Voting Begins March 31, 2021 in 3rd Annual “Best Harbor in the Us” Contest
R
ockland, ME — US Harbors, a free online resource for boaters and coastal communities, announced today voting begins on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 for the 3rd annual “Best Harbor in the US” contest at www.usharbors .com/best-harbor/. Participation is free and open to everyone, including the over 8 million people who use US Harbors (usharbors. com) for their coastal and marine weather, tides charts and harbor-local boating and fishing information. The purpose of the contest is to promote the strength and vitality of coastal communities. Past winning harbors have been those whose residents have strong communication networks and are passionate about where they live and work. These kinds of networks are vital in supporting the resilience of coastal communities as they face the impacts of climate change and other events. Voting for this year’s Best Harbor contest is open from March 31 through May 31, 2021. Participation is limited to one vote per user. People can vote on any of the 1,400 harbors that US Harbors provides coastal weather and tides for; from Maine to Hawaii, Florida to Alaska, and the Great Lakes. The winning harbors will be announced on Friday, June 4, 2021, and the top four harbors will receive special plaques commemorating their win. Additionally, US Harbors throws a special event for the overall winner, including gifts for their community. In past years, over 100,000 people from around the
country have participated in the annual contest: they have voted online, shared photos and stories of their harbors and most importantly they have spread the word in their local communities to get others to join them. Previous Best Harbor winners have included Padanaram, Massachusetts (2019) and Depoe Bay, Oregon (2021). For more information on US Harbors, please visit www.usharbors.com ABOUT US HABORS
US Harbors is a media and data company in Rockland, Maine specializing in “tides, weather, & local knowledge™” for people who enjoy our coasts.

The company’s primary website, https://usharbors. com, has been helping people make good decisions about their time on and near the water since 2009. Over 8M people use the site annually, with interests in boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, and other activities on or near the water. As well as providing tide and weather data, the site has a continuously updated news feed, covering a wide variety of marine and coastal topics. US Harbors runs the annual “Best Harbor in the US” contest – a crowdsourced online event to determine the best harbors in the country, as well as national Harbormaster Appreciation Day (https://www.harbormasterday.com) – celebrated annually on October 8th to recognize the stewards of our harbors and ports. The mission of the company is to promote the sustainability and resilience of coastal communities, both economically and environmentally.
DiscoverBoating 5 Best Boat Warming Gifts for New Boat Owners
Y
our friend or family member finally did it— bought the boat of his/her dreams. They beam like a proud parent while admiring that boat on the dock. They glow brighter than the stars when he/she shows you all the photos of his new boat—and when they asks you to watch all the videos (for the second and third time). Who can blame them for this unbridled display of complete joy? Becoming a new boat owner is like becoming a new car owner, only better. For most people, a car is a necessity of life. A boat is all about having fun— it’s an ultimate grown-up toy. Want to add to the fun for the new boat owner in your life? Give them a gift that will make their time on the boat even more enjoyable. Here’s a look at five great boat warming gifts for new boat owners. 1. Personalized Beach Towels Sure, beach towels are great for going to the beach. But they’re also great for drying off after taking a dive off the swim platform, and they can serve as makeshift, wraparound protection against wind or sun. That makes them a perfect gift for new boat owners. And why not have the beach towels look as cool as they possible can look? Everyone from Bed Bath & Beyond to Lands’ End makes beach towels that can be personalized with the name of the person, the name of the family or the name of the boat. (The name of the boat is probably the coolest option, but to each his own.)
Pro Tip: When giving personalized beach towels as a gift to a new boat owner, find out what color the boat’s exterior and interior are, and get the towels in a complementary color scheme. Some boat owners are like sports fans. They have their favorite “team colors” and want to fly them proudly. 2. Boat Shoes A cool-looking, comfortable-wearing, sturdily built pair of boat shoes is one of the most prized possessions in every boat owner’s life. And since the 1930s, the brand name Sperry has been synonymous with exactly those types of shoes. While there’s plenty of different brands to choose from, Sperry Top-Siders were the first boat shoes ever to hit the market. Today, the company makes an array of boat shoes for women, men and children alike. There are now multiple styles of boat shoes, from the classic design to versions made with mesh panels for extra airflow around the feet. All the shoes can be purchased with non-marking soles—which are a key feature for keeping the boat pristine. And soles are now made with things like shock-absorption material for all-day comfort. Color combinations also abound, giving each pair its own personality. 3. Personalized Hat (or Captain’s Hat) If there’s one thing that everyone needs out on a boat for the day, it’s a great hat—one that has a wide brim to protect the eyes from the sun, and that won’t go flying off into the water. All kinds of hats
can be personalized with a boat’s name. The standard baseball cap or visor is available at places such as Rush Order Tees and can be embroidered not only with the boat’s name, but also sometimes with a line drawing of the boat itself (that you can often get from the boatbuilder’s website). Rush Order Tees also makes bucket hats, which are great for protecting a boater’s ears against sunburn. The White Invite makes personalized floppy beach hats that can be good on the boat as well as on the sandbar, while 4ImprintUSA makes Booney hats that not only are customizable, but that also have adjustable chin straps great for keeping a hat on while a boat is speeding through the water. 4. Marine Smartwatch or Sailing Watch In 2013, Garmin introduced the quatix, a watch that made boaters drool in much the same way that the first-ever iPhone appealed to the masses. What made the quatix (now in its latest iteration, the quatix 5 so exciting for boaters was that the watch connected wirelessly to a Garmin autopilot at the boat’s helm. That meant whoever was wearing the quatix could steer the boat from his/her wrist. And, if he/she fell overboard, the lost wireless connection would set off an alarm and use the autopilot to try and steer the boat back to get him/ her. It was truly stuff that felt like science fiction less than a decade ago. And today, the technology has advanced even further. The newest quatix also does things like control certain stereos, keep track of the
www.TheMariner.com
wearer’s heart rate, provide sail-racing assistance and more. Regular and stainless-steel versions are available, with swap-out watch straps in a variety of colors as accessories. 5. Chapman’s Piloting & Seamanship This is the book that boaters call “the bible” of knowing what to do out there on the waterways. It is a doorstop-size 920 pages and is now in its 68th printing, boasting decades’ worth of knowledge that skippers have acquired while running boats on lakes, rivers and offshore alike. Chapman’s is filled with photos and diagrams, along with explanatory text, to help boaters at all skill levels understand everything from maritime rules of the road to safety tips and maintenance. There are sections on weather, tides and currents, along with sections on navigation skills, anchoring and more. Really, the beauty of giving Chapman’s as a gift to a new boat owner is not just that he’ll be thrilled to learn about becoming a better skipper, but also that you’ll be a whole lot safer the next time he invites you on board for a cruise.

For Sale: MARLOW’s 49E Hull# O11 “M/Y CRYSTAL” ON DISPLAY - Sarasota Suncoast Boat Show - APRIL 23-25, 2021
Make your Boarding Pass aPPointMent today! by Capt James Fachtmann – CPYB https://jfayacht.com/james-fachtmann/ arlow Yachts, is head quartered in Palmetto, FL and was founded by David Marlow. The first Marlow Explorer was a 65C and made her debut at the 2001 Miami International Boat Show after extensive design work dating back to 1995. Built entirely in China, production is held to top world class standards near Xiamen. This was the first “green” facility of its kind in China which was brought to the world’s attention by the awarding of the prestigious Yachts International Environmental Award to Marlow Yachts Ltd. With only a few Marlow Explorer yachts built per year, each one is built for its owner with extensive owner input. A quick review of Marlow’s history reveals a yacht builder focused on quality, performance, and luxury. Marlow’s motto: Luxury Yachts capable of Ocean Voyages. David Marlow’s philosophy is defined by his endless quest for the best from 49 to 110 feet.
M
Both the Marlow 66E “MY FULL MOON” & the 49E “MY CRYSTAL” are available for immediate sale in St. Petersburg and Sarasota. PRIVATE SHOWINGS will be made available for qualified buyers before and after the show. JFA Yacht & Ship is the exclusive Central Listing Agent for both. SHOWINGS by appointment only on APRIL 23-25. Prospective buyers should request a slot via email to sales@jfayacht.com
The 49 is the smallest and one of the newest of the Marlow Explorer fleet. Debuted in 2013, she now has over 22 sisters around the globe. The 49 Marlow hull is a combination of unique features. Utilizing Full Stack Infusion, whereby the entire structure is infused from the outer Kevlar skin through the inner closed-cell sandwich in a single-shot, vacuum-bagged process. She saves weight while providing a more open interior, greater strength, and increased hull performance. This results in a more easily driven hull capable of higher speeds and lower fuel consumption. Double spray rails at the bow insure a dry deck, as hard chines in the after portion of the hull increase initial and dynamic stability, induce planing, and resist roll. Faired indentations abaft the bow thruster reduce drag, and underwater exhaust exits reduce engine noise. (passagemaker.com - “Refined Simplicity” BILL JACOBS SEP 18, 2017)
Hull # 11 - Interview with “M/Y Crystal’s Captain/Owner”
2019 MARLOW 49E HULL # 011 “MY CRYSTAL” CUSTOM DESIGNED with the CRUISING COUPLE in mind

THE Florida MARINER #930 / 11 April 2021
We sat with Captain Mark during JFA’s Drone & WalkThru Video Shoot for a quick interview: Q: What do you like best about the Marlow Explorer brand? A: I like the profile, quality,
performance, fit and finish, and value retention (resale value). Marlow historically has proven tremendous ability at retaining value. Ability to customize to the way we wanted it. The exterior of the vessel made my wife very comfortable when walking around the yacht. The woodwork is just gorgeous! The Hull is fantastic and the weight-to-thrust ratio with the bigger engines gave us the speed we wanted. Q: How long have you owned Hull # 011 & tell us about her name: “M/Y Crystal”? A: Well we actually took two years to design and have it built by Marlow. We took delivery in November 2018. And now we are 2 1/2 years onboard. My wife’s name is Crystal and Hull# 011 “M/Y Crystal” is my mistress. Q: What do you like best about hull number O-Double One? A: I believe Hull # 011 is the perfect yacht for an owner operator couple. We took the tender off the flybridge and added a tender lift on the stern giving us the room we wanted to enjoy aloft. We fully enclosed the upper helm station with a three glass pane windshield with wipers and poly carbon sides that fold up and inward attaching to the ceiling ($72,000 upgrade). This allowed us to eliminate the need for a lower helm station. This gave us tremendous living space forward of the galley which we really enjoy! We also upgraded the engines to Twin CAT 12.9 (1000 hp each) giving us greater speeds (23-26 kts). We built in a hidden door in the Master Cabin that opens into a pass-thru utility/laundry compartment that leads to a water-tight door to the engine room. Q: Why are you listing her for sale with JFA Yacht & Ship? A: Well we have enjoyed her part time and now I’m fully retired. We love the live-aboard life and want to continue full time with a larger vessel.
Hull O-Double One is a cruising couples dream, custom tailored for the mission, and her clean explorer lines give her a profile any owner would be proud of! This is a one owner yacht that has approximately 800 hrs and is in immaculate condition. For a complete breakdown go to:

World’s fastest all-electric passenger ship to launch in Stockholm
T
he all-new foiling Candela P-30—the world’s fastest all-electric passenger ship—will hit Stockholm’s waterways in 2022, shuttling passengers to and from the archipelago above the waves without wakes, noise and CO2 emissions. Ferries are often the most enjoyable and scenic forms of city transportation, but can be painfully slow, as well as smelly and noisy. Worse, they contribute large amounts of CO2 and noxious gases to the atmosphere. Why not fly instead? That’s exactly what Swedish tech company Candela will bring to Stockholm, Sweden— fast all-electric commuter ferries that soar above the waves on foils, quietly and efficiently carrying passengers at speeds up to 30 knots. As soon as next year Candela’s new 30-passenger ferry P-30 will commence operations, with the intention of eventually replacing the city’s aging fleet of 60 diesel boats that serve commuters and visitors to and from the vast, 30 000-island archipelago that stretches from the city center. After sea trials, the P-30 will start commercial operation in 2023. At its introduction, the foiling P-30 will hold the
14
distinction of setting several world records. It will be the longest-range electric passenger ship, as well as the fastest. But, it will also be the most energy efficient fast ship ever built. Funded jointly by Stockholm technology boat builder Candela, and the Swedish transport authority, the P-30 flies on computer-controlled hydrofoils which reduce energy consumption by 80 percent compared to the best fast ferries of today. This is the key to its long all-electric range at high speeds. The higher service speeds will allow the new P-30 ferry to shuttle more passengers farther and faster than any other electric ship, and will
THE Florida MARINER #930 / 11 April 2021
be able to service even the longest routes because it can travel more than three hours at 20 knot cruise speeds before recharging. The P-30 can also operate in urban waterways at higher speeds than traditional passenger boats because it creates virtually no wake that would otherwise damage nearby vessels or property. “Today, most of our waterways are unused for mass transit, even though most highways are congested during rushhour traffic. Opening up urban waterways for high-speed electric transport can revolutionize commuting in cities such as San Francisco, Seoul or Amsterdam – at a very low cost,” says Gustav Hasselskog, the founder and CEO of Candela. “There’s no need to build new infrastructure.” The all-new high tech P-30 ferry from Candela will offer superior comfort and seakeeping from its Flight controller, a computer that analyzes the boat’s pitch and roll a hundred times a second and automatically adjusts the foils to keep it level above the waves. Thanks to the computer and software, the ride
is artificially stable, leaving even the most seasickprone passengers with smiles on their faces. The P-30’s hydrofoil tech provides other benefits over conventional ships, too. A recent report by the municipality of Stockholm estimates the overall cost of operating the Candela P-30 will be half the cost of conventional diesel ferries. P-30 consumes about 3 kWh per nautical mile, which is one tenth of a conventional ship and comparable to the energy consumption of a modern electric-hybrid bus. Candela’s Director of Public Transportation Erik Eklund says, “Our goal is to prove that our electric hydrofoil ferries are much cheaper, more comfortable and a lot more versatile than conventional vessels. It’s not just an alternative to other ships, but a whole new take on of public transportation.” Candela P-30 is based on Candela’s leading electric hydrofoil technology for leisure boats. The 25 foot Candela Seven is Europe’s currently bestselling premium electric recreational craft. Read more on the Candela Public Transportation Site: candelaspeedboat.com/public-transport/

Merrill-Stevens Yachts Wins Sealine Yachts 2020 Dealer of the Year Award (US)
M
iami, Florida-based Merrill-Stevens Yachts (MS Yachts) was named 2020 North American Dealer of the Year by Sealine Yachts.

At the show, the team will share information on available vessels for sale, RMK Merrill-Stevens Services After the Sale available for Sealine Yachts, Pardo Yachts, and more.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Sergio Atanes Take some T and M this Month One of the first things I learned at an early age from my uncle Manuel was his techniques and his knowledge of fishing. At the age of five years and a few months, he took me under his wing like an angel and hooked me on fishing. He was only 18 years old at the time but had already acquired more knowledge about fishing in Tampa Bay than most anglers twice his age. About a year into my adventures with my uncle, he decided to expand the boundaries and that summer we started fishing Gasparilla Island. Back then in the 50’s there were no bridges to the island,only ferryboat service several times a day. I do remember the last ferryboat left at 8 PM on Friday nights. We missed it several times when the traffic on US 41, then a single lane highway would backup for miles around Sarasota and we had to spend the night fishing the old railroad bridge that carried supplies to the island (the bridge is still there today and a good fishing spot) untilthe next ferryboat arrived at 8 AM. We would camp on the shoreline within sight of the old phosphate pier that extended into Boca Grande Pass was a beautiful sight at night, it’s lights looking more like a great ship from the distance gliding into the pass (all that is left of the pier now is wooden pilings). Fishing was not allowed on the pier except on weekends. No ships docked and at night the guards would let us fish till daybreak in exchange for some of our catch or sometimes for a bottle of rum, and boy did we catch fish. Huge redfish up to 40 inches long, snook (as they were called soap fish in the 50’s) were considered trash fish Grouper, flounder and mangrove snapper were common occurrences during the winter months. At any given time you
could hook up with a goliath grouper that many times exceeded two hundred pounds. We used 3/8 anchor line with 20/0 hook and for sinkers we used old window sash weights with mullet for bait. The line was lowered to the bottom towards the end of the pier and tied to the railing. When the railing shook you knew you had a big fish and all the guys would slowly walk the beast to the shore line where it wascleaned and deboned, and iced for the trip back home. During the day we fished for mackerel, trout andredfish along the shoreline and island side of the railroad bridge. Part of the learning experience was not only fishing but camping and cooking our catch. I remember a walkway on both sides of the pier with a conveyor belt that ran through the center. I don’t remember a lot more than that, other than my uncle would tie old anchor line around my waist and the other end was tied to the railing. This gave me enough scope to let me work an area but short enough that if I fell in the water only my feet would touch. The current then as it is today runs at a good clip through the pass and I would have been swept into the Gulf forever. If my mother had ever known or found out some of my many experiences I had with my uncle, it would have ended my fishing career. In the winter of 1952 Uncle Manuel received an invitation from his uncle (Uncle Sam),then known as thedraft board,to spend some time in the Army. My adventures were put on hold until his return, but my love for fishing continues even today. Now you ask what is T and M? T is for the time you spend teaching to someone else what you learned about fishing. M is for the memories you can’t buy and for the memories you pass on.
with Captain Rick Grassett This is a great month for snook on shallow flats. Reds and trout will also be more active as the water warms and baitfish become more plentiful. You might find Spanish mackerel, blues and pompano in passes or on deep grass flats. Look for Spanish mackerel, false albacore (little tunny), cobia and tripletail in the coastal gulf this month. Tarpon should also make an appearance in back country areas and in the coastal gulf later in the month. Tarpon will become more plentiful this month as resident fish make their way out of rivers and creeks and early arriving migratory fish begin to show along beaches, particularly by the end of the month. Water temperature in the gulf is a key factor with 80 degrees being an optimum temperature. As the water warms towards that, fish will become more plentiful. Resident fish may be rolling on deep grass flats in some of the same places that you find trout, laid up on edges of shallow grass flats or along sand bars. Spin anglers might score with a DOA Shrimp, Baitbuster or 4” CAL Shad Tail while fly anglers might connect with a black Deceiver or Tarpon Bunny fly. Keep your tarpon tackle, rigged and ready, this time of year so you’re able to take advantage of any opportunity that arises. 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/extendedcnr-220/.MikePerezTBCALShadsnook2 Snook should be staging on flats, around sand and oyster bars, on points of islands and around docks and bridges close to passes in the ICW. Spin anglers should score with CAL
22
jigs and a variety of plastic tails including the 4” CAL Shad, DOA Baitbusters or surface walking top water plugs, like the DOA PT. Fish the edges of bars and potholes when the tide is low and mangrove shorelines or points of islands when the tide is high. You’ll also find snook around docks and bridges in the ICW. Night snook fishing should be productive with small white flies, like my Grassett Snook Minnow fly, CAL jigs with shad tails and jerk worms, DOA Shrimp and Tiny TerrorEyz. Fish peak tidal flows for the best action. Reds will spend more time feeding on shallow flats due to more plentiful bait. I am seeing a decline in reds and big trout in shallow water in many of the areas that I fish, which makes them even harder to catch with lures and flies. Look for them in potholes, the edges of bars and around docks when the tide is low. You should find them higher on flats over shallow grass or around mangrove shorelines when the tide is high. I like a 1/16-oz CAL jig with a shad tail or jerk worm for reds in shallow water. They are easy to fish in shallow water, come in multiple colors and are a good way to find reds. My Grassett Flats Minnow is my “go to” fly for reds. It fishes well in shallow water and its bend back design makes it very weedless. You may also find big trout in skinny water in many of the same places that you find reds. The same lures, flies and techniques used to find and catch reds will also work for big trout. Trout should be plentiful on deep grass flats. I like to drift and cast ahead of my drift with CAL jigs and a variety of plastic tails or DOA Deadly Combos. Fly anglers should score with weighted flies on sink tip fly lines. I tie Clousers with Ultra Hair on long shank hooks so that they are durable and will hold up to toothy and rough mouth fish. Deep grass flats with a close proximity to passes and usually good due to strong tidal flow. You might also find blues, Spanish mackerel, pompano or flounder mixed with trout on deep grass flats. The same lures, flies and techniques that you use to find trout on deep

West Central Florida Southwest Coast Fishing takes no special skills and is one of the few sports anyone can participate in from young to old so why don’t you start your own T and M this month with someone you care for and watch the memories grow. May Tampa Bay Fishing Report Snook action is hot along the mangroves with the best bites in the early morningusing topwater plugs or their favorite summer bait live greenback sardines. Fishing with live bait I like to freeline the baits in morning and use a float like the Four horsemenwhich has a distinct noise I found draws a lot of attention in the afternoon. Redfish will be roaming the flats and I suggest cut threadfin sardines on a 3/0 Kahle hook with a split shot about 3 inches from the hook. Pick a spot with salt and pepper bottom or close to some oyster barscast in the general area and let the baits sit on the bottom it may take some time, but the reds will come, and chances are you will catch everyone’s limit. Mackerel will be everywhere you have a strong running tide;range markers and artificial reefs are a good place to start. Black drum can be found under most bridges feeding on cut blue crabs or shrimp. Mangrove snapper will be in the same area except they prefer shrimp or small greenback sardines on a 1/0 hook. Good fishing and tight lines.

Southwest Florida grass will work for these species, too. You’ll need to tip your leader with wire or heavy fluorocarbon when blues and mackerel are around. I prefer heavy fluorocarbon and long shank hooks whenever possible, since that usually won’t affect the trout bite. Blues and mackerel usually don’t feed on the surface in the bay like they do in the open gulf, but you may see bait showering or boils indicating fast moving fish, feeding just below the surface. Pompano may “skip” when you run or drift past them giving their location away. When that happens, circle back upwind and drift the area. Flounder are often found in potholes, on the edges of bars or on mud bottom. There should be good action in the coastal gulf this month with Spanish and king mackerel, false albacore (little tunny), cobia and tripletail. Look for Spanish mackerel or albies feeding on the surface. You might find tripletail or cobia around crab trap floats. Your tarpon spin or fly tackle can do double duty for cobia and medium spinning tackle or an 8 or 9-weight fly rod will cover everything else. Artificial reefs or natural areas of hard bottom may hold any of these species. When fishing these areas you will need to get your lure, fly or bait down in the water column to the level where fish are located. April is one of my favorite months. There should be good action in Sarasota Bay on both shallow and deep grass flats, in the coastal gulf for mackerel, albies, cobia and tripletail and with tarpon by the end of the month. I like early season tarpon, since they are usually aggressive, but there should be lots of other options, too. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by residential, agricultural and industrial runoff, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

Captain’sCorner with Captain Mo Estevez This was a cool trip Vic wanted to fly fish for bonefish and his buddy Pat was willing to catch anything but there’s a twist. I had perfect conditions for hot bonefishing out of Homestead but there were no rental cars available for Vic to rent and couldn’t come down to Homestead. So, I ran from Homestead to Key Biscayne, picked them up and ran south a bit to a slick calm shoreline I used to fish for bonefish. Ha, after all those years the bones were still there. Vic and Pat had some solid shots but as happens many times in fly fishing for bonefish, it didn’t work out. With the wind now picking up we ran back to Key Biscayne where the party really started. Switching to spinning gear and fishing structure, these two guys were hilarious as they trash talked and of course I helped them out a bit as well. In the end, they caught snook, jacks, snapper, mutton snapper and some more stuff I can’t recall. Cool day with great guys!

Three Days with Mike Mike is from Maryland and fly fishes with me for three days several times a year. We always have a good time and mix it up on fly. The first day we had very unusual conditions for March, a super calm windless morning. We took the opportunity and fished for bonefish out of Homestead and it was awesome! The problem is we missed a few eats on fly but we changed it up and ended the day fishing a mullet mud where Mike had a blast catching bluefish, jacks, and more as well as having a black tip shark eat his bluefish next to the boat. The second day was like the first except the bonefishing was even better and Mike got 8 eats and finally connected on the last one. What a rush! Afterwards we fished the mullet muds again and called it a day. On the last day the wind had picked up so we fished out of Key Biscayne and the fishing
was good but the fish were reluctant to eat a fly. I really wanted Mike to get a snook on fly but the conditions were tough and the wind was coming at a bad angle. He did ask that I throw a lure to make sure they were there and I hooke duop immediately. Sorry Mike! We called it a day early because of the unusually high boat traffic running over most of the fishing spots. First Snook Father Son Trip I love father/son trips and today I had Rudy and his son Adrian along with their friend Baldo. These guys live in Homestead like me and we hit the bay early in the morning. Rudy told me he had never caught a snook so I took them to a shoreline I like for snook and throwing soft plastics and hard plastics we worked the shoreline. A few minutes into our trip I heard a pop and I told Rudy to cast to the pop. As soon as he did he was on and landed his first snook. Yes! Later on the guys missed two more snook bites and Baldo caught his first snook as well. Afterwards I took them to another spot where 8 year old Adrian wore out the snappers, or was it the other way around? The ladies tore it up again! I had super stars Maria and Elissa today and Elissa brought her brother Jonas for a day of fishing. They usually fish 8 hours but it was 6 hours today. Well, they always like to catch fish to eat and off we went to get them dinner. After a few slow spots I took them to a channel I like
Like most of my reports, I have good news and bad news. The offshore bite started out so strong, I couldn’t believe it. We had wahoo, a very early tuna bite and mahi around. It felt like fishing in April with every day having one or two different pelagics species being caught. The bad news is the offshore bite has been a struggle the last month. Putting our time in we have had some very successful catches of big wahoo and sail fish. In most cases we have had to change up gears and hit som bottom spots to produce some good quality eating fish. All is not lost, I am certain this cold spell will warm up for the entire key west fleet. April is usually very good for sailfish, tuna and
Southeast Coast on the tide we had and using shrimp and jigs they tore it up. They caught mangrove snapper, yellow jacks, barracuda, porgies and more. At the end they caught their limit of snappers and a half dozen nice yellow jacks. Well, mission accomplished. Dinner will be at 7pm! Another half day gone right! Man I’ve been busy working non-stop so I was back on the water with Gregg his wife and son. They wanted to keep the rods bent so I took them to spot where the ladyfish have been holding and using live shrimp they got into some nice action. The problem? There was no bait in the Miami tackle shops this morning so I was working with the few I had alive in my live well from the prior day. Thankfully my buddy got me three dozen from a shop that got a late shipment and I met him at the ramp half way through our trip. Those 3 dozen shrimp went quick with hot action keeping the rods bent, drags screaming and the clients happy. With an hour left we ran out of live shrimp so we took a tour of the bay and called it a day. What great people and trip today with great weather and hot fishing. Ended the month on a high note I had another family trip today with Andrew, 10 year old Charlie and 6 year old Allison. She is SO cute! They kept busy catching lady fish, jacks, snapper, pompano and a couple of fish that we lost. Just one spot is what we needed and before we knew it the time to head back in was upon us.

wahoo. Then May and June should bring the mahi madness we all love and wait for.
Marathon/Florida Keys Key West for any questions you may have. Look forward to fishing with you!
On the brighter side, we have been successful finding the dinner and more. Having difficult times makes our jobs as guides stressful but also makes us adapt and grow as anglers. The tough bite made us find new and better bottom numbers. We have had great success finding vermillion snappers in the 3-5 lb range. Mutton snappers, yellowtails and greys which all make good table fare. I could not count how many big groupers we have caught and released so this in particular makes me very excited about May 1, the start of grouper season! I hope to report a very positive fishing report in the next couple of months! But as alwasy, we adapt and overcome tougher days with finding fish and making good memories! April, May and June dates are filling up - give me a call or shoot me a text

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK MIGHT BE YOUR BEST NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemicfree aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2021 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical
26
www.TheMariner.com aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org. BUSY, CLASSES DON’T FIT YOUR TIMETABLE?

COAST GUARD AUXILIARY OFFERS VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS AND SAFE BOATING CLASSES - A Vessel Safety Check is a complimentary check of your boat conducted by members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state requirements for safety. 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.

CLEARWATER COAST GUARD AUXILIARY TEACHING BOATING SAFETY CLASSES ONLINE - 2021 - A New Way to Learn … A New Crop of Safe Boaters. With the advent of COVID-19, the Coast Guard Auxiliary was advised to discontinue in-person classes for the safety of the instructors and students. The good news is that the State of Florida (FWC) and the National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) have approved the Coast Guard Auxiliary to conduct online classes. These classes are not your standard webinar sessions where the students sit at their computers and are lectured at. And they’re not animated cartoon sessions where you have to keep pressing enter to get to the next topic. The Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary is offering outstanding “Boat America” course via two options: Running the classes over four consecutive evenings from 7pm to about 9:30pm - April 27th & April 28th, April 29th & April 30th. Classes are $40 per student and include the books, supplemental materials and course completion certificates. The classes being offered by the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary are conducted on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. In addition, because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! The boating safety class is also a requirement for many boaters in Florida. In the Sunshine State, anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988, must successfully complete a boater safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to operate any boat powered by more than 10 horsepower, and they are required to carry their boater education card with them when out on the water along with picture ID.
