want to waste a lot of time and spend a lot of money. Take it from the experts on the water – you won’t schedule that dead battery or engine failure – and when it happens it’s not always easy to get service. You could be waiting for hours as a non-member because Sea Tow members always get priority over non-members when it comes to towing. Also, membership takes 24-hours to activate, so while you CAN buy a membership the first time you call for service, you will need to pay out-of-pocket for your first service. Last year, nonmembers paid an average of $750 per incident for service.

YOUR ROA JOIN TOD

I have boat insurance. Is it worth it to join Sea Tow? The short answer is, yes. Boat insurance is intended to protect your investments – your boat, electronics, and gear – in case of an unexpected accident or disaster. It can also protect you from legal costs and lawsuits after an accident. But a Sea Tow membership is not insurance, it’s assurance. Sea Tow Captains come to your aid when things go wrong, to provide a tow, deliver fuel, or jump-start your battery. Since 1983, Sea Tow’s focus has been premium level service and safety.

But my boat insurance has towing coverage– do I still need Sea Tow? Insurance companies don’t have boats, Sea Tow does. Sea Tow members receive priority service and free towing, along with the ability to get back to your home port or repair facility in your home area, not just the

Plus, will a claim for a simple tow increase your insurance rates? Why wonder? Get a Sea Tow membership and know you have the most comprehensive on-water assistance benefits available.

What’s the biggest benefit of a Sea Tow membership? For most recreational boaters, the biggest benefit of a Sea Tow membership is peace of mind. Being a Sea Tow member means having access to captains with tremendous experience and local knowledge, and that provides a comfort level that boaters cannot get with any other service.

NewBoats Avalon’s Waketoon Surf Series Pontoon Named One of Boating Industry’s Top Products of the Year

www.TheMariner.com

A

generational appeal in this design that combines the convenience of a pontoon with the ability to wakesurf,” said Jim Wolf, president of Avalon & Tahoe Manufacturing.

“A clear secret to the success on this project was collaboration with Volvo Penta and integration of the company’s innovative Forward Drive.”

lma, Mich. – May 1, 2020 – (Marine NewsWire) Boating Industry, the monthly U.S. boating business magazine, has listed the new Waketoon Surf Series Pontoon from Avalon & Tahoe Manufacturing among the top new products of the year. The versatile boat combines the most sought-after benefits of both a high-performance pontoon boat and the increasingly popular wakesurf boats into one exciting combination watercraft.

The top 50 boating products, which appeared in the May issue of Boating Industry, were chosen by the magazine’s editors based on their impact on the industry, innovation and how they advanced their category.

“We’ve seen a few different styles of pontoons push to appeal to the surf crowd over the past couple of years especially. The new Waketoon from Avalon takes things to a whole new level. From first glance to an in-depth walkthrough it’s very clear that no detail went unchecked, resulting in a beautiful boat that’s sure to impress anyone looking for a vessel to do it all,” said Adam Quandt, managing editor of Boating Industry.

What differentiates this unique craft is a

new patent-pending pontoon design with an integrated rocker and shaper, along with contoured wake plates to enable desirable waterflow. There is no heavy ballast tank system, which leads to improved overall handling and the elimination of a timeconsuming fill-and-drain process. The boat also offers the capability for tandem wakesurfing on both sides of the wake, instead of the ability to only surf together on the same side.

It is the first pontoon boat combined with the award-winning Volvo Penta Forward Drive, designed with forward-facing dual counter-rotating props under the boat with an adjustable-tilt drive. The innovative drive

has earned recognition for superior fuel economy, speed, range, acceleration and maneuverability in thousands of boats on the market today. The boat also integrates Volvo Penta’s lightweight, high-performance next-generation gasoline engines which are designed for simple serviceability.

The Waketoon Surf Series was also selected for an NMMA Innovation Award at the 2020 Minneapolis Boat Show by a panel of judges from Boating Writers International.

--About Avalon & Tahoe Manufacturing In business since 1972 and based in Alma, Mich., Avalon & Tahoe Manufacturing is the third largest pontoon manufacturer in the world by way of unit sales. The organization is comprised of two brands, “Avalon” and “Tahoe Pontoons.” The Michigan-based production facility encompasses more than 287,000 square feet dedicated to manufacturing and shipping. In 2019, Avalon & Tahoe Manufacturing was named Michigan Manufacturer of the Year, and the organization is perennially recognized by the National Marine Manufacturers Association for its commitment to customer satisfaction as evidenced by numerous Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Awards.

“We’ve seen tremendous interest in the Waketoon Surf Series since its launch, and that’s no surprise to us given the cross-

Capt. Galindo is originally from Cuba while Ms. Perez hails from Miami. “Carlos and Ilene are living the American dream,” said BoatUS Vice President of Towing Services John Condon. “Their bilingual language skills and their reputation for prompt, professional, and friendly service at any hour of the day or night have made them a lot of friends in the Keys.”

SLAMORADA, Fla., May 7, 2020 – A local business that helps boaters with routine on water assistance was recognized for its professionalism at the 2020 BoatUS Towing Services Annual Conference held in Orlando, Florida. TowBoatUS Islamorada, which is owned and operated by Capt. Carlos Galindo and Ilene Perez, took “Tower of the Year” honors besting more than 100 TowBoatUS companies.

Upon receiving the honor Ms. Perez said, “A deeply grateful ‘thank you’ to our BoatUS members, without whom this would not be possible, and to our TowBoatUS family whose encouragement and support keep us afloat everyday. A special heartfilled thanks to the former company owners, Capt.

Barrie Pierce McCune and Capt. Diana McCune, for trusting us with TowBoatUS Islamorada. The day we closed the sale of the business we made a promise to keep your legacy going.

This award is in your honor!”

The company’s red towing response vessels are a familiar sight in the Florida Keys. TowBoatUS Islamorada

(L to R) TowBoatUS Islamorada owners Carlos Galindo and Ilene Perez (credit: BoatUS)

provides assistance to recreational boats that break down, run aground, run out of fuel, or need a battery jumpstart. The award acknowledges the company for its near-perfect 24-hour towing dispatch operation, superior customer service and satisfaction, towing case management, and its work in the local boating community.

The company has three response vessels, from 24- to 31-feet, stationed at Plantation Yacht Harbor Marina and IslaMarina across from the US Coast Guard station, ready to go at a moment’s notice to assist boaters. Much like an auto club for recreational boaters, TowBoatUS Islamorada is part of a nationwide network that annually responds to more than 70,000 requests for routine on-water assistance.

TowBoatUS Islamorada can be hailed on VHF channel 16, by calling the company directly at 305-8526451, by phoning the BoatUS tollfree 24/7 Dispatch Center at 800391-4869, or via smartphone using the free BoatUS App.

A Boater’s Guide to Hurricane Preparation

C

an you believe it? Hurricane season is once again upon us, and if you own a boat now is the time to start preparing for the unthinkable. It doesn’t matter whether you store your most prized possession at a marina, on a trailer or in dry storage, everyone is susceptible to damage from heavy wave action, hurricane force winds, tropical downpours, storm surge, and collisions from nearby vessels/objects.

Remember that it doesn’t take a direct hit from a severe hurricane to send powerful winds and storm surge in your direction – you can experience serious damage even if the storm doesn’t pass as close as once predicted.

HOW TO PREPARE Hurricanes are extremely powerful and unpredictable cyclonic systems that deserve the utmost of respect.

Even with today’s high-tech communication and forecasting systems it is virtually impossible to predict the precise path of the eye. This means you must always be prepared for the worst.

THINGS TO DO BEFORE A STORM APPROACHES 1. Check your boat’s hatches, ports, windows and doors to make sure they are watertight. As an added precaution, enhance the seal with duct tape.

2. Store your insurance policy and boat registration documents in a safe place off your vessel.

3. Take pictures and/or videos to inventory your boat, equipment and gear.

4. Top off your boat’s fuel and water tank(s) and check to make sure all batteries are fully charged.

5. Remove and/or secure all gear on deck including: outriggers, fighting-chairs, coolers, radio antennas and canvas Bimini-tops.

AT THE DOCK If you own a boat that is too large to trailer, you have three options: Secure the boat at a dock, moor the boat in a safe cove or harbor often called a “hurricane hole,” or have the boat hauled and placed in dry storage which is likely your best bet.

However, if you decide to leave your boat at a private dock or in a marina, you should devise a plan of action well before a storm is approaching. Here are some general recommendations:

Surges

• Double all lines and set up crossing spring lines fore and aft.

• Attach lines high on pilings to allow for rising tidal or storm surges.

• Use long dock lines in conjunction with chafe devices to ensure the well being of critical points.

• Look for strong trees, pilings and cleats that can be used to secure docklines.

• You are most likely going to use nearby or adjacent pilings, so it will take planning and cooperation from slip-neighbors and/or marina management.

• Breakdown of Hurricane Categories and Associated Storm

TRAILER BOATS If your boat is easily trailerable, it is highly recommended that you store your boat far away from the danger of rising storm surge. If at all possible, store your boat in a garage or warehouse. If this is not an option, there are a few things you can do to ensure the safety of your vessel.: • Place your trailer where there is some protection from wind, falling branches, and flying debris.

• You can increase the weight of your boat by filling any fish boxes or livewells with hose water.

If you decide to do this, you must remember to slightly deflate your trailer tires and place wooden blocks between the trailer’s frame to help support the added weight.

• Secure your trailer and boat to the ground with augers or anchors.

• Pick a location that enables you to lash your boat from all four corners, as storm winds can quickly rotate and change directions.

BOATS ON LIFTS/DAVITS A boat lift is not the ideal place to store your vessel during a hurricane, as it is possible for the storm surge to rise higher than your lift. If your boat must remain on its lift, be sure to remove the drainage plug(s) so the accumulated rainwater/storm surge will not jeopardize the structural integrity of your lift.

It is also extremely important that you securely attach your boat to the lift.

REMOTE VESSEL MONITORING There are low-cost, remote vessel monitoring systems that can notify you of problems on your vessel when you are away from the dock. These systems can be delivered ready to monitor bilge and battery levels with three additional inputs that can be used to monitor security and fire hazards as well.

THINGS TO DO AFTER A STORM PASSES If your boat is damaged from the storm, immediately contact your insurance agent and be sure not to sign any wreck removal or salvage agreements before acquiring approval from your insurance provider.

If you were fortunate enough to avoid any serious damage, be sure to help your neighbors and friends if assistance is needed.

PRINGFIELD, Va., May 11, 2020 – Most insurance is straightforward, until it’s not. When you have an accident or property damage, you file an insurance claim. But filing an insurance claim on a boat trailer isn’t so straightforward. That’s because it depends on how and what type of damage occurred that will determine which insurance coverage – auto, homeowners, or your boat insurance policy’s trailer coverage – that will pay the claim. By looking at some common ways claims happen, BoatUS dissects boat trailer insurance to help trailer boaters understand what they need to know.

If you’re driving to the lake with boat and trailer in tow and the trailer is damaged in an accident on the road, it’s the separate trailer coverage provided by your boat’s insurance policy that will pay for repairs or replacement of the trailer.

Now let’s suppose you back your trailer into fence or stone wall, or the trailer strikes someone walking across busy launch ramp parking lot. In these cases, it’s your auto insurance policy’s liability coverage that would pay for damages to other property or vehicles, or any medical claims. And again, your boat insurance policy’s trailer coverage would take care of repairs to the trailer itself.

What happens if while parked in your driveway, a tree falls on your trailer? Winter storms are notorious for damaging boat trailers. There are two possible answers here. It may be the trailer coverage in your boat’s insurance policy that will compensate you, or you may also be able to make a claim on your homeowner’s policy. However, if a trailer is damaged

or stolen when stored at a marina or other storage facility, the separate trailer coverage in the boat’s insurance policy will compensate you.

What this all really means is that trailer boaters need to ensure their tow vehicle’s (auto) insurance policy includes liability coverage for any damage to others’ property while trailering. Next, trailer boaters should ask their homeowners insurance company if the trailer is covered when stored at home. If the trailer is stored at a marina or storage facility, read the fine print in your storage contract as many hold these facilities harmless. Having separate trailer coverage may, again, take care of this.

Not all boat insurance policies automatically provide boat trailer coverage, so ask. Also find out if there are geographic limits on where you may trailer the boat.

If you do choose to add trailer coverage to your boat’s insurance policy, ensure that your insurer knows the cost of the boat and trailer separately. If you don’t, they may have difficulty in fairly compensating you for a claim.

One final important consideration is roadside assistance. No one wants to leave a disabled boat trailer with your pride and joy on its bunks alone on the side of the highway. While many auto insurance policies offer roadside assistance, boat trailers aren’t likely to be included.

All BoatUS boat insurance policies include BoatUS Trailer Assist, which will cover towing both a boat trailer and its disabled towing vehicle up to 100 miles.

Alternatively, it may be added to a BoatUS membership for an additional $14. Visit BoatUS.com

Safe Catch Offers Lowest Mercury Limit Canned Tuna in Stores

Safe Catch wants moms, kids, athletes AND boaters to feel great about tuna!

S

AUSALITO, CA – Safe Catch is setting revolutionary purity limits for canned tuna as the only brand that tests every single fish for mercury. Albertsons, Publix, Winn-Dixie, Earth Origins and The Fresh Market are some of the first grocers to stock Safe Catch canned tuna.

“We developed the technology to test every fish for mercury,” said Safe Catch co-founder Sean Wittenberg. “We launched Safe Catch tuna for health conscious consumers.”

children by the leading national consumer advocacy group.

“We are excited to debut at leading edge retailers that share our ideals to help people eat healthier and live better,” said co-founder Bryan Boches. “Purity gets us noticed, but we chose a different path in almost everything we do.”

For every tuna, Safe Catch

Safe Catch Elite tuna has a mercury limit 10 times stricter than the FDA and an average mercury level as low as wild salmon and sardines per Karimi 2012, the largest mercury in seafood database. Safe Catch Elite is also the only canned tuna that meets ‘Low Mercury’ criteria set for pregnant women and young

verifies sustainability, inspects quality and tests for mercury. Unlike conventional brands, Safe Catch does not precook its tuna because precooking impairs flavor and leaches nutrients, including the majority of Omega 3s, from the fish. Instead, Safe Catch tuna is hand-packed raw to retain all of the Omega 3s, B vitamins, Iron, Niacin, Potassium, Selenium, Thiamin and Vitamin D that occur naturally in wild tuna. Additionally, Safe Catch created its own cooking process that just tastes better.

One can of Safe Catch tuna has 35 grams of protein with all 10 essential amino acids. Safe Catch products contain no pyrophosphates or additives, and all cans are BPA-free.

“Most of us grew up draining canned tuna,” said Boches. “No need with

Safe Catch. Just open the can into a bowl, mix and watch the nutrients absorb back into the tuna steak. It isn’t just better for you. It tastes better.”

About Safe Catch – Find a Store or Buy Online at SafeCatch.com. Safe Catch was started by two childhood friends in Sausalito, CA. Safe Catch tuna is Paleo Certified, the Official Tuna of the American Pregnancy Association, and an Expo West 2015 NEXTY Award Winner – which goes to innovative products that embody social and environmental values. Safe Catch is about more than better tuna.

GAME QUALITIES: A strong but unpredictable fighter. Usually clicks off long, fast runs, and can fight deep with great stamina; however, many individuals put on lackluster fights if not pressured too hard— saving their best efforts for after they are boated!

LIFETIME PARTNERS: Cobia will mate up at an early age and stay together, when only one cobia is spotted that means its partner has already been caught.

The first thing that comes to mind when someone says cobia fishing in Tampa Bay is buoy tending. I have another method I’ve used over the years that works as good if not better than chasing them all over the bay.

First let’s start with the bait; greenback sardines, blue crabs and pinfish are the baits of choice. I find an area of grass flats close to a channel or drop off. I prefer the water depth around 3 to 4 feet. I then start by chumming for the bait with a mixture of tropical fish food, anise oil and some salt water mixed to a cream of wheat texture. The secret to chumming is not to feed the bait but attracting them to the boat.

I use an 10 foot 3/8 mesh bait HUMPBACK net with only 10-pounds of lead made by Tampa Fishing Outfitters. This light bait net works great if you don’t exceed 8-foot of water it’s also a life saver on your back.

A live well is a must to have on any boat, and if you don’t have one, they can be purchased at most retail tackle outlet stores. A good live well needs to be at least 25-gallons or bigger

with a 700 or 1100 gallon an hour pump. Ok, now we caught our baits, but what are we to do next? That is simple: start cutting the baits (greenback sardine) in half and make a large pile on the cutting board. Start by tossing pieces in the water around the boat and wait for rays to start showing up. Southern rays or brown rays are attracted to you chumming and with them come the cobias. Remember, cobia like structure and are lazy to feed, but as the rays move in on the scent of the chum with them come the cobia. Rays stir the bottom up with their wings in order to feed and this brings up all the small shrimps and crabs and pieces of chum to the surface of the flats.

The cobia will be just under the rays or next to them picking the pieces of bait the rays leave behind. Toss a live pinfish, small blue crab or greenback at them and hold on. A word of caution: leave the bail open on the reel until the cobia get at least 20 feet from the boat before you set the hook, or they will head for the nearest structure your boat. I have several broken rods at home to remind me. I make it a habit to keep one rod with an artificial bait, many times I have had a cobia sneak up on me from nowhere and you have very little time to get the right size live bait so my old stand by the Savage TPE crab works every time. Of course, Mother Nature has a way of playing games and we have to go to plan B or C. Plan B - Buoy tending: the ritual of running from one buoy (channel markers-range markers) to another looking for cobia hanging around

with Captain Kyle Messier Serious Crystal River Fishing Action While many parts of the country are still battling the effects of the Corona Virus, here in Florida and especially in Citrus County, life is starting to navigate back to normalcy. Local restaurants are once again open and serving patrons. Boat ramps and marinas are open and offering visitors an outdoors reprieve from the constant 24-hour new cycle. And best of all Reel Florida Fishing Charters is still fishing daily and providing visiting anglers with some incredible inshore fishing trips.

INTERESTED IN A GREAT DAY ON THE WATER? CALL CAPT. KYE MESSIER TODAY. FISHING REPORT What’s not to like about 80° weather in Florida with little to no humidity? Weather like this is almost unheard of in Florida this time of year and as most venturing anglers have found out lately, it’s still a little to early to put away that sweatshirt when they walk out the door. The beauty of weather patterns like this is that our local fish populations will continue to remain entrenched in their early Spring patterns and should continue to feed consistently until the dog days of summer arrive.

Species such as Cobia, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Snook will continue to offer anglers the most consistent action along the Nature Coast. Fishing a variety of structures that are known to

18

hold multiple species has been the easiest way to target all of these species during a particular sitting. Structures such as oyster bars, spoil islands, and mangroveladen islands offer fish the structure need to ambush prey and usually on these structures prey can be extremely plentiful.

Crabs, Shrimp, and a variety of bait fish call these structures home throughout a day so it makes plenty of sense to fish as many different baits in a variety of ways to increase successful odds.

When fishing structures that offer up a variety of species I usually like to have multiple rods rigged and ready for what ever may show up above or below the surface. Below you will find my go to rods and rigs for fishing multiple species this time of year: 1. Medium spinning gear rigged with 15lb braid, 25lb fluorocarbon leaders, and either ¼ oz. jig heads or 1/0 live bait hooks. These rods when rigged correctly can allow anglers the opportunity to fish for species closer to the bottom or on the surface. A tail pinched shrimp on a jig head is absolutely deadly and free lining a shrimp hooked through the horn in current can easily entice a hungry Gator Trout.

2. Medium heavy spinning gear rigged with 20lb braid, 30-40lb fluorocarbon leaders, and “Crusher Style” 3/0 circle hooks.

These rigs are Primo for free lining live pinfish

WestSouthwest Central Florida Coast them during the slack tide periods.

The term early bird gets the worm applies in this case, the first anglers to the buoys have the best shot at catching them. I prefer to use a large float with a 4 to 6 inch pinfish or threadfin sardine suspended about 3 foot under the float, start your drift up current of the buoy and let the bait pass the marker don’t give up on the first pass cobia sometime are cautious fish and take more than one drift to get them to strike.

SPOT-LOCK FISHING: Another vital element to some cobia angler is the use of Minn Kota I-Pilot trolling motor with SPOT LOCK, which eliminates the drift. With my I-Pilot I can Spot-Lock close to the buoy within casting distance and work my live bait on both sides of the buoy. It saves time, and cobia never spook.

Plan C - Luck: being on the right spot at the right time when one just happens to be cruising by looking for a mate or structurer. Such as my good buddy Bryan McNatt was tarpon fishing off Bean Point when out of nowhere this large cobia came by asking to be caught.

Tackle: Around the flats 15-pound breaded line with 30-pound fluorocarbon leader attached to 3/0 circle hook works great, 7-foot medium light rod with Helios 30 Okuma reel. When fishing buoys or structure I go to 40-pound breaded line with 50-pound fluorocarbon leader at least 4 foot long a 7 foot medium heavy action rod with a Azores 6000 Okuma reel.

SouthwestWest CoastFlorida in current. A “Crusher Style” of circle hook basically means that there is a minimal amount of lead around the bend of the hook.

3. A Heavy Spinning rod rigged with 30lb braid, 60lb fluorocarbon leader, and 4/0 heavy wire live bait hook is a must this time of year as there are plenty of large Cobia cruising the flats. This rig allows anglers easy access to rig a Hogy soft plastic or even a free lined pinfish.

TARPON TIME 2020 It’s that time of year again folks!!! May and June is Prime Time for those anglers looking to target one of the largest inshore species found anywhere on the planet. As most Tarpon anglers will tell you, fishing for Tarpon is more than just another fishing trip, it’s an obsession. All it takes is one time watching a Tarpon take a fly to be sold on the sport.

We fish for the legends. We live for the SILVER KING!!!!!!!

Thank you for reading this Econlockhatcheee River Exploration report. I hope you are maintaining your health and your sanity through this pandemic thing.

Since I have more time available than normal, I have been reading more, both on-line and in print. Today I read a fascinating article. Here is an excerpt“...our institutions are still profoundly anthropocentric. We deny even the most basic rights to other parts of nature, including our close animal relatives, some of which share more than 97 percent of our DNA. We pollute our environment with close to zero regard for the well-being of its ecosystems—and we fight pollution only if and when it inconveniences us.

Scientific experiments on human beings are not only illegal, but are considered barbarous even when they could provide some useful information. This is in sharp contrast to our practice of experimenting on lab animals, hunting foxes, or killing bulls in the arena. Even in the purely abstract realms of knowledge, one often hears the complaint that physical sciences are “cold” and “inhuman” exactly because they are less permeated by

The waters off Marathon offer abundant opportunities for a wide spectrum of species during June. With far fewer anglers on the water, the fisheries have had significant less pressure for the past few weeks.

Boating was out. But, if you fish in the woods, the wind is not an issue. So I fished in the woods.

Tuesday Tammy and I went to Tosahatchee, hoping to stroll through an almost-dry St. Johns River bed and catch some fish. The river is not low enough yet.

We left and did some upper Econ work.

We did more walking than fishing but managed to catch a few bass, using the RipTide Sardine. That river is very low.

Wednesday I parked at 419 and the Econ and walked upstream. There were pools with water, separated by riffles that are almost dry. I did not see much in the river, and only hit two dinkers. I found a retention pond that was an ugly shade of green but got two more dinkers there.

Lovely morning, though.

In the afternoon I stopped at Hidden River RV Park, on the Econ at SR 50. At one time you could pay to launch a paddle vessel here. They got out of that business due to concerns about liability, very sad.

I went to Old Cheney Highway to see if I could access the river there. On both sides of the river there’s a six-foot chainlink fence with a sign, “No Trespassing per order Orange County Commission.” That

On the reef, it’s all about the snapper fishing, with yellowtails and mangroves providing most of the action. Large amounts of chum will keep the fish interested. We supplement our frozen block chum with a mixture of oats and YellowtailUp from Aquatic Nutrition. Any cut baits, such as ballyhoo or bonita belly, work well.

The most productive depths typically are 50 to 80 feet of water.

The yellowtails eat cut baits or shrimp, while the mangroves take chunk baits or small live baits such as ballyhoo or pinfish.

Wreck fishing for mutton snapper is usually very good during June, with all

depths from 100 to 250 feet worth investigating. There are lots of larger fish in the 12- to 18-pound range, plus we often find our heftiest muttons of the year at 20 pounds and greater.

Live baits, including pinfish and ballyhoo, work best for the muttons, although a butterflied ballyhoo will sometimes outproduce a live bait, so it’s always worth a try.

And, there are still plenty of amberjacks, almaco jacks and we usually see some African pompano during June as well.

As for wide-open fishing, this is the time of the year we see the peak of the dolphin (mahi-mahi) run offshore of Marathon. Large quantities of these colorful gamefish pile through the Florida Straits every day.

What the dolphin may lack in size, they make up for in quantity. So, if you’re looking to fill your freezer, you’ll be able to load up on schoolie-size (five- to tenpound) dolphin, with the occasional bigger fish in the 15- to 40-pound category.

All the standard dolphin fishing tactics will work. Try trolling or looking for weed lines, birds working the surface or floating debris.

Central Florida piece of river is hard to get to.

Thursday I used my bicycle to try to access the river. I rode a way, then hid the bike in the woods, then bushwacked about a mile to the river bed. It was mostly dry. I found one shallow hole that had some fish, small ones. I got a few and then they stopped biting. Other than that I could not find enough water for anything more than guppies.

I did find some pitcher plants, though.

And my face found several spider webs.

Friday I again used my bicycle to access the river. Again I hid the bike in the woods and worked a stretch of river. This piece had some water between the riffles.

I only saw a single bass. I only had a single strike, a dinker.

Around noon I figured if I were going to hit fish it would have already happened. I went back to get my bike. I hid it so well even I couldn’t find it. It took me about 30 minutes to locate it. Silly John!

This week I rode my bike about 10 miles and walked about five more, enjoying the entire episode. But the catching part of the equation could certainly have been better.

“Soon after I embraced the sport of angling I became convinced that I should never be able to enjoy it if I had to rely on the cooperation of the fish.” - Sparse Grey Hackle

Marathon/Florida Marathon/FloridaKeys Keys If you find some floating debris in these deep areas, you may luck into a wahoo or two. For best results, troll lipped plugs past the debris or drop large bucktails or butterfly jigs to 200 feet and retrieve them to the surface as fast as possible.

While there’s still some tarpon action at the bridges, it tends to wane dramatically by midmonth. So, if catching a Silver King is on your bucket list, get out there early in the month for a shot at a mature tarpon in the 80- to 150-pound class.

Shallow-water, catch-and-release shark fishing in Florida Bay is red-hot during June. Lemons are the primary shark species this time of year, but you may also see blacktips, bulls, hammerheads and more.

These sharks range in size from five to eight feet, and it’s not unusual to find yourself with a 200-pound toothy critter on the end of your line. They give you a good fight, with acrobatics, before you reel them in to the side of the boat for a photo opp and then release them to fight another day.

If you feel your home may flood, turn off the gas to the appliances. _____ Turn off propane tanks. _____ Disconnect all appliances except the refrigerator and freezer. _____ Let people know when you are leaving and where you are going. _____ Lock the windows and doors. _____ Put plastic bags over televisions, stereos, lamps, computers, etc. _____ Fill the sinks and bathtubs with water to use for bathing, washing clothes and flushing when you return. _____ Pack some clothes and shoes in plastic bags and store on high shelves. _____ Find a secure place for boats or second cars. _____ Trim weak limbs from trees and shrubs. _____ Cover windows and doors with shutters or plywood, if possible. _____ Bring inside or otherwise secure outdoor items such as bird feeders, bicycles, grills and planters. _____ Take with you proof of residence, social security cards, insurance policies, birth and marriage certificates, stocks, bonds and other financial certificates, irreplaceable photographs, wills, deeds and copies of recent tax returns. _____ Make sure your neighbors have safe transportation. _____ Take your survival supplies in the car with you. _____ Take a map, a list of shelters and official evacuation routes. _____ Take cash and/or traveler’s checks. (Remember, ATMs and “pay at the pump” services will not work in a power outage.)

Emergency Evacuation Checklist If you have only moments to prepare before leaving, grab as many of these things as you can and go! _____ Prescription medications, dentures, eyeglasses, hearing aids, over-the-counter medication you take regularly, and personal hygiene items _____ Flashlights, batteries, a battery-operated radio, a first aid kit, and bottled water _____ A change of clothes, and a sleeping bag or blankets and pillow for each member or the household _____ Car keys and, if you have them, keys to the place you are going

Shelter Tips If you plan to evacuate to a Red Cross community shelter take these items with you: _____ Pillows and blankets or sleeping bags _____ An air float or air mattress, if you want (Remember, you probably will have to sleep on a floor.) _____ Prescribed medications in their original bottles _____ A flashlight and batteries _____ Soap and towels _____ Toothbrushes, denture supplies and other personal hygiene items _____ Disposable cleaning cloths, such as baby wipes, to use if bathing facilities are not available _____ Food, formulas or supplements for infants, elderly people or people on special diets _____ Books, quiet toys, and games for children _____ Extra contact lenses or eyeglasses _____ Non-perishable snack foods and bottled water. _____ Baby supplies, including diapers, pre-mixed, canned formula and sleep-related items _____ A change of clothes _____ Lightweight folding chairs and/or cots, if you want (Remember, you probably will have to sit and sleep on a floor.) _____ Road maps and directions to shelters _____ Important legal documents, social security cards, proof of residence, and irreplaceable photographs _____ Any phone numbers you think you may need

Suggestions For Safe Travel • Travel during daylight hours, if at all possible.

• If you are planning to travel by a hired vehicle such as a taxi or ambulance, make arrangements in advance. (Many other people will be trying to do the same.) Keep in mind, however, that if a mandatory evacuation is ordered, drivers and other employees of cab, limousine and ambulance companies may also need to evacuate.

• If you expect to travel in your own vehicle, plan on leaving early, during the voluntary evacuation stage. Drowning accounts for most hurricane-related deaths, and most of the people who drown do so while attempting to drive their vehicles through rushing and rising water.

• If you are worried about being stranded, call your county emergency management team. Listen to the radio for instructions and contact information.

Tips On Keeping Pets Safe In An Evacuation • As well as planning for your family, you must also make plans for your pets. NEVER LEAVE A PET UNATTENDED IN AN EVACUATION. • Official shelters normally do not allow pets, so try to make alternative arrangements for pets to stay with family, friends, veterinarians or kennels in safe locations.

• Find a pet-friendly hotel. Call hotels in a safe location and ask if you can bring your pet. If the hotel has a no-pets policy, ask the manager if the hotel can waive the policy during the crisis. Very often, hotels managers relax rules in these situations.

• Make sure you take pet food, litter, cages or carriers, rabies certificates, leashes, collars with identification tags, and favorite toys with you. A photo of your pet is also a good idea, in case you are separated from the animal.

Boaters Guide Here is a list of the many things to consider before, during and after a hurricane. Some of the safety rules will make things easier for you during a hurricane.

I. BE PREPARED BEFORE THE HURRICANE _____ Check your marine insurance carefully to see if you are required to take

some action in order to make the claim valid. _____ Check with your marina and find out their policy for handling hurricanes.

In some States marinas can order all boats to leave.

If staying home, in a sturdy structure on high ground: (plan to evacuate if you live on the coastline or on an offshore island, or live near a river or in a flood plain) _____ Board up garage and porch doors. _____ Move valuables to upper floors.

_____ If you are going to move your boat, determine where ahead of time.

_____ Bring pets in.

_____ Learn the storm surge history and elevation of your area.

_____ Fill containers (bathtubs) with several days supply of drinking water.

_____ Learn safe routes inland and make plans of where you will evacuate to. _____ Inventory the property on your boat...with video equipment if possible.

Plan what will be removed from the boat and what must stay. _____ Keep all legal documents such as registration, insurance policy, marina

rental agreement, radio license etc. in one easily moved, secure container.

Make an inventory of documents, photos, and other irreplaceable articles that need to be taken in case of an evacuation.

II. WHEN A HURRICANE WATCH IS ISSUED (A WATCH means hurricane conditions pose a possible threat to the watch area within 36 hours) _____ Frequently monitor radio, TV, NOAA Weather Radio, or hurricane Hotline

telephone numbers for official bulletins of the storm’s progress. _____ Review needs and working condition of emergency equipment, such as first

aid kit, flashlights, battery-powered radios. _____ Move boats on trailers close to house. Weigh them down. Lash securely

to trailer and use tie-downs to anchor trailer to ground or house. Let air out of trailer tires. _____ Anchored boats should be tied high, using a half hitch knot (loop knots

slip). Anchor rigging should consist of new or good line and chain. _____ Boats docked at marinas should have extra lines attached. Line lengths

should be sufficient to take care of excessive high water. _____ Once your boat is secured, leave it and don’t return once the wind and

waves are up. _____ Fuel your car.

(one gallon per person per day) _____ Turn up refrigerator to maximum cold and don’t open unless necessary. _____ Use phone only for emergencies. _____ Stay indoors on the downwind side of the house away from windows. _____ Beware of the eye of the hurricane. _____ Bring in small hand tools to aid you should your home be damaged

during the storm.

If you are evacuating: (always evacuate if you live in a mobile home) _____ Leave areas which might be affected by storm tide or a stream flooding. _____ Leave early - in daylight if possible. _____ Shut off water and electricity at main stations. _____ Take small valuables and papers, but travel light. _____ Persons needing special foods or medicines should take them with them. _____ Take sufficient money in small bills to defray certain expenses you may incur. _____ Leave food and water for pets (shelters will not take your pets). _____ Lock up house. _____ Notify family members or friends outside of the warned area of your

evacuation plans. _____ Drive carefully to designated shelter or other evacuation location using

recommended evacuation routes.

IV. AFTER THE STORM PASSES

_____ Stock up on canned provisions _____ Check supplies of special medicines and drugs. _____ Secure lawn furniture and other loose material outdoors. _____ Tape, board, or shutter windows to prevent shattering. _____ Wedge sliding glass doors to prevent their lifting from their tracks.

_____ Stay in your protected area until announcements are made on the radio or TV

that the dangerous winds have passed. _____ Drive carefully; watch for dangling electrical wires, undermined roads, and

flooded low spots. _____ Report broken or damaged water, sewer, and electrical lines. _____ Use caution re-entering your home.

III. WHEN A HURRICANE WARNING IS ISSUED (A WARNING means sustained winds of 74 mph or higher are expected in the warning area within 24 hours or less.) _____ Closely monitor radio, TV, NOAA Weather Radio, or hurricane Hotline

_____ Check for gas leaks. _____ Check food and water for spoilage. _____ If your home has structural damage, do not enter until it is checked by

building officials.

telephone numbers for official bulletins. _____ Follow instructions issued by local officials.

LEAVE IMMEDIATELY IF ORDERED TO DO SO.

THE Florida MARINER #907 / 24 May 2020

Brace Yourselves. Forecasts call for an Above-Average 2020 Hurricane Season, Sea Tow Urges Boaters to Start Preparing Now. Here are 5 Tips from Sea Tow Captains to Help Boaters Get Ready Sea Tow Services International, Inc., the nation’s leading on-water marine assistance provider, urges boaters to prepare now for the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season (June 1-November 30). The major hurricane trackers are predicting 18 named storms this season and 9 hurricanes, four of which will be major. This forecast is significantly above the 30-year (1981-2010) normalized average of 13 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.

Captain Joseph Frohnhoefer III, CEO of Sea Tow, heeds a strong warning, “Boaters should always be prepared for rough weather. While its hard to predict exactly how many named storms and hurricanes will form this season, all models are predicting a tremendous amount of activity.

If its consistent with 2017’s activity, we urge all boaters to start planning now! To that end, Sea Tow offers boaters the following five tips from its experienced Coast Guardlicensed Captains on how to prepare for the upcoming hurricane season.

Get started now: 1. Ensure You’re Insured. A boat that is damaged by a hurricane can wind up costing far more to fix than a marine insurance policy costs annually. Review your boat policy’s requirements and be sure to comply with them. Boat owners whose insurance requires them to relocate their vessels out of a hurricane zone should do so by the date specified in their policy. Call Sea Insure with any questions you may have, 877-5681672.

2. Man with a Plan. Most insurance providers require a formal written Storm Plan detailing where and how your boat must be secured during a major storm. Designate a responsible person to execute the plan if you are out of town when a hurricane threatens.

3. No Loose Cannons. Check with your marina, storage facility or the owner of the private dock where your boat is moored to

be sure the vessel can remain there during a hurricane. If it can stay, know the procedure for securing not only your boat, but those docked around it, as well. Any boat that breaks loose in a hurricane can wind up damaging your boat.

4. Smooth Move. If you must move your boat from its current slip in the event of a storm, decide where you are going to have it hauled before a hurricane is forecast.

Check with your local Sea Tow operator to see what pre-storm haul-out services are offered in your area.

5. Shoot Your Boat. Make an inventory, preferably by video, of all valuable fixed items such as marine electronics that you cannot remove from your boat. Store all the boat’s documents, including your marine insurance policy, in a secure place not on the vessel.

Lastly, keep an eye to the sky and closely monitor local and national weather services, including NOAA Weather Radio and the National Weather Service’s National Hurricane Center www.nhc.noaa.gov.

49’ BENETEAU 2008

In June 2015 this 49’ Beneteau was underway and experienced a hard grounding on a ledge. The inspection found scrapes and gouges on the keel and rudder. No other needed repairs were found at that time and the vessel was placed back into service. During a replacement of a bilge mounted water pump, by a mechanic in the Fall of 2019, it was discovered that significant damage existed to the hull grid system. Location: New Bedford, MA.

89’ CASTAGNOLA MY 2001

It is reported this 89’ Castagnola has been little used and the approximate 1,500 engine hours attests to that. The primary attention that this yacht needs is: exterior refit, hull needs to be painted and joint/seam needs some work.

There are some fairing cracks and the interior veneer needs some minor attention in the stateroom and head.

Location: Cleveland, OH.

53’ NAVIGATOR CLASSIC 1997

In 2018, this great-looking yacht took on water at the dock after the generator sea strainer failed due to freezing temps. The vessel appears structurally sound. Water levels flooded the forward cabin and engine compartment. The engines and generator have not been pickled or serviced.

She will need cosmetic repairs to the interior, wiring, and mechanical work. This is a great hull to work with and worth the effort to refurbish. Location: Wanchese, NC.
