Freedom Boat Club Continues Global Growth Announcing Expansion to the Asia-Pacific Region and its First Australia Location

SYDNEY, Australia – February 1, 2023 – Freedom Boat Club, a business of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) and the world’s largest boat club, announced today its expansion to the Asia-Pacific region.

Elco and Rock Proof Boats Partner on New Center Console

Elco, pioneer in electric vessel propulsion for 130 years, and Rock Proof Boats, known for aluminum fishing boats built to take on tough waters, have partnered to produce factory-rigged all-electric outboard models. The first in Rock Proof’s ePro Series, the 1760R center console, easily tops 25 mph with two anglers aboard.

Having ramped-up production of the 1760R prior to its debut, Rock Proof Boats has fully-loaded packages powered by the Elco EP-50RL electric outboard in stock and ready for delivery. “You can’t go anywhere right now and buy a boat and electric motor on a trailer, hook it up and go out tomorrow and fish all day,” said Brent Kauffman, Rock Proof Boats owner and founder. “With our new 1760R and Elco, we’ve made that happen.” The standard outboard is the EP-50RL, but other Elco outboards are available as well as a tillersteered configuration.

Rigged to maximize speed in electric-lake fishing tournaments, the 17’ L x 5’ W 1760R’s Elco electric outboard is powered by 23kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries. The combination allows the boat to travel over 15 miles at full throttle; range is around 50 miles at 5 mph and

nearly 100 miles at 4 mph.

“Our pursuit has always been to bring electric propulsion mainstream,” said Elco sales director Dean Heinemann. “That requires an experience comparable to fossil fuel boats, but cleaner, easier and with reduced noise and vibration—all benefits a renewable power solution provides. With the new Rock Proof 1760R, that’s exactly what we can offer consumers today.”

Built for electric propulsion, the Rock Proof 1760R incorporates dedicated battery storage aft, with access similar to an engine compartment. Forward storage accommodates additional propulsion and trolling motor batteries. An integrated 3.3 kW charging system connects to 120V or 240V household power, as well to roadside EV charging stations.

“The 1760R may be an aluminum fishing boat, but don’t call it a jon boat. Fully welded inside and out, it features .125-thickness aluminum construction for exceptional durability. We run our channel from bow to stern to put the strength throughout the boat, not just every two feet running side-to-side like many competitors.

It’s altogether a different, better design,” said Kauffman. The boat features an integrated 18-gallon live well and factory-installed options include trolling motors, power poles, jack plates, locking or open rod storage and a custom aluminum trailer.

The Top 7 Ways to Upgrade Your Boat Trailer

Whenit comes to boating, the boat itself is the star of the show. However, the boat trailer that transports your vessel from place to place is just as important. Whether you’re looking to make your boating experience more efficient or add some style to your setup, upgrading your boat trailer is a great way to do it.

This post will explore seven ways to upgrade your boat trailer and how these upgrades can improve your boating experience. Read on before making any upgrades or buying a boat trailer outright.

Boat Trailer Upgrades to Consider:

1. New Tires

One of the most basic and essential upgrades you can make to your boat trailer is to replace the tires. Old, worn-out tires can be dangerous, as they can blow out or fail at inopportune times. New tires will also improve the handling of your boat trailer, making it easier to tow and maneuver.

New tires will also be more durable and can endure more miles without wear, saving you money in the long run. When buying a trailer or upgrading your existing one, it’s essential to consider the tire options available to you. There are different types of tires, such as radial and bias-ply, and each has its own set of benefits.

Radial tires offer a smoother ride and better fuel efficiency, while bias-ply tires are more durable and can handle heavier loads.

2. LED Lights

LED lights are a great way to upgrade the lighting on your boat trailer. Not only do they consume less power than traditional incandescent bulbs, but they also last much longer and are more durable. LED lights can also be much brighter, making it easier to see your boat trailer in low-light conditions.

This is especially important when towing at

night, as it will make you more visible to other drivers and help you avoid accidents. LED lights are also more energy-efficient, saving you money on your electricity bill over time.

3. New Hitch

A new hitch can improve the towing experience by providing a more secure connection between your boat trailer and your vehicle. Upgrading to a weight-distributing hitch can distribute the weight of your boat more evenly, improving handling and stability. This will make towing your boat more comfortable and safer.

A weight-distributing hitch will also help to reduce the risk of your boat trailer swaying or fishtailing, which can be dangerous when driving at high speeds.

4. Disc Brakes

Disc brakes are another significant upgrade to your boat trailer options. They offer better-stopping power than traditional drum brakes and are less likely to fade under heavy use. Disc brakes also require less maintenance.

There are different types of brakes, such as hydraulic and electric, and each has its own set of benefits. Choose brakes that are the right size and weight capacity for your boat trailer, as this will ensure that they provide the best performance.

5. New Coupler

A new coupler can help to improve the connection between your boat trailer and your vehicle. A coupler that’s in good condition will provide a secure connection, which will help to reduce the risk of your boat coming loose while you’re towing it. This is an essential component of your boat trailer, and it’s crucial to ensure it’s in good working condition.

Wheel bearings are a critical component of your boat trailer’s suspension system. They help to keep the wheels spinning smoothly and are essential for maintaining proper alignment. And like hitches, upgrading to new wheel bearings will help to improve the handling and stability of your boat trailer while helping you feel safer and more comfortable.

7.

A new winch is an excellent option to make loading and unloading your boat easier. A winch can help pull your boat onto the trailer, making it easier to secure it. A winch can also help launch your boat, saving you time and effort.

Pricing Expectations

All these upgrades can be done by yourself or a professional mechanic. It depends on your skills and budget. With respect to pricing, the cost of your boat trailer upgrade will vary depending on the upgrades you choose.

• New tires: $50 to $200

• LED lights: $40 to $60

• New hitch: $100 to $300

• Disc brakes: $200 to $400

• New coupler: $50 to $100

• New wheel bearings: $50 to $100

• New winch: $200 to $500

In addition to the cost of the upgrades, you should also consider the installation cost. Some upgrades, like new tires or LED lights, can be installed relatively easily, while others, like disc brakes or a new hitch, may require more specialized tools or skills.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to upgrade your boat trailer options is a personal one.

However, if you’re looking to improve your boating setup’s performance, safety, and style, a boat trailer upgrade can be a great way to do it.

Plus, these upgrades can act as excellent gifts for the boater in your family.

What to Consider

When upgrading your boat trailer, it’s important to consider your specific needs and goals. You may be a first-time boat owner, and these upgrades aren’t as important to you. Or maybe you’re a seasoned veteran who thinks upgrades could be beneficial but doesn’t know where to start. Here’s some inspiration:

For example, if you’re looking to improve the towing experience, a new hitch or disc brakes might be the way to go. If you want to make loading and unloading your boat easier, a new winch might be the right choice. And if you’re looking to add style to your setup, new LED lights or a new coupler might be the perfect upgrade.

Another thing to consider when upgrading your boat trailer is the age of the trailer. Consider a complete upgrade if your boat trailer is over a few years old. This can include new suspension, axles, and other components.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, Upgrading your boat trailer can be a great way to improve your boating experience and make it safer, more efficient, and more stylish. From new tires and LED lights to new hitches and disc brakes, plenty of options are available to suit your needs and budget.

So, whether you’re looking to buy a boat trailer or upgrade your existing one, be sure to explore all the boat trailer options available to you and find the best solution for your needs.

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.

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/boaterclass-registration.

Captain’sCorner

Fishing Knowledge: A Key to a Successful Day

As a captain, I am often asked the question, “how do you know where fish are day after day?” First, we are not magicians; we just apply some common sense and fishing knowledge. This doesn’t mean we can’t have a bad day, but our chances of catching fish are better than the average angler.

The two things we stress in our fishing school is learning the “When – Where” of catching fish. I will try to explain each one as it relates to Tampa Bay.

To know When, we must understand solunar tables, moon phases and currents.

Solunar tables are what I call nature’s clock. During a 24-hour period, we have 2 major and 2 minor feeding periods. This doesn’t mean that fish feed only during these times, but the chances of catching more fish exist.

Major periods are the best time to fish. These periods begin at the times the moon is above or below where you are fishing and lasts approximately two hours.

Minor periods are good but do not last as long. These periods begin when the moon is rising or setting.

Tides are the result of centrifugal forces caused by the gravitational attractions between the Moon, Sun, and Earth, in combination with the Earth spinning on its axis and the Moon circling the Earth in the opposite direction of the Earth’s spin. The moon rotates on its axis in exactly the length of time that it circles around the earth. The moon takes approximately 2.3 day to circle the earth.

A tide is the vertical motion or rise and fall of water. Tide tables give the daily predictions of the times and heights of high and low waters.

There are many explanations and descriptions of tidal movements, as well as reasons and suppositions as to why tides occur. Much of the terminology

refers to the same three tidal phenomena of spring tide, neap tide, and vanishing tide.

Spring tide, Neap tide, Vanishing tides.

Spring tide, the best fishing tide, is an extra high tide occurring semi-monthly at the time of the Full Moon and New Moon. It brings an extra high-high-water and lower low water. The Sun, Moon, and the Earth are in a straight line over a given point on Earth. Waters 200 miles away will experience a different tidal occurrence because the moon will not be directly over that geographical position.

Neap tide, the least desirable time to fish, is a smaller tide, occurring monthly at the same time of the Moon’s first quarter and last quarter. There is not much difference between high and low water. The celestial bodies are not in phase with each other, creating less gravitational pull on the water even though the centrifugal force from the spinning Earth remains the same.

Vanishing tides, are when the highs and lows are indistinguishable in a mixed tide.

Terms to remember.

When the tides are in full swing, the Flood Current will flow from the sea into harbors, rivers, and bay waters. (Rising tide)

When the tides are lowering, the Ebb Current from the bay, rivers, and harbors will flow in down-stream direction toward and out to the sea. (Fallen tide)

Currents are horizontal movements of water. The average current flow of a tide in a confined area is approximately 61/4 hours and then it stops, reverses direction and flows for approximately the same length of Slack water is the condition where there is no current in the water. The water is in a stationary condition just before and after a tidal change, such as an Ebb or Flood

Where, we can break it down into Winter and Summer.

Winter, look for rocks that are close to the surface during low tides and seawalls. They act as a heater radiating the sun’s heat into the water. Ever wondered why fish swim along the outer edges of a seawall or circle rock piles? Creeks and rivers generate heat from decaying matter, and the muddy bottom also tends to retain heat longer. Docks not only generate heat but also create a haven for many species of fish. The bigger the boat dock, the better the spot to fish, as larger boats tend to leave deeper holes from prop wash in the water. Power plants are another good source of heat, especially in extreme low temperatures.

Always fish the west side of the bay in the morning, as the sun’s rays will heat this area first. Fish the east side in the afternoon. Winter provides us the best view of the areas we can fish due to extreme low tides, which expose cuts along the mangroves, oyster beds and potholes that are hidden during the summer months.

Summer, look for points of ambush or cuts in the mangroves where water drains with the outgoing tide. Structures are great for holding fish. I have one spot where someone threw an old truck tire; you can count on snook and redfish to be around it during high tide. Redfish tend to hang-out around schooling mullet, as they tend to stir up the bottom, bringing up small crabs and shrimp, making a feast for following redfish. Artificial reefs are also great this time of year for mackerel, snook and grouper.

NEARSHORE REPORT

Right now, near shore we’re seeing a really good bite of hogfish! The hogfish action is going well and should continue to go well until that water starts to warm up. We’re not very far from the water warming up so get out and get your opportunity for good biting concentrated hogfish prior to this spring setting settling into our area. Right now, we’re seeing those hogfish on our five-hour half days and 10 hour all days pretty heavily along with some of the private fishing charters as well. The hogfish love light tackle especially smaller hooks and live shrimp. Typically, we’re using around three to four out hooks and live shrimp for the hogfish action. They normally will bite the naked ball jigs or other ball jigs or the banana jigs plus, we get them on the knocker rigs too. The best place to look for the hogfish is right around 30 to 70 foot of water typically. We find them on smaller hard structure like small ledges and rock piles. We also find hogfish over large areas of flat hard bottom especially areas with sea fans and small coral heads that hogfish loved to camouflage with. You can even find hogfish commonly on that shell bottom adjacent to areas of hard bottom or bigger ledges. It’s a lot easier to target hogfish and smaller structures In these areas because there’s less more aggressive fish around. Around larger structures and larger reef complexes there’s often too many other more aggressive fish around to really target hogfish with hook and line with any level of

OLD SALT FISHING FOUNDATION – Old Salt Runs Great Fishing Tournaments. Old Salt got its start because of fishing tournaments. One tournament in particular, the Loop Tournament, in 1971. “Tournament” isn’t just our middle name, it’s our actual name; Operation Loop Development, Southern Anglers Loop Tournament… OLD SALT. We know saltwater fishing tournaments about as well as anyone. We run some of the best fishing tournaments in Florida, heck, maybe in the world. We offer competitive, seawall and sanctioned, tournaments for anglers who fish inshore, offshore, in a boat, in a kayak, on the beach, a seawall or a pier. Proceeds from Old Salt tournaments go to help fund our good works partners and fishing programs. Learn more about the Old Salt Fishing Foundation and the work we do.

efficiency or effectiveness. The reason is hogfish are typically very leader shy and slow to bite very unaggressive fish for the most part. Typically, you have to catch a bunch of the other species around that are more aggressive and kind of get them out of the way before you can start catching the hogfish with hook and line. Fishing with us on a party boat can sometimes make it a little easier because there’s other people on board helping you do that work when you’re out fishing by yourself or in a buddy’s boat makes it a little bit more challenging because you got a lot of fish to catch before you can get those hogfish chewing.

Also, we’re seeing a lot of good lane snapper action in this area that we’re targeting and catching the hogfish we’re seeing big numbers of pretty large average size lane snapper. The lane snapper have increased in average size dramatically plus expanded their spatial range dramatically too that simply means we find them in a more broad area than we ever have before.

Before when I was growing up we would catch lane snapper occasionally anywhere from about 30 to about 90 foot of water nowadays you catch lane snapper regularly anywhere from the beach all the way out to 160 to 180 foot of water it’s incredible how often and how broadly we see them across a large geographic region. Lane

snapper are a really good eating fish they have nice white meat and they’ll bite just about anything we put down which makes them a fun target for any experience level angler. Lane snapper are typically like mangrove snapper and they’re going to be pretty hard bottom and structure oriented.

Speaking of mangrove snapper, we’re seeing a decent mangrove snapper bite near shore especially on our ten hour all days in private fishing charters. Typically, we’re catching the mangrove snapper using the live shrimp or cut thread fins. However you can catch mangrove snapper using live shrimp as well.

Red grouper action is going pretty good near shore too we’re seeing a lot of those juvenile red grouper while targeting the hogfish lane snapper and mangroves and shallower near shore waters. In order to get cheaper red grouper and better concentrations we’re having to fish in the much deeper offshore waters as deep as you can go near shore around 100 foot to a shallows around 70 foot is a good depth range to have a better chance at finding a keeper red grouper near shore. Once we get deeper the red grouper bite is much better and we’re much more often seen keeper size right grouper out in this depth range.

As the days grow longer and the ocean begins its gradual warming phase, 68 to 72-degree range, the spring fishing bonanza on the Indian Lagoon Coast of Florida kicks in. Thus far we’ve experienced a warmer than normal winter and as of this correspondence the water temperature at the Canaveral Nearshore Buoy Station 41113 is 72 degrees. As usual, weather will serve as the determining factor in establishing the magnitude and progression of the bite and the predator species we love to catch.

Increasing water temperature will facilitate the progression of bait pods (Atlantic menhaden or pogies) from the deeper water into the near-shore waters bringing the predator species with them. As always, sea and weather conditions will determine the number of fishable days we’ll experience in March. This is especially true for those of us who target ocean species in shallow water boats. We have already experienced some good cobia days and an excellent tripletail season which should only get better and migrating fish move into our area from the south.

Other near-shore options in March consist of tripletail hanging on floating structure and weeds and large redfish, jacks and sharks shadowing bait pods along the beaches and in the inlets around midmonth. When site fishing for cobia and tripletail, consider fishing in the latter part of

What an eat!

I was looking forward to fishing with long time client Maria and throwing a fly with her. We started off focusing on bonefish and 5 minutes into the trip she hooked and landed a tiny 10” bonefish, so cute and a great sign of the health of our bonefishery. OK, cool start but let’s get an upgrade. Ha, we had to work for that upgrade! Finally the tide turned and under perfect conditions I set up on a spot I like but hadn’t fished in a while. I had a good feeling about this spot and it lived up to its history. School after school of bonefish started to move through and Maria kept getting solid shots. After too many shots and casts that should’ve rewarded her, it finally happened.

A school cam in perfectly at her 11 o’clock. I point them out and tell her to cast at 11 o’clock. She makes a good cast but it was off by a few feet and by this time the school pushes towards her 12 o’clock and moving straight at us. I tell her to pick up the fly and just roll cast at her 12. She did just that and dropped

the day when the sun is overhead as the water is warmer and visibility is better. Also, keep a sharp eye out for large manta rays shadowed by cobia and always keep a chartreuse colored buck tail in the ready position to cast at any brown clowns wondering into casting range. Along the beaches and around the inlets look for snook in close to structure and a mixture of pompano, whiting, sheepshead, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, redfish and black drum in close to shore.

As our water warms up and the silver mullet returns to the inshore lagoon flats, look for redfish schools to continue to form up in the skinny water. For the slot redfish, 18 to 27 inches, focus on areas of flipping and jumping baitfish (mullet) in water depths of 12 to 18 inches. For the larger redfish, concentrate your efforts along deeper edges of the flats and sandbars in 2 to 3 feet of water. Also, sea trout will continue to hold in the skinny water potholes, and the topwater sea trout bite will improve as the warmer water draws finger mullet back onto the central IRL flats. Additionally, schools of black drum will continue to inhabit the shallow water flats of the Mosquito Lagoon, North IRL with the larger black drum holding in the deeper channels and around bridge structures.

Finally, the American shad run is waning on the upper St John’s River between the areas of

didn’t and as Maria stripped the fly we watched the big bonefish chase down the fly and eat it a few feet from the boat! What???!!! Awesome! Oh, and the big bone starts to smoke the fly reel and got deep into the backing twice causing me to have to pole after it to recover some line. After an awesome fight Maria released her biggest bonefish to date, a solid 10-11 pounder. Wow! The rest of the trip was pretty and slow but the fish of the day was taken care of and anything after would have been icing.

It was good today!

I had Paul today and he wanted to hunt for bonefish. He typically fishes in the keys but wanted to check out Biscayne Bay. We started off fishing the west side of the bay but it was pretty slow. Finally he hooked up and landed the first bonefish of the day. Once the tide was right we headed to the oceanside flats and that proved to be the right move as the only three flats we fished held fish. On the first flat I saw three bonefish cruising and told him where to cast. Paul didn’t see them but made a perfect cast and a few moments later he was on releasing his second bonefish of the day a few long runs later. The second flat had some bones tailing in a bit deeper water and he got a bite but missed it. The last flat had some big fish

Central Florida

Lake Harney and the SR 50 Bridge, as this years run has been slow to say the least. March is also the month to start targeting schooling largemouth and sunshine bass in the deeper bends of the river at first light feeding on schools of baitfish (threadfin shad). The indicator I use to locate these schooling bass is to look for large numbers of white pelicans, herons, and egrets working the banks. Once you’ve located the schooling fish, try throwing a 6” DOA Shad Tail on top or a rattle-trap or other small subsurface swim bait into the mix. Last year the bass fishing did not materialize in areas south of Lake Jessup, so I’m hoping for a better season this year. Water levels this spring on the St Johns River are currently dropping out, but a good spring rain event could easily turn that around.

Spring is one of the best times to fish the Indian River Lagoon coast of Florida. So, if you are planning to visit the area, make sure you book your hotel and fishing guide early. Also, when the bite is on, the ramps fill up quickly, so arrive early, be polite and considerate with other anglers, because we are all on the water for the same reasons, to have fun and catch fish.

mudding and tailing in super shallow water. Once again he made a precision cast and was rewarded with a nice big fish. Wow, what a day!

Back on Track!

Fishing was on fire until the big cold front we had on 12/24 and ever since it’s been relatively slow. Oh but today! Today was different, with seemingly identical conditions to yesterday and the day before it finally popped and the fish were everywhere! Ira and his son in law David booked me for bonefishing and I have to tell you, I was holding my breath, especially after there was no activity for the first hour. Ira let me know his freshwater guide a few miles north of us told him just the day before they were struggling to catch fish as well. Hmmm. Well, after a while Ira’s rod doubles over and he is on to the first bonefish of the day, a solid 8lb fish. Later David landed his fish at about 9 lbs and then three more come to the boat for a total of 6 fish hooked and 5 landed. Wow, that felt great. They’re back!!!!
