NewBoats Marquis Yachts Adds Outboards to the M42 Series

www.TheMariner.com

P

ULASKI, WI (September 30, 2020) – Almost a year ago to the day, Marquis Yachts re-launched the Marquis brand and introduced the world to the M42. Now they have added the triple outboard powered M42 for the buyers that want to seize the day. The outboard powered M42, in fact, is actually the standard power configuration for this model, and the inboards introduced a year ago are an option.

To leverage the tooling already used in building the inboard M42, Donald Blount

& Associates worked with Marquis Yachts engineers to create a tool that extended the running surface and incorporated the platform to bracket the triple Mercury outboards making this boat not only look like it moving at rest, but really jumps when you put the throttle down. ”The M42 OB is a blast to drive.

It turns on a dime, a rocket ship at wide open throttle, and the ride is extremely comfortable and stable,” said Josh Delforge, Vice President of Design & Engineering at Marquis Yachts.

The M42 OB has all of the same features and accommodations of it’s paternal twin – large aft sunbed, expansive cockpit with U-shaped seating, entertainment wet bar and large helm that easily accommodates up to two 16” Raymarine displays.

Down below features an easy use galley, forward seating that converts to a berth and the coup de gras

About Marquis: Marquis is more than a boat. It’s a reflection of a life limitless. It’s a clear extension of the owner’s attitude as they Carpe the diem out of every experience without compromise. Our 3V philosophy or Veni (I came), Vidi (I saw) Vici (I conquered) is an approach that every Marquis owner and stakeholder brings to everything they go after because they understand that fortune favors the bold and to the victor go the spoils…

a large head featuring a standup shower stall.

With the outboard configuration of the M42, the owner gains a large aft storage area in lieu of where the Cummins inboard power would be located.

This storage area, perfect for folding bikes, inflatable paddle boards, or playful water toys is accessed via an electrical actuated hatched.

“We are excited to add the Outboard version to the M42. The boat looks absolutely stunning, performs like a thoroughbred with the standard Merc 400 Verados and has all the requirements needed for an incredible, complete day on the water and when desired, overnight,” stated Marquis Yachts President & CEO, Rob Parmentier.

OUTHOLD, N.Y., Sept.

24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Social distancing has become a top priority in 2020 and as a result many people have taken to the water to do so naturally. The boating industry saw record numbers throughout the summer season; from sales and on-water traffic to the need for on-water assistance. Boating is up and new boaters have been flooding the market like never before.

Sea Tow® Sees 34% Increase in Requests for Assistance

Sea Tow Venice Florida 2020 Sea Tow Services International – the leading provider of on-water assistance for boaters nationwide – found that from Memorial Day Week to Labor Day weekend, requests for on-water assistance increased by 34% compared to the same timeframe in 2019.

The top five services Sea Tow provided included: - Towing (58%) - Ungroundings (9%) - Jump starts (8%) - Fuel Delivery (8%) - Dock-to-dock tows (8%)

While the number of requests has increased, the type of services has remained the same when compared year-over-year. “We’re still providing the same types of services, we’re just doing a lot more of them this summer,” said Sea Tow President, Kristen Frohnhoefer. “In fact, our captains helped over 60,000 people who were out boating this summer season.”

“We’re closing out one of our busiest seasons on record and trends post-Labor Day are showing that as long as the weather stays nice, boating and the need for onwater assistance is showing no sign of slowing down.”

Job reports also showed that member services comprised of 60% of all Sea Tow requests for service, non-member services comprised 36%, and salvage and recovery 4%.

“We continue to prioritize servicing our members, but the numbers show we assisted a good number of other boaters as well,” said Frohnhoefer.

No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutuallyconvenient time. It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat.

After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker. Call 727-898-1324 to find an inspector or go to www.cgaux.org/vsc/.

FLORIDA BOATER’S ID CARD- Don’t forget that “Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 is required to either have successfully completed a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating education course or have

passed a course equivalency or temporary certificate examination and have in their possession a boating education ID card and a photo identification card before operating a vessel with a motor of 10 HP or more in Florida.” Identification cards for persons completing the course or the equivalency exam are good for a lifetime. Temporary Certificate exams are made available to the public through contractors. The temporary certificate is valid for 12 months from the issue date. Boating Skills and Seamanship Programs are presented by the U.S.C.G. Auxiliary, Flotilla 72 each Tuesday night, 7:309:30pm, 1300 Beach Dr. SE, St. Petersburg.

Call 727-898-1324 for information or visit www.tampabaysafeboating.com “HOW TO USE GPS” - NEWEST ONLINE COURSE FROM THE BOATUS FOUNDATION - WWW.BOATUS.ORG/GPS - If you’ve ever wondered about all of the features and functions on your boat’s GPS or chartplotter, this is your chance to learn by taking the newest online course from the BoatUS and the US Power Squadrons, How to Use GPS. Available for a $30 course fee at www.

BoatUS.org/gps, the course makes learning easy as it can be taken anytime – at home, office, or the boat – and course takers to stop and return as their busy schedules permit. The course works well with any brand of marine GPS or chartplotter.

MARINE ENVIRONMENT AND ALCOHOL CLEARWATER - Most people are not aware of the very real, life threatening dangers associated with consuming alcohol and boating. Add boating stressors to those usual factors resulting from drinking alcohol, and a truly perilous condition is present. Drinking alcohol produces certain physiological responses that directly affect safety and well-being. Judgement and skills deteriorate, affecting peripheral vision, balance, and ability to process information.

Physical performance and reaction time are reduced. Alcohol reduces depth perception, night vision, focus, and the ability to distinguish colors, especially red and green.

Alcohol consumption can result in inner ear disturbance, which can make it impossible for a person suddenly immersed in water to distinguish up from down. Alcohol creates a sense of warmth and may prevent a person in cold water from getting out before hypothermia sets in. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary offers the acclaimed boating safety course, About Boating Safely. Classes begin the second weekend of every month.

Please contact Leslie Long, Clearwater 11-1 Flotilla Commander at (727) 469-8895, auxboatingclass@gmail.com SARASOTA FLOTILLA 82 OF THE USCG AUXILIARY Florida law requires that any person born on or after Jan. 1, 1988, may not operate a vessel powered by a motor of 10 horsepower or greater unless such person has in his or her possession, aboard the vessel, photographic identification, a Florida boater safety identification card (or any other state’s boating card), and the registration for their vessel. Regarding the above law, which has been in effect for over a year, Flotilla 82 of the USCG Auxiliary, based in Sarasota, Florida (at Mote Marine) offers a 1-day course held on the last Saturday of each month. It starts at 9:00 am and completes at 5:00 pm. The course includes the USCG exam which, if passed, results in a Florida lifetime boating card/license. The cost for materials is $40 for the first member of a family and $10 each per additional family member. For more information, please call C. William Myers, Public Education, Flotilla 82, at 941-388-1033. Mention you saw this announcement in the Florida Mariner, and receive 20% off!

T. Michael Jackson 1956-2020

Eulogy for T. Michael Jackson

By Diane Jackson Over Michael’s 30 year career with The Florida Mariner Magazine, the Marine Industry has evolved and grown. Through it all Michael managed to maintain his unique style of client relations. To him they weren’t just clients, they were friends. His family looked forward to helping him make his yearly Christmas stockings filled with treats, healthy snacks, vitamin C and holiday cheer! We know it was his absolute pleasure to deliver them every year. With ‘Thank You!’ as his tagline, he was always sure to remind everyone how thankful he was to serve their advertising needs. He was a master at bringing the right people together at the right time; Always willing to cheer us on as we pushed the envelope or gave it our best. A good listener when needed, but quick to launch into why you can’t let this get you down, and great advice on how to look at this experience as an opportunity to grow.

If Michael said it once, he said it a dozen times, “I am not coming to your funeral, so we better spend time together while we’re still wiggling!” Let’s keep that mantra in mind, and try to be present with each other every chance we get.

He didn’t give up, but had to let go. His newest catch phrase was Love it Go®. His body couldn’t sustain the damage the cancer brought. He lived life to its fullest. And we know he is on the greatest adventure of all. His wife, Diane, and daughters Ariel, Kia and son-in-law Shaun may host a celebration of life to be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Jackson Family Fund at https://ever-loved.com/life-of/thomas-michael-jackson.

The Marine Industry in Florida lost a great friend

By John & Kyle Good, SWFMIA Mike Jackson, a longtime icon with The Florida Mariner passed away Tuesday, 9/29 after a battle against cancer that, as was so typical of Mike, he fought with cheerful optimism.

There are few people in this industry that touched as many lives as Mike Jackson. Sure, he was a great salesman and tirelessly represented The Mariner with integrity and enthusiasm. But he was so much more. A self-appointed goodwill ambassador to boating and the boating business he seemed to be everywhere, always with a smile and always going that extra mile to take care of his customers and always promoting our industry. The boat show scene will never be the same without Mike being on hand as boating’s cheerleader.

We will never forget Mike’s contribution to the growth of this association. He led the charge in pushing SWFMIA to expand its reach into the Tampa Bay area. It was no easy challenge, but Mike believed passionately in the need to create a unified voice for the industry and was not afraid to let his feelings be known. “My friendship with Mike goes back many years and many beers,” said John Good.

“But I will never forget Mike’s help in our association’s expansion over the last several years. He was my sounding board and an invaluable source of encouragement. He played no small part in our success that has culminated with our name change to The Marine Industries Association of Southwest Florida and Tampa Bay. I’m gonna miss that boy!!”

THE Florida MARINER #917 / 11 October 2020

Tributes: Mike has been our FM rep since the early days in the 80s. It was always a pleasure to see Mike in the office or at the show. He early on knew my preference for “brown water” and for years handed me those JD nips at the shows, as a thank you for our business. I’m going to find one and raise a toast to Mike’s memory this weekend.

RIP Mike. ~ Mark J. Reder, Yacht Registry

One word describes Mike Jackson and that is passionate! He was eager to improve our business, and serve the marine industry. He pushed us to become better, and during these challenging times, he remained positive and would state “When we work together, we not only survive, we THRIVE!” We thank Mike for his long time service with The Florida Mariner, as well as his friendship, and we’re grateful for his passion and his light. It was truly Mike’s pleasure to work with everyone, and he would always say “THANK YOU for the opportunity to serve your advertising needs.”

Cheers Mike! May you, Papa Don & Beau share many stories while enjoying fine drinks!

- Cristina and Michael Jones, The Florida Mariner.

So sad to hear about Michael’s passing. He was a passionate person. The last several years I knew and worked with him I could see what a kind and giving heart he had. Heart and prayers to his family and people who knew him.

Sincerly, Barb & Joe Kirk, former Mariner employees.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Mike. He was definitely a ball of energy in the office and his charm, enthusiasm and smile is unforgettable and so are his catchy phrases. “Theoretically” this is good bye for now Mike – you were a wonderful human!

Stacey Fulgieri – former Mariner employee.

I’ll miss Mike. Every boat show he came to on the East coast, he always brought rum and we had fun together!

Fielding Dickey, sales representative, The Florida Mariner We at Molly’s Marine Service so appreciated his kind spirit. Blessings, Renee Newman Sorry for your loss, we always talked about going to the Cape Cod Fish Company for a Lobster wrap - I feel bad we never made it.

Always a nice person – all about the marine industry. He’ll be missed. ~ George Winn, President, Boater’s Landing

What always comes to my mind when thinking of Michael is him answering his phone saying “How may I serve you?” and when he was not pleased with the outcome of whatever he was trying to finagle he would say “That’s not acceptable.” And always, the way he hastily breezed into the office, like a whirlwind, did his business and was gone, whoosh!!! Oh! And the wonderful Christmas stockings full of goodies that we would get every Christmas. Always a treat and always full of surprises. Also the gardenias he used to bring in that smelled so wonderful and filled the office. God bless, Ruth & Ken Brothwell, former Mariner employees.

The marine industry has lost one of its champions. The unselfish support and commitment Mike had to his fellow mariners, has been a great inspiration and always humbled me.

Sail on my friend! ~ Lee Hicks, General Manager, Maximo Marina and Boatyard.

We are sorry to hear! He will keep his family in our prayers! Capt. Wayne Johnson, All Captains Yacht Sales, LLC

Salud Mike Jackson! May there be plenty of fine tequila in Heaven; I’ll join you for a drink when I get there. You will be missed my Friend, Tim Livingston, Offshore Performance Specialties, Inc. I am sorry to hear of Mikes passing.

Dan DiLisio, Lowe’s Marine Sales inc.

We are so sad to hear this news. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and to Mike’s family.

He was a great man. Always cheerful and happy to see us! Please give Diane our sympathies...

Sincerely, LeAnna, Edwards Yacht Sales.

We at Gulf Coast Marine send our condolences to Mike and his family, we are so very sorry to hear of his passing. Regards, Gulf Coast Marine.

We are sorry for your loss. Mike Jackson was a great guy who was committed to the financial health of The Mariner as well as the entire marine industry & always supportive of everyone he came in contact with. He will be personally & professionally missed by all of us. Fair winds & following seas, Team Messina, Professional Yacht Sales International.

I am shocked and so very sorry to hear this sad news. Sarah Nicolosi, Ross Yacht Sales I am so sorry for our loss of Mike. He was an asset to your publication and a leader in our industry. I did wonder why he did not visit in the last several months and this was a shock.

There are many good words to describe Mike but the thing I will always remember about him are the Christmas stockings he brought each year.

Page Obenshain, St. Petersburg Yacht Sales & Service, LLC.

We all would meet for a drink and discuss the best pictures for our ads. Mike was a great guy!

Loved life! Loved his family and his friends. He will be truly missed by all. RIP my friend! ~ Chris Pilini, Nio Yacht Group Mike was a great guy and will truly be missed. Please accept my sincere condolences and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Rest in Peace Mike and “Thank you!”

11 October 2020 / THE Florida MARINER #917

Captain’sCorner with Captain Rick Grassett Fishing should turn on this month.

Schools of reds will begin to break up and scatter on shallow flats. There should also be good action with snook and big trout in shallow water. Snook will gorge themselves at night around lighted docks in the ICW. There should also be good action in the coastal gulf with Spanish mackerel, false albacore (little tunny), tripletail and cobia. You might also still find tarpon anywhere from upper Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay to along the beaches.

Snook, reds and spotted seatrout remain closed to harvest on the west coast of Florida. The Florida FWC has extended a temporary modification of regulations for reds, snook and trout, in the areas affected by the recent red tide. The area extends from Pasco County, south to the south bank of Gordon Pass in Collier County. Reds, snook and trout are catch and release only in that zone until May 31, 2021.

Full details including exact boundaries can be found at https://myfwc.com/ news/all-news/extended-cnr-220/.

Snook will move from passes and the surf as water temperature cools and days get shorter. They will stage around docks and bridges in the ICW and along sand bars, potholes and along mangrove shorelines. They may blow up on top water plugs or fly poppers in shallow water early or late in the day. CAL jigs with shad tails and jerk worms or DOA Shrimp should work well around docks and bridges and on shallow flats. The 4” CAL shad tail should work very well on the flats since larger baits will be prevalent there. I like larger flies, like Lefty’s Deceiver and my Grassett Flats Bunny, for snook on the flats for the same reason. Fly anglers should also score with small white flies or Gurglers around lighted docks and bridge fenders. Fish peak tidal flows for the best action.

Tarpon will still be an option this month. I find them in upper Charlotte Harbor this time of year. Look for them feeding in ladyfish schools or rolling in deep water to find them. DOA Baitbusters and Swimming Mullet are my top producing lures for large tarpon. Fly anglers should score with many of the same flies that work for sight casting to them along the beaches. I use 12-wt fly tackle with a floating or clear intermediate sink tip line for large tarpon.

You’ll also find juvenile tarpon from 10 to 30-pounds in many creeks and canals. Spin anglers should score with DOA Shrimp or TerrorEyz on snook tackle. Fly anglers

18

can handle the smaller fish on 8 or 9-wt fly rods with sink tip fly lines and a scaled down version of any fly that large tarpon will eat. I’ve also found tarpon feeding in the coastal gulf in October. They are usually scattered over a broad area, feeding in bait schools. This “reverse migration” may only last for a short while but it can be really good!

Big schools of reds that are more common in August and September will break up into smaller schools, singles and doubles by the end of the month.

As water cools and baitfish school up, reds will feed in shallow water. I like to pole my flats skiff to hunt for reds in shallow water. Focus on baitfish or mullet schools to find reds. CAL jigs with shad tails, including the 4” CAL shad tail and DOA Baitbusters are some of my favorite lures to locate reds with. If the tide is very low, weedlessrigged CAL shad tails or DOA Shrimp rigged backwards will work well in the thick turtle grass. Once I’ve located fish, wading is often the best way to approach them when fly fishing. I like a long leader (12’) on a floating fly line with a lightly weighted fly with a weed guard, like my Grassett Flats Minnow.

When you have good sunlight, you may be able to sight fish them on light colored bottom, like sandbars or potholes.

You’ll also find big trout in many of the same areas in shallow water. I would approach locating big trout the same way as reds. Focus on baitfish or mullet schools to find them and use the same lures and flies to catch them. Some of the best action that I’ve experienced with big trout was at first light with big trout feeding in baitfish schools in very shallow water.

THE Florida MARINER #917 / 11 October 2020

WestSouthwest Central Florida Coast You’ll find trout of all sizes on deep grass flats. Wherever there are small trout, there may be a few “gators” around since big trout will eat small ones. Mixed with trout there should also be blues, Spanish mackerel or pompano. In addition to focusing on bait and birds, I like to drift and cast ahead of the drift with CAL jigs and shad tails or DOA Deadly Combos or a lightly weighted fly on a sink tip fly line to find fish. When toothy fish are around add 6”of heavy fluorocarbon (60-lb) or wire to prevent cut offs.

You may find tripletail or cobia around buoys, crab trap floats or channel markers in inside waters or the coastal gulf. A DOA Shrimp or CAL jig with a shad tail will work well for tripletail.

Fly anglers should score with lightly weighted flies with a weed guard. A DOA Baitbuster or 4” CAL shad on 20 to 30-pound class spinning tackle or a wide profile tarpon fly on a minimum of 9-weight fly tackle will get the job done with cobia.

Look for Spanish and king mackerel or false albacore in the coastal gulf. I look for diving terns or “breaking” fish to find them. Once you’ve located feeding fish, a CAL jig with a shad tail or jerk worm or a size specific top water plug will work well for spin anglers. Fly anglers should score with small olive, chartreuse or white flies, poppers and Crease flies.Southwest You’ll need wire or heavy Coast fluorocarbon when mackerel are in the mix. You may also find a few kings around the edges of feeding frenzies.

I don’t usually target kings, but I will catch a few when fishing breaking mackerel or albies. You can also look for tripletail or cobia around crab trap floats, buoys or channel markers while searching for mackerel or albies in the coastal gulf.

October is one of my favorite months.

It’s nice to do something different, so I like to fish the coastal gulf for mackerel, false albacore, tripletail and cobia when conditions are good.

There should also be good action on shallow flats with reds, trout and snook or tarpon of all sizes in upper Charlotte Harbor. Night snook fishing in the ICW heats up as the water cools down. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by agricultural, industrial and residential runoff and discharges, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

The fall bait migration is in full swing on Florida’s central east coast with good concentrations of migrating baitfish working south down the beach and through the lagoon exciting both gamefish and angler alike.

Triggered by shorter days, cooling water temperatures, and approaching cold fronts, pockets of mullet stream down the beach harassed by hungry predators. As the bait works its way south in the troughs of the surf, bluefish, ladyfish, jacks, Spanish mackerel, redfish and snook keep them hemmed up close along the surfs edge, with tarpon, blacktip and spinner sharks lurking in the waves eager to fulfill their position at the top of the food chain.

As the baitfish move out the inlets on the

Once the water temperatures near the 68-degree mark southern and gulf flounder moving through the inlets usually follow the first major cold front. It is difficult to predict the precise moment of the run, but serious flounder pounders know when the moment is right, and they’re often rewarded with doormats from 8 to 14 pounds.

In the deeper water, both tripletail and cobia move into the depths of 40 to 60 feet of water shadowing pods of threadfin herring (greenies) and Spanish sardines (cigar minnows) pushing south along the Canaveral shoals, often hanging just below the abundant flotsam carried inshore by the easterly breezes. Once you locate weeds and other debris, look for tripletail to be hanging just below the floating structure.

Live shrimp and small jigs tipped with shrimp work well when targeting these brim on steroids. It helps to fish later in

with Captain David Ide Schools are open - Schools of Mahi Mahi, that is!

Even though families are starting to hit the books, we at Lady Pamela Sportfishing continue to hit the schools…of Mahi Mahi and other offshore species!

We remain open for business and the entire Lady Pamela Sportfishing Team is in full compliance with all CDC and local health guidelines to do our part to keep everyone healthy.

The Lady Pamela Sportfishing Fleet is putting our clients on all sorts of offshore species such as Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Kingfish, Tunas, Amberjacks, Barrcuda, Sharks and a bunch of Snapper and Grouper species!

NOW is the time to book your Fall fishing trip so that we can get you on the bite to take advantage of the fall bait migrations that make Fort Lauderdale the epicenter of Fall sportfishing excitement!

MORE AND MORE MAHI MAHI Mahi Mahi schools continue to be found from 200 feet of water all the way out to 2,000 feet of water and beyond. Our clients continue to catch Mahi Mahi from 10 to 25 pounds on both live bait in close and trolling bonito strips and rigged ballyhoo out beyond the reef. The smaller “schoolies” are among the acres of seaweed for great light tackle action. There are still larger specimens traveling in smaller groups or even just bull/cow pairs.

“Where Caring is the Key”

falling tide, breeder redfish, tarpon and snook, take advantage of the easy meal as the fleeing mullet are forced away from the shelter of the shoreline. Additionally, October and November are the best months to target snook at Sebastian Inlet if water temperatures stay above 70 degrees.

DAYTIME SWORDFISH TRIPS The Fall is when Fort Lauderdale offshore waters are known to boast some of the best Swordfishing in the world.

Our Lady Pamela Sportfishing Specialty Daytime Swordfish trips are catching Swordfish on nearly every time out!

Central Florida the day keeping the afternoon sun to your back to improve your range of sight, and always keep a medium heavy rod rigged with a one ounce chartreuse or white buck tail jig ready to throw to any cruising cobia.

Also, look for the fall kingfish run to commence as well as an occasional sailfish or black fin tuna on the nearshore reefs and wrecks like 8A and Pelican Flats.

In the lagoons, breeder schools of redfish are in deeper water through the north IRL. These schools of oversized redfish are our brood stock, so if you target them please step up your tackle size (20-pound test) and handle and release them with extreme care. In addition, schools of pompano will begin forming up and moving thought the inlets invading the beach in search of mole crabs (sand fleas) their favorite winter food.

As always if you have any questions or need information please contact me.

Good luck and good fishing.

Marathon/Florida Keys Southeast Coast Blacktips and Silky Sharks.

WAHOO TOO! Just like last month, the Wahoo bite has been steady between the full moons! We’ve been catching Wahoo in 150 to 500 feet of water fishing a mix if live baits and trolled mullet strips or bonito strips either on a downrigger or planer to get the baits down in the water column.

THE SAILFISH NEVER LEFT TOWN The Sailfish bite has remained steady all Summer and their numbers will only grow with the fall bait migrations. Even NFL players can’t stay away from this fantastic offshore action!

BARRACUDA AND KINGFISH CHOMPING AWAY Kingfish and Barracuda are continue to be found from 75 to 200 feet of water and are pouncing on our live baits or trolled strip baits and feathers. There are also other mackerel species in between 40 and 80 feet of water, including Spanish Mackerel and Ceros.

Kings and Cudas are beautiful, acrobatic fish that are “tackle busters” and make you earn every yard of line that you gain on the reel. This action will only get better as we get deeper into the fall season.

FOOTBALL SEASON: TUNAS AND BONITOS Blackfin Tunas and Bonitos continue to wallop our live baits and our trolled trolled feathers and strips.

The Blackfins are in the 5-25 pound range and the Bonitos are nearly as large.

COME GET YOUR SHARK ON Shark fishing is great and will only get better as thousands of sharks folow the migrating baitfish to South Florida. We are starting or even ending our trips by targeting big sharks such as Hammerheads, Tiger Sharks,

The best shark baits continue to be either a live Bonito or dead Bonito or Kingfish dropped down in 300 feet of water.

AMBERJACKS ON THE WRECKS Our clients are also battling huge Amberjacks on the wrecks using jigs and live baits sent down onto their “front porch.”

TARPON TIME! This is the time of year when you need to book your Tarpon trip as soon as possible. During the Fall bait runs, our Tarpon trips fill up fast!

DRIFT FISHING REPORT: FILLING UP THE FREEZER On the Lois Ann, our daily trips – 3 each day – are producing Kingfish, Tuna, Bonito, Triggerfish and a host of Snapper and Grouper. Our nighttime trips have been producing huge numbers of Yellowtail Snappers. Keep in mind that the Lois Ann is limited to a certain number of anglers per trip due to CDC guidelines. This is great news for YOU as you have plenty of room to fish multiple lines! Book a trip NOW to get in on this amazing action after the sun goes down.

That’s the report for now. Come join us to get in on the rest of this amazing action! Remember: Getting outdoors is the best way to stay healthy…and to keep your sanity.

Besides the changes near shore and offshore we are still seeing a good red grouper bite around 80-140ft of water.

They are mixed in with some nice lane snapper, vermillions and the occasional nice mangrove snapper. Great way to target them is bigger piece of cut dead threadfin and around 6-7ot hooks or even squid strips. Captain Dylan Hubbard, HubbardsMarina.com
