Navigare Yachting Partners with Bali Catamarans

avigare Yachting is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Bali Catamarans. The collaboration already opens a few brand new Bali catamarans in the Navigare fleet for charter guests to book -- including the new Bali Catpsace, Bali 4.2 and Bali 4.8 in the Bahamas and the US Virgin Islands -- with the rest of the range to follow in the next few months. Yacht buyers who wish to buy a new boat and place it in a charter program under the care of Navigare Yachting can now do so on all the latest models from Bali sailing catamaran and Bali powercat ranges.

The announcement comes on the heels of the 51st edition of the Annapolis boat show where Navigare Yachting exhibited its first Bali catamaran, the Bali 4.8 in its 5-cabin, 5-head configuration. “The addition of the Bali brand to our charter fleet and ownership programs could not have come at a better time”, says Jesper Rönngard, Founder and CEO of Navigare Yachting. “As our industry continues its fast-pace recovery from the global health crisis, the demand from charter clients has never been greater, particularly in the Bahamas and the Caribbean. By bringing new products to our charter fleet and to yacht buyers, Navigare is poised to continue gaining market share even more rapidly,” added Rönngard.

Boris Compagnon, Sales and Marketing Director for Bali/ Catana Group. He goes on to say, “The living space on Bali catamarans is, depending upon the model, between 10 and 15% larger than similar size catamarans on the market today. That’s a lot of space for large groups and families who gather for a sailing vacation.” Navigare Yachting has already announced an order book of 59 more new Bali yachts from the shipyard over the next 24 months. For more information, visit navigare-yachting.com/en

“The Bali catamaran product line is particularly well-suited for charter clients because of its open concept,” explains

2021 Holiday Gift Guide for Boaters There are plenty of special boating gifts that your favorite loved one would surely appreciate unwrapping this holiday season. But, wouldn’t they be even more excited to open up a gift that makes boating itself better? Of course they would. We’ve sorted through the potential presents that can make a boater’s time out on the water even more awesome than it already is, and one or more of these picks is sure to put a smile on the face of your most beloved boater. As you try to figure out how to make this season a special one, be sure to consider these top 10 gifts for boaters. 1. A Boat Lift Keeping your boat on a lift doesn’t just eliminate the need for bottom paint and mooring lines, it also gives you peace of mind. Sitting high and dry above the water that boat is significantly safer than it would be in a wet slip, yet launching and pulling it is far easier than it would be with a trailer. And boat lifts aren’t just for private dock owners. Many marinas allow their customers to put lifts in their slips (though there’s usually a long-term commitment involved and the marina may retain ownership of the lift afterwards). If you’re not sure what sort of lift would be right for your rig check out our guide on Choosing the Right Type of Boat Lift, and remember that some types (intended mostly for smaller boats), like the ConnectA-Dock Connect-A-Ports and EZ Docks allow you to drive the boat right out of the water and don’t require electricity, cables, or other complex components.

2. Boat Electronics Would navigation be made easier with a new MFD? Maybe a gift that would help when hunting for fish would be in order? Or, perhaps there’s been a communications breakdown and a new VHF radio would be the best gift? Marine electronics are constantly evolving, so upgrading a system that’s more than a few years old is always a good idea. Once you narrow it down to the best bet, you can start considering individual brands and units. 3. Fishing Rods and Reels If you need a gift for an angler, this one’s a no-brainer—there’s not a fisherperson alive who doesn’t love getting new rods and reels. Whether the angler you’re shopping for is into freshwater fishing or they’re a dedicated saltwater fishing aficionado, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from at all different price-points. 4. Emergency Signaling Devices There’s no better way to tell a boater you love them than to get them safetyadding gear like an emergency signaling device. You have several options these days, ranging from electronic flares to satellite text messengers to EPIRBs. These items all share one thing in common: they add a huge safety margin, each and every time the boat leaves the dock. Added bonus: some emergency signaling devices, like Garmin’s in Reach satellite messenger, also allow you to send regular text messages via satellite so you can stay in touch even when you’re far from land. 5. Tow-Toys In the just-plain-fun department, a new tow-toy could be just the nautical knick-

knack you need. We intentionally didn’t specify between wakeboards, water skis, and inflatables, because different people enjoy different tow-sports. But one nifty new option is to give the gift of a Solo SF 150, a sort of mini-boat you control with buttons on the tow handle so you can go water skiing or wakeboarding alone. Whatever type of watersports the person you’re shopping for may favor, remember that each different board or tube offers different riding and performance characteristics. So even if there’s already one board aboard, adding another into the mix can change the dynamics of the experience for your watersports loving gift unwrapper. 6. A Boat Grill The newest, biggest, most expensive boats have gas grills built right in, but the vast majority of the bowriders, center consoles, and pontoon boats out there can’t make that boast. If your family enjoys cooking out, and what family doesn’t?, then getting a grill for the boat could be an awesome way to enhance those long days out on the water. 7. A Bilge Pump A bilge pump might seem like an odd gift item, but let’s get real—few items are more important on any boat. And since many models are built with just one bilge pump, adding a back-up is always a good idea. There are plenty of different pumps to choose from, but one you’ll certainly want to take a peek at is Attwood’s new Sahara Mk2, which eliminates air-lock and won recognition in the Mechanical Systems category in this year’s IBEX Innovations Awards.

8. Safety Harnesses Sailboat owners have their own set of unique needs, and something they may want which you wouldn’t find aboard powerboats are harnesses. Particularly if your special sailor is into racing and he or she likes to push the limits, a strong, light, comfortable harness is a critical piece of safety gear and makes for a gift that’s sure to be appreciated. 9. Boat Trailer Guide-On Bunks Does the trailer-boater you treasure need to take three or four attempts to get his or her boat lined up properly on the trailer? If so, they’re sure to go gaga over a set of guide-on trailer bunks. There vertical posts will help the boat self-center, directing the bow into the proper position every time as the boat goes onto the trailer.

THE Florida MARINER #946 / 21 November 2021

10. Fishing Rod Holders It’s a fact: anglers love rod holders on their boat. And no matter how many they may have, more is always better. One you’ll certainly want to consider is the Rupp Marine Boltless Rod Holder, another 2020 IBEX Innovations Award winner. So find the flush-mounts, rail-mounts, or rocket launchers that will fit your adored angler’s boat and start wrapping. Bonus Gift: A Brand New Boat You say you’ve checked out all these options and they just aren’t good enough? You want to give your loved on the ultimate gift? Well then, there can be no further debate. Head right on over to our Boat Finder tool, pick out the perfect pleasure-craft, and get them a brand new boat!

BoatUS Foundation and Berkley Celebrate Breakthrough Concepts in Fishing Line and Soft Bait Recycling: ‘Recast and Recycle’ Contest Winners Announced

NNAPOLIS, Md. – Recycling old fishing line and soft baits into new products is labor-intensive, inefficient and simply, for many anglers, not easy to do. This hampers the ability to grow the volume of line and soft bait recycling in the U.S. However, three BoatUS Foundation and Berkley Recast and Recycle Contest winners aim to change that. The prizewinners – a recent college grad, an outsdoorsman and 3D printing hobbyist, and a team of four college friends also took home a total of $30,000 in prize money donated by the 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the fishing products manufacturer. “Today’s fishing line and soft bait recycling remains laborintensive and costly,” said BoatUS Foundation Director of Outreach Alanna Keating. “Working with Berkley, our Recast and Recycle Contest sought out new and innovative ideas to improve the recycling process, increase the amount of recycled material, or offer a technology breakthrough in the way line is recycled and reused. We believe these winning entries, which range from a concept to prototype, have the ability to give nearly every angler the opportunity to easily recycle.” The Recast and Recycle Contest’s panel of judges included: NOAA Marine Debris Program Southeast Regional Coordinator, Sarah Latshaw; American Sportfish Association Social Media Manager, Allen Luck; California Coastal Commission Environmental Boating Program Manager, Vivian Matuk; Two-time Bassmaster Classic Champion and outdoor television host Hank Parker; BoatU.S. Magazine Contributing Editor and Angler in Chief of FishTalk Magazine, Lenny Rudow; host of “Zona’s

Abigail Askew’s concept for an eye-catching, stand-alone injection molding machine took top honors in the BoatUS Foundation and Berkley Recast and Recycle Contest, and earned her $15,000 in prize money. (credit: Abigail Askew) Awesome Fishing Show” and “The Bassmasters,” Mark Zona; and BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water President Chris Edmonston. First Prize: Before she began designing her winning concept, recent Savannah College of Art and Design graduate Abigail Askew designed her own survey to query anglers on what prevented them from recycling line and baits. She then addressed those concerns with her contest concept, which doubled as her school’s senior year capstone project. “Anglers want to do what’s best for the environment, but I found they don’t always know how to

or have a way to recycle,” said Askew, who also competed on her school’s bass fishing team. Recycling accessibility became her contest entry’s primary goal, and her idea netted her a $15,000 prize. Askew’s theoretical design repurposes an idea from old: colorful, eye-catching 1960s-style plastic souvenir machines. The “Berkley Recycling Machine” brings line and bait recycling out into the open, instead of throwing discarded line into a beat-up cardboard box under the counter at your local retailer. The injection-molding machine also has appeal for kids, who, while watching discarded soft baits get a second life, also learn the importance of keeping our waters clean. The young designer, who earned her B.F.A. in Industrial Design, offers that machines could be located in retailers and at launch sites, becoming a popular novelty. Second Prize: Reeling in $10,000 in prize money, Eric Vaughn’s prototype “Integrated Line De-Spooler” has the potential to make recycling safer and more efficient, and better answers the question of what to do with old fishing line when respooling with new line. An active angler and bow hunter, Vaughn says it was his 3D printing hobby that brought the entry to life. Vaughn’s innovative engineering solution inserts a new, smaller spool, used to take up old line that has had hooks removed, into a standard line spool, essentially “nesting” the spools in the existing empty space found inside spools sold at retailers today. This allows anglers to quickly and efficiently manage the despool/respool process. Once the old line is removed and stored on the small spool by way of a special chuck

(included) and electric drill, it’s snapped neatly back into the standard size spool where the new line awaits easy spooling to your reel – functioning the same as it does normally. Locking in the old line on the small spool also makes it easier to recycle and reduces the chances of snagging wildlife. This recycling solution can also be incorporated into existing packaging and turned into pellets to create new spools, offering benefits to manufacturers. Third Prize: A team of Product Design Innovation students from Western Michigan University, Laura Nicholas, Anna Hurst, Maxwell Downey, and Ross Malackowski, took third place and $5,000 in prize money with their “Hook Bait” app that encourages the use of sustainable alternatives. By scanning a QR code at recycling centers, the app records what you recycle and gives rewards − eco-friendly fishing supplies based on the individual fishing style − for reaching milestones. These incentives could include hip waders or water shoes made from the recycled fishing materials. The app also offers the ability to track your recycling progress, includes a map to see what friends are catching, offers a journal to save photos of fish caught and important fishing information such as lures and location, and makes it easy to post on social media. The BoatUS Foundation and Berkley hope to raise awareness of these prizewinning concepts to help support further research and development. A video of the winning entries and more can be found at the Recast and Recycle website, BoatUS.org/Contest.

Captain’sCorner

www.TheMariner.com

with Captain Ray Markham Last weekend’s cold front shot a blast of air down that cooled inshore waters in much of the area nearly 10-degrees. Nearshore waters got stirred up slowing the kingfish bite sending most out to cleaner waters. This coming weekend could see another front that will put your plans to the task again. Keep an eye on the weather. OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE Prior to last week’s cold front anglers working nearshore and offshore waters caught a plethora of snapper species in depths ranging from 60feet of water out to over 200-feet. Gag grouper made a terrific showing for some of the largest reported yet this year along with good numbers of them. The Hubbard’s Marina party boats running a 39-hour trip had some terrific catches of a huge variety of fish including grunts, lane (released), vermillion, mangrove, and yellowtail snapper, porgies, white grunts, scamp and gag grouper, hogfish, Spanish, and king mackerel, almaco jacks, wahoo, and tunas. It’s proof that being there in the right place and the right time is what it’s all about. Saturday’s bad weather and high winds prompted the Old Salt King of the Beach Tournament to postpone the fishing until Sunday. Hitting offshore wrecks, reefs, hard bottom with

high relief and structure will likely produce the best results around times when fronts move in and just after they leave. Deep waters take little time to recover from storms, while the shallower nearshore waters remain turbid, keeping many species of fish from returning until the water clears. INSHORE Many areas in the West Central Region that were affected by red tide continue to show poor results for anglers fishing them. But for those areas where fish either moved to or remained unaffected, the fishing has been good. North of Clearwater seems to have been spared the brunt of the red tide fish kill. Coastal waters continue to see greater numbers of tripletail being caught around stone crab traps, lines, and floats along with floating objects and pilings. Capt. Rick Grassett out of Sarasota has been targeting tripletail with his anglers and catching them along with Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and speckled trout on DOA Lures and Clouser Minnow flies. Grassett reported releasing trout over 20-inches. Upper portions of Sarasota Bay have been producing some snook and

with Captain Kyle Messier Florida fishing friends the time has finally arrived when we all can walk out of our homes and feel that slight hint of fall weather against our cheeks. To most Floridians the beginning of fall is like stepping on a small Lego in the middle of the night that you never saw coming. After months of sweating in humid 80 -90 weather, that initial unknown step outside wearing nothing more than a short sleeve shirt, Salt Life board shorts and flip flops only to find out that the taste of fall has been waiting on your door step to smack you right in the face is enough to take your breathe away and send you running back inside hoping to God that you can remember where you stashed that sweatshirt you were last wearing back in March. Now, in my case I know exactly where my sweatshirt is at all times. It’s rolled up and stored right next to my rain jacket collection and two pairs of pants that only see action a few months out of the year (#FloridaLife). But going forward it appears that long sleeves and pant legs will become the norm now that all signs of fall are here. To Florida anglers the signs of fall are obvious. White Pelicans flying overhead are usually the first indicator followed by extreme lower tides and water temperatures . Here along the Nature Coast shallow water anglers covet the extreme lower

tides as this indicates the beginning of our season for targeting tailing Black Drum and Red Drum (Redfish). Extreme negative tides are usually easy to predict, as they’re associated with the Full or New moons every month. During these tides, water levels can recede on certain flats to the point where they’re rendered high and dry and completely exposed. Such tidal situations are ideal for targeting both Black Drum and Redfish, as they tend to feed heavily while there is water in anticipation of having to take up refuge in deeper water areas such as potholes or channel edges when the tide drops out. Both of these species will gorge themselves up until the water levels are basically ankle deep often exposing their tails in the process. There is nothing more exciting than poling down a pristine shallow water flat and witnessing the sight of a beautiful bronze tail flapping about on the surface as a hefty Redfish tries to dig out a crab from the mud. Targeting tailing fish in extreme shallow water requires a stealthy approach which is where a technical poling skiff really helps to tip the odds in the favor of the angler. Light lines and accurate casts add to the challenge level but when targeting tailing fish anglers need to remember that they are

West Central Florida Southwest Coast trout near Palma Sola Bay. The South Shore of Tampa Bay and Cockroach Bay continues to hold redfish and snook worthy of targeting. The upper bay around Double Branch is holding some larger snook. Deep holes in Riviera Bay are holding redfish and snook. Portions of Weedon Island are producing some action with redfish on Eppinger Rex Spoons and CAL Jigs with Shad tails. FRESHWATER Capt. Angie Douthit of www. southfloridabassfishing.com has been reporting excellent action down in Lake Okeechobee this month. Bass and crappie action has been hot, but Douthit says the best action is yet to come. It will just continue to get better and better as we get into December through spring when crappie school up in greater numbers to spawn. For some good action down on the “Big O”, Capt. Angie can be reached to book charters at 863-228-7263. ‘Til then…I’ll catch ya later!

West Florida targeting actively feeding fish. Just get the fly, shrimp, or lure in front of them without spooking them and it’s off to the races watching the line peel of the reel. FISH ON!!!!! NEARSHORE REPORT When water levels drop to the point where both flats boats and bay boats are rendered useless there are still great options just offshore that many anglers are taking advantage of as we speak. How does casting plugs for Gag Grouper sound on light tackle? The Nature Coast of Florida is home to thousands of rocks, wrecks, reefs, and ledges that Gag Grouper of all sizes love. Trolling and Casting lipped diving lures such as Rapala’s and YoZuri’s was refined and perfected off our coast during the 90’s and to this day it’s still one of the most prominent Gag Grouper fisheries in Florida. Grouper’s ranging between 6-10lbs are common and it’s not unheard of to do battle with larger Grouper in the 18-25lb range on a regular basis when water temperatures drop and most fish move inshore. For those looking to do battle with one of Florida’s most sought after species now maybe the time to hit the water and give it a shot.

with Captain James Jackson November Lake Toho fishing report It’s finally time, the fall feeding bonanza has swung into full effect! And it’s far better than I would’ve expected. The last few cold fronts we’ve had have turned on a feeding frenzy! So much so that on our shiner trips we’ve had to recommend extra bait because we’ve been running out early.

And for artificials, the topwater bite has been the best it has been all year. Since the FWC (Florida Wildlife Commission) has been leaving much greater amounts of hydrilla in the lake we’ve seen a fish population explosion over the last year. But no other time has it shown itself to be more evident then now. In many different areas throughout the lake the bass (big and small) have grouped up into massive schools chasing shad and shiners around endlessly feeding to fatten themselves up for the winter spawn. The fish remain congregated in ideal eel grass and hydrilla beds where the water is cleaner and also on certain

Facebook: @TDdetail tddetailing941@gmail.com It was Worth’s birthday tomorrow so he got to fish with his dad Steven today. The guys just wanted to catch some fish not caring what it was. Well, we had to work for it. The spots we fished were slow, at least not what I am used to. The TN guys were hooking fish such as jacks and snappers but it was not red hot as I expected. With 40 minutes left I told them we would go for the home run and bonefish. Well, well that worked out. As the trip was coming to and end and the rain bands began to move in the guys hooked four bonefish and got a double header in 15 minutes before we headed back trying to outrun a few storms. WOW!!!! First timer scores!

But if you’re into artificial fishing, that has been productive also. As stated earlier the topwater bite is at it’s best and the best thing to start with for the first hour or so, but it has extended far beyond that some day’s. The bass are keyed in on the bait right now so the lures you’re going to use are going to reflect that. Jerkbaits, Flukes, Rattletraps,

shell beds and brush piles offshore. The bait is the key during the fall. Whichever area you choose, if you’re not around the bait, you’re not around the bass either. So keep moving until you start catching them cause once you do, you’re liable to keep catching and catching. As always the live shiner bite has been the best and are what you’re going to get the most out of your day with. We’ve been averaging 25+ bass on 4 hour trips and 35+ on 6 hour or more trips with shiners.

I had a last minute change of plans for Christian and his son Christian. With the breezy morning I took advantage of the

tide and fished for bonefish as Christian wanted, wait which of the two Christians? Anyway, dad hooked up and landed a nice bonefish. As the tide continued on it’s way out the fishing got slower. I decided to end the trip by working different flats but they were pretty slow. I would have loved a few more bonefish but I can tell you Christian was on a high getting his first bonefish and so was I.

Central Florida

and Spinnerbaits are the main lures. As long as you’re around the bait we’ve been catching them. The fact that the fishing on Lake Toho is better than anyone of us could of predicted right now is an amazing sign for the up coming months. And just the thought of what the fishing might be like during the winter spawn in January, February, and March is getting me excited. If you’ve been planning to fish Lake Toho, now through March is sure looking to be one for the books. Bass wishes.

Southeast Coast That didn’t take long!

It was a dark and stormy...

I hadn’t fished with Ethan in a few years as he’s in college now and busy but guess who his cousin is, David from last Sunday! This means that David was back on board today with Ethan and we had to pick our plan carefully due to the coming cold front and nasty weather. Well, after going 0-4 on snook I loaded up the live well with live pilchards and off we went to fish some shallow wrecks. It wasn’t long until the boys were hooking up but boy we got rained on for a good while as the winds increased. The highlight was Ethan hooking and landing a massive mutton snapper on a light bonefish rod but there was steady action on smaller muttons and big mangrove snappers as well. Nice! I have to tell you the run back to the marina was no fun but we got back.

Mike fishes with me several times a year for three days each time and Mike is a really laid back and cool guy and today we got a hot start. We began by taking advantage of the calm conditions and looked for bonefish on fly. Not long after Mike gets a bite but missed it. Then a few minutes later he sweet talked a bonefish into eating and got his first of the day. Nice! From there we moved to to snook which were MIA, on fly anyway, and finished the morning loading the livewell with live pilchards. The plan was to fish structure and live chum so Mike could get a mutton on fly but the wrecks were slow. However, the last wreck we fished paid off and as I lived chummed Mike kept tossing the fly and caught snapper, yellow jacks, trigger fish (yes trigger fish on fly!) small amberjack, bluefish and blue runners. In the process he had a huge barracuda try to eat one of his hooked fish and then a big black tip shark also tried the same thing a while later. We wrapped it up and headed back. What a fun day with a great guy!

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to

www.TheMariner.com the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free 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. 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.

The temporary certificate is valid for 12 months from the issue date. Boating Skills and Seamanship Programs are presented by the U.S.C.G.

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 “Virtual Boat America” course options: December 18th & 19th. All classes are from 9am to 2pm.

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.
