Ingredients 20 live Florida clams, rinsed 3 teaspoons olive oil 2 large Florida tomatoes, diced 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped small 1 cup vegetable broth 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs, toasted 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, chopped fine 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated 1 pound linguini pasta, cooked (8 ounces raw pasta = 1 pound cooked) 1/2 lemon, juiced 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped 2 heaping tablespoons Cortez Bottarga, shaved (or more to taste) Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions: Preheat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the preheated pan. Carefully add the diced tomatoes and garlic to the pan. Cook tomatoes and garlic for 2 minutes. Season the tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper. Add the vegetable broth and whole clams to the tomato mixture. While the clams are cooking, combine the toasted panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a small mixing bowl. Stir bread crumb mixture to combine. Cook the clams until they start to open, adding the cooked pasta to the pan when the clams are ready. Lightly toss ingredients to combine. Add lemon juice and the basil to the clam pasta. Taste sauce and adjust seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. The clams should all be open and ready to serve; discard unopened clams. To serve, place an even amount of pasta in each bowl.

Nestle the clams around the pasta. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the pasta. Drizzle the breadcrumb

mixture over the clams and garnish with the Cortez Bottarga.

Experience the All New Pursuit S 428 Sport

W

hen it came to creating the flagship of our centerconsole Sport Series, we decided to make it iconic.

The size, power and amenities built into the brand new S 428, deem it the epitome of a legend—with the ability to fish, cruise and entertain in unrivaled style and comfort.

Remarkably, not only is the S 428 the largest Pursuit we’ve ever built, it’s also the most powerful and the most spacious. Quad Yamaha 425 XTO engines work in perfect unison, becoming the driving force behind your adventures. With the largest aft cockpit in its class, you can haul in record-breaking catch through either of its hull side doors.

Within this grand footprint, you’ll find an abundance of rod holders, three fishboxes, ample tackle storage and bait prep areas, plus extra-large fridge and freezer boxes. There’s even an industry-first second row of powered, convertible seats under the oversized hardtop. Because there isn’t anyone who won’t be begging to tag along for the day.

When it’s time to entertain, your crew will have plenty of social zones to choose from, whether it’s our multi-function forward lounge seating or the plush aft-facing seat. A spacious and tastefully designed cabin features plenty of light and great views, thanks to the innovative cabin and hull side windows.

The hardest part? Trying to decide what to do first. The S 428 is brimming with amenities so you and your family really can do it all. Whether that’s swimming up to the electro-hydraulic hull-side beach platform, fishing from the generous cockpit or getting ready to grill in the well-appointed entertainment center, every detail was designed to go beyond your wildest expectations.

POWERFUL. SLEEK. GRAND. This is the stuff of legends.

New Model, Aquila 54, Nominated as Multihull of the Year

C

LEARWATER, FL (January 25, 2021) – Even before the global debut, the new Aquila 54 Yacht Power Catamaran has been nominated as a finalist for the Multihull of the Year in the Multipower category by Multihulls World. Voting is open to the public and will take place online until April 5, 2021: https://bit.ly/2XUaF3F. “We are thrilled that new Aquila 54 is nominated for this very impressive award,” said Alain Raas, Aquila Brand Manager. “We are thankful for all of the support we have received from our team, customers, and dealers to receive this nomination.”

Lex Raas, President of Aquila product development, comments, “The Aquila 54 Yacht Power Catamaran breaks new boundaries, bow to stern, on a boat of this size. Integrated hull bulbs, optional fully enclosed flybridge, Portuguese bridge, choice of four different layouts with a modern finish, comfort, and space only found on significantly bigger boats and all while providing the attributes that Aquila has become known for globally.”

Called MULTIHULL OF THE YEAR, this award is presented based on results from those who visit the Multihulls World website and vote to elect their favorite catamaran or trimaran. The aim is to offer real recognition to the boats selected as the best new multihulls launched on the market.

For this fourth edition, for 2020-2021, the nominated multihulls have been selected by a Jury consisting of journalists at Multihulls World and the International Multihull Boat Show organizers. Four categories have been defined: Under 45 feet, 45 to 55 feet, Over 55 feet, and Multipowers. To vote, visit www.multihulloftheyear. com before April 5, 2021. The results are announced during the International Multihull Show at La Grande Motte on April 9.

DiscoverBoating 10 Most Affordable Pontoon Boats

P

ontoon boats are known for being the ultimate on-water party machines, but in truth they’re that and a whole lot more. In many ways pontoon boats are also the ultimate in luxury afloat, they’re the ideal day-cruisers, they make excellent watersports platforms, and pontoon can even make the grade as fishing boats. There is, however, always the question of affordability to consider.

Just what makes a pontoon boat affordable? That depends on your own personal financial situation. So let’s look at this from the perspective of the average American household, which has an annual income of a bit above $60,000 and a typical entertainment budget of about $3,200 a year (2017 numbers according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the latest data available).

Since we all know that nothing is half as fun as messing around on a boat, let’s apply that monthly entertainment expense of about $266 to your pontooning options. It will get you a $30,000 boat loan with a seven-percent interest rate (that you can likely beat if you have good credit), at a 15-year term with no money down (you can use our Boat Loan Calculator, to figure out the exact payment amounts on different loan amounts and down payments).

Using that monthly expenditure as a ceiling, all 10 of these pontoon boats count as affordable.

The S 188 SL has an 8’0” beam and a hull weight of just 1,663 pounds, so it’s easily trailered, too. And construction perks include under-deck spray deflectors, extruded splash guards, and solid rounded keels. To learn more, visit: https://www.benningtonmarine. com/en-us/

norm, with an aft forward-facing couch, helm and passenger’s pedestal seats, and a pair of forward loungers. So despite this boat’s relatively small size, all eight passengers still have a comfy spot to plop down. Visit https:// www.cypresscaypontoons.com/ to learn more.

2. Berkshire 20CL LE If you’re not too worried about top speed you can opt for a bigger, better boat than average and get a relatively small powerplant, like a Berkshire 20CL LE rigged with a 25hp Suzuki outboard. That includes plenty of goodies, including the premium vinyl package, a Bimini top and boot, a Kicker KMC45 stereo system, and a mooring cover. And with the Berkshire, you can customize the boat’s interior and exterior color schemes so it looks exactly how you like it.

What sets this boat head and shoulders above the crowd, however, is construction.

The 20 CL LE features the same honeycomb composite deck as Berkshire’s much more expensive models, and they also fit out the 20CL LE with stainless-steel pieces and parts (cleats, rail bracings, cupholders, telescopic boarding ladder, etc.), which is normally something seen only on higherpriced pontoons or models that have been upgraded for saltwater use. Visit https:// berkshirepontoon.com/ to learn more.

4. Suncatcher Select 18F Anglers will be interested in pontoons like the Suncatcher Select 18F by G3 Boats, which can be had under our budgetary bar with a 70 horsepower Yamaha F70 but comes with an array of features for both fishing and fun.

The stern fishing platform includes a builtin livewell, a pair of rodholders, and vertical racks for four rods; there are vertical racks for six more rods and reels in the bow; fishing seats are on swiveling pedestals; and the boat’s pre-wired for a bow-mounted electric trolling motor which can be added on as an option without pushing price out of our range.

Visit https://www.suncatcherpontoon.com/ to learn more.

1. Bennington S 188 SL The Bennington S 188 SL can be had with the maximum 60 horsepower outboard and still leaves about $4,500 in the budget to add other accessories and upgrades. Not that you’ll need to spend it, because in stock form the boat has oodles of comfy seating (an L-shaped lounger aft, a sofa to starboard, another double-wide seat in the port bow, and a helm chair) wrapped in two-tone Simtex vinyl; woven vinyl flooring; a 10’ Bimini top; and a Kicker KMC45 stereo system.

3. Cypress Cay C 171 Cruise You’d rather have a smaller boat that’s loaded to the gills with every conceivable option and accessory, as opposed to a larger one with less glitz and glam? Then it’s time to check out the Cypress Cay C 171, which sits under the $18,000 mark with a 50 horse Mercury FourStroke on the transom. That leaves plenty of room in the budget to check off the box for each and every option.

The C 171 Cruise also offers a seating arrangement that’s a bit different from the

5. Lowe Ultra 200 Cruise Watersports fans, the Lowe Ultra 200 Cruise will be of serious interest to you. You can step into this roomy 21’4” long boat and race across the reservoir with 115 horses on the transom, keeping price down in the $24,000 range. That leaves more than enough money left over for the optional ski tow arch plus a set of wakeboards, water skis, and a tow rope.

And already included in the package you’ll be getting an aft swim platform with a fourstep reboarding ladder, seating for 10 people, and a Bimini top. Tell the kids to hang on tight—this is going to be fun. Visit https:// www.loweboats.com/ to learn more.

6. Manitou 20 Aurora LE Getting the Manitou 20 Aurora LE with a 40-horse outboard will put the purchase price

www.TheMariner.com

right at our affordability mark, but it will also get you a pontoon boat with some high-end features that generally show up only on much more expensive boats. Look at the helm, and you’ll discover a digital display rather than those old analog dials.

Try sitting in the seat, and you’ll discover an uber-comfy high-back chair. Flip up one of the couch bases, and you’ll discover single-piece bases with drain channels around the edges of the stowage compartments. There’s also a fishing-friendly version, the Aurora LE Angler, which runs in a very similar price range. Visit https://www.manitoupontoonboats.com/ to learn more.

7. Misty Harbor Viaggio Del Mar U Although Misty Harbor lists pricing for the Viaggio line without power (that’s left to the dealer) at a hair over $21,000 for an 18-footer there’s plenty of cha-ching left over for an outboard up into the 50 or 60 horsepower range.

And this pontoon boat has a stand-out feature that many affordable pontoons lack: four full-sized lounger seats. Most models this size utilize an L-shaped lounge aft with a walkthrough to one side. But the Del Mar U instead has a pair of facing J-shaped loungers with a walkthrough in the middle, both in the bow and in the stern, plus helm and passenger’s chairs. Visit https:// mistyharborboats.com/ to learn more.

8. Pond King Champ With its $3,199 MSRP, the Pond King Champ is the undisputed champion of affordability. Clamp on an electric motor or up to a 3.5-horsepower outboard, and you’ll be ready to start prowling the pond for bass and crappie. This 10-footer has room for two, a weight capacity of 650 pounds, a deck beam of 4’7”, and a six-inch kick rail.

There’s a slew of extras you can add ranging from cupholders to a duck blind,

and considering how inexpensive this minipontoon is, you could add each and every one and never spend even half of the allotted budget. Visit https://pondking.com/ to learn more.

9. Princecraft BrioE 17 If you live on or near a lake that doesn’t allow gasoline motors or if you just want to have the lowest carbon footprint around, the Princecraft BrioE 17 belongs on your short list.

Powered by a Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 2,000 watt electric outboard (comparable to a five-horse gasoline engine), speeds will be mellow and cruising range will be limited, but boating doesn’t get any greener than this.

Base price is a hair over $13,000 but add in $8,000 to get the pair of 24-volt solar panels.

Beyond the power system the BrioE 17 is more or less like any other “normal” pontoon, with a pair of large couches on the port side and a smaller set plus a helm station with driver’s seat, to starboard. Visit https://www. princecraft .com/us/en/products/PontoonBoats.aspx to learn more.

10. Sun Tracker Party Barge 20 DLX Pontooners who like to hit the lake one day and then head for the bay the next will want to check out the Sun Tracker Party Barge 20 DLX, which can be had in a complete boat-motortrailer package for a couple thousand dollars under our max. That gets you a 90 horse Mercury FourStroke, too, so this boat won’t be a slouch and you can expect to run at speeds nearing 30 MPH. The trailer is a tandem-axel rig with brakes and a forward boarding ladder. Seating includes a couch/couch/L-lounger layout plus the helm chair, with added comfort provided by 26-ounce upholstery over multidensity foam padding. Unique Perk Alert: The Party Barge 20 DLX has a wheelchairaccessible access gate. Visit https://www. suntrackerboats.com/ to learn more.

TowBoatUS Boat-Towing Captains from Del., Fla., and N.C. Honored for Lifesaving Acts

S

PRINGFIELD, Va., January 20, 2021 – Last year, more than 70,000 recreational boaters requested routine on-water assistance for soft ungroundings, jump-starts, fuel delivery or to tow their disabled vessels home. For the responding captains of the nationwide TowBoatUS 24/7 on-water towing service, however, their service to America’s boaters was far from routine. Nine TowBoatUS captains who acted as good Samaritans to save lives in 2020 were recently honored by their peers at a ceremony held today, virtually, at the annual BoatUS Towing Conference.

The captains serve TowBoatUS on-water towing locations in Fort Lauderdale and Tampa Bay, Florida; Bethany Beach, Delaware; and Beaufort, North Carolina.

Woody Pollak Lifesaving Award • Capt. Harrison Reiter and Capt. George Bassett, TowBoatUS Fort Lauderdale, Florida: When an elderly couple inadvertently hit full throttle in their small inflatable boat causing it to crash and dump both occupants into the water, captains Reiter and Bassett responded.

As the unmanned boat dangerously circled its former occupants, Capt. Bassett maneuvered the towing vessel into the small boat’s path and activated the engine kill switch. However, attempts to lift the female from the water onto a dock were foiled as her pant leg had been snagged by the inflatable’s propeller, leaving her head underwater and lungs filling with water. As Capt. Bassett held the woman from above allowing periodic breaths, Capt. Reiter dove under the inflatable and cut the woman’s pant leg from the inflatable boat’s prop, allowing her to surface and saving her from a certain drowning. After spending a night in the hospital, the woman was released with a clean bill of health.

(L to R) Captains Harrison Reiter and George Bassett of TowBoatUS Fort Lauderdale received the coveted Woody Pollak Lifesaving Award for their good Samaritan rescue.

Meritorious Service Awards • Capt. Ed Jazwierski, TowBoatUS Tampa Bay, Florida: On the afternoon of July 17, a 24-foot fishing vessel, 15 miles offshore with three anglers aboard, requested emergency assistance. Five-to 6-foot seas with heavy rain and low visibility slowed Capt. Jazwierski’s progress, but he soon located the overturned vessel, anchored, without a soul in sight.

By tossing floating objects into the water to establish drift, “Capt. Jaz” quickly set up a search pattern and soon located the boat’s three occupants who were wearing life jackets and clutching a cooler in the rough seas. All returned home safe.

• Capt. Matt Ostrem, TowBoatUS Tampa Bay, Florida: A mayday call coming from a 19foot vessel with six persons aboard set Capt.

Matt Ostrem into action. Without concern for the rough seas, he headed out and was able to quickly locate the partially submerged vessel. However, heavy rains lowered visibility, and he could not see any occupants. After a brief search, he found all in the water wearing

THE Florida MARINER #926 / 14 February 2021

life jackets and quickly brought them aboard making a safe return.

• Capt. Daimin Barth, TowBoatUS Tampa Bay, Florida: While towing another vessel down a river channel, Capt. Barth heard a voice calling for help: “Help! Hey, hey, Captain!”

On his starboard side, he found a young man in the water frantically waving his arms in distress. With his customer still in tow, Capt.

Barth was able to maneuver his response vessel to the distressed man and safely pull him aboard. The young man had made a bet with his friends that he could swim the length of the channel, but instead the current had been taking him to sea, exhausted and without a life jacket. Other passing vessels had not noticed the man seeking rescue.

• Capt. Richard Walls Jr., TowBoatUS Indian River, Delaware: After a long day, Capt.

Walls pulled into home port when he heard a woman’s distressed voice asking, “Anybody out there who can help me?” He immediately headed back out to find the source of the voice. With the help of another good Samaritan, he soon located the woman and a man who appeared to be in cardiac arrest on a nearby island. Unable to move him, Capt.

Walls administered CPR, even after U.S. Coast Guard responders arrived. Unfortunately the man passed, however, Capt. Walls provided the victim with the best chance of survivability.

• Capt. Cody Garner, TowBoatUS Beaufort, North Carolina: On Friday, November 14, a vessel was reported overturned with two persons in the water. Capt. Garner immediately launched and arrived at the location within 15 minutes where he found not two but three persons in the water. After notifying the U.S. Coast Guard, he quickly retrieved all victims, who had no injuries, and safely transported them back to shore to

thankful family members.

• Capt. Crockett Henderson, TowBoatUS Beaufort, North Carolina: Capt. Henderson was towing a disabled vessel on the Intracoastal Waterway near a bridge span when a tug and barge approached from the opposite direction.

Once the vessels safety passed, Capt.

Henderson turned his head to see the tug and barge run over a pontoon boat anchored just outside the channel. The pontoon’s two occupants popped up in the tug’s wake. Capt.

Henderson immediately directed his customer to anchor, dropped his tow and raced over to two people – one unconscious – in the water.

With the help of another good Samaritan, the unconscious person was brought aboard and CPR administered. While the person later died from injuries, the other pontoon boat occupant survived.

• Capt. Steve Reuss, TowBoatUS Fort Lauderdale, Florida: A five-man crew was aboard a 34-foot vessel fishing 20 miles offshore when the weather started to change.

As conditions deteriorated, they pulled anchor and headed to shore but things quickly worsened, with wind gusts to 50 knots and 8-foot-high, closely spaced waves. As water piled up in the open boat, the owner made a mayday call and had all passengers don life jackets before ordering them to abandon ship.

Smartly, he had grabbed a handheld VHF radio before going in the water. Responding, Capt.

Reuss quickly headed into the worsening sea state and with help of TowBoatUS Fort Lauderdale dispatch was able to use his onboard radio direction finder and the strength of the man’s VHF radio communications to locate the anglers in the water. With additional good Samaritan assistance provided by another towing company arriving on scene, all five were rescued without injury.

Enjoy Better Footing with Alternative to Snap-In Carpet

B

oat flooring, carpet and decking takes a lot of abuse from boaters, as water, food and dirt can work their way into nooks and crannies. Diligent cleaning takes care of most of it, but after time the original marine carpet simply gets worn out.

MarineMat, produced at the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Oldsmar, Fla., is an effective replacement for snap-in marine carpet and other types of flooring and decking installed by the OEM. “MarineMat’s Snap-It-Series mats are going to change the way people think about boat decks,” said John Salvatore, president of MarineMat. “Never before has there been a marine flooring product that is so comfortable, great looking and easy to maintain. We do not know why anyone would put carpet in the cockpit of a boat again.”

A better solution MarineMat takes on the harshest of marine environments while offering superior comfort and durability over other decking solutions. With a large variety of textures, colors and designs on the market, combined with quick and easy installation, MarineMat is a good decking replacement product for any type boat, ranging from megayachts to runabouts to sailboats.

MarineMat is made of closed-cell EVA foam that is extremely stain, mold and mildew

materials.

In addition, MarineMat’s design team works closely with the boat owner to create a dramatic, one-of-a-kind look for the deck.

Snap-It-Series or Stick-It-Series MarineMat can be installed on boats with either the Stick-It-Series utilizing 3M PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) or the SnapItSeries, using stainless-steel snaps that won’t rust. The Stick-It-Series installs easily and forms a tight bond to the deck so water and other debris can’t get in. The Snap-It-Series allows users to remove it for easy cleaning, and is the only removable foam decking in the marine industry.

Both the Stick-It-Series and Snap-It-Series from MarineMat come with a three-year limited warranty.

resistant while staying soft and comfortable to stand on. Formulated for the harsh marine environment, MarineMat is impervious to saltwater, bird droppings and other organic

Quality construction MarineMat’s closed-cell EVA foam is UV stable and won’t fade in direct sunlight. A wide variety of colors and textures are available, with brush, dimpled and solid patterns available.

In addition, custom logos and patterns can be designed into the MarineMat material.

MarineMat stays cooler than other decking surfaces in direct sunlight, and the large EVA sheet size allows for fewer seams and great

design options.

For anglers and divers, MarineMat offers a shock-absorbing cushion, making it more comfortable when fishing for long periods of time, while also reducing noise when a piece of tackle or hardware is dropped on the deck. It’s easy to clean using a pressure washer or strong hose, and won’t get stinky or moldy when wet.

Whether wet or dry, MarineMat offers excellent traction for safety and comfort when moving around the boat. For sunbathers the suppleness of MarineMat is a welcome feeling compared to the harshness of gelcoat or nonskid.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Sergio Atanes Fishing for Tampa Bay Brutes Black Drum (Pogonias Cromis) - Black drum are like the redfish in shape but are distinguishable by their color and barbells or feeders on the underside of the lower jaw. Smaller drum in the 6 to 8-pound range are usually as tasty as redfish.

Black drum start to migrate towards the bridges of Tampa Bay and the many artificial reefs after their spawning ritual is completed. The big brutes are now ready to eat and populate our waters and show local anglers a great fishing time.

Black drum are known for their ability to produce a “croaking” or “drumming” sound.They also produce a high intensity sounds that are associate with spawning.

Habitat: Inshore fish common to bays, river mouths, oyster beds and bridge pilings.

The older and bigger fish prefer saltier water and tend to migrate into the Gulf of Mexico. Young tend to live inshore around structure.

Size: Reported up to 70 inches. Black drum mature at 4-years old and can live 40-years or more weight over 100-poundsin Gulf coast waters. Atlantic coast they can reach 60-years and weight close to 120-pounds.

Appearance: Juveniles have vertical bars on sides often mistaken for sheepshead. Large scales and powerful teeth used to crush oysters and shellfish.

Black drum make a great sport for kids and adults. Excellent table fare in the 14-to-24-inch range and considered some of the best seafood around.

March: Is the kickoff month for these brutes as they work their way into Tampa Bay for their spawning ritual. Weather plays an important rule some years they are in by midFebruary on the average

March seems to be my best time to land the big ones.

When: Early March I start fishing the sand bar in front of Pinellas Point this seems to be their stopping area to spawn before they work their way into upper Tampa Bay. Late March, April, May, June are my peak times to fish under the bridges or oyster bars.

On a good day you can spot the fish on the sand bar and as you can see on the attached picture, they cover the bottom of the boat. The clear white sandy bottom makes them stand out and easy to find.

They will move into deeper water along the sand bar later in the month and you will need your depth finder or a tower boat to spot them.

April through September: Under bridges or around oyster bars. Bridge fishing offers the best of both worlds, keeping you cool under the shade of the bridge during the day and nighttime dry when those late evening showers come by to wet things a little.

How To: Sand Bar Fishing: First find the fish second use the correct rig. I like to use a jig head anywhere from 3/8 oz to ½ oz depending on the depth of the water.

Live shrimp hook from the tail and work slowly through the school. Drifting with the motor turned off not to spook the school. Once hooked use the trolling motor if needed to hold you spot until the fish is landed.

Bridge Fishing: Here you have two options. One live shrimp on a ½ oz banana jig dropping it along side of the pilings working it with a slow up and down movement no more than several feet from the bottom this will give you a chance both pompano

with Captain Rick Grassett Trout and redfish should be good shallow water options this month. You may also find trout along with blues, Spanish mackerel, pompano and flounder on deep grass flats. Look for sheepshead, flounder, reds and more around docks. Catch and release night snook fishing around lighted docks in the ICW may be a good option if it’s not too cold. Spanish and king mackerel and cobia may show up in the coastal gulf by the end of the month.

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/.

Since snook are temperature sensitive, I won’t target them following strong fronts when water temperatures dip below 60 degrees. However, I have had some great night trips catching and releasing snook on flies in the ICW at night this time of year. Since larger baitfish aren’t that plentiful this time of year, snook will gorge themselves on glass minnows and shrimp. Small white flies, like my Grassett Snook Minnow, DOA Shrimp (3’ or the newer 2-3/4”), DOA Tiny TerrorEyz or CAL Jigs with shad tails and jerk worms will all work well.

You may also find snook in rivers, creeks or canals this month. Fishing may be good in these areas on a blustery day when it isn’t fit to fish anywhere else. I like wider profile flies and lures in these areas due to the baitfish that may be found there. Fly anglers should score with wide profile baitfish patterns, such as Lefty’s Deceiver, fished on a sink tip fly line. Spin anglers should do well with CAL jigs and 4” swim baits and jerk worms, DOA Baitbusters or suspending plugs. Fish the deep spots, usually on

20

outside bends, for the best action.

You might find reds in potholes or along the edges of bars and shallow flats when the tide is low. As the tide rises, they will feed higher on shallow flats, particularly on sunny afternoons. I like 1/16-ounce CAL jigs with shad tails or jerk worms for reds in shallow water. If it is too shallow or grassy to fish an exposed hook, a Mustad or Owner weedless hook will allow you to fish plastic baits in these areas. Fly anglers should score with lightly weighted flies, like Clousers or my Grassett Flats Minnow, with weed guards on floating lines with 10’-12’ leaders. You may also find big trout in skinny water in the same places you find reds.

The same lures, flies and techniques that you use to target reds will work for big trout in those areas.

I release all over slot trout since they are usually females and I feel that they are important to the health of our trout fishery.

You’ll find trout on deep grass flats. I like flats that have a good mix of grass and sand and good tidal flow. Flats that are close to passes are often good choices since water temperatures may be warmer there. Following fronts, silted up water will cover deep grass flats close to passes, often affecting fishing in those areas. Other good grass flats may be on points or around bars. I like to drift and cast ahead of my drift with CAL jigs and a variety of plastic tails, DOA Deadly Combos or weighted flies on sink tip fly lines to locate trout.

Once you’ve located them you can shorten your drift or anchor on them.

In addition to trout, you may also find blues, Spanish mackerel, flounder or pompano, depending on water temperature and conditions, on deep grass flats. The technique to find them is the same as for trout, although there may be other clues. Pompano may “skip” on the surface when you drift or run past them giving their presence away. When that happens, set up a drift upwind of where you saw a pompano and cast ahead of your drift. Blues and Spanish mackerel may force bait out of the water or feed on the surface. You may need to

West Central Florida Southwest Coast and black drum.

Second choice a 3/0 circle hook with ½ oz knocker rig heavier if needed to keep the bait on the bottom. Fresh blue crab either in half or quarter according to the size of the crab.

Oyster Bars and Channel Fishing: I find most of the wondering black drum in 2 to 4-foot of water after their spawn. I will use a 2/0 Circle hook with a medium to large live shrimp free lined. I cast ahead of the school and use a slow retrieve; these fish are normally feeding so put food in front of them does the trick. One thing I have found is the like clean water.

Key Things To Remember: • Shrimp and Blue Crabs are top of their list for food.

• Use circler hooks let them hook themselves.

• The like structure and moving water.

• Primarily bottom feeders.

Tackle: Sand bar and Channel fishing.

Southwest Florida add heavy fluorocarbon or wire when blues and mackerel are mixed with trout on deep grass flats.

Fishing docks is another good option this time of year, especially when the tide is low. You might find reds, sheepshead or flounder under docks.

I like docks that are deep (3’ or more) and have a good tidal flow. Fish the end of long piers to find the deepest water. Also, look for big boats moored on docks or on boat lifts, which is also an indication of deeper water. Older docks with lots of barnacle and oyster growth usually hold more baitfish and predators. I like CAL jigs with shad tails, grubs or jerk worms or weighted flies fished on sink tip fly lines when fishing docks. Be sure to let your jig or fly get down close to the bottom.

There may be some action in the coastal gulf by the end of the month with Spanish mackerel and cobia. When the water warms to the high 60’s to low 70’s, these fish will move into our area from the south as they migrate north. Look for Spanish mackerel on the surface or in passes.

Cobia may be swimming on the surface, around buoys, channel markers and crab trap floats or over structure. Tripletail may also be an option during warm ups in the coastal gulf.

February can be a tough month to fish.

With frequent fronts and cool water, fish aren’t always in an eating mood. If you’re able to pick good tides combined with favorable weather conditions, you should be successful. If you don’t have that luxury, you might do better by sleeping in and fishing later in the day when it’s warmer.

Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by agricultural, industrial and residential runoff, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

Captain’sCorner with Captain Tom Van Horn February’s Fishing Forecast As winter seasons go here in Central Florida, we certainly cannot complain about the cards dealt to us thus far. Except for a few frosty mornings, gorgeous fishing condition has prevailed, and we’ve experienced so good fishing as well.

Offshore, kingfish have been thick along the inshore reefs and wrecks, and they will remain there if the water temperature stays above 68 degrees. When targeting kingfish this month focus your efforts on the areas of 8A Reef, Pelican Flats, and Bethel Shoals to the south for best results. Look for cobia on the inshore wrecks like the Carol Lee, Dutch, and Sub Wreck out of Port Canaveral. Additionally, live bait is tough to find this time of year, so always carry a box of frozen Spanish sardines with you as backup.

Near-shore look for

with Captain Chris Johnson It’s been a long wait, but we’re finally experiencing a winter with relatively normal temperatures, thus providing some excellent fishing. During March, we expect some of our wintertime visitors to begin packing up to head back up north. But, they don’t leave hungry! They always eat their way out of the Keys.

In the Atlantic waters, we have plenty of pelagics, including blackfin tuna, kingfish, some big cobia and a smattering of sailfish intermingled. In the Gulf and Florida Bay venues, we’ve seen some of the best fishing in ten years, with loads of Florida pompano, cobia and large kings.

Goliath groupers and sharks keep the game interesting.

On the deep side of the reef in 150 to 250 feet of water, there are good numbers of blackfin tuna in the 10- to 20-pound class plus king mackerel and a more common occurrence of dolphin as well as sailfish. Live baits are key with live pilchards providing the most consistent action. Live ballyhoo, if you can find them, also work well. Cigar minnows and sardines will also put fish in the box.

On the flats, water levels are fallen in accord with our normal February conditions. These low water levels typically force redfish, black drum, and sea trout into the deeper pockets on the flats where the water temperature is a degree or two warmer. On colder days, falling water temperatures force most fish to seek deeper locations in search the warmest water they can find, and they become very sluggish.

As the sun warms the water, all it takes is a degree or two of change, and the fish will begin to move and feed in the shallows. On the sunny mornings, it is not uncommon to find redfish and trout holding in the deeper pockets within the shallow flats where water temperatures raise faster.

Additionally, warming water temperatures combined with sunny

spring days make February one of the best months to sight fish for redfish, large sea trout, and black drum on the lagoon flats. For larger sea trout, fish at first light, sunset, or at night with natural baits, and target areas where mangrove edges, docks, and other structure are adjacent to deep water dredge holes, sloughs, or canals.

These same areas will also hold concentrations of small trout which can be caught throughout the day on small jigs and shrimp imitation baits like DOA Shrimp fished very slowly along the bottom.

Moving inshore to the wrecks, March is typically very good for mutton snappers, kingfish and very large amberjacks.

The amberjacks are beginning their spawn this month, and

it’s now that we catch some of the biggest ones of the year. Fish in the 60- to 80-pound class are not unusual, with plenty of 20- to 40-pounders to wear you out.

The best baits to attract the attention of the AJs are bluerunners, grunts and large pilchards. Jigging also produces excellent results.

For the muttons and kings, live pinfish, pilchards or ballyhoo all work, fished down near the bottom.

On the reef, the yellowtail action picks up tempo at this point in the spring.

With the warming waters, the fish become more active and need to feed more, which makes it a bit easier to coerce them into taking your bait.

Using plenty of chum is important.

SnapperUp or Mojo Oats will bring them in right behind your boat.

All you need for successful yellowtail catching are 15-lb fluoro leaders and small hooks, such as the Owner #4 Mutu Light hooks we use.

The reef edge will have good numbers of king and cero mackerel.

And, of course, plenty of grouper that must be released as the season is closed until May 1.

In Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, there are loads of cobia,

www.TheMariner.com

Central Florida tripletail concentrations to improve greatly along the Port Canaveral buoy line and under floating weeds and structures, and for cobia to move in shadowing manta rays if the surface water temperatures reach the upper sixties. Now is also the time for shore anglers to target pompano, bluefish, weakfish, small black drum, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel and whiting in the surf and larger redfish and flounder around the inlets and jetties.

Finally, windy days in February are a great time to check out those freshwater fishing holes on the St Johns River. Currently good catches of American shad, speckled perch, warmouth perch, and largemouth bass are being reported. The shad run has been slow this year with more fish being caught south of Hwy 50.

Remember when planning a fishing trip in February, keep a close eye on the weather, and fish whenever you have a chance.

Central Florida Captain Tom Van Horn Mosquito Coast Fishing Charters 407-416-1187 www.irl-fishing.com mosquitocoast@cfl.rr.com

Marathon/FloridaKeys Keys Marathon/Florida large king mackerel, Spanish mackerel and mangrove snappers.

Pinfish is the go-to bait for all but the kings, which love small bluerunners fished either under a balloon or, preferably, hanging from a kite. We use #7 wire, as these kings are quite large and can bite through smaller wire. For everything else in the bay and gulf, it’s all about pinfish on a jighead.

You’ll most likely catch some Goliath grouper. Be sure to release them quickly and unharmed as they are protected.

March is a good time of year to target sharks around the flats and banks. It’s primarily blacktips, spinners, bulls and a few hammerheads to start but, as we get toward the end of the month and the waters warm up, we begin to see more lemons.

Any kind of fresh dead bait or live bait works, such as jacks, bluerunners, ladyfish and the like. Be sure to use circle hooks. We always use Owner 9/0 SSW circles for fishing for all shark species, with #7 to #8 wire and 20-lb class tackle rounding out your setup.
