Preparation:

Preheat a large skillet over low heat. Do not add any butter. Add spices to dry pan and toast for 2-3 minutes or until you begin to smell the spices. Do not leave pan unattended if you opt to perform this step, certain spices are prone to burn quicker than others. Remove spice mixture from pan and set aside.

Preheat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add butter and oil and allow to melt. Now add shrimp, garlic, and toasted spices; stir to coat shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully add white wine and stock. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Finish with lemon slices and fresh parsley, serve with crusty bread for dipping.

Fresh tip: Feel free to sauté fresh seasonal vegetables using same pan to make a complete meal.

Sea-Doo Switch Pontoon Named “Boat of the Year”, The Marine Industry’s Most Prestigious Recognition

VALCOURT, QC, Jan. 10, 2023 /CNW

Telbec/ - The Sea-Doo Switch pontoon, a product of BRP, has been named “Boat of the Year” by Boating Magazine, the world’s leading publication for recreational boating.

The Sea-Doo Switch family of pontoon boats represents a shift of paradigm in the fastest growing segment of the recreational boating industry. This award is a testament to BRP’s dedication to ingenuity and innovation as it strives to open recreational boating to more people.

“Out of all the boats tested, and with reviews published, in the previous year, the Boat of the Year is the boat that excelled in its category more than any other boat excelled in any other category,’’ said Boating Magazine Editor-inChief, Kevin Falvey. “For building a boat that’s easy to dock, easy to tailor to varying needs and that makes boating affordable and an attainable lifestyle for a great many families, we award the Sea-Doo Switch as the 2022 Boat of the Year.”

“The Sea-Doo Switch is designed for the next generation of boaters,” said Julie Tourville, Director of Global Marketing, Marine Group and Sea-Doo at BRP. “We wanted to disrupt the industry with a pontoon that marries the spirit and fun of the Sea-Doo brand, and we’ve done it with the Switch. It’s built to change the realities of what life on the water can be and provides the flexibility to fit the dreams

of all kinds of recreational water lovers. The accessibility was also key to bring in first-time boat owners to the category.”

It’s Accessible, Adaptable and Fun

The Sea-Doo Switch is designed to make the most of any specific moment on the water. Three packages are offered, the Base, Cruise, and Sport in ROTAX jet-drive power options from 130hp – 230hp. The Sea-Doo Switch has all the elements to make the Sea-Doo life more fun and accessible to more families.

• Accessible: The Sea-Doo Switch is designed to be easy for first time boaters; easy to operate with a simple Sea-Doo handlebar control system, easy to tow on land with a custom matched trailer included, easy to maintain and to clean, and easy to own with a competitive starting price.

• Adaptable: No matter the setting, boaters can configure the entire space of the Sea-Doo Switch on the fly with modular seating, tables, sound system, and other accessories that quickly connect to the LinQ tiles that comprise the deck. Everything is moveable other than the stationary helm. The ability to customize and make it their own with a large collection of accessories and pre-build packages provides full versatility to adapt to any boating activity in seconds.

• Fun for the whole family: Flexible and comfortable living room on board combined with a sporty and stable V-Toon hull powered

by a responsive jet-drive propulsion system make the Sea-Doo Switch fun in the cove and fun when underway.

Readers can read the full Sea-Doo Switch “Boat of the Year” story in the January/February issue of Boating Magazine available by subscribing at boatingmag.com.

Sea-Doo has the right vehicles, apparel and accessories to ensure boaters make the most out of their time on the water. For more technical details and product specs, as well as information about the complete lineup of SeaDoo personal watercraft and pontoon boats, visit Sea-Doo.com

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – January 19, 2023 – Veer Boats, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) was honored with an NMMA Innovation Award at the 2023 Minneapolis Boat Show. Veer won the “Fishing Boat” category for its newly launched X13, which debuted earlier this month at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The X13 is a first-of-its-kind, multivessel designed to support electric propulsion and appeal to the next generation of boaters.

“On behalf of all of us at Veer, we would like to thank the NMMA for this prestigious honor,” said Matt Atilano, Veer Director of Strategy. “The X13 brings new energy and new thinking to the outdoor experience.

Initially launched at CES 2023, the X13 , is a 13foot, multi-tool vessel built from durable rotomolded polyethylene to enable boaters to experience the outdoors with confidence. The X13 is designed to be powered by Mercury Avator electric propulsion systems and Mercury FourStroke outboards, including the Avator 7.5e electric outboard – the first product in the Avator series – which was also unveiled at CES 2023.

Crafted by the engineering team at Lund Boats –industry leaders in fishing boat design – the X13 offers

exceptional quality and robustness, a contemporary design, combined with thoughtful and ingenious fishing-focused features. The Veer X13 will expand access to boating, offering performance, ease-of-use, low maintenance and affordability.

Innovation award judges commented on the X13 stating: “Bringing in an entirely new concept of boat with next generation technologies and an entry-level price point, the Veer X13 offers the joy of getting on the water to a whole new generation of boaters and offers access to waters never before explored by a motorized boat,” said judge, Adam Quandt.

The Top Boat Warranty Basics Every Owner Should Understand

Understand:

1. Benefits of Boat Warranty

One of the main benefits of investing in a boat warranty is the peace of mind it provides. With a warranty, you can access reliable repairs and maintenance if something goes wrong with your boat. Many warranties also include coverage for accidental damage or natural disasters like floods.

Additionally, many warranties will cover the additional materials or parts required to complete the repair. For example, if your flooring is damaged, the warranty might cover the cost of the new flooring. Finally, some warranties may come with extra services such as emergency assistance and discounts at select marinas and other locations.

2. Boat Warranty Options

Several boat warranty options are available, each offering different levels of protection and coverage. Standard factory warranties usually cover new boats against defects in materials and workmanship for some time. These types of warranties are generally shorter in duration than more comprehensive extended warranties. However, they’re still valuable in protecting your investment.

Some manufacturers offer additional coverage like marine insurance or mechanical breakdown insurance to provide an extra level of protection. There are also thirdparty warranties that can be purchased separately from the manufacturer. Typically, they cover a wider range of repairs for a longer period.

3.

Read the Terms and Conditions of Your Boat Warranty

The terms and conditions of a boat warranty can vary, but certain things are standard in all boat warranties. Generally speaking, the terms and conditions will outline what is covered by your contract and any limitations that may apply.

For example, some warranties may only cover the cost of parts and labor for repairing mechanical issues. However, others may cover more extensive damage due to natural disasters or accidents.

It’s important to review all the terms and conditions closely, so you know exactly what your warranty covers.

4. How to File a Claim

When filing a claim on your boat warranty, you must understand your coverage and the process for making a claim. First, you should always read and follow the instructions provided by your vendor or manufacturer for filing a claim. Be sure to include all relevant documentation, such as receipts, photographs of damages, and serial numbers from damaged components.

Also, make sure that you compile all necessary paperwork to ensure that your claim can be processed quickly and efficiently. Additionally, keep records of all conversations with customer service representatives or technicians during the claims process. After submitting your claim, check back periodically for updates on its status. Being organized and patient will help ensure a smoother claims experience overall.

5. Boat Warranty CoverageWhat’s Not Usually Covered?

Certain damages and repairs are typically not covered, including damages caused by:

• Improper use or storage

• Normal wear and tear

• Accidents

• Intentional acts of negligence

In addition, most warranties do not cover any nonfactory repair work performed on the boat.

It’s crucial to review the terms of your warranty carefully so you understand what is covered before filing a claim. Additionally, some manufacturers may impose additional restrictions, such as requiring proof of regular maintenance or adherence to specific installation guidelines. Knowing these details can help you avoid costly surprises later on.

6. Getting the Best Boat Warranty - How to Avoid Being Taken Advantage Of

When dealing with boat warranty companies, it is essential to do your research. Make sure you understand your coverage, costs, and limitations before agreeing to repair work. If a vendor offers a much lower price than usual for services or replacement parts, it should raise some red flags.

Be wary of vendors who try to pressure you into making decisions without fully understanding the

implications of those choices. Make sure to get a second opinion from an independent expert if something seems off or too good to be true. Lastly, keep detailed records of all conversations and repairs throughout the process to protect yourself in case something goes wrong.

7. Is Your Boat Warranty Transferable?

In most cases, boat warranties are transferable. This is because the warranty applies to the boat itself, not the original owner or purchaser. However, it’s essential to check with the manufacturer to confirm this is the case for your particular boat and warranty agreement. Many manufacturers have specific transfer stipulations or offer limited warranties when transferring coverage from one party to another.

8. The Benefits of Regular Maintenance for Boat Warranties

Regular maintenance for boat warranties is essential in getting the most out of your coverage. When done regularly, maintenance helps prevent minor issues from becoming significant, expensive problems. It also helps catch malfunctions before they become too serious to repair. Regular upkeep can also help maintain the value and condition of your boat over time.

Remember that regularly scheduled maintenance can save money on your warranty claims by reducing the number and severity of repairs needed. Routine service appointments are an excellent opportunity to spot potential issues that can be addressed before they lead to larger problems.

Lastly, make sure you also take a boating safety course and follow regulations when operating your boat. Doing so can help you prevent accidents and minimize potential risks on the water.

9. How Fast Are Claims Processed?

Claim processing times can vary greatly depending on the situation and the insurer. Generally, a claim will be processed faster if it is filed correctly and documentation is received in an organized, timely manner. Claims involving physical damage will often take longer than those dealing with finances due to the need for inspections.

In addition, insurance companies are typically more likely to process claims faster when an agent or other representative is provided. Still, most claims can usually

be processed within a few weeks before payment is released.

10. Is Your Boat Warranty Prorated?

A boat warranty is typically prorated, meaning that it covers the repair or replacement of components over a specific period. The amount of coverage decreases as the warranty period progresses, with different levels of coverage for different types of repairs.

Some warranties may provide full coverage for repairs during the first few years of ownership. However, others may offer only partial coverage in later years due to wear and tear. Remember that the prorated coverage may not extend beyond a few years if your boat is older or custom-made.

11.

What Are The Typical Costs Associated With a Boat Warranty?

The typical costs associated with a boat warranty program depend on the age, condition, and type of boat receiving coverage. Most boat warranties come standard with purchasing a new or used vessel. However, these types are usually limited in coverage and duration. The cost of an extended boat warranty may vary widely depending on the manufacturer or provider.

For example, extended warranties that cover more expensive repairs may cost considerably more than a standard warranty. Costs can also increase if additional services, such as maintenance and technical support, are included in the agreement. More comprehensive coverage typically brings higher premiums. However, it could be worth the investment if it helps protect you from expensive repairs.

You can expect to pay around $200-$1,000 for a typical boat warranty, but this can vary depending on the coverage. Ultimately, the cost of a boat warranty should be weighed against the potential for expensive repairs.

Final Thoughts: When it comes to boat warranties, understanding what is covered and how claims are processed can help you avoid costly surprises. Regular maintenance is essential in ensuring the longevity and value of your boat. It can also improve the chances that your warranty claims will be accepted. Above all else, it is essential to read the fine print of your warranty agreement. With the proper preparation, you can rest assured that your boat is covered and in good condition.

5 TowBoatUS Captains Honored for Lifesaving Acts

SPRINGFIELD, Va., Jan. 20, 2023 – TowBoatUS responds more than 90,000 requests from boaters for routine on-water assistance each year – towing, ungroundings, battery jumps and fuel drop-offs. For the captains at the helm of the 600-plus red TowBoatUS response vessels, that means much of their waking day is spent on the water where there’s always a chance for more grave trouble.

Five TowBoatUS captains who acted as good Samaritans to save lives and help their communities in 2022 were recently honored by their peers at a ceremony held during the annual BoatUS Towing Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. The captains serve TowBoatUS locations in Key Largo, Florida; Provincetown, Massachusetts; Cleveland, Ohio; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

The Woody Pollak Lifesaving Award: The on-water towing service’s highest honor, The Woody Pollak Lifesaving Award, was bestowed to Capt. Mike Hutchings of TowBoatUS Key Largo, Florida. It’s named for the late Capt. Woody Pollak who died on duty and was known for his unselfish acts.

Capt. Mike Hutchings of TowBoatUS Key Largo, Florida

On an August evening in Florida, a BoatUS member reported an unidentifiable, growing

smoke condition aboard his 45-foot Hatteras and notified the U.S. Coast Guard watchstanders. His second call was to BoatUS dispatch, who contacted Capt. Mike Hutchings. Upon learning the stricken vessel’s GPS coordinates, Hutchings knew they yielded an inaccurate location. Working quickly with dispatch, he was able have the GPS coordinates converted to the correct format, placing the vessel about 3 miles away at Garden Cove on Key Largo. As he approached the cove, Hutchings smelled burning fiberglass and then he saw the smoke, followed by the waving of a dim light. All nine passengers were huddled on the stricken vessel’s bow with railings too hot to touch. As the smoke became thicker, Hutchins safely retrieved all before the vessel was completely engulfed just minutes later. All were returned to shore uninjured.

Meritorious Service Awards:

The towing fleet’s Meritorious Service Award honors TowBoatUS captains who go above and beyond assisting their boating communities. The four Meritorious Service Awards bestowed for efforts in 2022 include:

Capt. Noah Santos, TowBoatUS Provincetown, Massachusetts

The first day of lobster season could have

potentially been the last for a group of four fishermen aboard a 34-foot fishing vessel reported sinking about 2 miles off Race Point on the tip of Cape Cod’s most northern end. As the lobster anglers began to lay out all their gear for the day, they noticed water coming in underneath the deck. However, with the deck full of gear, they couldn’t access the deck hatches fast enough to find the source of the leak. A mayday call went out. The vessel soon capsized, and the crew found themselves clinging to a life raft in the Atlantic’s chilly waters. As Capt. Noah Santos arrived on scene to the now fully submerged vessel, three of the four were in survival suits while the fourth was still attempting to don his suit. Santos swiftly recovered all four men and transported them to shore.

Capt. Rodney Jewett Jr., TowBoatUS Grand Strand, South Carolina

The Worrell 1000 is a race that challenges even the hardiest of sailors. So when two competitors aboard their small open sailing catamaran running from Florida to Virginia broke a rudder in windy conditions off South Carolina - overturning the boat and separating the racers from their vessel - Capt. Rodney Jewett Jr. was there to help. While local responders centered their recovery efforts around the empty boat, which had washed ashore, Jewett had a hunch, taking into account the conditions and figuring that anyone in the water would likely attempt to head for the beach. Steering northward, Jewett soon located the two racers in the water and safely recovered them. After repairs, the team was able to finish the race.

Capt. Jordan Kit, TowBoatUS Cleveland, Ohio

One summer night around 2 a.m., VHF radios on Lake Erie’s Cleveland waterfront crackled to life with an urgent message: A recreational vessel with six persons aboard had struck the breakwall near the entrance to Edgewater Yacht Club. TowBoatUS Cleveland homeports at the club, and Kit immediately jumped aboard a towboat and was the first to arrive on scene. With high winds coming off the lake, he worked quickly with arriving U.S. Coast Guard Station Cleveland Harbor responders to safely take three of the stranded boaters aboard, one with a serious arm injury. He then shuttled them to nearby launch ramp to awaiting EMS responders. The Coast Guard safely removed the other three passengers.

Capt. Eric Lundin, TowBoatUS Old Saybrook, Connecticut

Early on a Saturday afternoon in June, Capt. Eric Lundin heard a VHF mayday call about a vessel sinking near a bridge on the Connecticut River. Arriving at the location just 10 minutes later, he found three men in the swift-moving water, none wearing life jackets, clinging to the hull of an overturned vessel still anchored to the bottom. Water temperatures were in the low 60s, a small-craft warning was in effect and there was strong incoming tide, so Lundin got life jackets to each person as a precaution. After getting them safely aboard and sheltered in the towboat’s cabin, Lundin assessed the men, who were showing signs of mild hypothermia, as he swiftly transported them to an awaiting lawenforcement vessel.

New Simrad® HALO® 2000 & HALO® 3000 Radars Debuted Featuring Improved Performance and Higher Power

Egersund, Norway – Simrad Yachting unveiled two of its new high-performance radar products at the 2022 IBEX with the Simrad® HALO® 2000 and HALO 3000 now available to customers around the world. The HALO 2000, starting at $6,399, and HALO 3000, starting at $8,499, both feature higher power pulse compression and improved detection ranges to offer the most powerful Simrad® HALO radars on the market. Other key integrations like Bird+ Mode, ZoneTrack™ and support for Dangerous Target Alerts provide users even more technical and safety benefits.

“We’re proud to be the original inventor and innovator behind solid state recreational marine radar and we are excited to unveil our most powerful radar yet,” said Kevin Steinbraker, VP and General Manager, Digital Systems at Navico Group. “This next-generation open array radar delivers even more power and resolution than before, offering increased safety, more accuracy and better range. By coupling our advanced pulse scheme with our class-leading resolution, we are providing boaters of all types with the

best radar on the market for target detection, resolution, system reliability and ease of use.”

HALO 2000 comes with 50 watts of power, ensuring visibility out to 72 nautical miles, while HALO 3000, Simrad Yachting’s most powerful open array radar with 130 watts of power, provides visibility out to 96 nautical miles. That power is combined with world class beam sharpening for enhanced target separation that is unmatched in the marketplace.

Other technical upgrades include award-winning modes, situational awareness enhancements and ZoneTrack merged into the Simrad® brand’s decades of expertise and experience in radar.

On the HALO 3000, the new Bird+ Mode

activates the radar to solely focus on maximizing 130 watts of power on targeting and identifying flocks of birds at ranges of up to eight nautical miles.

“Simrad Yachting offers a range of HALO Open Array Radars for all types and sizes of boats, depending on your primary boating activity,” said Steinbraker. “With Bird+ mode, exclusive to the HALO 3000 series, it can help serious

offshore anglers find the birds that can help lead to the fish. For the avid boater, HALO 2000 provides the power necessary to see storm cells more clearly at greater distances.”

Day or night, rain or fog, the HALO 2000 and 3000 are a powerful extra set of eyes to help boaters stay aware of approaching vessels, weather, and obstacles.

Typical winter weather patterns have fish adjusting to the changes. Fish seem to be holding closer to their winter haunts, making them easier to locate on the inshore scene. Offshore anglers will still find fish holding tight to structure during fronts and moving off to feed as the weather clears.

INSHORE

Fishing has improved for many anglers over the past couple of weeks. You may still find areas with few fish but finding productive areas will make for more consistent catches. Weather patterns may have much to do with improvement as anglers are finding more consistency. Fish continue to acclimate to the changing weather of warm and cold and have been holding closer to their winter haunts during the warming trends. If you had to choose areas to target, first choose places with deep water, preferably with some tannin or off-color with dark bottom. This will retain heat, especially if it’s sheltered from wind and exposed to direct sunlight. The perfect scenario will be these deep or dark protected areas that are bordered by shallow dark bottoms that have scattered sea grass and possibly some structure such as an oyster bar. Oyster bars nearly always have food, and so does sea grass. Schools of mullet are another bonus, as they attract redfish that move with the schools of mullet as they mill about the sea grass, kicking up small crabs

and shrimp.

Lure choices this time of year are critical to catching fish. Lures that suspend, sink slowly, and that can be moved slowly across the bottom third of the water column will typically be the most productive. Choose lures that are smaller in size, ranging from 2-to 4-inches. On calm days with clear water, clear soft plastic shrimp or killifish imitations with either silver glitter, holographic glitter, or a combination of either with night glow. Stained and murky waters tend to be more productive with chartreuse, fire tiger, and hot pink colors. Basically darker and drab colors such as watermelon/ red glitter, root beer, and motor oil are excellent for this scenario as well. My personal preferences this time of year for soft plastics are the DOA Shrimp, because everything eats a shrimp, and the CAL 3-inch Shad or MirrOlure Marsh Minnow Jr. In hard baits, it’s tough to beat the MirrOlure MirrOdine, (17MR18). These lures will catch just about every inshore species available in the West Central Region.

Working areas of hard bottom in Lower Tampa Bay, anglers are picking up some black seabass using jigs with curly tails tipped with shrimp. In addition, areas with good depth in Tampa Bay ranging from 10-to 20-feet of water are holding some silver trout and speckled trout. A topproducing rig for these is the DOA Deadly Tandem

curly tail jig rig. Years ago, Love’s Lures produced a tandem rig that was the go-to for many anglers, and the DOA Deadly Tandem is a take-off of that rig.

Sarasota Bay anglers have been enjoying some action around the passes and in areas with deep grass like around New Pass and Sister’s Keys for speckled trout, bluefish, and pompano. Capt. Rick Grassett, out of C.B. Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key has put his spin and fly anglers on these fish regularly over the past several weeks.

Anglers reported some pompano action around Pass-A-Grille, John’s Pass, and Clearwater Pass using Doc’s Goofy Jigs. Some of the spoil islands in the ICW have produced some trout, pompano, and redfish. Just inside the passes and around the bridges, black drum have been actively feeding on crabs and shrimp. Most have been in the 2-to 5-pound class. The bridges in middle and upper Tampa Bay have been holding some big black drum in the 20-to 30-pound range.

Mid-Winter Naples, FL Fishing

Report - We’re in typical midwinter southwest Florida fishing conditions. I tell my clients my goal this time of year is to have good action and catch a variety of species. That’s one of the things I love about saltwater fishing is the variety of species and the diverse marine ecosystem in and around the marine environment.

On a recent trip we caught I believe 10 saltwater species including, snook, redfish, sheepshead, snapper, trout, pompano, mojarra, jack crevalle, black drum, and more.

The live pilchards (minnows, scaled sardines or white bait) don’t work as well when the water dips below 70 degrees so we use live shrimp and jigs. There are quite a few different ways to fish live shrimp including freelined, freelined with a split shot to get it to sink some, suspended 3-4’ under a float, attached to a jig or just a piece of shrimp attached to a jig head. All can be effective and sometimes one technique works better than another.

The fishing in Naples, Marco Island and in Florida is affected by the weather and has been typical this winter with cool or cold fronts passing through

every week or two. This drops the water temperature and can stir up the water but usually only lasts a few days and then the wind clocks back around to the east and the weather settles down and warms up again. It’s a fairly consistent pattern.

One of my favorite species that comes through every so often is Bonita as we call them although they are actually false albacore or albies. They are a true pelagic species loving the open water of the Gulf of Mexico. They travel in schools or packs as I call them, marauding bait fish as they go. To locate them we often see birds first as they are chasing the same baitfish the albies are. The albies chase the bait fish to the surface and the birds chase them from above. Albies are real screamers and definitely the best fighting fish we have. On a recent trip we got into them chasing baitfish in a feeding frenzy as far as the eye could see. It was quite a sight.

I’ve noticed the osprey sitting on eggs on their nests recently which to me is the first sign spring is coming. Yes, still a ways off but I look forward every year to the arrival of tarpon, sharks and

Fishing in Naples and Marco Island, looking forward we’re just coming off the new moon so we have good strong tides now and for the next week or so. Good incoming tides in the morning and afternoon falling tides. During the high tides we fish shoreline for snook, redfish and snapper and during the lower tides we sometimes fish the troughs and deeper cuts for trout and pompano.

Hard to believe the new year is upon us; wishing everyone a healthy, happy fishing season. Cold arctic blast for south Florida is long gone, back to fun in sun. The waters are warming up and the fish are happy.

Tarpon fishing is turning back on water temperatures are rising triggering the silver king’s appetite. Outgoing and first of of incoming great times to target tarpon near channels and points, using live baits and DOA Terror Eyz. The tarpon are ranging in size from 5 to 50 pounds.

Snook fanatics the linesiders are abundant in channels and along mangrove shorelines. Live baits and Rapala twitch baits entice the strikes. Sea walls and docks holding snook, also bridges great area to locate bigger snook.

Jack cravelle have really shown up taking residence near channels and deeper holes. Small minnow schools have been abundant so the jacks are crashing these schools. Drum, snapper, bluefish and permit have also been around for anglers to tango with. Shrimp and small jigs near bottom get the strike.

Superb weather the past week made for great days on water. Plenty of sunshine and moderate wind days anglers enjoyed sunshine and rod bending

action.

Channels and backwaters held plenty of tarpon, the bigger Tarpon finicky at times allowed anglers to witness tarpon temperament. Primarily due to the full moon the bite was hit and miss but the juvenile tarpon do have the same mind set as bigger fish at times, they like to eat if baits is around. Live baits and Rapala twitch baits.

Snook fishing was awesome the past week lots of small fish but all four species of snook were caught. Docks also held schooling fish, live baits and jigs worked around pilings got the strike. Fly fishing for snook for multiple days with anglers made for lots of surface strikes and great takes next to the boat.

Rick piles and wrecks held plenty of snapper, drum and schools of jacks, bluefish, lady fish and runners. Jigs and shrimp worked nearhbe bottom got hit almost every drop, creating bent rod and happy anglers.

Cold air! South Florida gets another cold blast, water temperatures dropped and the winds prevailed. Winter time fishing is full of ups and downs in the Palm Beaches. Slow down and stay persistent, you will catch fish.

Sailfish Season

2023 is starting off just fine. We have had some very cold cold fronts which always sparks up the fishing and it has. Sailfishing is consistent and getting better number wise. We have caught a sailfish on every trip this month except for one trip. Our best day was 7 sailfish on a half day trip. The key with sailfishing is having the right conditions. Blue water on the edge with north current is key. We have had some blue water but have been missing on the north current. Even without the north current we have been catching 2 – 5 sailfish per trip. The day we caught 7, we did have north current that day. People often ask how many sailfish is average for a charter during the winter. The answer is usually you should get 3 to 5 sailfish bites per day and if the conditions are awesome, you can easily go into double digit releases. Our personal best on the Double D is 28 sailfish releases in one day.

Besides sailfish, there have been some decent kingfish around as well as a few mahis and surprisingly enough some bigger blackfin tunas. We get the smaller 5 – 10 pound tunas in the winter but this year we have been catching 20 – 30 pound blackfins which are usually the tunas we catch in the spring. I can honestly say I have never in 30 years seen such big blackfin tunas in January. Not only are they big, but they can be plentiful. Just a few days ago we caught 8 blackfins on a half day trip and except for one small one, the rest were 20 – 28 pounds.

With all that said, 2023 is amongst us and now is the time to make your reservations for the year. January is almost over, and February is about half booked already. Book your winter/spring sailfish trips now as well as any wahoo trips you want to make to the islands.

Wahoo fishing is generally good

Southeast Coast

snook always great areas to locate fish as water temperatures are typically warmer. Mangrove shorelines, muddy bottoms snook flock to these zones, live baits, small jigs and twitch baits all tactics to get the strike. Anglers can also target sea walls, docks and bridges working the bottom thoroughly with jigs and live baits dropped to the bottom.

Inlets and channels are holding tarpon on both sides of the tides. Live baits and jigs entice the tarpon to strike. Cleaner water on the high tide causes the tarpon to be finicky at times. Juvenile tarpon prevalent in the backwaters along mangrove shorelines, strike live baits and twitch baits worked slow near pot holes drop offs.

Flats, rock piles, and inshore wrecks great areas to target snapper, jacks, blue runners, drum and many other species. Shrimp and jigs both create rod bending action for anglers. Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

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 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/.

BOAT AMERICA CLASSES – CLEARWATER, FLORIDA COAST GUARD AUXILIARY2023 - The Coast Guard urges recreational boaters, paddlers, anglers, and others to remain safe on the water by taking a Safe Boating Course. A safe boating class can teach about local boating, the value of

wearing a life jacket, and several other lifesaving lessons. A boating safety course will teach the basic skills to operate a vessel safely. It includes the diverse types of boats, their capabilities, and how to choose the right boat for a particular maritime activity. Class members will also learn about various safety equipment and how to use them to avoid accidents. Before heading out onto the open water, it’s crucial to know how to read the weather since Florida is known for its sudden changes from lovely calm seas and winds to thunderstorms, torrential rains, and waterspouts. In the boating safety class, students learn methods for staying safe in any condition, including heavy winds, fog, and severe storms. Boating can be an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family and friends. But it’s essential to be aware of the potential dangers. A class will help the boater avoid being a statistic. It teaches how to handle a boat safely and what to do in an emergency. Finally, taking a boating safety course is a wonderful way to learn the rules and regulations, especially those unique to Florida. Novice and experienced boaters or even non-boaters can benefit from a safe boating course – as an initial learning experience or as a refresher. Regardless of experience level, taking a class is always a good idea. To continue offering these classes safely for the students and instructors, they are being offered on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. Because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! Classes are $50 per student and include books, supplemental materials, and course completion certificates. The next classes begin in January and continue monthly. The whole class schedule and registration are at: www.clwboatingsafety. com/boater-class-registration. 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 727-4698895.
