife cuts from exposed hose clamps. Sometimes alone or sometimes unknown to my guests as they swim around me on floaties at anchor during those relaxing summer moments, I’ll intentionally beach her, walking the boat in by hand until my rudders or running gear make landfall. Then, I’ll jump to the helm or ask the Admiral for a depth-reading. Knowing your sonar’s exact reading when the boat really touches bottom is the single-most important piece of information at the

helm; keeping your depth greater than this minimum while underway, especially in unknown water, is the difference between a ship and a lawn ornament. Also, take the time when the weather is perfect to waste a little fuel, making straight courses identified by your GPS to accurately determine your compass’s heading error, exactly back-tracking along the same route too. When you blow a fuse or your GPS quits in the middle of that raging storm, an accurate compass will get you home. Use those crystal clear relaxing days to learn how your radar works, pushing buttons ingraining how-to into your fingertips and brain better than any book can illustrate. Learn ways to identify range and bearing of targets you can visually see or figure out how squall lines 20 miles away appear on your display. Learn when there’s no pressure to do so; because when the chips are down, and you’re fogged-out in a severe storm at sea, it’s too-late for an operator’s manual. proptalk.com

and racing class they achieve speeds of about 120 miles per hour down the straighta-ways. The boats with their high-powered engines fly over the surface of the water using their rudders for control and skipping the front sponsons over the water’s surface. Hydroplanes are designed to trap air under the boat’s hull and literally hang some six to 12 inches above the

water. On the newest boats, a driver-adjustable wing up front controls the ride height. It is the last chance the driver has to keep the boat from flipping over. Older boats need a small wiggle of the steering wheel to dump the air that lifts the boat and that will cause it to settle down if they do not have the driver wing. Chris Oliver, the race director for the East Coast Cham-

pionships at the Thunder on the Narrows and hydroplane racer himself, plans an exciting program for spectators and racers, alike. Hydroplanes share the two days of racing with flat bottom ski boat racers, Jersey Speed Skiffs and other racing classes. I do enjoy the seemingly wild turns that the round bottom of a JSS class boat does to get around the oval. PropTalk January 2015 31

Racing: Bay People

Keith and Kevin Gunther

A Father and Son Racing Team by Allen Paltell ##Father, son, and their racing machine. Photo by Jenn McClure

##The Gunthers now race in 350.

couple of years ago, Keith Gunther hit the lottery. Seriously. You may remember the story I wrote about Keith and his green Jersey Skiff for PropTalk. Mick Jones at Holiday Point Marina had just painted the hull an eye-catching candy apple green. The 283 Chevy block had a fresh coat of red Rustoleum. When I interviewed Keith for the story in 2012, the boat had not been splashed. Keith was new to boat racing.

Not any more. Halfway through the first race on Kent Island, his partner turned to him, pointed to the wet spot on his jumpsuit and shouted, “Gas!” Keith said, “Nah, you just wet your pants. Let’s keep racing…” Not true. It was gas. Keith pulled off the course right away. Seems his gas tank had broken loose from the pounding and vibration. Gas tanks in Jersey Skiffs take a beating. A new tank and a new mounting system followed. The first 283 did not like running without oil (it’s hard to get oil to the top end when these boats carve turns), so Keith had to 32 January 2015 PropTalk

find a new one, and another new one after that. For a while, every time I’d visit Island Girl at Holiday Point, there would be another dead 283 sitting outside Keith’s shop. A lesser man would have taken the remaining lottery winnings and invested in municipal bonds, but not the owner of Kryptonite, JS23. Beneath Keith’s quiet, reserved exterior, the exterior that speaks seldom and softly, beats a heart painted the color of his skiff. Keith stuck with it. Two years later, he has earned his place in the fleet of crazy warriors who race V8-powered rowboats around a circular course on Kent Island.

This Saturday in November, we were at Holiday Point Marina. Owner Ron Sinclair let us use the office for this interview with Keith and his son, Kevin. Joe Reid and his golden retriever, Hiatt, wandered in and out. The smell of fresh varnish floated through the open window, sweet and deep, like BB King’s blues riffs. Hiatt finished his licks and hopped into the back seat of Joe’s Volvo for a nap. I invited Keith and Kevin to talk with me for several reasons. I wanted to hear about Keith’s development as a skiff racer. I also wanted to hear Kevin (age 21, about the same age as my

son, Eric) talk about racing boats with his father. Lastly, I wanted to spend a pleasant morning at the marina sniffing fresh varnish and talking about boats. Most dads have a “fatherson” dream. In the dream, the father looks like Gregory Peck in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The kids, like Scout and her brother, are a little rambunctious, but completely dedicated to their dads. Dad has some special hobby or skill, and the child shares a love of the same thing. Keith and Kevin are living their father-son dream. Kevin says excitedly, “When I’m proptalk.com

suited up and strapped into my boat, it gets a little hot in there. I can hear myself breathe, and I can smell my own sweat. Sometimes, the cockpit glass fogs up from my breathing and I have a hard time seeing what’s happening around me. My father is on the radio, giving me information about other boats and conditions on the racecourse.” I turn to Keith, sitting a few feet from his son in the marina office. I ask him how it feels to have a son racing his own boat. He says something incomprehensible but wise in classic Keith Gunther marble mouth language. I just can’t catch the words. I nod and move back to Kevin. “Kevin,” I ask, “can you describe the sensation of running your new boat around the race course at Kent Island?” I lead him by describing running Island Girl, my 12,000-pound Bertram 28 out of the creek into the river. Kevin listens and pauses for a moment. With the clarity and purpose of a young man who knows what he wants to say, he states, “No, it’s nothing like that. This is more like flying or sledding. The boat pops up on a plane in a second. The engine is screaming right be-

hind your ear, and small movements of the helm produce big changes in direction. You don’t just get in and floor it. You have to work your way into the fleet, find clear water so the prop doesn’t cavitate, and use the foil to keep the nose down” He says, “It’s like being inside a video game. You’re doing everything all at once and you’re surrounded by the smells of gasoline, coolant, saltwater, exhaust, and sweat. In the background, through the earpiece inside my helmet, I can hear my Dad talking to me quietly, slowly … ‘Little left,’ he mumbles. ‘Not too much … that’s it.’” We talked for about 30 minutes. Keith sat quietly listening to his son describe the boat, the close-knit community of people who race skiffs and hydroplanes, and his competition, Courtney Stewart, Matt Henning, John Shaw, and Ciara McClure, a 15-year old girl with great instincts and no fear. Kevin raced twice in 2014. He did pretty well for a new kid.

BoatBuilding

I can tell by Kevin’s tapping foot that I have consumed his available attention span. My son, Eric, shows the same signs after about 30 minutes of inactivity. I give Kevin the last word of the interview. I ask how he thinks his dad feels about this father-son partnership. Kevin pauses again. His foot rests. His eyes turn toward the linoleum floor. In a moment he looks at his father, then over to me and says, “Sometimes, when I’m getting into the boat with help from my friends, out of the corner of my eye, I catch a glimpse of my dad standing about 15 feet away, just watching. His arms are folded, and he is wearing a crooked smile. He looks proud.”

Other winter projects include removal and remounting of the adjustable strut supporting the surface piercing drive on a 42-foot MDI power catamaran which has developed stress cracks and other evidence of failure in the fiberglass hull of the boat. Britt also mentioned that they were waiting for several engines that had been sent out for rebuilding and upgrading. When they return this winter, the reinstallation will consume a lot of time and energy, so Britt is looking forward to a busy winter. ##The 1934 Hooper Island Draketail Martha awaits her new planking at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, MD.

Ships are the nearest thing to dreams that hands have ever made. ~Robert N. Rose

he ancient Romans named the first month of the year January in honor of the god Janus, who was the deity of beginnings and endings. Janus was often portrayed as having two faces, one looking back to the past and one looking forward to the future. The month of January is indeed a good time to reflect on the past year and to look forward to the New Year’s winter and the promise of spring. Even though the Chesapeake is locked tightly in winter’s grip, the days are getting longer, winter lay-ups are all done, and the focus of area boat shops is beginning to shift to oft-delayed winter projects and plans for spring.

ritt Lilly of Lilly Sport Boats in Arnold, MD, expresses it well. “Now that the winterization rush is finally over, we have at least half a dozen major insurance-related big repair jobs stacked up out back. Several of them were damaged by running into channel markers. It seems like that got popular all of a sudden.” As an example he has a 37-foot Cruisers yacht in for repairs from 34 January 2015 PropTalk

such a close encounter. Britt pointed out that the external damage on the port side of the boat appears minor, just some long scrapes and one small crack but the real damage is inside. “The glass hull flexes and bends from the impact, but that breaks loose all the tabbing and joints inside and causes a lot of damage to cabinets, floors, and bulkheads. Just about all the interior woodwork on this boat will need repair or replacing.”

racy Munson of The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) in St. Michaels, MD, sends us this update. “CBMM vessel maintenance assistant Joseph Connor reports restoration work on the draketail Martha is continuing through the winter months. Martha is receiving all new 42-foot loblolly pine topside planks, which were sourced and sawn at Tuckahoe Sawmill in Ridgely, MD. Her original white oak frames will be sweet nailed before new planks are re-fastened with bronze. Her Olds 455 has also been sent out for overhaul, sandblasting, and fresh paint. All the work is being done in full public view along the harbor side of CBMM’s campus throughout the winter months, with the boat launching by spring. proptalk.com

The Hooper Island dovetail was built in 1934 in Wingate, MD, by Bronza Parks and donated to the museum’s collections in 1983 by Mr. and Mrs. David W. Glass.”

hile we don’t usually venture far from Chesapeake Bay, this recent news release from Viking Yachts in New Gretna, NJ, recently caught my eye: “This year, Viking Yachts introduced the world’s largest convertible sport fishing yacht with a totally resin-infused hull. To optimize performance and engine efficiency

including dual mezzanine decks. The yacht’s interior is a showpiece of elegance and luxury. The 92 Convertible has six staterooms, each with its own private head and shower.”

atrick Callahan of Worton Creek marina in Chestertown, MD, reports he has some big projects this winter. A 62-foot steel trawler has just gone into the paint shop for refinishing. In addition, the current Bertram 31 “remanufacture” is now equipped with brand new twin 370 hp Cummins diesel engines. Both boats should be complete and back in the water by spring.

aboard the new Viking 92, the boat builder worked with Marine Exhaust Systems. To keep the roar of the twin MTU Series 2000 V16 M96L 2635 hp Tier 3 engines at bay, the Viking 92 employs Marine Exhaust Systems’ TL Linear Series mufflers. Super quiet, they enable normal tone conversation to be easily heard over the exhaust sound. “Viking yachts are defined by their state-of-the-art performance, without any sacrifice to exquisite appointments and exceptional onboard livability. ‘The Marine Exhaust linear muffler is efficient not only in the usage of space, but also in how it addresses engine exhaust noise,’ says Peter Frederiksen, Viking Yachts marketing director. The Viking 92 is available in open and closed bridge configurations. This new boat has a stunning profile in either version with several motor yacht cues, Follow us!

DeFever motor yacht named Fly Away Home. According to Matt, the original swim platform and boarding ladder were difficult for both the owners and their dogs to use, so he designed and built this unique boarding system. The increased size and weight of the new system required a much more robust and complex supporting structure at and below the transom’s waterline. Matt says, “This was a real challenge. I got to use everything I’ve learned about boat building. It works great, and the owners love it.” Matt estimates that Diversified has “between six and eight major restoration projects” to keep them busy for the winter.

oe Reid’s Mast and Mallet shop in Mayo, MD, is also humming with activity. A 32-foot Cape Dory is having most of her interior wood work redone, her engine rebuilt, and her exterior varnish redone. On the other side of the shop is a nearly completed 22-foot Mast and Mallet outboard skiff, with an enclosed motor well. Another one is in the planning stages for completion before spring.

lassic Watercraft Restoration’s Dave and Ann Hannam have completed the move from Annapolis to their new shop in Edgewater, MD. Now that the move is over, Dave is back in harness with a full restoration of a vintage Chris Craft runabout. Plans for the new shop include the completion of the replica Gar Wood Gentleman’s Speedster Dave has been working on for some time. Dave says the Speedster will definitely be roaring up and down Rhode River this spring.

n the subject of planning for the future, the Annapolis, MD-based Marine Trades Association of Maryland (MTAM) has announced a new initiative to attract and train the next generation of workers and craftsmen for the boating industry. Known as the Marine Trades Industry Partnership,

PropTalk January 2015 35

the program is funded by the Maryland Department of Labor and Industry through their EARN (Employment Advancement Right Now) initiative. The target population is young people from 18 to 24. Successful applicants will receive a two-day weekend immersion training program, currently scheduled for mid May. This intensive training program will be followed by a six-week paid internship at a Bay country boat shop

or marina. At the conclusion of the internship, participants will be offered ongoing assistance in job placement. At press time applications are beginning to come in for the internships, and more than 25 repair and restoration facilities and marinas around the area have stepped forward to host and mentor interns for the summer of 2015.

plan is to move the bulkhead back to the engine box, have a side entry to open up the cabin space as well as to increase the heated/cooled area of the pilot house/cabin. Raising the freeboard a few inches will give more head room down below, as well as wider decks up forward.

Fish News by Captain Chris D. Dollar

Coastal Board Cuts Striper Catch

aced with declines in spawningsize rockfish that potentially threaten the population of this iconic fish, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission took proactive conservation steps this fall by cutting the catch 25 percent in coastal fisheries (Maine to Florida) and 20.5 percent in Chesapeake fisheries beginning January 1, 2015. To meet the new standard, the two Bay states and Potomac River managers are expected to increase the minimum size of a resident rockfish anglers can keep from 18 inches to 20 inches. The daily two-rockfish creel will remain, per feedback from charter boat operators and the angling community. “Anglers know the striped bass fishery is not as robust as it was just a few years ago,” said Dr. Ken Neill, III, a member of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. “I think fishery managers are being proactive now because nobody wants to go through another population collapse and moratorium. These fish are too valuable to the local economies throughout the mid-Atlantic seaboard.” Maryland’s popular spring trophy rockfish season is considered a coastal fishery and therefore is expected to see a size increase from 28 inches to 36 inches while keeping a daily creel of one striper per angler. The 2015 trophy season should again start on the third Saturday in April and run until May 15. Along the coast, the individual daily creel limit is projected to go from two rockfish to one, though maintain the current season and 28-inch minimum size limit. Dave Smith, the executive director of the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association, said his group “will continue to work closely with DNR on balancing conservation and socioeconomics when managing our fisheries resources.”

Fall Striper Tournament Roundup

ovember was a busy month for anglers who love to fish striper tournaments in Maryland. The month kicked off with the eighth annual “Fish For A Cure” competition in which many of the participating fishermen and/or their families have been affected by breast cancer. Taking the top spot was Dave Smith and Team MSSA, which included teammates John Weber, Austin Davis, and Kyle Wood. Smith caught a 31-pound, six-ounce rockfish while trolling off Point Lookout. Annapolis resident Keith Frasier of Team AllTackle came in second place with a striper of 14 pounds, four ounces. Third place went to Mike Fallowski of TPILand’ers whose rockfish weighed a mere three ounces less than Frasier’s rock. The winner for the “Heaviest Stringer of Perch” category was John Page Williams of Team First Light with a stringer of five pounds, eight ounces. The winner in the “Grand Slam”

category — three unique species — was Matt Baden, who landed a striper, chain pickerel and a toadfish while fishing from his kayak. This year F4AC raised $250,000, bringing the total since 2007 to $850,000, within striking distance of their pledge of $1 million to support cancer survivorship programs within the Geaton and JoAnn DeCesaris Cancer Institute at Anne Arundel Medical Center. Winning the Captain’s Challenge, in which the teams compete to raise the most money, is as prestigious as landing the biggest rockfish. Team Full Moon Club 411, captained by Mike Krissoff, won the coveted trophy, raising $33,585. Following in second place was Just in Time, led by captains Rob Schurr and Tom George, with $25,171. Rounding out the field was Team Blue Jay (Captains Michael Cassidy and Greg Lilly) with $21,350. Check out the photos at proptalk.com/rocksgiving-pics

Rocksgiving A Hit

blast of Artic air couldn’t chase fishermen participating in the “Rocksgiving” striper tournament off the Bay. Held November 15 out of Chesapeake Harbour Marina in Annapolis, hundreds of anglers fishing from 60 boats helped raise nearly $40,000 for the Bowen Foundation for Autism and the Chesapeake Bay Trust. Jason Rohrbaugh of Bowen Towing boated a 37-inch rockfish to take first place and $5000. In second was Keath Puller with a 35.5-inch rockfish,

followed by Andrew Parks and his 33.5-inch striper. “We had two goals when we first set out to organize this event,” says Eric Bradley, general manager, Chesapeake Harbour Marina and Rocksgiving Tournament Director. “First, to have at least 30 boats registered and 150-200 guests attend the after party. Second, to have an event that laid the foundation to become an annual event for years to come. Based on all of the positive feedback my team and I have received, we prospered in that as well.”

Atlantic States to Collect Sport Fishing Data

emember MRIP? That makes two of us. That’s not entirely true, but a brief refresher might be helpful. The Marine Recreational Information Program is a NOAA initiative established as part of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management and Conservation Act of 2006. The goal was to close the gap between how sport fishing information is gathered and how those data points are used to generate catch estimates, and ultimately better regulations. Opinions vary how successful that has been to date. Follow us!

he big rockfish showed up just in time for Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association’s 22nd Annual “Fall Classic” rockfish tournament, held November 22-23 in Maryland’s part of the Chesapeake Bay. Josh Suchter took the top slot with a striper of 46.6 pounds and 49 inches, winning him $38,999. Finishing in second place was Tom Byrne of 360 Degrees Charters, who landed a 50-inch, 45.70-pound rockfish that earned him $21,509. The third-place finisher was Marcus Wilson who caught a 48-inch, 44.15-pound rockfish that was good enough for $11,340. Overall, MSSA executive director Dave Smith said 225 boats and an estimated 1200 anglers participated in this year’s event. For complete results, visit mssa.net.

Within MRIP the National Saltwater Angler Registry was established for coastal states in 2011, requiring saltwater fishermen to sign up either directly with the feds or through their state. Are you with me so far? Now, beginning in 2016, all coastal states from Maine through Georgia will be responsible for collecting angler information per federal collection protocols. Officials say one of their goals is to improve and maximize data quality and the efficiency of data collection. On a related note, the sport fishing community has an opportunity to com-

ment on NOAA’s “National Saltwater Recreational Fisheries Policy,” which is a set of principles that will guide the agency over the long term. The comment period is open until December 31. The federal agency said its goals include promoting public access to quality fishing opportunities, supporting ecosystem conservation, and improving coordination with state agencies and other partners.

Fish

ecently I shared the water with a fisher of such relentless efficiency I had no chance to keep pace. So, being the student of the game that I am, I set the rod down and watched, hoping to glean some trick or nuance to add to my skill set. Unfortunately, no. Unless somehow I could hold my breath and dive 20 feet down into 55-degree Bay water, game over. Point to the loon. Far less intriguing but nonetheless an indication the fishing season is fast coming to a close is the shrinkwrap frenzy. I admit I get a little forlorn when I see my neighbors boats shrouded in white plastic. And while our fishing opportunities may be limited, they do exist. I plan to cast on quiet waters to pickerel and panfish, maybe even a freshwater trout. At least one, maybe two tautog trips are also on my agenda. And I’ll keep an eye on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel for a major, major blitz, provided the weather’s tolerable. Days of getting beat up in rough seas and bone-numbing winds for a few rockfish, however, are in my rearview mirror. Of course, the winter boat and fishing show circuit will crank up in

ropTalk’s Eric Burnley says anglers could catch a few rockfish in the ocean this month. “They will be found under diving birds and may be caught by trolling plugs or casting metal lures,” he says. “Beginning on January 1, the bag limit for rockfish will be one fish, and the size limit will remain at 28 inches.” Eric says that tautog are more likely to be caught into January with inshore reef sites the best locations (See “Fish Spot” on page 46). “Green crab will be the top bait with clam, conch or fiddler crabs also used,” he suggests. “The tog bite will continue all winter unless the water temperature drops below 36 degrees.”

January, with shows large and small on the docket. On January 17, check out Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association’s (MSSA) Frederick chapter’s sixth annual Saltwater Fishing Expo. The day-long event runs from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Frederick County Fairgrounds in Frederick, MD. PropTalk is a proud sponsor, and I will be one of the seminar speakers. The Baltimore Boat Show is always a good way to spend the day. It will run from January 29 through February 1 at the Baltimore Convention Center. My Virginia friends have the Mid-Atlantic Sports & Boat Show February 6-8 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center and the Richmond Fishing Expo, Jan 16-18 at state fairgrounds in Doswell, as well as the National Capital Sportsman Show at the Fredericksburg Expo Center from January 30 through February 1. For a complete listing of all of the boat shows and fishing expos, click to proptalk.com/ winter-shows. Here’s how PropTalk’s pros suggest wetting a line this month. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, be safe, and good fishing!

aptain Chuck Cook of First Light Charters will be targeting stripers, tautog and sea bass for the remainder of the year. “Running both day and night charters out of Lewes and Indian River, there should be plenty of action to keep everybody catching fish,” he says. “If you have never tried your luck at anchoring up to a wreck and tog fishing, give it a try; it might turn out to be your favorite fish to fish for.” Captain Chuck will fish through the next several weeks, wrapping up the season after the first week of January, and he plans to start fishing again in midMarch.

aptain Harry Nield, skipper of the Deal Island-based charter boat KingFish II, will be running hard to hunt down the fall migratory stripers as well as continuing to catch the resident fish we have schooled up if they hold up. “Also I will be doing some sea duck charters. The ducks are here now and seem to be very plentiful already,” he adds. If you’re looking for a little cast or blast, you can get in touch with him via PropTalk’s Charter Fishing section in the spring. aptain Sonney Forrest of Reel Relief Charters (Solomons, MD), is hanging in the Keys this winter. He does, however, offer selected trips for Bay fishermen looking to get warm and catch fish. He’s at Boot Key Harbor in Marathon, FL, and fishes from his 26-foot center console. his month Captain Monty Hawkins will sail from the Ocean City Fishing Center, focusing on tautog and sea bass. If you want to try this fun style of fishing, you can get on the email list to be notified for December sea bass and January tautog fishing dates (morningstarfishing.com).

or the next four weeks, Captain Walt of Light Tackle Charters will spend his days with clients on the “sweetwater” of the upper reaches of the Pocomoke River targeting crappie, yellow perch, and pickerel. “The crappie and yellow perch can be numerous (50 each in a day), and the pickerel get very big in the Pocomoke River,” he says. “I just outfitted my guide business with a new 18foot, all welded aluminum jonboat

matched to a Yamaha outboard that will be perfect for this wintertime fishing.” His clients will cast ultralight tackle (4-6 LB Spinning Gear and 4-7 Wt Fly Gear). Captain Walt says the great thing about fishing the Pocomoke River in the winter months is “that it winds back and forth down the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia so much that I can always find a location that is in the sun and out of the wind that will hold fish. So there’s no need to stop fishing in the winter months.” If you’re looking for a fun, inexpensive trip, consider booking a trip. “Kids love this kind of action packed fishing, and I love teaching them how to do it successfully,” he adds. aptain Kevin Josenhans of Josenhans Fly Fishing is taking a break from shows and seminars this winter. He will probably just fish the Pocomoke all winter. “I don’t plan on fishing the CBBT unless there is a major blitz and nice weather,” he said. Amen to that. hen he’s not duck or deer hunting this month Captain Richie Gaines of Anglers Connection guide service said he’ll give the CBBT another try this year, hoping for better results after a pitiful 2013 season at this

Fish Forecasts massive structure. Otherwise, he’ll stay busy giving talks. “I am doing the following seminars in 2015: “Better Understanding your Depth Finder and Elctronics” on February 21 in Quarryville, PA. This is a workshop that Keith Kaufman puts on,” he says. “Also, later in 2015, March 7 at Tri State Marine in Deal, MD, to be exact, he’ll again deliver his four-hour course, “Light Tackle Fishing the Bay,” a tutorial on finding and catching rockfish on light tackle. n board the charter boat Southpaw, Captain Jeff Eichler will round out his striper season trolling with parachutes, swimbaits and bucktails, as well as utilizing planer boards. “We are looking at gray pelicans and gannets which are a good sign of big rockfish coming to the area. Hopefully, it won’t get so cold so fast this year, and the fish bite a bit better than last December,” he says. “Rig your baits deep. The rockfish are staying down in deeper water. Working birds, pelicans, and gannets can help find the fish.”

VIRGINIA

ropTalk’s Virginia correspondent Ric Burnley asks the question many of us are asking: Will the striper return? “By mid-winter, southside Virginia anglers will know the answer. If schools of migrating striped bass arrive to Virginia’s coast, anglers trolling parachutes and big plugs will score trophy rockfish from the Virginia border to the ##Tony Brown from Damascus, MD, caught some breaking bluefish south of Parker’s Creek, north of the Power Plant in 32’ of water.

North Carolina state line,” he predicts. “On the good days, light tackle aficionados can chase diving birds and rolling fish with bucktails and casting spoons.” Ric adds that with any luck, big bluefin tuna will also show up with the striped bass. “While the giant tuna will strike lures intended for striped bass, anglers hoping to land one of these 300-pound fish should rig up 80-pound tackle with an Ilander or Sea Star (lure),” he suggests. “If the striped bass make a repeat no-show, anglers will turn their attention to inshore structure and offshore wrecks for the season’s biggest tautog. Drop a chunk of crab or clam on a single-dropper rig with a heavy action conventional combo.” Here’s what Ric thinks might happen with speckled trout this month: “As Dominion Power turns off the lights at the Elizabeth River station, will trophy trout that spend the winter in the warm water discharge leave the area? If the fish stay, anglers casting soft-bodied suspending twitch baits will score trophy trout through the coldest part of the winter. If the fish leave the river

He will target the large stripers lurking around the waters from Plantation Light to the Kiptopeake concrete ships. Drifting live eels and trolling will be the method used. #

Fish Spots

by Capt. Chris D. Dollar

Site 10 on Delaware Reefs

or a small state, Delaware sure packs in a lot of fishing reefs. All told, the First State now has 14 permitted artificial reef sites in Delaware Bay and along the Atlantic Coast, making it a good place to catch fish this month. The coolers of most anglers fishing Delaware reefs will be tautog heavy, though it’s possible to catch striper or sea bass, and even a meandering bluefish who didn’t get the memo to swim south. (Check regs for all species.) For the past two decades, the Delaware Reef Program has used a multi-tiered approach, specifically comprehensive fisheries management combined with reef design that enhances fish habitat. And since much of the near shore bottom along the Mid-Atlantic region is devoid of coral reefs or natural rocky outcrops like our neighbors to the south and north, respectively, sinking clean, non-toxic material, including subway cars, concrete, and decommissioned ships makes sense. Managers believe artificial reefs can increase fishing opportunities for anglers and improve fish habitat. You may recall a few years ago Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey teamed up to sink the 563-foot former U.S. Navy warship Arthur W. Radford. They dubbed it the “Del-Jersey-Land Reef,” and it has been called one of the largest artificial reefs in the world. Perhaps more important to area sport anglers, scuba divers, and spear fishermen, the reef sits equidistant — about 26 miles — from the inlets of Cape May, Ocean City, and Indian River Inlet. Tog chasers have options to fish Delaware, and one reef that’s close to shore is Site 10. Not to be confused with Area 51, this fishing spot isn’t

Share Your Catch! 46 January 2015 PropTalk

an alien landing base but a collection of all kinds of fish-attracting stuff — small tugs, barges and concrete materials — sunk by Delaware’s Artificial Reef Program, part of the state’s Division of Fish and Wildlife. I spoke with Captain Chuck Cook of First Light charters (firstlightcharters.net) who loves to fish for tog this time of year. He fishes Delaware waters year-round and often launches his Jones Brothers Cape Fisherman center console from Lewes and Indian River Inlet. One of his “go to” spots in December is Site 10, which from Indian River Inlet is a fairly easy, 5.5mile run as long as the weather is fit. Travel another 10 miles or so, and you can fish Site 11, another popular reef. Some of the natural wrecks Captain Cook likes to fish includes the Nina, Elizabeth Palmer, and Washington. In the warmer months, triggerfish, bluefish, and flounder congregate at Site 10. Captain Chuck says, “Fishing at Site 10 this month is 100 percent tautog fishing.” Like real estate, tog fishing is all about location. Using his GPS and fishfinder, Captain Chuck likes to drift the structure to figure out the current and determine the best place to set the anchor. Once in the right position, he’ll deploy a wreck anchor to place his boat right on top of the piece of Site 10 he wants to fish. When you’re tog fishing, he says, several feet can mean the difference between catching fish or not. “If you’re not right on the structure, you’re not catching fish. Sometimes you’ll notice fishermen on one side of the boat will have a hot bite, while on the other side it’s slow,” says the Delaware captain. That’s why he recommends using minimal scope. Also, be prepared to pull back on and adjust the rode so you hit that sweet spot, even

10 anchoring off a side cleat if necessary. Tog occupy the nooks and holes in the man-made reef like snowbirds packing a Florida condo. Notoriously finicky, you sometimes have to hit tog on the head with bait. And there’s no doubt bait is king for tog. I’m sure somebody somewhere has caught a tautog on a lure, but I’ve never witnessed it. It’s exclusively a bait game, the experts tell me. Green crabs, sand fleas, and clams are three entrees that will usually get a tog to eat. “Green crabs are a great bait but it has to be fresh,” says Captain Chuck. He also notes that the tog bite can be off if the water is dirty. At Site 10, expect to use sinkers as light as three ounces up to 12 ounces. It all depends on the strength of the tidal current. Tog sharpies know the less weight the better because it allows you to feel the often subtle take of the tog, as well as reduces chances of getting fouled in the structure. “You want to fish (your bait) straight up and down.” A medium or medium-heavy boat rod is adequate. Captain Cook uses a St. Croix musky stick matched to a Penn 310 conventional reel that’s

loaded with 50-pound braided line. Some tog anglers will go with a double hook setup, but Chuck keeps it to a single 3/0 offset Mustad hook on a 50-pound mono leader. The dropper loop holds the weight, and the snap swivel connects the leader to the running line. If you’re a DIY, trailer boat guy, you can get to Site 10 by launching at Mathews Landing and then run Indian River Inlet.

When I spoke to Captain Cook before writing this column, he cautioned that the buoys leading to the Inlet get pulled before the winter months, so you need to be careful because there are lots of shoals. Dropping in at the inlet is more straightforward. Leaving and returning to the Indian River is usually without too much drama. However, be prudent when confronted

with an ebbing tide boosted by an east wind. If you aren’t comfortable when those conditions are present, reschedule when conditions are more favorable. Or better yet, hire a professional like Captain Cook or one of the part boats that run out of Indian River. That’s my game plan. #

Farewell to Friends C

Capt. Buddy Harrison

harter boat captain and restaurant owner Levin “Buddy” Harrison III died October 15 at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Captain Buddy had been undergoing radiation treatments, and had entered the hospital a week earlier after having difficulty breathing. He was 80. The self-proclaimed “Boss Hogg of Tilghman Island” was a larger-than-life Eastern Shore celebrity. Born and raised in Bar Neck, he graduated from St. Michaels High School and attended the University of Maryland in College Park, where he played baseball. He graduated with a degree in business and returned to Tilghman Island with his bride, Bobbie, to help with the family businesses, which included Harrison’s Chesapeake House restaurant, Harrison Oyster Co., an inn, and a charter fishing boat. Follow us!

As a restaurant owner, Capt. Buddy operated Chesapeake House where Bobbie baked the cakes and pies for dessert. In the 1980s, they began selling steamed crabs from a buy boat in Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood. The operation soon expanded to a restaurant, Harrison’s Pier Five, which was in business for a decade. Harrison established a scholarship fund to help his employees with financial assistance. As a charter boat captain, Capt. Buddy was known as a friend and guide to presidents, governors, and senators. “Capt. Buddy shared with me the extraordinary hospitality of the people of the Eastern Shore,” said Senator Barbara Mikulski in a statement. His original charter boat was the 50-foot Buddy Plan, which he later swapped out for the 62-foot Capt. Buddy. He was as easily

recognizable off the water, where he was always sporting excessive gold jewelry and snakeskin boots, driving around Tilghman in a camouflaged Hummer. But as a fisherman, Capt. Buddy had a record, and to some, he was a very polarizing figure. Many viewed his multiple brushes with the law as a result of his being of an era when many people believed the Chesapeake Bay produced an inexhaustible supply of fish, shellfish, and fowl. Many also believed that he mixed a marketing genius with the fierce independence of the watermen culture of Tilghman Island. To wit, in 2006, after being convicted of fish and goose poaching, Capt. Buddy surrendered his charter boat and guide licenses. Yet at the time of his death, he was still actively working. Capt. Buddy is survived by two sons, Levin “Little Buddy” Harrison, IV, and Charles “Chuck” Harrison, seven grandchildren, and a great-grandson. # PropTalk January 2015 47

My Favorite Gifts

by Eric Burnley

hen I was a kid, Christmas morning was a time of magic. The dull green tree that I saw before I went to bed would be transformed into a sparkling festival of lights reflected a thousand times over in the shiny balls all hung on the previously bare branches. And under the tree were so many packages wrapped in colorful paper and tied with red and green bows I didn’t know where to begin tearing them apart. Almost 70 years have passed since those happy days, yet I still get excited when Christmas morning rolls around. The Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, and Lionel Trains have been replaced with more mundane items such as new underwear, calendars and fruitcake. Today the best presents are the arrival of my two sons, their wives, and my granddaughter. When we finally get around to opening packages, I find some of my most treasured gifts are related to fishing and boating.

The one gift I received in recent years that sees the most use is my Stearns Inflatable PFD. I wear it every time I am on my boat or on any other boat of less than 30 feet. This PFD is lightweight, inflates itself, and is so comfortable I forget I have it on. After one trip on a friend’s boat we stopped at a WaWa to fill the boat with fuel and myself with a cold Diet Coke. As I went into the store a guy on the way out asked if we were expecting a flood. I had no idea what he was talking about until I realized I still had my PFD on even though it was a hot day. 48 January 2015 PropTalk

Another gift that receives a lot of use is my Shimano soft tackle bag. It is perfect when I’m on my boat or in my truck or when I am on the beach. This bag is easy to carry, so I can take it fishing on another boat, and the soft sides and bottom will never mar a deck or teak covering boards. I can switch out the various plastic tackle boxes to match the type of fishing I will be doing on any given trip. I have boxes of plugs, metal lures, bucktails, and D.O.A. lures. One plastic box that is always in my bag contains a wide variety of hooks, swivels and snaps. The large pocket in the front of the bag holds several different types of mono lines, so I can make up any type of leader or rig in short order.

A very good gift that I did not receive, but have given to other anglers, is a Boomerang Tool Company line cutter. I have been fishing for many years and must say this tool is the handiest thing I have ever owned. It has a retractable wine line with a split ring on the end so it may be attached to just about anything. Just pull the tool when you need it and then it snaps right back out of the way when you are finished. I have mine on a carabineer along with a tarp clip. The clip holds my MOJO microfiber fishing rag. If you have a fly fisherman on your list, give him one of these to put on his vest, and he will be happy as a clam.

Another present I have given is a set of Frogg Toggs foul weather gear. These are very lightweight and yet they not only keep you dry, they also cut the wind on those cool spring or fall mornings as you run to your favorite fishing or rafting location. Frogg Toggs take up very little room, and I can store them in the limited space on my 16-foot Starcraft. Boats with more storage have room to store several sets of Frogg Toggs until they are needed. With the cost for a complete set under $50, it is not a problem buying them as a gift or for your own use.

As the holiday season draws near, I suspect my faith in Santa Claus will be tested once again. Every year I ask for the same two gifts: a C-3 L88 427 Corvette with Megan Fox in the passenger seat and a 70-foot Spencer with three IPS Drives and Megan Fox as First Mate. To date Santa has not delivered, but I keep holding out hope. proptalk.com

What’s In Season

Duck Poppers I

t’s hard to go wrong with duck. Even harder still when you’re wrapping it in bacon, stuffing it in a jalapeno, and throwing in some cheese, just for good measure. This recipe came to us via Josh Johns and his brother, Chris, who enjoys it regularly at the Black Dog Waterfowlers Club in Arkansas. While it can be made in the broiler either at home or on your boat, this is a great meal to take outside to the grill while the snow is falling.

Duck Poppers ingredients PP Two duck breasts sliced into three-inch long strips, half an inch thick PP Six strips of thick-cut bacon, cut in half PP 12 fresh jalapeno peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded PP Half a cup of cream cheese PP Sesame Ginger salad dressing (Italian salad dressing also works well)

Recipe Courtesy of Chris Johns

Directions Lay bacon strips on a large cutting board. Fill jalapenos with a spoonful of cream cheese, then place a piece of the duck breast on top of the jalapeno. Gently roll up the duck and jalapeno in the bacon to form a tight ball. Secure with a toothpick pierced through the center. Once you have 12 poppers assembled, place them in a shallow dish and cover them in the sesame ginger dressing. Marinade poppers for 30 minutes to an hour. Cook the poppers over medium-high heat on a grill, being careful not to place them directly over the heat source (the bacon will drip). Turn every 5-7 minutes to allow for full cooking. Poppers will be finished when the bacon is crispy.
