DiscoverBoating Types of Anchors: How to Choose the Right Size Anchor

rough weather, and on a variety of bottoms, and thus will need not only heavier gear but also several different anchors suitable for different bottom conditions.

minimal holding power. They should be used only for personal watercrafts, small aluminum fishing boats, or dinghies.

Consult a Boat Anchor Size Chart Anchor manufacturer guidance, usually based on boat length, can be a good starting point to determine which size anchor is appropriate for your boat. If your boat is heavier than typical boats of that length, or presents more windage, you should select a larger anchor.

M

ost new boats do not come equipped with an anchor, but every boat should have one on board. You may want to drop the anchor to hold the boat in a secluded cove for an afternoon of relaxation or even an overnight stay, or just to hold your boat over fishing structure.

The anchor is most important as a critical item of safety gear. If you should lose power, it’s the anchor that’s going to keep your boat from drifting into peril, be it rocks or another shoal, or the dangers of a surf-swept shoreline. The best anchor first depends on the size and type of your boat.

A tall sportfishing boat or power cruiser that can catch a lot of wind will need heavier gear, for example, then a low-profile bass boat. Boats used for long-distance cruising may need to anchor in

The same logic applies if you frequent an area with high winds. Generally, the bigger the anchor, the better, but the anchor’s holding power in the bottom, rather than its weight, is what really matters. Always keep your ground tackle (the anchor and its rode, or line) ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.

Types of Boat Anchors Once you have a better idea of what size anchor you need for your boat, you’ll also want to consider the type of anchor. Let’s explore some of the most popular options available for boaters when it comes to anchors.

Mushroom Anchor Very large mushroom anchors are used for moorings or securing buoys. Small mushroom anchors may be effective in the softest river bottom but have

secured on a bow roller rather than in an anchor locker in the boat. A plow anchor has a single penetrating point and is more likely to reset itself if boat position changes. It can be more effective than the Danforth in light grass, has the strength to hold in a rocky bottom if it gets a good grip, and does well in soft bottoms.

Claw Anchor This non-folding anchor is similar to the plow anchor, but has a broader scoop shape that works well in mud, clay or sandy bottoms. These anchors are also strong enough to hold on a rocky bottom. A claw anchor will re-set quickly if the wind changes.

It may not work well on a very hard bottom, or in thick vegetation, both challenging for all types of anchors. This anchor is also best-suited to installation with a bow roller or windlass.

Danforth or Fluke Anchor This style of anchor is a good choice for smaller boats because it folds flat and is easy to stow, and has great holding power for its weight. Its wide, sharp flukes sink into sand and hard-mud bottoms, but are less effective in deep mud or a grassy bottom. If the wind shifts and boat drifts over the anchor and then in the opposite direction from which it was set, a Danforth anchor can pull free.

Plow Anchor A plow anchor is a little more cumbersome than a Danforth, and is a good choice if the anchor is

Grapnel Anchor Shaped like a grappling hook, this anchor has multiple tines or points, and is designed to grab onto structure on the bottom—such as rocks or submerged timber—rather than sink into the bottom.

The tines usually fold up along the shank so that the anchor is more compact for stowage. On some models the tines are designed to bend to make it easier to retrieve the anchor if it becomes snagged on bottom structure. The tines can them be bent back into shape. Grapnel anchors are available in many sizes, including very small models for jon boats, skiffs or small boats, like kayaks.

WAIV Technologies Launches World’s First Solar-Powered GPS Tracker with Capsize Detection, Specifically Engineered to Help Boat/Jet Ski Rental Businesses

S

AN DIEGO, April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -Already an established leader in wireless GPS tracking technology for boats and jet skis, WAIV (https://www.waiv. co/) announced the official launch of its newest iteration in boat-tracking technology: the WAIV XStream. The new generation launches WAIV beyond ordinary GPS tracking and geofencing.

XStream gives WAIV rental operators real-time situation awareness such as when a boat will return late, when renters need assistance, or when renters are speeding or enter non-allowed areas. WAIV’s cloud-based software also keeps tabs on start time, end time, and duration of each individual rental session.

WAIV XStream: Easy to Use by Design “Ease of installation, ease of use, and affordability are top priorities for WAIV,” said Magnus Berggren,

president at WAIV Technologies. The WAIV XStream is perfect for rental businesses that hire seasonal staff of various technical skill levels. With WAIV, staff do not need to be marine electricians. Improper electrical installation frequently causes battery shortcircuiting that may strand renters at sea or make a boat unavailable to rent”.

We’re also really excited to introduce twoway communication, giving renters the ability to request assistance, or request additional rental hours, providing upsell opportunities for rental companies.”

The WAIV app works on mobile phones and tablets as well as PCs and laptops - letting rental staff multitask and stay mobile, while helping rental customers.

XStream is built to handle tough environmental conditions including wide temperature ranges, mechanical vibration, UV, salt water, chemicals,

and is completely wireless and self-contained.

Geofencing: Fully customizable geofences alert staff whenever renters enter restricted areas or go out-of-bounds. The fences also detect speeds, or if a boat/jet ski walks away from home after business hours.

Team Management: WAIV’s app supports multiple types of user account. For example - seasonal staff can be assigned limited access user accounts, allowing them to view boats and receive text alerts, without allowing them to modify the fleet or other important account settings.

WAIV XStream features include: World-wide Service Coverage: 4G mobile services provide terrific coverage with low-power consumption world-wide.

Solar Powered: No wires to connect, for a quick and effortless installation.

Capsize Detection: WAIV uses patented advancedmotion technology. Operators receive text alerts for events including jet-ski inversion & boat capsizing

Two-Way Communication: Automated, personalized text messaging providing dockhands and other workers with instant alerts, like: “Jet ski #3 returning home, be ready to assist.” Renters can also communicate back with dock staff to request additional rental time, or to request assistance if stranded.

BostonWhaler® partners with SEALTeam Ocean Reef to support the Navy SEAL Community

E

DGEWATER, Fla. (April 28, 2021) — Boston Whaler was proud to partner with SEAL Team Ocean Reef, which works with the Navy SEAL Museum, a nonprofit organization, to provide housing, family assistance, K9 companions, scholarships and more for the SEAL community.

In support of the annual fundraising event, Whaler donated a boat to be raffled off, and hosted the event’s first-ever fishing tournament, dubbed the Boston Whaler Invitational.

on 420 Outrage WHALER 1, helmed by Stickler and Boston Whaler’s Director of Large Boat Sales Wil Rogers, led the hunt for sailfish. Additional backing came from MarineMax Ocean Reef and its General Manager/Director of Sales Ken Reda, a longtime supporter of SEAL Team Ocean Reef.

“Everyone at Boston Whaler and MarineMax was wonderful and so very generous,” said John Lee, the event’s lead organizer. “Even beyond the incredible amount of money raised

“We were grateful to participate and show our support for the Navy SEAL community,” said Whaler President Nick Stickler. “It was an honor to be in the company of such amazing people.

Our country’s veterans and service members are true heroes.”

Over the years, SEAL Team Ocean Reef has grown and evolved; the event has become a multi-day experience. Attendees engage with the Navy SEALs through activities including a beach boot camp, veterans’ breakfast, VIP dinner, golf tournament, and “SEALs Up Close & Personal,” an impressive display of SEAL skills and expertise. Guests of this year’s event included Medal of Honor recipient and SEAL Mike Thornton, as well as twenty SEALs and their families. More than 1200 visitors enjoyed SEALs Up Close & Personal, and 250 attended the VIP dinner.

The raffle of a Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport, featuring a oneof-a-kind Navy SEAL hull wrap (shown above), raised $40,000.

Fifteen boats fished in the Boston Whaler Invitational, with each boat carrying SEALs and their family members. A team

in the raffle, the goodwill from the SEAL logo on the boat is priceless. We’re proud to share in demonstrating our respect and love for all veterans for their service to our great country.”

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 aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water.

16

www.TheMariner.com 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.

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 2045 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.

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: May 22nd & May 23rd (Two Sessions) ONLINE 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. June 22nd & June 23rd; June 24th & June 25th (Four Evenings) ONLINE, 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm.

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.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Sergio Atanes Changing Times Requires Changing Our Tactics Just when we think we know it all it changes. Take for example redfish. For years we could count on the months of April, May and June to produce large quantities of redfish from Tarpon Key, Calf and the Cow, Weedon Island and Big Island just to name a few spots. The last four years the large schools that roamed the flats are not there. OK, you do find someoccasionally, but the truth is they are gone. The question is where did they go was the red tide to blame? Ido not know nor do a lot of other captains who are struggling to find them, to me it started before the red tide, so it is time to focus on other species. The closure of redfish will work but it takes time for them to rebound.

Pompanos are in the jack family and first cousins to permit. Juvenile permit and pompano school together in many areas and are often difficult to tell apart.

Since the net ban, pompano population has increased tenfold giving local anglers a chance to catch fish.

Pompanos are found in warm waters of Tampa Bay and shorelines of the gulf beaches. Since pompanos feed on shrimp, small crabs, sand fleas and artificial baits it makes for some great fishing. There is no need to catch bait. Just stop at your local bait store and stock up on regular shrimp or fiddler crabs and you are ready to go.

Pompano fishing is very time consuming and takes a lot of work to be good at it. They can be caught from the shoreline around

bridge pilings and working the grass flats.

One old trick is torun your boat on a plane through the flats and watch for them skipping your wave, and once you see them skip, work the area with jigs and live shrimp while drifting the flats.

My favorite tackle for pompano is 10-to-15-pound braided line on a medium spinning reel 71/2 foot with a fast tapered spinning rod. I found using 20-pound fluorocarbon leader with a #1J hook works best. When fishing the beaches sand fleas are also a good choice and easy to catch.

Live baits are used fishing on the bottom with a small split shot just enough to drag the bottom and stir up some sand while drawing the attention of the pompano.

Artificial baits are another method, and my favorite is using jigs,especially Banana Jigs as they give me the ability to cover a larger area whether I am fishing the shoreline or drifting the flats in a boat. You want to bounce the jig off the bottom so that when it falls a puff of sand pops up making it look like a crab trying to bury itself. Some of the best jigs I have found are the ¼ and 3/8 ounce in pink, white or yellow. The other is a feathered jig chrome head with white-red and silver feathers.

Both are killers on pompano and other species.

Fishbites makes strip baits in shrimp and crab scent that are killers for pompano. Attached a small piece to the jig and let it work its magic.

Mangrove snapper is another species often overlooked this time

with Captain Kyle Messier Nature Coast Anglers Outlook Anglers from all over the country have been flocking to the Nature Coast in recent weeks as our shallow flats are teeming with some of the “World’s” most sought after inshore fish species. Permit, Snook, Redfish, and Tarpon have all been top targets for inshore anglers lately and as most traveling anglers will tell you its very rare to have the opportunity to catch all of these species within the same day let alone on the same flats.

Of course luck is key when planning a trip to target multiple species like these but simply hitting 3 of the 4 species within a day will help to accomplish a SLAM that very few anglers can stake claim too.

The most challenging of the 4 major species to hit on is definitely the Permit. Many anglers visiting Florida have the perception that Permit only roam the flats and wrecks of South Florida but this notion couldn’t be any further from the truth as the flats off Crystal River and Homosassa see their fare share of these stealthy swimmers throughout the year also. When searching for Permit it’s very important to know what you’re looking for first. On sandy flats and white

20

painted oyster bars the yellow underbelly and black dorsal fin of the Permit really standout.

Once Permit are spotted I find myself blinking twice, then pinching myself to make sure what I’m seeing is actually a Permit. As any angler that actively targets Permit will tell you it’s still the one fish that swims that will make your knees knock.

When my anglers have not been obsessed with targeting Permit, they have found some incredible success catching Snook and Redfish in the upper to over slot range.

On the Gulf side of Florida Redfish have an 18”-27” inch slot while the Snook slot remains a tight 28”33” inches. With water temperatures starting to heat up along the flats it has been increasingly important

West Central Florida Southwest Coast of year and one of my favorites. Mangrove snappers make good table fare and are tough fighters. You can free line the bait along the mangroves or add 3/8 to ½ ounce sinkers to keep the bait close to the bottom when fishing around the bridge pilings or artificial reefs. Mangrove snappers are most often found around bridges, rock piles, artificial reefs and along the mangroves.

Spanish Mackerel is another species that can make your day, they give a good fight not bad to eat and terrific to smoke.

They move in in May and will be around until the first cold front in the fall. I prefer to use a 1/0 XXL J hook tied to 30-pound fluorocarbon leader at least 32 inches long. The XXL hook eliminates about 70 percent of your cut offs. Live greenback sardines hooked through the nose if there’s a strong tide if not just behind the front fin.

Snook are spawning for the next several months and I prefer to let them do their thing as they can be caught anytime, so let them have some time off.

Tackle: • 7’.6” Okuma SRTE-S-761M inshore spinning rod.

• Helios 3000 Okuma spinning reel.

• 15-Pound Fins Windtamer braided line.

• 20-pound fluorocarbon leader (Pompano and Mangrove snapper) • 30-pound fluorocarbon leader (Spanish mackerel)

West Florida to target outer islands, points, and oyster bars where harder currents tend to flow. Where you find stronger currents often you will find cooler water temperatures and consistent flows of bait. Floating live baits such as shrimp and pinfish down current towards feeding fish has lead to some incredible catches lately but for those anglers throwing lures or flies casting up current and retrieving lures and flies towards fish is the more natural approach.

Near-shore along the beaches, concentrate your efforts in the areas of active bait pods (pogies). Typically, when you see concentrated areas of bait with birds feeding on the surface, big fish are just as active underneath.

Species feeding on these pods include tarpon, jack cervalle, redfish, cobia, and sharks. Near the end of the month, you can add kingfish to the mix. Also, tripletail and flounder numbers should be improving around the Port Canaveral buoys. At the inlets and beaches, Spanish mackerel, snook, redfish, jack crevalle, bluefish, flounder, sheepshead, and black drum are just some of the species available this month.

Blue water trolling should be excellent in May, with the larger dolphin being the focus of most blue water anglers. Also, in the mix are tuna, wahoo, kingfish, sailfish, and an

On the lagoon flats, redfish and spotted sea trout will provide the majority of the action for light tackle and fly anglers.

For sea trout, fish your favorite topwater plugs at first light in about two feet of water concentrating in areas where baitfish are active. After the morning top-water bite fades, switch to your favorite soft plastic jig fished in three to five feet of water alone the edges of flats or spoil islands.

In May the water has warmed to the point where the jack crevalle, ladyfish, snook, and tarpon will begin to show up in good numbers. In addition, there

with Captain James Jackson Finally spring is here, and April & May are some of my favorite months to fish Lake Toho. The bass are aggressively feeding up after spawning in the winter and the weathers consistent. Which makes the bite very consistent also. And that is what’s going on right now on all of the offshore grass patches on the lake. We’re consistently catching good fish!

We’re averaging around 20-30 fish on a 4-5 hour trip. There’s so much offshore grass for these bass to get on right now, it’s awesome, and it pretty much all has fish on it. Our guides are scattered all over the lake fishing all different patches of grass, and we’re all catching fish.

This is also one of the best times of year to fish artificials also and they’ve been biting a range of different lures.

“Where Caring is the Key”

occasional marlin. When targeting these species, work areas of color and water temperature changes (lines) in 120 feet of water or deeper, and in areas of concentrated floating weeds and debris. In addition, do not forget that kingfish and cobia are present on the near-shore shoals, reefs and wrecks like Bethel Shoals, Pelican Flats, Chris Benson, and 8A reefs.

Flukes, swimjigs, speedworms, jerkbaits, chatterbaits, topwater spooks, and flipping have all been catching fish. That’s what’s awesome about this time of year, you can catch fish on kind of whatever you want! Now as I’ve said above and many other times before, Lake Toho bass are offshore bass.

They like to be offshore as much as possible. And right now they’ve got plenty of real estate to choose from with all the grass patches out there.

Whether it’s hydrilla, eel grass, or pepper grass, theirs fish on it.

Locating one of these grass patches isn’t hard right now, and once you find one, stick to the outside edges of it. That’s where a majority of the fish are right now. Swimjigs, speedworms, and chatterbaits have been working well just reeled slowly across the tops of the grass.

While

have been

Central Florida is a huge showing of finger mullet this season, so it is time to break out your DOA Bait Busters.

Schooling redfish and other predators find the Bait Busters difficult to resist when retrieved quickly just under the surface of the water in areas of concentrated mullet schools.

Remember when using the technique; keep your lure moving until you feel the fish on the line.

Finally, fishing on the St Johns River freshwater is particularly good in May. The crappie are balled up in deeper water if you know where to look for them. Also, the bluegill and shellcrackers are concentrated on beds and are very tasty and great fun on light tackle. Lastly, the larger channel catfish will be on the move once the water levels start rising from our summer rain.

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

Marathon/Florida Keys Central Florida working best by d e a d sticking them and letting them sink all the way to the bottom, then twitch it a couple of times back up and repeat, letting it sink back down again.

The jerkbait has been working best moved more quickly with harder jerks and a short pause in-between.

But as always large golden wild shiners have been working the best and you’ll definitely get the most your of your day with them!

This is a awesome time to be fishing Lake Toho right now so whether you’re here on vacation or live here, get out and go fishing!
