Top Tips for Wearing Your Engine Cutoff Switch Lanyard BoatUS Foundation offers safe & comfortable options for regulation compliance

A

www.abelsmarine.com

NNAPOLIS, Md., March 22, 2022 – Last summer was the first full season boaters were required to use an engine cutoff switch as a result of a new law that went into effect on April 1, 2021. The law mandates the use of either a helm or outboard lanyard or wireless engine cutoff switch (ECOS) on certain vessels less than 26 feet when traveling on plane or above displacement speed.

What have boaters learned while complying with the new law? “There are no rules for how or where to attach an ECOS lanyard to your body,” said BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water Assistant Director of Boating Safety Ted Sensenbrenner. “But there are some things to think about that will help you wear it when you need.” The boating nonprofit offers top tips for wearing your ECOS lanyard: • There are four common locations on the captain’s body to attach an ECOS lanyard. If one doesn’t work for your kind of boating, try another.

Wrist-worn lanyards that have a quick-adjust hookand-loop strap are commonly used on personal watercraft and may also work well at the helm of a powerboat. Life jackets often have a plastic ring to connect a lanyard clip, while pant belt loops are also convenient, and since that location is lower on the body, it may be less prone to snagging. Some boaters prefer attaching it even lower and secure the ECOS lanyard around a thigh or ankle. Just use caution to not overstretch the lanyard.

• According to the American Boat & Yacht Council, typical ECOS lanyards are 48 to 72 inches when fully extended. It’s OK to adjust the lanyard length

based on boat configuration and operator location.

“It’s a balance in finding freedom of movement and ensuring it won’t wrap around something or get snagged,” said Sensenbrenner.

• Some ECOS devices eliminate the lanyard and rely on wireless proximity devices to shut down an engine if the operator goes overboard. While these wireless ECOS, typically worn as a bracelet or fob, cost more and require more care, they may be the easiest to wear for some boaters. Fobs can also be attached to a lanyard and worn around the neck, placed in a pocket or clipped to a belt or life jacket.

• A lanyard clip that you can use with one hand also makes ECOS wearing easier.

• No matter which kind of ECOS used, boaters need to learn how to bypass, rearm or reset an ECOS quickly in the event of an activation. Read the manual and practice at the dock.

• When you welcome guests and crew aboard, tell them how the ECOS works and the potential hazard created by ECOS activation and rapid deceleration.

Having everyone keep clear of the lanyard is, as Martha Stewart says, “a good thing.”

• Even the simplest ECOS need some care. A faded lanyard may not be a reason to replace, but it is a reason to take a closer look. Plastic lanyard clips can become brittle, metal clips can corrode and the lanyard line can lose elasticity. These items are inexpensive to replace – and its good practice to keep a spare aboard in case the captain goes overboard and the crew needs to facilitate a swift and safe retrieval. Be sure to let your crew know where the spare is located in your pre-trip briefing.

Introducing Environmentally Friendly Bio-Ultimax™ 1000 Hydraulic Fluid Ideal for All Marine Applications

H

artville, OH. Renewable Lubricants presents patented Bio-Ultimax™ 1000, readily biodegradable biosynthetic formulas which perform like mineral oil based hydraulic fluids, but are environmentally friendly.

With oxidation performance comparable to full synthetics, this is one of the safest hydraulic fluids for the environment. Ideal for stationary or mobile environments, Bo-Ultimax™ super high Viscosity Index (VI) fluids are proven in systems up to 10,000 psi and in systems with ultra-fine filtration. To ensure performance and long life, Renewable Lubricants developed the stringent IsoGreen filtration standard which meets or exceeds the Rexroth pump guidelines for hydraulic fluids. Non-toxic, zincfree formulations contain no heavy metals.

In addition to enhancing performance, BioUltimax™ helps companies achieve their sustainability goals. They are ideal for all types of marine applications, including use on ferry’s, passenger craft, research vessels, dredging vessels, and more, as well as in sensitive areas like marinas, docks, and nearby facilities.

With a higher VI than synthetics (Energy Conserving Formulas), Bio-Ultimax™ 1000 has improved thermal shear stability and increased load capacity. Their extremely low volatility increases the flash and fire safety features, making them safer to use. A direct replacement for mineral oil based hydraulic fluids, BioUltimax™ is ideal for hydraulic systems where low toxicity, biodegradability, and nonbioaccumulation properties are required.

These patented biobased hydraulic fluids are formulated to perform in high- and lowpressure hydraulic systems that require AntiWear (AW), anti-rust, anti-oxidation, anti-foam, and demulisibility properties. With patented antioxidants (Stabilized™*), these biosynthetics provide improved performance in oxidation stability over standard plant/vegetable/HETG and unsaturated HEES type fluids. They are highly inhibited against moisture and rusting in both fresh and sea water, and pass A and B sequences of the ASTM D-665 Turbine Oil Rust Test. Formulated to provide a longer seal life with reduced oil leakage, this environmentally

friendly, zinc-free product meets or exceeds highpressure pump requirements.

Very little wear was encountered in field studies and in accelerated pump tests using biobased formulations in Denison T-5D, Vickers 20VQ, 35VQ-25 (M-2950-S), and V-104C (ASTM D-2882), Vickers I-286-S pump stand tests and pressures and temperatures ranging from 2000 to 3000 psi and from 150°to 210°F. Antiwear performance exceeds requirements for US Steel 126, 136, and 127, load stage 10 in the FZG (DIN 51354) and GM (LS-2).

Bio-Ultimax™ Hydraulic Fluids meet and exceed Federal Specifications for machine tool hydraulic systems and can replace specification MIL-PRF-17672E for ground support equipment.

It meets EPA 21013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) guidelines for Environmentally Acceptable

DiscoverBoating 10 Tips on How to Avoid Boat Collisions

A

voiding boat collisions on the water and minimizing the risk of a boating accident is the first priority of any skipper. As the vessel’s captain, you’re responsible for the safety of your crew, any surrounding vessels and the environment where you boat. With that responsibility comes a need for a basic level of knowledge and good situational awareness.

1. Always Maintain a Watch This means you or someone aboard is always a lookout, watching for other boats, navigation aids, people in the water or upcoming hazards.

To help build that understanding, here are a few tips to keep you and other vessels safe.

2. Understand Marine Navigation Rules The best boat collision deterrent is knowing the Rules of the Road and which vessel has the right of way when two boats meet. Part of these rules also includes being able to recognize aids to navigation such as buoys and channel markers and understanding what lights are being exhibited by another vessel with oncoming, crossing or anchored traffic at night.

What Should You Do to Avoid Colliding with Another Boat?

• Always maintain a watch.

• Understand marine navigation rules.

• Stay clear of shipping lanes.

• Understand the implications of speed.

• Remain visible at all times.

• Keep your VHF radio on underway.

• Only boat when well-rested and sober.

• Expect the unexpected.

• Maintain a speed appropriate to conditions.

• Boat smart and use common sense.

Standing a watch is especially important in times of reduced visibility such as in fog or at night. Keep binoculars at hand.

You’ll also need to know the basics of sound signals: • One short blast means a boat is leaving you to port.

• Two blasts means they’re leaving you to starboard.

• Five blasts means danger and you’d better figure out quickly if it was meant for you.

3. Stay Clear of Shipping Lanes Shipping lanes are routes used for large vessels ferrying cargo to and from port.

These lanes are usually marked on charts as magenta swaths. They are typically five miles wide and have up- and down-stream traffic lanes.

Large ships travel at high speeds and five miles can take a sailboat an hour to cross so it’s imperative to stay out of these lanes and cross them at a 90-degree angle, which represents the shortest time spent in the danger zone. Never fish, anchor, heave to or stop for any reason in shipping lanes.

4. Understand the Implications of Speed Ships travel on average at 30 knots, so even if you’re not in the shipping lanes, understand that a cargo vessel or cruise ship can move from the horizon to your location in 15 minutes.

• Don’t try to outrun a crossing vessel.

• If unsure whether or not you can make it across before they reach you, turn slightly and take their stern (go behind them)—it’s not only safer, it’s also more polite.

5. Remain Visible at All Times Small pleasure crafts are hard to see, especially from the deck of a ship and especially in fog or at night.

• Turn on running lights from dusk to dawn and display the proper light schemes if anchored.

• Carry a radar reflector so your return is picked up on another vessel’s radar and consider adding AIS (Automatic Identification System) capability to your own radar.

• Per the US Coast Guard, use a strobe light only as a distress signal.

6. Keep Your VHF Radio on While Underway The VHF radio is to be kept on when you’re

www.TheMariner.com

moving.

• Keep it tuned to the distress and hailing frequency on Channel 16 in case another vessel is calling.

• Remember, they don’t know who you are so you may be called as “fishing vessel off my port bow”.

• Always switch to another working frequency once you’ve established contact and want to continue communications.

7. Only Boat When Well-Rested and Sober Fatigue leads to faulty decision making so just as with driving a car, don’t operate a boat when tired or sleepy. Keep in mind that boating under the influence (BIU) is just as dangerous and serious as a DIU. 8. Expect the Unexpected When boating in the early morning or late afternoon when there’s glare on the water from a low-lying sun, move slowly and keep an extra vigilant lookout.

Remember that on lakes, rivers and coastal areas, debris increases after a storm or significant rainfall so you may get the unexpected log or bucket in your way.

9. Maintain a Speed Appropriate to

Conditions • Slow down in no wake zones and in limited visibility.

• Don’t speed around roped off swimming zones as you don’t know if there are people outside the designated area.

• If there is traffic or congestion around piers where large vessels are docking or pulling out, keep clear as their prop wash may create turbulence that will impact the control of your vessel.

10. Boat Smart and Use Common Sense Fun boating and safe boating go hand-inhand. Here’s a few more factors to keep in mind to ensure a great day on the water for you and other boaters: • Don’t engage in towing sports in navigation channels or secluded anchorages where people may be swimming.

• Look in all directions before making a turn and that includes behind you.

• Don’t assume the other guy knows what he’s doing and if in doubt, keep clear.

Avoiding boat collisions is up to everyone so never assume someone else will take evasive measures even if you have the right of way. Avoid boating accidents— boat smart.

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.

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.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Ray Markham You can never be sure that your buddies might play an April fool’s joke on you, but it’s a good bet that some of the weather prognosticators can. Some great weather for the week could be broken up

by Wednesday or Thursday with some windy weather and perhaps rain, but should improve by the weekend.

OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE The nearshore fishing works as long as you pick a decent weather day. While a sunny day with calm seas may seem like “the” day to head out, think about the previous couple of days or so and what the wind conditions were like. Windy days can stir up the water and most fish have trouble finding food to eat under those conditions, so many times they will head out to find clean water, which is usually in deeper water. Hogfish have been caught on recent trips in both half and full-day trips on party boats out of Hubbard’s Marina at John’s Pass. Depths ranging from 40-to 90-feet have been productive for them despite a slight slow-down in action since our waters began to warm. Water temperatures in the Gulf from nearshore to roughly 30-miles offshore have been ranging from 71-to 74 degrees. King and Spanish mackerel like those conditions and a few kings have shown up on the beaches and on deepwater wrecks. It’s early yet and there are still plenty of kingfish to the south that have not yet begun their migration.

Spanish mackerel, on the other hand, have been readily available on calmer days. But when the wind machine cranks up, you will be lucky to find a few.

They scatter and head offshore where there is less turbidity.

Red grouper have been tough to come by if it’s a keeper you’re looking for. But anglers working beyond the 120-foot mark are finding plenty of grouper that must be released until April 1 when the restriction is lifted. Inside that 120foot mark if you work hard enough you can find a keeper red grouper along with plenty of mangrove snapper, lane snapper, and possibly a few vermilion snappers.

For bluewater angling fun, look for some big permit on deep wrecks. There were good numbers of them on nearshore wrecks several weeks ago that vanished with the wind. Keep a few crabs in the live well for them as well as cobia that you might see. Wahoo should start showing up pretty soon along with greater numbers of blackfin tuna. Stay tuned. Hubbard’s Marina reported a good catch on their recent 39-hour offshore trip with good numbers of yellowtail snappers being caught along with porgies, mangos, and lane snapper.

INSHORE Friday’s new moon should make for some good moving water. Some extreme high and low tides will be the norm. Take advantage of the bottomed-out tides early in the day to find fish stranded in potholes. Look for redfish and trout in channels around shallow grass flats that have oyster bars. Snook will be found on ambush points whenever the tide is moving with strong currents. Late afternoon outgoing tides centered on the new moon will produce these kinds of situations. Points around mangrove islands, on turns of channels, and around oyster bars will be hot spots.

Some terrific action continues on the flats from Dunedin to Anclote Key for anglers

with Captain Dave Hanson Fishbuster Spring Report - Good fishing inshore and offshore

They used live shrimp to catch fifteen sheepshead, to 15 inches.

Bill Tank, his son and daughter-in-law, Andrew and Kristi, and their two young sons, George and Charlie, fished in southern Estero Bay, as sheltered as we could get from the strong winds, on Tuesday morning, 3/15. They used live shrimp to catch and release a dozen short sheepshead, a 14-inch black drum, a 14-inch sand bream, and two big sailcats, 15 inches and 20 inches.

Scotty Smith, his son, Ethan, and Scotty’s dad, Charlie, fished in the backwaters of Estero Bay Tuesday morning, 3/22, where they used live shrimp to catch and release a dozen sheepshead, a mangrove snapper, and a crevalle jack.

Chris and Tara Jensen, joined by friends, Matt and Leah Menting, fished in southern Estero Bay’s backwaters on Wednesday morning, 3/16. They used live shrimp to catch sixteen sheepshead, including a 13-inch keeper.

They also boxed a sand bream and an 11-inch keeper mangrove snapper, and released one mangrove snapper short.

Terri Tank, her daughter, and son-in-law, holly and John Lischer, and their eightyear-old daughter, Lils Lischer, fished in southern Estero Bay’s backwaters on Friday morning, 3/18. They used live shrimp to catch a lot of fish, including a few keepers. Holly caught a 17-inch trout. Terry caught and released an 18-inch redfish. John caught a 14inch sheepshead, one of two that size that the family boxed. Lils won the catch-of-the day, with a 25-inch redfish she released. The family also released fifteen short sheepshead and an 18-inch sailcat.

Ryan Fogerty and his father-in-law, Larry, fished in southern Estero Bay’s backwaters on a very windy Monday morning, 3/21.

22

Leonard Barnes and his daughter, Kathryn, fished a high, incoming tide in southern Estero Bay’s backwaters Wednesday morning, 3/23.Using live shrimp, they caught and released a 26-inch redfish. They boxed a 13-inch keeper mangrove snapper and a 15inch sheepshead, and released fourteen smaller sheepshead and two mangrove snapper shorts.

Ryan Myers, Curtis Butler, and Michael Dunnagan had planned to fish all day offshore on Friday, 3/25, but the angry seas of the past week prohibited doing so. The guys decided to fish inshore in southern Estero Bay for the morning.

They used live shrimp to catch and release eighteen sheepshead to 14 inches, a 20-inch snook, and a 22-inch sailcat.

Seas were finally calm enough on Monday morning, 3/28, to allow an offshore trip. I fished eighteen miles west of New Pass with Ray Atwood, and family members, Floyd, Darren, and Ginny. They used squid to box twenty-one keeper lane snapper and a dozen grunts. They released an additional twenty-five grunts that they did not need, along with three red grouper shorts.

THE Florida MARINER #956 / 10 April 2022

West Central Florida Southwest Coast fishing DOA Deadly Combos or any king of popping cork with live pilchards or shrimp. Dredging the bottom of channels around the bridges with Trolling Model Baitbusters from DOA Lures will pick up some big snook and an occasional black drum. Snook, trout, and redfish are being caught on the MirrOlure Lil’ John on the flats. The darting action of this jerk bait entices multiple species into chewing. I’ve even caught fair numbers of sheepshead on them using the Molting color. The Sour Lemon color is one of my favorite colors, but pink/silver has been turning on some big trout in St. Joseph’s Sound.

Tarpon are beginning to show up but it’s still a bit early for the full-on invasion of the silver kings. Look for them to be coming out of rivers, creeks, and backwaters of the estuaries along the coast.

Early morning topwater fishing is my kind of fun. Since the later 90’s I’ve enjoyed fishing the MirrOlure 94MR series of lures for monster trout, snook, and on occasion, tarpon, and redfish. The unique sound of the single rattle calls big fish from long distances. I’ve found that even when snook might not be hungry, the action of this walk-the-dog type of lure will irritate snook into crushing the lure just to try to get it out of its area.

Southwest Florida Jason and Holly Brock fished a catchand-release inshore trip with me in southern Estero Bay on Tuesday morning, 3/29. They used live shrimp to catch ten sheepshead and two mangrove snapper shorts.

Justin and Melissa Setzekorn and their children, Jack and Kathryn, fished in southern Estero Bay’s backwaters with me on Wednesday morning, 3/30.

The family used live shrimp to box two 12-inch sand bream and a keeper mangrove snapper. They released four sheepshead shorts.

Michael and Denise Croake, their son, Parker, and Parker’s grandpa, Dennis, fished the backwaters in southern Estero Bay with me on Thursday morning, 3/31. The sheepshead were biting well, but keeper size were hard to find. The family boxed a 15-inch sheepshead, and released seventeen smaller ones, many of which were just a quarter inch to a half inch short of legal size. They also caught a 12-inch, keeper mangrove snapper, and released six mang shorts, along with three mutton snapper shorts. ************************************************** ********************************* For the full report, visit http://www. fishbustercharters.com/fishingreport.html You can view our fishing action videos at http://fishbustercharters.com/ fishingvideos.html

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.

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!

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

My afternoon trip was a two boat trip and I had Keith and Chad onboard.

Chad wanted to target bonefish and

with Captain Dean Panos Fishing Every Day Sorry for the delay in reports but it has been incredibly busy fishing every day.

The very few days that we were not booked, there was maintenance to be done on the boat and tackle, as well as business paperwork and reports to be completed. The good news about fishing every day is you have your finger on the bite and pretty much know what is going on in the area.

The fishing in February was not stellar but it picked up in March. Sailfish are daily catches and multiple fish per day are quite common. This past weekend we had a late front roll through, and we ended up catching 11 sailfish that day.

It was a great time especially since all our anglers had never caught sailfish before. That same day we saw 4 big bluefin tunas cruise by. Although you want to hook them, there is almost no possibility of catching a 500 pound plus bluefin tuna on 20-pound line with 30-pound leader. We have hooked two this year and both ended up breaking the mainline. To that point though, there have been a few big 100 pound plus yellowfin tuna caught this year and I am eager to hook one of those. We have caught them up to 160 pounds in the past on our 20-pound sailfish outfits

Southeast Coast 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 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 clock work 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!

Southeast Coast

and we are very diligent on changing our line often this time of year in anticipation of a big yellowfin eating our bait.

Besides sailfish, there have been some decent mahis and just a few kingfish around. The blackfin tunas have been a bit scarce so far, but their season is April and May so that is right around the corner. These are one of my favorite fish to catch on light tackle.

Spring is our best time of year to fish in Miami with lots of sailfish, tunas, mahis and kingfish all in the mix. If you enjoy light tackle fishing for these pelagics, I urge you to book your trips now. As it stands, we only have a handful of days open in April. May is already over halfway booked as well. Give us a call or book your trip directly online and let’s go enjoy some great spring fishing!
