OWNER OPERATED

239-543-2100 WWW.OWLCREEKBOATWORKS.COM

NNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 15, 2022 – A rite of passage for every boater is the annual spring commissioning.

Newly added to the boat owners to-do list this spring will be to check all disposable (non-rechargeable) fire extinguisher dates of manufacture, as well as the label for their U.S. Coast Guard classification.

That’s because a new U.S. Coast Guard regulation beginning April 20 for disposable fire extinguishers mandates a 12-year expiration date from the date of manufacture. Boaters can find the manufacture date stamped into the bottom of the bottle or near the UL label. This may be two or four digits — if it is two, as in 08, that means 2008. Additionally, while the new regulation does not change the type (U.S. Coast Guard-rated) or quantity or requirement for USCG approved fire extinguishers aboard, it does specify the minimum Underwriter Laboratory (UL) classification of extinguishers to be carried aboard certain vessels — depending on the boat’s model year.

This is the result of phasing out older “B-I” and “B-II” labels for newer “5-B” “10B” and “20-B” extinguisher classifications.

The number in this new rating refers to the size in square feet of the potential fire the device is suitable to extinguish and not the exact weight of the dry chemical inside the bottle.

Vessels on the water today that are less than 26 feet and model year 2017 or older may continue to carry older, dated or undated “B-I” or “B-II” disposable extinguishers. However, when they are no longer serviceable or have reached 12 years of age since manufacture, they must be replaced with newer class “5-B” or greater extinguishers. Boats less than 26

feet and 2018 model year or newer must carry unexpired “5-B” “10-B” or “20-B” fire extinguishers. Having older “B-I” and “B-II” types do not meet the new carriage requirements.

Many retailers today offer “10-B” class fire extinguishers, which may be a good choice as they exceed U.S. Coast Guard minimum carriage requirements for boats under 26 feet, while at the same time giving boaters more extinguishing coverage. For boats 26 feet or greater, however, having one “10-B” aboard does not equal two 5-Bs. Only a “20B” classification meets the requirement to carry two “5-B” extinguishers. For a look at how many and what type of fire extinguishers are needed aboard all recreational boats up to 65 feet, go to BoatUS.org/Fire-Extinguishers.

BoatUS strongly recommends going beyond the regulation’s minimum requirements. The results from a Foundation-sponsored boat burn showed that one extinguisher may give very little time to make an emergency call or potentially prepare to abandon your vessel.

BoatUS also notes that most U.S. Coast Guard disposables on the market today carry at least a dual B:C rating, able to douse both liquids and electrical fires, and some boat owners wisely prefer triple rated A:B:C extinguishers, adding a third protection for combustible fires.

To be serviceable, a portable extinguisher must have a pressure gauge indicating an operable range, lock pin firmly installed, clean discharge nozzle, and no significant corrosion or damage.

Some more recently manufactured portable fire extinguishers aboard boats today may carry both old and new

labeling, for example, having simultaneous “B-I” and “5-B” classifications.

There are no changes to rechargeable or fixed-mount (i.e., engine room) extinguisher regulations. They continue to require regular maintenance and servicing, typically done annually by a technician.

“This new U.S. Coast Guard expiration date regulation aligns with the 12-years recommended by the National Fire Protection Association,” said BoatUS Foundation Assistant Director of Boating Safety Ted Sensenbrenner. “We expect that the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and United States Power Squadrons vessel safety check program will soon include this new regulation as part of their free, no-penalty vessel exams. Because this change affects a critical piece of safety equipment aboard your boat, we also expect the U.S. Coast Guard will initially focus on education. You may want to start checking extinguishers now while your boat may be ashore this winter.”

Sensenbrenner adds, “Also take a look now to ensure your fire extinguishers are readily accessible. You can buy only the bracket if you don’t have one and mount your extinguishers where they need to be — at points of egress, at the helm, and near the engine and fuel supply. Burying them in the bottom of a compartment ensures they will be hard to reach when you need them the most. Familiarizing yourself with the PASS method (Point, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep) will prepare you for fighting a small fire aboard.”

For more information on the new requirement, as well as frequently asked questions and an infographic, go to www. uscgboating.org.

Kanberra™ The Original All Natural Air Purifier™

K

anberra has over 25 years of experience in treating odors. Founded in 1993, Kanberra is based out of Buffalo, NY and prides itself on being the gold standard for all-natural cleaners and the original inventor of using Tea Tree Oil Airborne to clean, protect, and purify the air. What makes Kanberra different? Simple. Kanberra uses the purest Tea Tree Oil on the market and takes it airborne. No matter where your odor lives, Kanberra Gel, Spray, and Soap will stop odors naturally and keep them away 24/7.

Looking back over the last two years of uncertainty across the business world, Kanberra pauses to reflect and show gratitude. “We are proud to say that not a day went by when we had to shut our doors due to Covid,” said CEO and owner Joel Solly. Solly also mentions, “We’ve seen an increase in sales as the world becomes more aware of the importance of

8

keeping a clean, healthy, and safe environment to live.

It has been, without a doubt, a benefit to Kanberra to have an increase in outdoor activities, both in the marine and RV worlds.”

Fortunately, Kanberra was established as an essential company during the Covid shutdown due to their production of cleaning products, including their flagship product the Kanberra Gel. The Kanberra Gel first became popular in the marine industry. The key functionality is to protect HVAC components, marine equipment, mechanicals, and overall onboard cleanliness during winterization and maintaining that cleanliness year-round.

It may look easy now, but it took more than a decade of research and development, market testing, and refinement to be able to produce an all-natural line of air purification products. The full product line includes Kanberra Gel, Soap, Spray,

THE Florida MARINER #954 / 13 March 2022

Laundry Additive, Anti-Friction Creams, and a Hand Sanitizer Alternative. The products are waterbased, with all-natural active ingredients, with the key ingredient and powerhouse a proprietary blend of premium Tea Tree Oils, certified by ATTIA (Australian Tea Tree Oil Institute Association).

Kanberra Gel, the original all-natural air purifier, is the most effective all-natural air purifier on the market today. Kanberra takes certified pure Tea Tree Oils and places them in a water-based gel to evaporate, thus becoming an airborne air cleaner.

Kanberra Soap, a botanic soap, is an allnatural cleanser enriched with Australian Tea Tree Oil and other essential oils for a gentle clean that leaves your skin soft, clean, and the air purified.

Kanberra believes in keeping families healthy. It can be challenging to keep

yourself and your home clean and fresh without being subjected to harmful chemicals. We know that clean air, surfaces, and bodies are fundamental aspects of living a healthy life. This is why we created Kanberra Premium Tea Tree Soap, a universal product that is extremely effective in cleansing the body, surfaces, and even the air – and not simply by masking odors. This soap has changed our lives and we hope you’ll let it change yours as well, allowing you to take a deep breath and relax.

Kanberra Spray is an instant odor remover that is great for cleaning surfaces and the air.

Common uses include: tents, RVs, camp gear, boats, shoes, clothes, fitness equipment, exercise gear, fishing gear, masks, backpacks, and more!

We will continue to value the importance of healthy living so when it comes to protecting your boat, RV, home, or office, Kanberra will have a product to keep you clean and safe. For more information, visit kanberragel.com

More Ways to Have Fun Boating

N

o matter whether you bought new or pre-owned, your first months with your boat are sure to be filled with plenty of excitement. There’s always more places to explore and activities to enjoy with a boat. No matter your favorite activity, any of these activities are sure to keep you enthusiastic about your next time on the water.

Watersports — It’s fun to be in the boat, but it’s also fun to be behind it as well, skimming along the water on the latest towable. Inflatables are the easy choice, a one-size-fits-most option that doesn’t require much athletic skill or

balance. Just hang on for the ride while a responsible driver swings you in and out of the wake.

For those looking for a greater challenge, skiing and wakeboarding are always popular, enabling riders to zip in and out of the wakes, or even soar high above them. The latest craze, wakesurfing, is also rapidly growing in popularity. It requires inboard, jet drive, or forward-drive propulsion, but allows any rider to experience the thrill of surfing, no ocean required.

Coving — Every lake, river or waterway has its unofficial “party cove,” a gathering spot where fellow boaters anchor, nose into the sandbar, or “raft up” to socialize and share in the pleasure of boating. Find one that fits your style and join in on the fun. Many boats are designed to enhance the experience, with aft seating areas, extended swim platforms, and boarding

ladders to encourage passengers to ease in and out of the water.

You may even find a transom remote to control the stereo. Another benefit of coving? It allows you to enjoy the boating lifestyle, while not using fuel.

Fishing — You don’t need a dedicated fishboat to bait a hook and throw a line over the side. Fishing can be done from any boat, and is a great way to bond with kids, spend time with your friends, or just get away for a few moments of solitude.

The equipment required is minimal — rod, bait or lures, and somewhere to store your catch. Just don’t forget your fishing license, typically available online for a nominal fee. Check with your state’s fish and wildlife agency or Department of Natural Resources to get started.

Good news? In most states, no license is required under 16 years of age, meaning kids are free.

Join An Excursion — Dealers are aware many customers are looking for new experiences, and as such many plan getaways to locations outside their customer’s normal boundaries. These trips aren’t just for those with bigger boats. Trailer boat excursions put boaters both on the road and on the water; overnight or multi-day trips encourage those with overnight accommodations to actually spend the night aboard. Boat camping is also a popular activity. Sleep aboard under the stars, or pitch a tent on a picturesque beach. Just don’t forget to pack the cooler!

Article courtesy of DiscoverBoating. Discover Boating is a public awareness effort managed by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) on behalf of the North American recreational boating industry. Discover Boating programs focus on increasing participation and creating interest in recreational boating by demonstrating the benefits, affordability and accessibility of the boating lifestyle while helping to educate potential boaters and offering opportunities to experience the fun and togetherness of being on the water on a boat. Each year nearly 70 million people in the U.S. enjoy boating, the recreational activity that “connects like no other.”

JFA YACHT & SHIP Congratulates Sunreef Yachts for starting off 2022 STRONG! “I can’t wait to go back to Gdansk, Poland this Spring for the “Nauti Nickel” sea trials & handover! She will be the 12th Sunreef 80 Power Cat Customized to the nine’s! Once shipped to Fort Lauderdale the JFA Yacht & Ship Team will introduce her to her proud owners and then later this fall to the Caribbean Luxury Catamaran charter market. We are with you all the way through the process, from the initial production slot reservation to the customization & design phase to the build-out phase, then finishing up with the Survey and Handover Celebration!”, says Capt. James.

J

FA YACHT & SHIP Congratulates SUNREEF YACHTS for starting off 2022 STRONG and on the right “Hull”… pun intended!

There is exciting news coming out of Poland where the SUNREEF 140 project has just been announced! “Congratulations Francis Lapp & Sunreef Yachts; 2022 is off to a great start! Not only did their team ink the 140’ and another 100’ Mega-Power Cat but they also attracted Famed Formula 1 Driver Fernando Alonso who recently ordered his Sunreef Power 60 Eco.”, according to Capt. James Fachtmann, Founder and CEO of JFA Yacht & Ship. “Having seen SUNREEF’s brand new state of the art GDANSK multihull factory in Poland earlier in 2021, says JFA’s CEO,“I can see why a High Performance F1 Driver and Famed Spanish Tennis Star Rafael “Rafa” Nadal Parera went with SUNREEF. When our JFA TEAM met onboard Rafa’s Sunreef 80 at MONACO [2021 SHOW] I had a chance to speak with Francis Lapp, the company’s president and founder of Sunreef Yachts who himself is a High Performance Rally Car driver. After hearing him passionately reminisce and regale about his Rally racing days, it’s easy to see why Fernando Alonso now owns a New Sunreef 60 Eco! It’s their passion for innovation, performance, and winning… he [Francis Lapp] gets it! If 2022 were a Race… SUNREEF has had a great head start!”

JFA Yacht & Ship currently has an 80 Sunreef Power HULL#12 on order with an expectation to be christened “NAUTI-NICKEL” by her new owners this Summer (2022) with plans to be available for charter this Fall in the Caribbean.

Capt. James & JFA Yacht Consultant Ed O’Connor were witness to Sunreef’s first unveiling of their magnificent 100’ Power Mega-Cat in GDANSK, Poland last summer. “We were all very excited to see this massive 100’ monster cat come out of the hanger [located at Sunreef’s new state-of-the-art shipyard] which is across the river from their original shipyard location; a yard rich with history. Did you know their original shipyard was also the birth place of the Solidarity Movement in 1989?”

The JFA Team will return to GDANSK, Poland for the splashing and handover (Hull#12) this summer (2022) for some champagne & Celebration!! Expect further updates about the New Sunreef 140 project upon their return! JFA Yacht & Ship is currently the Central Listing Agent for “KOKOMO”. According to JFA’s CEO, “KOKOMO will be on display at the 2022 PALM BEACH Int’l Boat Show. KOKOMO is also a 2021 SUNREEF 80 Power and TEAM JFA will have her available at the C-Dock for showings. I suggest you make an appointment or private showing with one of our JFA Yacht consultants quickly!”

“Interested in pursuing your own Sunreef Power or Sailing Catamaran project? We can certainly navigate you through the process to a happy conclusion… just ask our excited Sunreef 80PC owners!”, says Capt James. “Team JFA Yacht & Ship congratulates Team

Sunreef for hitting yet another milestone of success!”

Interested in booking “Nauti Nickel” or “Kokomo” later this summer in the Bahamas or the Caribbean?

Interested in ordering a New Sunreef?

Interested in chartering the 2021 Sunreef 80 PC “Kokomo”?

For inquires on how JFA Yacht & Ship can assist in your next Sunreef Yacht acquisition project, contact Ed, James, or any one of our JFA Team Members at Sales@jfayacht.com or call 844-JFA-SHIP www.JFAYacht.com James@jfayacht.com

While supporting their happy clients last June, Capt.

James & Ed spent a week touring the factories and working with Sunreef’s design teams for project “Nauti Nickel”.

Hull #12 will debut at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show October 26-30, 2022 where JFA Yacht & Ship will have her prominently displayed.

(NASDAQ: MCFT), is kicking off the second annual “Let Her Rip” tour to support the on-going push to inspire and empower women to have confidence in their abilities in and behind the boat and to challenge others to do the same in the water sports industry and beyond.

MasterCraft and Meagan Ethell, world champion MasterCraft athlete, will host five complimentary clinics throughout the US during the summer boating season to help female boaters of all ages hone their skills behind the wheel and behind the boat.

“As the leading tow boat brand in the world, we are committed to empowering current and future generations of women as boaters, athletes, and leaders. We brought back Let Her Rip not only to spotlight the contributions of our amazing female athletes and employees, but also to cheer and rally everyday women in and behind a boat.” said VP of Marketing, Collett Mazula.

The events will kickoff at the MasterCraft headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee on June 18th. Due to strong attendance in the inaugural year, MasterCraft has expanded the number of on-water clinics to Austin, TX, Seattle, WA, Atlanta, GA, and Orlando, FL. Spots will be limited to 25 individuals to ensure that participants get hands-on training. Those not able to attend a clinic in person can receive access to digital coaching from Ethell through the Givego app.

The Let Her Rip clinic video announcement will premiere today on the MasterCraft YouTube channel [https://youtu.be/ l9rP_vqlEA0 ] and across the company’s social media channels. Ethell’s industry sponsors Red Bull, Liquid Force, Nomadix and Body Glove continue to support the Let Her Rip initiative in celebration of not only her story but other accomplished female athletes.

“2022 is a new year and a new opportunity to get more ladies out on the water,” Ethell said. “Let Her Rip is a chance to encourage all women to build their confidence while in and behind a boat. I hope you see you all there, and I can’t wait to Let Her Rip!” For a full schedule of events, to sign up for a Let Her Rip clinic, and to shop Let Her Rip apparel, visit: MasterCraft.com/letherrip

Captain’sCorner with Captain Ray Markham The Chamber of Commerce couldn’t dial in the weather any better. We’ve had some beautiful weather over the past couple of weeks or so, and you could get out on just about any of them. The wind machine has slowed a bit and the high-pressure pattern that we’ve seen could continue through the weekend.

As always, file a float plan and doublecheck your safety equipment.

OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE Action for most anglers making it out to where state waters end and federal waters begin, at 9-miles, have found some good fishing. Sarasota anglers have seen good action with Spanish mackerel from the beaches out several miles. It’s still early for the spring run of Spanish and king mackerel, but with what we’ve seen over the past 4 or 5 years with mild winters, the normal pattern of Spanish and kingfish could be changing and earlier by a month or two.

In the meantime, tune in to our Florida Sportsman podcasts each week. Capt.

Greg Stamper, who reports just south of me, will give you a head’s up on the mack migration as it approaches our waters.

With so much of the action for big fish being in deep water beyond 100-feet, many anglers have been riding right past some terrific fishing opportunities.

Staying inside the 120-foot mark can get you some red grouper if you work at it, but for many others, near shore has been very enticing. Hogfish continue to be a hot target, but another target that’s not really been talked about much has been hot for some tightlipped anglers, and that target is permit.

Traditionally you don’t hear

much about permit until about late May, but with the warm month we’ve had, these fish have moved in on some of the artificial reefs. Other areas with rock bottom that have some high relief will hold permit.

Many of the artificial reefs are holding schools of bait. Along with that bait come the predators. Several of these artificial reefs off Sarasota, Bradenton, and Pinellas waters have held permit ranging from 6-to 17-pounds over the past month. The most productive bait has been a pass crab. For some anglers, that could mean smaller blue crabs and for others, it might be calico crabs. Blue crabs are generally more readily available.

A crab that measures no more than 3-to 4-inches from the point of the carapace (top of the shell) across to the opposing point is about the right size. Using a 5/0 to 7/0 circle hook, (size depending on hook manufacturer and the size of your crab) pierce the underside of the shell at one of the points and continue through the top of the shell. Fish these crabs on a free line.

INSHORE With all the warm weather we’ve had lately, water temperatures are on the rise.

Along with that increase in temperature is an increase in action with snook, trout, and redfish within our region. Still, we are seeing some negative effects in some areas from past red tide and spills in Tampa Bay. But for anglers fishing north of Clearwater, good action has been seen for trout to 25-inches on some 4-inch CAL Shads and MirrOlure 17MR49 suspending lures. Topwater lures early and late in the day have produced some nice fish as well, with lures like the MirrOlure Top Dog, Heddon Spook Jr., and

with Captain Rick Grassett There should be good action with reds, trout and snook in skinny water in March as baitfish become more plentiful. Look for Spanish and king mackerel, cobia, tripletail and false albacore (little tunny) in the coastal gulf. Night snook fishing in the ICW should also be a good option this month.

Snook and reds remain closed to harvest south of State Rd 64 in Manatee County on the west coast of Florida, south to the south bank of Gordon Pass in Collier County.

Reds and snook are catch and release only in that zone until May 31, 2022. Spotted Seatrout has reopened in that zone with a 3 fish per person, bag limit and a 6 fish boat limit. Trout must be from 15”-19” with one allowed per vessel over 19”. Full regulations and details can be viewed at https://myfwc.com/ .

This should be a good month for snook fishing at night around lighted docks and bridge fenders in the ICW. DOA Shrimp, CAL jigs with shad tails and small white flies, like my Grassett Snook Minnow, usually work well at night since glass minnows and shrimp are the predominate bait. Focus on shadow lines where light meets dark and fish strong tides for the best action.

Although snook may also be found in rivers, creeks or canals in March, they will also start to move onto shallow flats, particularly on sunny afternoons when it’s warm.

I like larger lures like CAL jigs with jerk worms, CAL 4” Shad Tails, DOA Baitbusters and the DOA PT soft plastic top water lure or wide profile flies like Clousers, Deceivers and EP flies, for snook on the flats.

Look for early season tarpon that may start to show in backcountry areas. These are usually adult resident fish that are making their way out of rivers and creeks.

They may be “laid up” or rolling on deep grass flats, on edges of shallow flats or along bars when it is calm.

An accurate cast with a DOA Shrimp, a Deceiver or Tarpon Bunny fly may result in an explosive strike!

Look for them in areas of Sarasota Bay, lower Tampa Bay or in Gasparilla Sound on some of the same deep grass flats where you find trout.

Reds should be more active as the water warms and baitfish become more

West Central Florida Southwest Coast Rapala Skitterwalk. Prop baits have also been deadly on some larger trout. The Smithwick Devil’s Horse and the 5M24 MirrOlure have been nailing big specks as well as some nice snook.

Redfish remain CLOSED south of the Manatee Avenue Bridge in Bradenton.

Anglers fishing from the Manatee River north to Apollo Beach report some good action on reds with Cockroach Bay being a hot spot recently. Farther north around the Alafia River, reports of some nice reds being caught on live pilchards continue. The north end of the Bay still is seeing some big reds caught along with the Weedon Island area.

An occasional pompano is being caught in several locations around the Skyway Bridge, Bunces Pass, and Pass-A-Grille.

Some anglers have used live shrimp, sand fleas, or fiddler crabs. Artificial lures like the DOA TerrorEyz and Doc’s Goofy Jigs have been long-time favorites of mine for pompano and other species.

FRESHWATER Bass have been active on lakes Tarpon and Manatee, according to reports.

Chartreuse and white spinnerbaits and Rat ‘L Trap crankbaits have been productive for largemouth bass. Soft plastic worms rigged wacky style have been effective. Now is the perfect time to get out for some bass fishing before summer’s heat sets in.

plentiful. Higher tides, as we head into spring, will allow them to spend more time feeding in shallow water. Look for them over shallow grass, along mangrove shorelines and around oyster bars when the tide is high. You should find them in potholes and along sand bars when the tide is low. I like the shallow flats of north Sarasota Bay for reds this month. I like 1/16-ounce CAL jigs with shad tails and jerk worms to locate reds. Fly anglers should score with my Grassett Flats Minnow fly, fished on a 10’12’ leader. When using a long leader be sure you are able turn it over, otherwise you’ll need to shorten it until you can. The butt section should be at least 50% of the total length of the leader and stiff enough to transfer energy from your fly line to the leader.

Pompano may skip on the surface when you drift or run past them, giving their location away. Fish deep grass flats with a mixture of grass and sand and a strong tidal flow for the best action.

You might also find reds around docks when the tide is low. Look for deep water under docks with a good tidal flow for the best action. A 1/8-ounce CAL jig with a shad tail or grub or a weighted fly fished on a clear intermediate sink tip fly line with a 6’ leader with should work well for dock fishing.

Run crab trap lines at various depths to find tripletail or cobia around crab trap floats. Fly anglers should score on tripletail with DOA Shrimp or lightly weighted flies with weed guards. Cobia may also be swimming on the surface as they migrate from south to north following warmer water and baitfish. DOA Baitbusters, Airheads, PT’s and large, wide profile flies, like Deceivers or EP flies would be good fly choices for cobia. In the absence of any fish on the surface, check out one of the many artificial reefs or natural hard bottom areas that may hold baitfish and predators. Drift over structure and cast DOA Baitbusters or weighted flies on fast sinking fly lines to get deeper in the water column to catch them.

You may find big trout in skinny water in many of the same places that you find reds. Blind cast seams where grass meets sand or focus on light colored bottom, in potholes on top of sand bars, where you may be able to sight fish them. These big fish, usually females, are important to the health of our fishery.

You should also find trout plentiful on deep grass flats along with Spanish mackerel, blues, flounder or pompano. I like to make a series of drifts, casting ahead of the drift with CAL jigs with shad tails, DOA Deadly Combos or an Ultra Hair Clouser fly tied on a long shank hook and fished on a clear intermediate sink tip fly line to locate fish. Also look for birds, bait showering out of the water or boils on the surface that will indicate fish feeding below. When mackerel and blues are around, you may need to add 6” of 40# to 60# fluorocarbon or wire to your leader. Top water plugs and fly poppers also work well when blues and mackerel are around and may help locate them by attracting them from further away.

Flounder may be found on sand or mud bottom areas on both shallow and deep grass flats or around docks.

THE Florida MARINER #954 / 13 March 2022

You may also find Spanish or king mackerel, false albacore (little tunny), cobia or tripletail in the coastal gulf this month. Look for diving or hovering terns to find Spanish mackerel or false albacore feeding on the surface. ¼-ounce CAL jigs with shad tails or jerk worms or top water plugs should work well for spin anglers.

Fly anglers should score with small white flies, like my Grassett Snook Minnow or Ultra Hair Clousers fished on an intermediate sink tip fly line.

Conditions are usually good during March and fishing should heat up. Flats and night snook fishing are usually good options this month. I like to check the coastal gulf when conditions are good, since you could find something really good happening there. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by industrial, agricultural and residential runoff, toxic spills and discharges, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

Captain’sCorner with Captain Mo Estevez 7 Year old girl just out fished you! Tom is a trout guide near Boston, MA and came down on a family vacation with wife Tanya and seven year old talkative cutie Makenzie. I have to tell you, Tom is raising her right because the girl can fish.

She was casting on her own and working the rod on her own and not only did she catch a bunch of fish but she caught a permit on her own.

Wow! That was the fish of the day for sure. We moved on and fished another spot where Tom landed a monster mangrove snapper in the 7lb range. Dang Tom! That fish came home with me and I just had it for dinner. Delicious! This was a great family and they rocked it today.

A Tale of Two Trips - It’s always interesting to me how each trip differs from the next even on the same day. My morning trip was fly fishing with Juan and his buddy Juan from Argentina. We found tarpon and they threw at them for quite some time but never hooked up. Part of the issue is that the tarpon were moving around a lot so we would get a couple of casts in before they moved and we had to locate them again and reposition. Usually you want them hanging out the in the same area that hints at them feeling comfortable and relaxed and hence in a better mood to eat. We them switched to bonefishing where they had a couple of shots and as time ran out we hit some jacks but they were nowhere to be found.

My afternoon trip was a two boat trip and I had Keith and Chad onboard. Chad wanted to target bonefish and Keith just wanted to catch fish. Hmm, OK let’s try something. A couple of the bonefish spots already had a boat on them so I took them back to where there were no jacks 45 minutes before with Juan and Juan. Ha, this time it was fish on every cast including jacks, mangrove snapper, small mutton snappers and a few really nice fish that broke us off. With boats cleared off the flats I went back and after more time than I would have liked Chad hooked up and got his first bonefish, a nice one that gave him a bunch of awesome runs. Congrats Chad!

This is fun, and exhausting! In the morning I had Emmet from Georgia with flyrod in hand. It was definitely blowing this morning so the goal was to hit some spots where he can throw the fly with reasonable chance of success yet stay out of the wind as much as possible. Bonefish spot was was a dud. Snook spot one was slow but we did get a snook to blow up on a fly but not get hooked. Snook spot two was a dud and we wrapped it up trying for more bonefish but those were duds as well. It was definitely tough on the fly today.

Thankfully I had the afternoon trip with good client David and his dad Michael. We went staring to shark fishing where we chummed some in and Michael got one with help from David. They wanted a change of pace so I took them to a channel that was been good lately and they killed it tossing jig and shrimp catching yellow jacks, mangrove snappers, school master snappers and more.

Two great and crazy guys hit the flats - No two trips a dat today as I had a full day with Chris and Albert from Oregon. They wanted to try a mix of spin and fly fishing and catch whatever species they could. I had a blast with these two crazies and man Albert was on fire. We started early and went straight to bonefishing before the Sunday boat traffic got too crazy and within minutes Albert was on to the first bonefish of the day. Dang! It took a bit more time but eventually Chris got his personal best bonefish with a solid 8 pounder. From there we hit a wreck but nothing would eat our flies, lures or live shrimp.

Ok fine fish you want to be that way?!

On to another spot which is a channel I’ve mentioned before that has been good.

Here the guys

with Captain Eric Evans

When there is a trip booked, we make it a point to contact the clients the day before and give them a weather and fish report. We keep it very honest and give the opportunity to cancel with no charge due to high winds and not being able to safety get out and show them a good time. As we did get cancellations many people opted to stay in close and just get out on the water where we could be sheltered but be limited on what we could target. Those days ended up being quite good and productive.

We had a lot of shark fishing for bulls and lemons. After catching the bigger game fish we moved onto trying to secure lunch or dinner.

Southeast Coast had a blast with fish on almost every cast until we were running low on shrimp and I wanted to save at least 6-8 for bonefish in case we needed them. These guys went through 8 dozen shrimp in short order.

Moving back to the flats for shark fishing I started pole them around for bonefish catching the end of the tide, my favorite time on this flat.

Just like clockwork the bonefish were there and mudding. Albert was on the bow and didn’t see the muds but 5 minutes later another group of bonefish come off the channel mudding on the flats and he makes a perfect cast and drops the fly where I told him. Strip, strip, “I’m on!” A long run later the bone broke us off. The day ended hooking a few sharks before heading back.

What a great day and great guys!

Finishing Strong - February has been a crazy month with few days off right before Valentine’s Day. I wrapped up my month fishing with Ward out of the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. I picked him up and he wanted to try fly fishing for bonefish and tarpon plus catch something to eat.

Tarpon was the first on the list in south Biscayne Bay but the areas I checked had non in them.

Off to bonefishing. Spot one was beautiful with good current and in the lee of the wind but it was dead. Hmm, ok spot two was in the wind but I put Ward at a good angle so he can throw his flyrod with the least amount of wind resistance and it work as he laid out some really nice casts.

Using a mix of spin and fly, I was able to get him his first bonefish using the trusty spin rod and shrimp combo. We continued to try for bones on fly without success so we went meat fishing for dinner but everything we caught was too small to keep. I think he’ll forgive me not catching him dinner after getting him his first bonefish. Great job Ward!

Saturday Double - Man it’s been nonstop and here it is Saturday and I have another double.

Frequent Cold Fronts January and February 2022. The Florida Keys saw many cold fronts which seemed to come every 2-3 days. The wind was howling some fronts reaching 40 knots. As one can imagine that took a big toll on our offshore fishing game. The few times we ventured past the reef was hit and miss for the tuna bite. It seemed the afternoon sunset bite produced the best when it was happening. Some clients found Mahi, sails, and wahoo while trolling the deep blue however it has been a slow start for what is typically a great offshore fishing season. Looking forward to better offshore conditions and more migrating schools coming through in March and April.

Finding plenty of snappers including lanes, greys, muttons, and yellowtails.

All in all people left happy and enjoyed being on the water even with limited range due to weather.

We would also like to introduce our new to us 22 pathfinder. It will serve as a great addition to the family! Back country fishing, sharks, and tarpon will be the main target for this vessel. If you have a smaller group and want to get after those silver kings April-August.

This will be the boat for you.

My morning trip was with Ralph and his son Bernie. Again, we started looking for tarpon but they were MIA, geez they should be all over the bay by now! Anyway, we went off and kept the rods bent with jacks and snappers but when the tide was right I took them to a snook spot where Bernie scored a couple of snook.

Visit the St. Lucie River Power Squadron website: www.slrps.org A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate athome 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 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. 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 inperson 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 727469-8895.
