Godfrey Announces New Layouts for Legendary Sanpan Pontoons

E

lkhart, Ind. – Godfrey Marine, manufacturer of pontoons built with enduring quality and superior craftsmanship, announced today the launch of 19 all-new layouts for the storied Sanpan line for model year 2022. Godfrey Pontoon Boats introduced the first allaluminum pontoon boat, Sanpan, at the Chicago Boat Show in 1958. It continues to raise the bar with a newly redesigned, first-class interior, with enhanced convenience throughout and industryleading materials. The Sanpan models are the pinnacle of luxury and showcase amenities for almost any on-the-water activity.

The entire Sanpan lineup was redesigned with dynamic styling and undeniable luxury. New vinyl color options with eyecatching accent colors are made out of smooth Simtex vinyl for exceptional durability, UV resistance and strength for a sleek aesthetic. To add to the luxury of the boating experience, the perfectly sculpted deluxe captain and co-captain chairs deliver all-day comfort for cruising, relaxing, or simply sharing the moment.

They have adjustable pedestals with an elevated helm seat that provides a commanding view for better situational awareness. The upgraded standard Garmin® touchscreen control center is

8

more prominent and increased from 9- to 12-inches. The fishfinder and chartplotter provide the captain with navigation information, boat speed and engine RPMs. It also allows users to control the RGB lighting throughout the entire boat, including in cupholders and underwater lighting and the Fusion® Platinum LEDlit speakers. Programmable soft-touch buttons enable owners to create onetouch activation of their most-used gauge, lighting and accessory combinations.

Even the simplest of details have been re-imagined. There is a nonskid inductive charging pad at the helm, and throughout the boat, there are USB/USB-C charging ports to keep mobile devices at full power.

The captain’s cup holder is electrically cooled and new for this model year, and the standard stainless steel integrated cleats are now offered in black.

“Our team put a great deal of thought and care into every aspect of the Godfrey Sanpan,” said Andrea Malleck, product manager, Godfrey Marine. “The quality of the fit and finish of the Sanpan line feels almost bespoke, with hull selection, deck layouts and a customizability that allows the discerning customer to pick the perfect dreamboat for you and your family.”

THE Florida MARINER #950 / 16 January 2022

New models include the Sanpan Split Bench, Sanpan Lounge, Sanpan Windshield and Sanpan Twin. The Split Bench allows guests to stretch out and relax with bow and stern lounge seating available in 23- to 27-foot lengths complemented by co-captain’s chairs in an open-deck design. The Lounge has all-new smooth, dynamic styling and firstclass interior in lengths from 23- and 27feet with capacity up to 18 people. The Windshield models are available in 25- to 27-foot configurations and deliver port

to starboard wind protection. The Twin models available in 27-foot length, offer a ride like no other. Experience double the power unleashed on the water for a oneof-a-kind boating experience.

How to Choose a Life Raft for Your Boat

W

ho needs a life raft? Chances are, you do if you’re planning to do coastal or blue water passage making. It’s an insurance item that you hope you don’t need and don’t want to spend much money on but don’t get tempted to go cheap, or worse, without.

A life raft serves as a floating platform to keep you out of the water in case your primary vessel sinks or catches fire. Some people choose to forgo a life raft and opt instead to use their dinghy or inflatable as a secondary source of buoyancy in case of disaster. These may work on lakes, rivers and in near-coastal areas where rescue may be imminent.

They will allow you to stay out of the water to avoid hypothermia and possible shark attack, and they’re bigger targets in the water than your head, so they increase your chances of being seen and rescued.

However, your tender isn’t likely to do the job on the open ocean in large waves and high winds and that’s where a life raft comes in.

Life raft basics Recreational life rafts generally have a four, six or eight-person capacity. They come packed in either a fiberglass canister that is mounted on a cradle on deck or in a soft-sided valise so it can be stored in a locker or below. Rafts are automatically deployed with a compressed gas cylinder. Cost depends on size and type but usually ranges $2,000-$6,000.

Weight (typically 30-80 pounds for a valise and upwards of 170 pounds for canister versions) is a key

issue especially for rafts that will have to be moved and thrown off the boat manually.

conditions and shorter stays. If you’re passage making, you’ll need an offshore raft.

Life rafts can be divided into two categories: inshore or coastal and offshore or ocean-crossing. ISO 9650 Type-2 rafts are designed for navigating in coastal and inshore waters where rescue is likely within 24 hours. These generally have a single buoyancy tube, they may or may not have a canopy, they come basically equipped and are they’re lighter and less expensive.

• Your size and type of boat will come into play but not as much as you think. A small sailboat or day cruiser may not have much space for a canister life raft but again, it’s about where you boat more than what you boat on. If deck space is limited, choose a valise life raft that can be stored below deck.

Transoceanic life rafts are designed for more serious conditions and are more ruggedly built with additional and larger ballast bags and selfrighting inflating canopies. They have an extensive equipment list including a drogue (sea anchor) to help with stability and to minimize drift away from your originally reported position. These rafts usually come with insulated inflatable floors for thermal protection and more comprehensive inspection ports so you can spot a rescue vessel on the horizon.

Choosing a life raft Your choice of life raft will depend on several factors: • Assess your cruising area and your overall needs.

If you normally boat on small bodies of water in an open boat, a dinghy or inflatable may suffice. If you’re cruising or racing within a few miles of shore, consider a coastal life raft. They’re smaller and less expensive but also designed for more benign

• Don’t oversize. If you normally boat as a couple with occasional guests, get a four-person raft.

USCG-approved rafts should have a minimum of four square feet per person, which isn’t much.

Although it’s true that tempers flare when you can’t stretch out and get rest, bigger isn’t always better. You want to have a good weight/square foot ratio to keep the raft from capsizing in high winds and waves. Also, a tight fit ensures the preservation of body heat.

for new. For intermittent use, consider renting.

Depending on size, trip duration and rating, the cost to rent a life raft is about $500-$1000 and there are several reputable service organizations that will provide you a well-packed, certified raft for a crossing or an offshore race.

A relatively small segment of the boating population truly needs a life raft. The rest can rely on their dinghy or inflatable but there’s no substitute for offshore safety so consider your needs, do your research, make a budget and make the purchase because if things go wrong, the reason to spend money on this piece of insurance is right in the name – life raft.

• Consider your budget. If money is tight, think about purchasing a pre-owned life raft that has been recertified professionally by the raft manufacturer or specialized raft service station. Purchasing a used name-brand life raft will be better than going cheap

allas, Texas – Suntex Marina Investors, LLC (Suntex), the premier owner and operator of best-inclass marina properties, announced today another addition to its growing portfolio with the acquisition of Caloosa Marina located in Islamorada in the Florida Keys.

Situated on approximately 15 acres just 1.5 hours east of Key West and 2 hours south of Miami, Caloosa Cove is a destination property with a general and ship store, roadside and marina fuel, an ocean-view restaurant, and a resort with apartment-style units with ocean views from all rooms.

The marina consists of approximately 32 wet slips that can accommodate vessels up to 65-feet and 88 dry slips for boats up to 34-feet. Of the dry slips approximately 76 are covered in a hurricane-rated barn. The adjoining vacation ownership resort has 30 apartment style units overlooking the ocean and marina. The Safari Bar & Grill is a historic oceanfront bar and restaurant, popular with locals and tourists, that is newly remodeled and slated to open under a new name in summer of 2022. Most of the property has been recently refurbished, with plans underway to continue the renovation.

“This purchase provides Suntex with a unique opportunity to continue to expand upon our holdings in the Florida Keys and our footprint in the South Florida market,” said David Filler, Head of Investments, Suntex Marinas. “The marina is a first-class facility with full amenities and fits well into our portfolio of other iconic, first-class facilities.”

“Caloosa Cove is poised to be a premier facility in one of the most desirable locations,” said Sam Chavers, Senior Vice President, Operations, Suntex Marinas. “The existing

facility is an excellent foundation to which we can add our exceptional customer service and dedicated management style, as well as investment in the level of fit and finish to build a truly incredible Florida Keys marina that guests will remember for a lifetime.”

Each year, thousands of commercial, recreational and pleasure boaters visit the Florida Keys to fish, dive, snorkel and enjoy a wealth of activities on the water, including kayaking and paddle board sports. The Florida Keys’ surrounding waters are protected by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, extending from south of Miami westward to encompass the Dry Tortugas. The Sanctuary has spectacular resources such as coral reefs, shipwrecks, seagrass beds and active fisheries. Islamorada attracts more than 680,000 visitors per year.

The Suntex portfolio includes marinas located in California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee and Virginia. For more information on Suntex Marina Investors LLC, or the complete portfolio of Suntex marinas, please contact or visit www.suntex.com

Mercury Marine Earns 11th Consecutive Green Masters Designation

F

OND DU LAC, Wis. (Dec. 15, 2021) — For the 11th consecutive year, Mercury Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE:BC), has earned a Green Masters designation from the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council (WSBC). Once again, Mercury achieved a score within the top 20% of all applicants to earn the designation.

The Green Masters Program measures companies on a broad range of sustainability categories ranging from energy and water conservation to waste management, community outreach and education. In addition, companies are evaluated in the contexts of transportation, supply chain, workforce and governance.

“We are thrilled to earn a Green Masters designation for an 11th consecutive year,” said Chris Drees, Mercury Marine president.

“Mercury continues to set a new standard for sustainability within the marine industry and the state of Wisconsin, and I am proud of the commitment from our team as we have achieved very ambitious business goals to support our global channel partners.”

WSBC’s Green Masters Program requires applicants to cite sustainable business practices and initiatives undertaken in the past

year and to show improvement over previous years. In 2021, Mercury’s sustainability achievements include the following:

learn more about the company’s sustainability initiatives at www.MercuryMarine.com/en/ us/land/sustainability.

• Installation of the first solar array located on the company’s world‑headquarters campus in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The collection of rooftop solar panels will generate enough electricity to light the warehouse operation for the next 30 years.

• Launch of the Mercury 7.6‑liter V12 600hp Verado outboard. The 600hp Verado outboard leverages several proprietary Mercury technologies to provide sustainability benefits that include superior fuel efficiency, low emissions and the industry’s best mitigation of engine noise and vibration.

• Achievement of a zero‑waste‑to‑landfill designation for Mercury’s Land ‘N’ Sea/ Kellogg Marine warehouse, shipping and receiving operation.

• Application of new technologies in propeller manufacturing to reduce landfill disposal and wastewater.

• Other noteworthy efforts include employee volunteerism, mentorship of area youth in STEM disciplines and ensuring the health and safety of employees by hosting COVID‑19 vaccine clinics.

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - 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 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 2022 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.

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 mutuallyconvenient 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. Call 727-898-1324 to find an inspector or go to www.cgaux.org/vsc/.

CLEARWATER COAST GUARD AUXILIARY TEACHING BOATING SAFETY CLASSES ONLINE - 2022 - 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.

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. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www. clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr. auxboating@gmail.com or call 727-469-8895.

SARASOTA FLOTILLA 82 OF THE USCG AUXILIARY Florida law requires that any person born on or after Jan. 1, 1988, may not operate a vessel powered by a motor of 10 horsepower or greater unless such person has in his or her possession, aboard the vessel, photographic identification, a Florida boater safety identification card (or any other state’s boating card), and the registration for their vessel. Regarding the above law, which has been in effect for over a year, Flotilla 82 of the USCG Auxiliary, based in Sarasota, Florida (at Mote Marine) offers a 1-day course held on the last Saturday of each month.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Ray Markham The New Year brought some mixed weather situations with a cold front and some windy days. While we’re getting into the heart of winter, it doesn’t appear that we have any severe weather ahead. Weather predictions can be wrong, so always monitor the weather channel when on the water and plan accordingly.

OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE Drift fishing hard bottom areas for red grouper where rock bottom meets sand will produce some fish and allow you to cover a lot of area.

Save the spots that produce, but like all fish, they can move and be gone the next time you’re out. Red grouper season reopened last Saturday. Anglers bottom dropping in nearshore waters between 70-and 100-foot depths were rewarded with some nice fish.

Mangrove, vermilion, and lane snapper were still actively feeding in that range as well.

Hogfish can be caught begging in about 40feet of water and are still in the catch along with grunts, porgies, and an occasional Spanish or king mackerel. The Egmont Key Ship’s Channel has been producing a few macks. If you’re fishing that area on either side of the channel, be prepared for an early arrival of some cobia. A few cobia were reported being caught over the past couple of weeks in that area. Target buoys , channel markers, and stone crab traps. While you’re at it, be ready to toss a bait to tripletail that remain in the area and along the beaches and inside some of the bays.

Deepwater fishing between 150 and 250-feet can produce some big red grouper along with some scamp grouper. Be prepared for some blackfin tuna and even some dolphin.

Both were caught over the past week.

INSHORE The past couple of weeks have seen snook feeding heavily up rivers and on

NOW LET’S GET TO THE FISHING: What an incredible last few months of fishing we have had here along the Nature Coast. Extremely unseasonably warm weather has been the major headline as of late and it’s because of this warmer weather that our shallow water Grouper fishing has continued to be off the charts in water depths ranging from 5-7ft. Casting lipped plugs has been a huge success this season and when the conditions are right we have actually been able to witness a numerous amount of our strikes. That’s Right Folks!!! Sight fishing Grouper is a thing here!!!

points adjacent to deep water. A variety of lures have been working, including DOA Shrimp, CAL Jigs with Shad Tails, MirrOlure 17MR18 MirrOdines, and 7MR26 lures. Look for residential canals around the east side of Tampa Bay to produce some nice fish as well as Cockroach Bay. Cockroach has also been a mecca for redfish in the Tampa Bay area.

Anglers fishing from Bishop’s Harbor south to the Manatee River are also seeing some good action with snook and reds. Sand bars near Joe Bay, Anna Maria, Pass-A-Grille, and Fort Desoto have seen some pompano action for anglers chucking both DOA root beer colored TerrorEyz and Yellow Doc’s Goofy Jigs with pink teasers.

seem to be around. Look for an occasional redfish around Tidy Island or Long Bar on the east side, and Jewfish, Sister’s Keys, and Whale Key on the west side. Capt. Rick Grassett, fishing out of CB Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, has been catching some snook around dock lights and bridge pilings on his night fly fishing trips. CAL Jigs with Shad tails are accounting for an occasional redfish, some trout, and bluefish that round out most trips in that area. Tripletail have been on swim buoys along the beaches.

FLORIDA KEYS FISHING TOURNAMENTS: 2021-2022 Florida Keys Fishing Tournaments Calendar - Long popular, these fishing events provide a chance for some friendly Florida Keys fishing competition to see who’s going to go home with the next big saltwater trophy. These exhilarating tournament fishing contests attract entrants the same way sailfish are drawn to ballyhoo. You can fish singly, in groups, or even team up with Key West fishing guides for the very popular Cuda Bowl held each year.So whether your idea of fun is going to Key West fly fishing for permit, Islamorada deep sea fishing for sailfish, Key Largo back country fishing, or Marathon tarpon fishing, there’s a fish tournament for you. Since fishing in Florida Keys is always good, there’s typically a fishing tournament going on some where in the Florida Keys. This also means that some fishing tournaments will occur during the rainy season. Visit https://www.florida-keys-vacation.com/Florida-KeysFishing-Tournaments.html

Areas north of Clearwater around barrier islands have been productive for snook, big redfish, and some large trout.

BASSONLINE.COM/FL/ - The ultimate Florida Fishing Experience. Explore your Bass Fishing Opportunities!

Big jack crevalle and loads of ladyfish have been running through various areas on the flats, devouring everything in their paths.

While most anglers might avoid them, jacks are extremely hard fighters for their size, and many fly anglers enjoy the fight and aerobatic display that ladyfish provide. Ladyfish will fray lines with their rough mouths, so a trace of a 30-pound leader will help prevent break-offs.

FRESHWATER Regardless of how cold it is, anglers are still catching specks (aka crappie). Most will agree that the dead mid of winter produces the best catches since these fish school together and spawn during this time. Look for them in deep holes ranging from 6 to 10-feet deep.

Lake Manatee down in Bradenton has been producing some nice specks as well as bass and bluegill. Bass are hammering surface poppers and sliders. Specks are being caught on small Clouser Minnows tied on #8 hooks using sinking or sink tip lines. For all anglers, and especially fly anglers, the tug is the drug.

Much of the Tampa Bay area, and particularly the west side of the bay, still is not producing many trout.

Areas of Sarasota bay a r e seeing a few larger trout in the 17-to 20inch range being caught but a few smaller fish

with Captain Kyle Messier Tis the season to wish all of my fishing friends a Happy New Year!

It was not to long ago most of us were wondering if we were going to be able to fish together again. Times have changed and I am extremely thankful for all of the great people who made the trip to Crystal River and Homosassa to fish with myself and all of the other team members of Reel Florida Fishing Charters this year. It’s because of all of you that our 2021 was a Memorable One!!!

www.TheMariner.com

Now that the New Year is here, and our shallow water Grouper season comes to a close, anglers will still have plenty of options to choose from in the shallows as Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, and Snook will all be top targets going forward. As temperatures continue to cool Redfish especially will light up around mangrove edges and oyster flats. Sight fishing these bronze bruisers is ideal this time of year especially when the tides are extremely low with sunny conditions. Targeting tailing fish is some of the most fun fishing our area has to offer throughout the year and the months from JanuaryMarch are Prime Time for giving it a shot.

If you have never targeted tailing Redfish in ankle deep water before you don’t know what your missing.

A tailing fish is a feeding fish and the soft presentation of a live shrimp or shrimp pattern fly is all that’s needed for an immediate strike. The beauty of poling these same shallow flats is that often we come into contact with other species as well like the Snook and

West Florida Sheepshead, both of which will readily take the same live shrimp or fly.

As aggressive as Snook are throughout the year often during the winter months these fish will lazily cruise the shallows in search of easy meals. Often Snook will only eat sporadically throughout a day as they do not want to exert too much energy in colder conditions.

To combat this unique feeding phase throwing larger baits, flies and lures is advised as one big meal requires exerting less energy than eating numerous little meals. Large Shrimp, Pinfish, Twitchbaits, and EP Baitfish flies are sure to excite any hungry Snook patrolling the Nature Coast this time of year.

With so much to be thankful for in 2021 lets not forget the people whom impacted our lives last year.

We only have one life to live, why not work towards enjoying every day we have together. Look forward to fishing together again in 2022 folks.

with Captain James Jackson The bass fishing on Toho remains solid as we move closer to the peak winter time spawn in January, February, and March. Fish continue to constantly chase shad and shiners around feeding up for the upcoming months where they will be at their biggest. They’re already getting fat, really fat, and not because they’re filling up with eggs but because they’re filling up with so much bait! They’re all beginning to weigh more and more.

Orlando bass fishing We continue to be averaging catching 20- 30 on our 4 hour trips, and on our longer trips some days well over 40 bass on live bait! But with the recent cold fronts the artificial bite has become inconsistent. So we recommend going with the live bait to get the most out of your day right now.

same pattern that they were on last month. And that’s bait. The bulk of the fish in the lake are all congregated around large groups of shiners and shad in open water, feeding up for the upcoming spawn in the winter.

Finding the bait is the key to staying on good fish all day.

They’re all congregated together right now, the big fish and the little. So once you find a group of fish you have to just keep catching them and you’ll pick off the big ones. Some bass have begun to move shallower in certain areas but the bulk of the bass are all still offshore on hydrilla, eel grass, and on the outside kissimmee grass edges.

Double up on the lake

with Captain Rick Brady

The weather has been absolutely perfect and the deep sea fishing in fort Lauderdale has had it’s moments but has been erratic giving us a strong day with a number of fish and other days with Sailfish and then presenting us and the entire fleet with a day that despite having near perfect fishing conditions and fine weather to boot is a very difficult day. As we all are aware such is fishing and we take pleasure in large and small fish and large and lesser numbers, but a reasonable amount of cooperation from the fish is always appreciated by anglers and crew alike. That said we have had some good fish. But again, not every day. Enjoy the photos of anglers. Big fish, small fish, lots of

schooling and chasing bait. But the bulk of the fish are being caught off of jerkbaits and flukes as they best resemble the bait that they are chasing right now. Rattletraps have been working in these areas also, along with speedworms and chatterbaits swam through thicker grass.

The bass fishing on Lake Toho continues to remain consistently good as it has throughout this whole year! And this winter peak season is setting up to be an absolute extravaganza. And that may be the first time I’ve ever used that word! So if you’re looking to do some bass fishing down in Orlando Florida this winter, now’s the time to book because January, February, and March is our busiest time of year and days book up fast!

fish and not so many fish.

As the first few weeks of 2022 draw to a close, we continue to be blessed with good weather and good ocean conditions for our fishing charters as well. Very comfortable days now as what seems to be the entire rest of the country has poor if not horrible weather this week.

We have had some very nice fish but we have also struggled with catches on some charters. This is not unusual for this time of year and the roller coaster ride of actual catches will continue to fluctuate for a while. We very much look forward to frontal systems here in South Florida as often a fishing charter in Ft. Lauderdale is tied closely to the passing frontal systems.

Southeast Coast anywhere the fronts typically bring an uptick in the wind. So we trade a typical sea condition for one bringing a little bounce. Sometimes more than a little bounce. So we chip away at what the ocean gives us with good catches and not so good catches and ourselves readily accept a little bounce with the hope of more opportunities at fish.

Fun either way when you love the water, any water fresh or salt, and the company and spending the day on the hunt.
