ort Lauderdale, Florida’s Pier Sixty-Six Hotel and Marina is synonymous with the yachting lifestyle.

Owner Tavistock Development Company has begun a major transformation of the property, starting with a new state-of-the-art SF Marina floating concrete superyacht dock for its Pier South location.

As visiting superyachts became ever larger over the years, the existing fixed dock located south of the 17th Street Bridge became problematic. Its curved design limited the size of vessel that could tie-up. Plus, it was quite narrow, making serving the boats difficult.

For the first phase of the Pier South renovation, Ebsary Foundation Company installed 440’ of SF Marina Type 2060 floating pontoons. Their 20’ width and 36” freeboard easily accommodate superyachts up to 350’ on the main berth. The structure is secured with 30” diameter steel piles within HDPE sleeves, offset to enable two-way golf cart traffic on the dock. Other superyacht-oriented features include a double row of composite timber rub rails and oversized 15- and 25-ton ship bollards.

Megan Lagasse, marine director for Pier Sixty-Six Hotel and Marina. “Owners and captains of large vessels are beyond thrilled to sit on 300’ of floating dock; they just don’t get that opportunity often.”

Pier Sixty-Six Hotel and Marina annually hosts the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. While both its Pier North and Pier South marinas continue to welcome boaters, the former hotel site is being redeveloped with a new and enhanced building, though preserving its iconic tower. New condominiums are being added, as well as a marina promenade with shops, offices and restaurants. Information on the revitalization is at www.info-piersixtysix.com.

Manufactured in Sweden, the dock sections for Pier South were transported by cargo ship to Port Everglades, Florida. A video of the pontoons being offloaded is at vimeo.com/440448340. With a global network of offices and production locations, no project is too distant for SF Marina.

Engineered by Moffatt & Nichol, the Pier South dock has an advanced set of integrated utilities. Superyacht power needs are met with 1,200A power pedestals.

Guests can enjoy CCTV and Wi-Fi. In-deck, high-flow waste pump out and potable water locations offer convenience, as does the diesel fuel transfer system.

Fire hydrants provide security. Above the water, LED lighting lines both sides of the dock while underwater fixtures illuminate the perimeter.

“We have had great feedback from everyone,” said

Cobalt Introduces the Sport-Friendly R6 Surf

Featuring advanced watersports features and a high level of luxury, comfort, style and performance, the new R6 Surf combines Cobalt quality with an exciting new wakesurfing capability.

N

EODESHA, Kan., Dec. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raising the standards of watersports convenience and excitement, Cobalt Boats has introduced the all-new R6 Surf sterndrive, delivering the experience of a world-class wave along with the quality, styling, amenities and performance that have made Cobalt the standard in day boats. Incorporating a revolutionary hull design and Cobalt’s new hydraulic Surf Gate™ technology, the 25’ 9” R6 Surf is an innovative way for Cobalt owners to enjoy their favorite water activities, from wake surfing and wakeboarding to watching the waves, in unequaled comfort.

Featuring an all-new hull design with an advanced, integrated surf technology system, the sleek R6 Surf is built for excitement, riding higher in the water with a smaller wetted area, while maintaining exceptional stability and ride comfort.

Designed specifically to accommodate the new Cobalt Surf Gate System, the R6 Surf is equipped with six hard tanks that provide up to 2,300 lbs. of ballast, generating clean, manageable waves on either the left or right side of the stern, with consistent, predictable excellence and the safety that comes from Cobalt’s standard forward-facing propellers. Owners need only to press three buttons on the soft-touch, backlit ‘Set ’n’ Surf’ control panel to enjoy their favorite watersports activities, from wake surfing to wakeboarding.

Also a superb family boat, the R6 Surf accommodates up to 14 passengers with plenty of room for people and gear. At the helm, a comfortable captain’s chair with optional electric adjustment faces a Garmin glass cockpit with either dual 7-in. or 10-in. Garmin touchscreen displays complemented by such useful options as hidden backlit LED switches, a rear-view camera and XM weather. The long list of standard equipment includes a 6-speaker Bluetooth-compatible AM/ FM/stereo sound system with an iPod/USB/MP3 port; user-programmable LED interior lighting; a full beam-wide swim platform with Cobalt’s patented Swim Step; durable double-needle stitched upholstery throughout; a large porcelain head; dedicated in-floor bow and cockpit storage areas; and 21 strategically placed cupholders.

Among the many options are audio upgrades with up to 14 speakers, customizable hull graphic areas, multiple interior flooring choices and color options, ‘Fresco Chil’ upholstery to reduce temperatures by as much as 20° on dark surfaces, a dash-mounted mobile phone cradle with wireless charging, a high-dock entry step, a Prisma electric folding arch with RGB accent lighting, convenient board rack options, and both fore and aft adjustable shade sails. There’s even a new electric version of Cobalt’s innovative flip-up swim step.

What is an EPIRB and PLB: How Do They Work?

E mergency position indicating radio beacons, commonly called EPIRBs, and their smaller siblings personal locator beacons (PLBs), are life-saving devices that can greatly increase the level of boating safety you enjoy while out on the water.

These devices send out an SOS via satellite communications at the flip of a switch, and inform search-and-rescue personnel of your position from virtually anywhere on Earth. Every year hundreds of lives are saved thanks to the use of EPIRBs and PLBs. What is the Difference Between an EPIRB and a PLB? The biggest difference between these two devices is that EPIRBs are registered to a boat while PLBs are designed for use by an individual. EPIRBs are mounted on the boat itself, while PLBs are usually worn on a PFD or carried in a pocket or “ditch bag” (a bag of emergency gear you can grab in a hurry).

Category I EPIRBs are designed to automatically release from their mounted position and activate when they become submerged, while Category II EPIRBs may be hard-mounted or carried in a bag and are released and activated manually. EPIRBs are larger than PLBs, usually have more battery life (they’re required to have a minimum of 48 hours of activation time versus 24 hours for PLBs), and they always have a strobe light built in, while PLBs may or may not have a strobe light.

In the past, the search and rescue personnel would have had a general location and homing in on the exact location of the beacon could take hours, as opposed to minutes. Today, however, modern EPIRB and PLB models generally have internal GPS (sometimes people call them “GPIRBs”). This allows them to transmit their exact location when activated, radically reducing the searchtime. In fact, many mariners are fond of saying that a modern GPS-equipped EPIRB or PLB takes the “search” out of “search and rescue.”

By law, all locator beacons are registered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Once registered the beacon’s unique 15-digit identification code is then associated with either your boat or you personally, so if it ever gets triggered and begins transmitting its signal the authorities immediately know who you are, the size and type of boat the unit may be associated with, and additional information such as your port of call and emergency contacts.

Where Can I Get an EPIRB? Although these devices must be registered to a boat or a person, boaters who may be taking a long or unusual cruise who want to boost their safety margin can rent an EPIRB of PLB. The BoatUS Foundation has an EPIRB rental

program just for this purpose. The beacons you rent are registered to the Foundation, and when renting one you’ll provide your vessel type, itinerary, and other pertinent information. If a unit gets triggered, the BoatUS Foundation immediately passes this information on to the US Coast Guard.

These rentals are extremely reasonable ($10 a day or $65 a week for an EPIRB or $7 a day or $45 a week for a PLB). However, the truth is that EPIRBs and PLBs are very affordable in the first place.

An average GPS-enabled Category II EPIRB unit costs in the $500 to $700 range, while an average PLB with GPS functionality costs around $300 to $400.

Considering how much these units enhance your safety at sea, most boaters would surely agree that getting a modern EPIRB or PLB is well worth the investment.

How Does an EPIRB Work?

1. When a locator beacon is activated it transmits an SOS message on the 406 MHz frequency (which is reserved for emergency distress communications) to the Cospas-Sarsat international search and rescue satellite constellation, and other geostationary satellites.

2. The distress signal is then relayed to a network of ground stations and the U. S. Mission Control Center (USMCC) in Suitland, MD. 3. Once alerted, the USMCC alerts the appropriate local or national authorities to initiate a search and rescue mission.

4. Commonly, the very first thing the authorities will do is attempt to contact the beacon owner and/or his or her emergency contacts to make sure that it hasn’t been triggered accidentally, but assuming it hasn’t, rescuers can initiate a response within minutes.

Mercury Earns Tenth Consecutive Green Masters Designation

F

OND DU LAC, Wis. (Dec. 8, 2020) — For the tenth consecutive year, Mercury Marine® has earned a Green Masters designation from the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council (WSBC). The council presented the award today during its two‑day annual conference, which is an online event this year. As it has done in the previous nine years, Mercury achieved a score within the top 20% of all applicants to earn the designation.

The Green Masters Program measures companies on a broad range of sustainability categories ranging from energy and water conservation to waste management, community outreach, and education.

In addition, companies are evaluated in the contexts of transportation, supply chain, workforce, and governance.

“We are honored to earn a Green Masters designation for the tenth

consecutive year. This is especially gratifying considering how the bar is raised every year, making each successive year’s designation an even greater accomplishment,” said Mercury Marine President Chris Drees.

WSBC’s Green Masters Program requires applicants to cite sustainable business practices and initiatives undertaken in the past year, and to show improvement over previous years.

In 2020, Mercury continued to expand its global efforts to improve the energy efficiency and eco‑friendliness of its manufacturing operations.

Initiatives included modernization of HVAC and lighting systems, containment of compressed‑air systems, optimization of power on/off cycles for equipment and facilities, redirection of manufacturing‑generated heat for multiple purposes, and enhancement

of facilities design to include natural lighting and passive heating. The company also expanded its recycling and reuse of materials and water used in manufacturing.

In the past year, the company manufactured engines that have better fuel efficiency and lower emissions than ever before. Thus, with each sale of a new Mercury engine to replace a prior‑generation engine, there is an improvement to the environment.

At the beginning of the year, employees at Mercury’s world headquarters in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, participated in a series of LED lighting fairs, purchasing approximately 8,000 energy‑efficient LED bulbs for their homes.

Collectively, their purchases resulted in an environmental improvement roughly equivalent to removing 76 cars from the road each year.

Shortly after, when the COVID‑19

pandemic struck in the US, Mercury rose to the challenge of engaging employees in sustainable activities while observing protocols to discourage the spread of the virus.

The company provided advice on home‑office sustainability to the large proportion of employees who rapidly shifted their work location to their homes. Mercury also conducted a successful food‑drive and electronics‑recycling event, as well as an Adopt‑A‑Highway cleanup effort, with participants wearing face coverings and maintaining social distance.

Significantly, in 2020 Mercury also initiated plans to expand its commitment to derive more energy from renewable sources, thereby setting the stage for advancements in sustainability in 2021 and beyond.

Captain’sCorner

www.TheMariner.com

with Captain Sergio Atanes Catching Fish in Changing Times Depending on your home base, whether it’s one of the local boat ramps, or one of the marinas located inside Tampa Bay, plays an important part on where to fish.

In the last three years, I have noticed a change in our weather patterns. We have had more windy conditions, therefore, causing many cancelled trips and the need to adjust our fishing techniques to compensate. If the weather allows us to get across the open waters of Tampa Bay, the Apollo Beach Power Plant would be a good location to fish.

Power Plant Fishing Techniques: I have two methods for fishing the power plants. The first method is where I work my way as far up as I can towards the hot water runoff and start a slow drift using a light jig head with live medium shrimp hooked from the tail. Slowly bounce the jig head along the bottom for flounder and sheepshead.The good thing about doing this, is that if you see a manatee, there is a good chance a cobia could be hanging around it. Please be careful not to cast too close to it. Let the cobia come to you and in most cases it will.

The second method is to find a spot where the water tends to swirl and try to anchor. If you are lucky enough to own a trolling motor with a spot lock, use it to keep you stationary.I like to use a #4 split shot about six inches from the hook. A 2/0 circle hook works great. Bite or cut the tail off the shrimp and thread the hook from the bottom up through the back part of the tail.A note of caution.

Make sure the shrimp are of medium size. There are some places that tend to have smaller size medium shrimp. In this case, I recommend moving up to a large shrimp.

Best Times to Fish: My experience for the best time to fish has been from sunrise to 10 am, depending on cloud cover. On cloudy days you can stretch it a couple of extra hours and on bright sunny days, maybe less. Once the sun’s rays start to warm the water, the fish tend to move towards the outer edges of the channel and even into deeper flats to feed and return at sunset.

Several things to take into consideration are water temperature and tides. The lower the water temperature, the better the bite. Combined with low tides you have the perfect ingredients for a successful fishing trip. The low winter tides, due to high pressure systems, force fish into deeper, warmer waters for self-preservation. This will then give the angler the advantage! Think of it as putting in a fishbowl for you to fish.

We have no control on the weather so we must make

the best of it on our days off. Here are some tips on when, where and how to increase your chances of catching fish in windy conditions.

Areas to Explore: Docks: They make the perfect spot to hide from the wind and catch fish. Here is what we have structure, depth, and warmer water. The docks take in the sun’s rays and act as a radiant heater. This increases the water temperature to as much as 3 to 4 degrees higher than the surrounding water.

Sea Walls: The concrete seawallswill act as a heater with the help of the sun.Ever notice how many fish you see swimming along many seawalls during the winter months? It is simple.The water temperature tends to be 2 to 4-degrees warmer, thanks to the rays from the sun heating the concrete and creating a highway of warn water for them to travel through.

Channels: Find the out of the way cuts or small channels used by boaters with grass or rocky edges. As the tide drips with winter negative tide, the fish need to find refuge and warmer water.

Dredge Holes/Bomb Holes: Look for any area that has one of these, whether man made or caused by natural water movement. Fort DeSoto still has many bomb holes from the early 50’s when the area was used as a bombing range. Weedon Island has several nice deep holes if you take the time to look for them.

Rivers/Creeks: Are all good source of warm water during the winter months. The decaying leaves and dark muddy bottom help to increase water temperatures.

Productive Areas During Winter Months: North Part of Tampa Bay: • Double Branch.

• Channel A. • Rocky Creek.

• Allen’s Creek.

• Big Island.

Gandy Bridge South: • Radio Tower north St. Pete side of Gandy Bridge.

• Rocks on south side of St. Pete Side o f Gandy Bridge.

• Under Gandy Bridge look for ruble from t h e construction of the new bridge years ago.

• G e t a w a y

with Captain Dylan Hubbard InshoreSheepshead bite is impressive right now around any local structure! They are biting well in good numbers on a variety of baits but the best bet are those fiddler crabs, or cut clams or oysters but even a small piece of shrimp works well on some light tackle and a small hook. Getting minimal or no weight is best, but you do sometimes need a splitshot or two to keep the bait right against the bridge or dock or pier pilings you are fishing on. The sheepshead will even cruise local seawalls too, and it’s a great time of year to get plenty of them!

The trout action is going well right now too. We are seeing the silver trout around the passes and along the beaches and even the sandy areas around the bridges. The speckeled trout are biting well on the flats and around the dock and bridge lights at night. Slow moving soft plastics or free lined shrimp or white bait are great options for these guys.

The black drum are thick right now along the beaches and local bridges. We are seeing plenty of these guys caught along the surf line of the beach mixed in with whiting, silver trout and the occasional redfish. Plus, lots of bonnet head sharks along the beaches right now too.

Snook action has slowed down to a crawl in the passes but were still catching a few at night around the bridge and dock lights. There are more snook moving up into the bays right now for their winter time stay. Look for them on those dark mud flats adjacent to mangrove or oyster bar areas waiting for bait to venture out of the cover. The flats still have plenty of juvenile snook feeding well too.

Redfish action is going well

22

around the flats, mangrove shore lines, dock lines, oyster bars and even around the passes. Pretty much anywhere you can find a good area there will be some hungry and active redfish. These guys hang right on or along the bottom looking for small live bait, crustaceans, or slow moving soft plastics.

Behind these fronts when the water is more murky the dead cut bait is a great option too.

Flounder love this cooler weather and were seeing some good action on the flounder if you can find those sandy spots on the flats or next to the flats, shorelines or structures.

They hang on the bottom waiting to ambush passing baits that are on or near the bottom.

Mackerel are still pretty heavy around the mouth of the bay, around the passes and along the bridges if there’s bait around. They are also around the deeper edges of the grass flats. Great time to go get you a few fun to catch mackerel before they thin out as the water cools.

Near Shore & Offshore– The hogfish bite right now is super hot! We are seeing these guys from around 30ft up to around 80ft of water. Mostly on live shrimp and lighter tackle, but you can get them on fiddler crabs, sandfleas, and even rock shrimp. Around 20-30lb floro leader and about a 3-4ot hook is best. They are the more timid smart and leadershy fish around so they are one of the last ones to bite on a spot so it takes a lot of patience and practice to get them dialed in. However, once they start to bite typically you have a narrow window of a few more biting too before the bite shuts down and you gotta adjust areas and get them chewing again!

The gag grouper are still fired up and this is your

West Central Florida Southwest Coast Channel (water is always a several degrees warmer due to Power Plant out flow).

• Riviera Bay. • Rocks off Albert Whitted Airport.

Downtown Tampa: • Mouth of Hillsborough River.

• Docks and rocks along Harbor Island.

• 22nd Street bridge McKay Bay. South Shore: • Apollo Power Plant.

• Little Manatee River.

• Cockroach Bay. • Bishops Harbor Artificial Reefs: Believe it or not, some of the big Snook have been caught during the winter months while fishing for Sheepshead and Trout using live shrimp.Three best reefs are Port Tampa, St. Pete in front of the old Million Dollar Pier, Apollo Beach and Port Manatee reefs.

Baits: During spring and summer months, white bait, greenback, crickets whatever you prefer to call them are the best baits. In all my years of fishing Tampa Bay, I have found that live shrimp is the over-all best bait for late fall and winter fishing. I would say December through early March.

Fiddler crabs are second on my list. During the winter months, not only are they a favorite of sheepshead but redfish as well.

Some of the best winter fishing for me is trout, sheepshead and redfish which have no problem chumping down on a free lined live shrimp. Let us not forget nighttime fishing this month for big trout, redfish, and sheepshead under dock lights.

If you would like more information on increasing your catch, please contact Capt. Sergio Atanes for dates on his upcoming Saltwater Fishing School. This is a two-day weekend event with 5-instructors for anglers to learn on when, where and how to catch more fish in Tampa Bay.

West Central Florida last chance to get them before they close at the end of the month. We are seeing them from tampa bay all the way offshore biting well around those ledges, rock piles, bridges and even some docks. The guys in tampa bay are having great catches free lining pinfish over the rock piles adjacent to the shipping channel and skyway. Near shore we are seeing them best around 50-80ft of water. Offshore the big boys are biting around 120ft plus. We saw some 30-40lb gag grouper on our last 39 hour and were going again the Tuesday after Christmas to get some more!

Captain’sCorner with Captain John Kumiski Alafia River State Park Report, more Thank you for reading this Alafia River State Park Report. Did a couple other things, too.

Sunday– tried my luck shad fishing in the St. Johns, launching at CS Lee and fishing around the Econ River mouth.

Cast for three hours.

Monday– Drove to Stuart to fish with Rick DePaiva in the Indian River Lagoon.

Hadn’t seen him since last year! We fished for pompano, and it was s-lo-w. That having been said, I got two pompano on a pompano jig. Also got a bluefish, a redfish, several crevalle jacks, a ladyfish, and a tiny mutton snapper. We worked it hard all day.

How would your boat look with a new Evinrude?

Wednesday through Friday we were at Alafia River State Park in Lithia (Hillsborough County) on a fact-finding mission. I’d never been there nor heard much about it. And really, we went there because I couldn’t get a site at Hillsborough River.

The park sits on

For the first time in several years, we’re experiencing a consistent weather pattern of cold fronts coming every seven to tendays.

This bodes well for our wintertime fisheries.

We’ve had a steady run of sailfish off the reef edge, and there are good numbers of blackfin tuna mixed in where we’re finding the sails.

January gave us some excellent wahoo fishing, which should spill into February with the presence of larger fish in the 30- to 50-pound category that tend to show up in the winter.

Around the wrecks and artificial reefs, there’s been lots of king mackerel action, with fish averaging 10 to 20 pounds and some approaching 40. On or near the same wrecks, you’ll find amberjacks, mutton snappers and big yellowjacks on the bottom.

Live pilchards, ballyhoo and cigar minnows are the prime baits for wreck fishing.

The park’s main claim to fame are the mountain biking trails. They are supposed to be the finest in the southeast. I didn’t bring a bike either, and doubt if I’m healthy enough to ride any more, but the bike trail system is extensive, wellmanaged, and well-maintained. There’s a pro shop there (closed during our visit), a bike washing station, air pumps, and map boards. Trails are marked by skill level, from the turtle track for beginners to two or three double-diamond expert trails.

The Turtle Track is a multi-use trail (the bike trails are dedicated- hikers not allowed). Susan and I walked it, and I carried a spin rod. The ponds we came to, with one exception, had such thick duckweed my shad just sat on top of it. Couldn’t get my lure wet for the duckweed! The no-duckweed pond got a few casts with no response, but access was difficult due to the terrain.

There are hiking trails that also use the old phosphate mining area, with abrupt elevation changes sufficient to get one’s heart pumping fast. We started on one and made it up one hill before turning around. The hiking trails map is

with Captain Chris Johnson

Most of this action has been on live bait, primarily pilchards and cigar minnows. The wahoo respond to goggle eyes or small bluerunners fished down 50 to 80 feet while you’re live-baiting for sails and tunas on top.

“Where Caring is the Key”

an old phosphate mining site. There are phosphate pits full of water there, as well as the Alafia River. The river is small and shallow, but looks like it should hold some bass and bream. We checked it out from a bridge at the park’s south entrance. The only fish we saw, and were hordes of them, were Plecostamus. If I had brought a paddle vessel, I would have explored it. But, didn’t bring a boat.

There’s been loads of action on yellowtail snappers on the reef, but you need to keep your eye on the weather this time of year. Don’t bother yellowtailing just after a cold front. Rather, wait a couple of days for the weather to stabilize and the temps to warm up, which will spur on the yellowtail bite.

Additionally, you don’t want to overfeed the yellowtails during this timeframe as their metabolism is not as fast as it is later in the spring with the warmer water temps. So, be a tad stingy with your chum and Aquatic Nutrition products right now.

Fishing in Hawk Channel has been exemplary this winter.

There have been lots of lane snappers as well as surprisingly good-size yellowtails in the 3- to 15-inch range. Muttons are there too and, although the majority are just shy of keeper size, there are enough 18-plus-inch fish to hold your interest. We’ve even had some beast 10-pounders make their way onto our boats.

For catch-and-release fun, Hawk Channel offers up loads of hogfish and groupers.

Shrimp or small pilchards on a half-ounce jighead work best in Hawk Channel. If you begin to get bit off, put a small shot of #4 wire on and have fun with Spanish and cero mackerel. When the conditions are exactly right, you may catch kings up to 30 pounds.

The sleeper fishing this month is in Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

We’ve recently seen some of the best fishing in these areas in quite some time, with loads of bait, including threadfin herring and ballyhoo, prevalent on the Gulf wrecks plus more ballyhoo around the banks and grassy areas of Florida Bay. These bait fish attract predators of all kinds, but the two most important to us

www.TheMariner.com

Central Florida hopelessly inadequate, unfortunately.

At the park’s north entrance is a phosphate pit you can drag a small boat into. Again, didn’t bring a boat. But it looks delicious…

The campsite was a state park campsiteelectric and water hookup, nice clean bathhouse within easy walking distance.

Most people there are in RVs so tenters or van life folks pretty much have the bathhouse to themselves.

So, the park caters to bicycles, has equestrian, hiking, and fishing available, and is nicely maintained. I’d go back, but I’d bring a kayak with me.

Thank you for reading this Alafia River State Park Report blog!

Life is great and I love life!

Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! or walk on a trail!

Marathon/FloridaKeys Keys Marathon/Florida are king mackerel and cobia.

The kings back here are typically quite large, starting at about 20 pounds and with 50- and 60-pounders not uncommon. Large baits are required to gain their attention. Everything from large threadfin herring and pilchards to bluerunnersand blue fish in the two-pound class make excellent baits for large kings. Put one of these baits on a kite and get ready for some high-flying king mackerel action.

Bigger baits require a two-hook rig, which we custom-make according to the size of the bait fish.

Cobias have been around in good numbers this winter, and these guys are a tad easier to catch than the kings. Just about any live bait will capture their attention, but pinfish are prime.

You’ll also find Goliath grouper of all sizes in the same areas as well as mangrove and lane snappers. For the snappers, use small live baits, such as pilchards, small pinfish or fresh shrimp as well as chunks of ballyhoo or pinfish. Fish the bait on or near the bottom with a knocker rig or 3/8- to half-ounce jighead.

Round out your Florida Bay fishing with Spanish mackerel for the smoker. Small bucktails or jig heads tipped with fresh shrimp is work best.

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 mutually-convenient 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.

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) 4698895, 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!
