Themarket’s swimming with overpriced dive watches.

We’re here to tell you those guys are all wet. At Stauer our philosophy is everyone deserves the best without having to dig deep into their pockets. We’ve been in the watch industry for decades and know more than a thing or two about getting the ultimate bang for our buck— which means we can pass the fruits of our know-how onto our clients.

Case in point: The Explorer Dive Watch. This tough-as-nails sophisticate would cost you in the thousands if you got it from a high-end retailer that’s really in the business of selling a big name more than a quality watch. We keep the big names out of the equation so we can price this top-notch timepiece for just $99 ––a price that let’s you dive in and have enough left over for an excursion or two...or three.

You’re getting a lot for your money with this watch. The Explorer is the perfect companion in any locale–– whether you’re exploring coral reefs or investigating the rum options at a beachside bar. With a case, band and crown of stainless steel, this watch is built to last, and its water resistance rating of 20 ATM means it can handle most of your aquatic adventures to a depth of 678 feet. The striking metallic blue face reflects the

deep waters it was designed to explore and it’s sporty screw-down crown can take the pressure in stride.

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you are not completely convinced you got excellence for less, simply return the Explorer Dive Watch within 30 days for a refund of the item price. At Stauer, we never leave our customers high and dry. Limited Edition. Sure you could give your hard-earned money to those other guys, but why would you? We’ve got the thinking man’s timepiece right here. This watch takes six months to engineer and it’s already making waves, so we can’t guarantee it will be around for long. Call today, and experience how good it feels to get true luxury for less.

Athe cooler waters of great depths, deep-water grouper are some of the better tasting sh in the ocean. of deep-water grouper we target o coast of the Florida Keys are snowy grouper and yellowedge grouper. ey are found in depths of 400 to 1,000 feet.

Yellowedge are open year-round, and they can be a little di cult to nd. ey congregate in localized areas in depths between 600 and 800 feet. You might nd snowies and tile sh where you nd yellowedges, but this is not true the other way around. When you nd an area with yellowedge grouper, mark it, save it, and do not over sh it. Keep your harvest light, and this honey-hole will produce for you again in the future.

When making a deep-dropping rig, use larger hooks on the top and bottom of a ve-hook rig. Mustad 11/0 circle hooks provide excellent hookup ratios for this kind of shing. A x larger baits on these hooks, with the bottom intended for yellowedge, and the top intended for snowy grouper. Pepper in smaller ones in the middle for tile sh.

e nice part about dropping ve hooks is you can play with a variety and see what works. e best

to do what it is made to do.

Bait selection can vary greatly, so use anything and everything. I use chunks of fresh sh, with skin that will stay on the hook longer, for my top and bottom hooks, and squid in the middle. At least one hook should have some greasy, oily, stinky squid for deep dropping.

When it comes to catching deep-water species such as grouper, tile sh, barrel sh and rosies, you don’t need to break the bank to get a reliable electric set-up. e lower priced reels can handle these and can be paired with a rod and stacked with line on a budget of $1,000 to $2,000. I don’t recommend buying these used, as everything electronic on the water has a shelf life, and you never know how they were cared for previously.

With mahi-mahi still prevalent in o shore waters, and with snowy grouper still in season, the timing is perfect to hunt yellowedge grouper. If you aren’t interested in the trial and error of searching the depths of the vast ocean by yourself, Sweet

Gosnold Behavioral Health Takes Part In 7th Annual Charter Cup Fishing Tournament

The 7th Annual Charter Cup Fishing Tournament, sponsored by EJ Jaxtimer Building held on July 12, 2023, at Baxter’s Fish ‘N Chips in Hyannis, MA. The annual fishing tournament’s mission is for local businesses and charter fishing boats to come together to raise money for local charities in need of funding.

Since its inception in 2017, the Charter Cup Fishing Tournament has raised over $1.7 million, including $500,000 this year. The tournament gives 100% of the profits raised to participating nonprofits that provide much-needed services, including emergency flights for critically ill patients, physical/mental fitness for people in recovery, programs for physically/mentally challenged adults, and equitable healthcare for the homeless. It also supports kids fighting cancer, early childhood education, addiction intervention and rehabilitation, local law enforcement efforts, at-risk youth programs, affordable housing projects, and affordable healthcare for people with diabetes.

took part in the day-long event, including Gosnold Behavioral Health.

Located in Falmouth, Gosnold has provided award-winning behavioral health and substance use treatment, for over 50 years. Gosnold is a nationally accredited non-profit leader in the prevention and treatment of substance use and mental health care. Gosnold offers a comprehensive array of services for adults and their families, community support and education throughout Massachusetts.

“Being a part of this extraordinary event is an absolute privilege. Cape Cod’s is a tight knit community and together we strive to uplift every individual and to nurture the health of the whole community,” said Danae Young, Senior Director of Operations at Gosnold Behavioral Health.

team at Beacon Marine is committed to delivering exceptional service and handling every job with the same dedication and attention to detail.

Co-Owner Jonathan Hagenstein started the company in partnership with longtime friends.

“We have a successful partnership in the work that we do, and a great friendship outside of work,” Hagenstein explained.

Giving back to the community they serve is a big part of Beacon Marine Construction and its culture, so the idea of getting involved in the event and supporting Team Gosnold was a no-brainer for Hagenstein.

Gosnold’s mission and work really resonated with Hagenstein when deciding to charter a boat for the team.

“A lot of the issues that Gosnold works to resolve have impacted my close friends,” he said. “I grew up on the Cape when the opioid epidemic was just getting underway and several of my friends and neighbors went down a rough road. Luckily, they were able to come out of it with the help of nonprofits like Gosnold, that foster healing and inspire individuals and communities to live healthier lives.”

This year, 14 charities

One local business that supported Team Gosnold during the Charter Cup was Beacon Marine Construction, a leader in residential and commercial waterfront improvement throughout Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts. The

“We have been hoping to get involved in the Charter Cup for a couple of years and we were very excited to participate for the first time this year,” said Hagenstein. “We decided to sponsor Gosnold because of the life changing impact the organization has on the surrounding community. It was a simple choice, and we look forward to giving back to the community.”

With the help of partners like Beacon Marine Construction, the event was a successful one for Gosnold. The Gosnold team raised $11,000, money that will be put back into the community by supporting Gosnold’s comprehensive programs and treatment options.

“We are fortunate to be in a position where we can give back and sponsoring Gosnold for the Charter Cup is a great way to have a huge impact on the local community,” Hagenstein said.

August is a hot month with warm water temps. This is typically the month most consider the slowest, but there are still some excellent fishing opportunities to take advantage of. The two species we focus on the most in August are striped bass from kayaks and vertical jigging for lake trout in our boat. Both offer great opportunities for non-stop action if you know where and when to look.

New Hampshire Fishing Forecast

By Tm Moore

Early mornings will still o ffer great surface action for schoolie stripers. Once the sun hits the water the fish will move deeper in search of cooler water. Surface plugs, flies, and shades will all catch fish. Once the fish go down, vertical jigs and live bait will be your best bet, especially for larger fish. In August, our biggest fish almost always come at night using live eels. Drifting or slow-trolling eels in shallow water after dark is a very effective technique, as the bigger fish will wait until

the sun sets before moving into shallow water in search of food.

On the freshwater side of things, lake trout become extremely predictable as they school up in deep water. We look for fish in 100’ of water over deeper holes. I’m even more excited for this year, because my latest signature series lure from Daddy Mac Lures, the Nervous Minnow, is out and has this fishery written all over it. Vertical jigging in August is a num-

bers game. Our clients can expect to count between 10 and 50 fish in a four-hour trip. The key to this fishery is to get there early. The fish rarely bite in the dark, but as soon as there is some light in the sky expect things to pick up in an instant.

CRAPPIE TIPS for Deep Summer

Spring is long gone and so are the quick limits of shallow-water crappie. at doesn’t mean you can’t go load the cooler with some slabs for a sh fry; it just means you’ll have to work a little harder. Here are a few tips to help you catch crappie when the weather and water are hot.

Trust the Electronics: Sonar is your best friend when crappie move deep. You might know where good brush and structure are on your lake, but you won’t know where the schools of crappie are until you spot them on the graph. Use side-scan to look under docks and around points, ledges, ditches and creek and river channels. Don’t even bother wetting a line until you’ve located sh with your electronics.

Find the Shade: Crappie don’t like the sun, and deepwater docks or piers can be the mother lode on bright days. Even underwater structure like ledges, humps and creek channels provide shade. Pay attention to the location of the sun, and then start searching the side of a given piece of structure that will provide some shade.

Go Early: ere’s no sense baking in the sun for a few sh when you can load the boat in just a few hours before and a er daybreak. Boat tra c and water temps are both lower in the morning, which means crappie and the small bait sh they feed on will be most active. In the morning, crappie move shallower up on the humps and ledges to chase bait. ey are more likely to bite when they are actively feeding.

Troll the Humps: O shore humps that top out at 15 feet or deeper will hold crappie this time of year. ey’re even better when there’s brush on them. Early and late, or if there is some dam-generated current, the sh will move

up to feed on these humps. ey suspend o the sides when the sun is high or the water is still. Slowly pull a spread of jigs or small, deep-diving crankbaits or spoons over and around humps where you’ve located sh. Pay close attention to how deep your lures are getting and add weight if you need to get them deeper.

Shoot Docks: Main-lake docks with 15 or more feet of water under them are comfortable places for crappie to hang out when the water is warm. Shoot lightweight jigs as far under these docks as you can, and let them sink slowly to the bottom before beginning a steady retrieve. If there are sh under a dock, they usually won’t let that jig hit the bottom.

Drown a Minnow: A school of crappie suspended o structure at 15 or 25 feet over a 40-foot bottom can be a frustrating scenario. You see them on your electronics, but they are slow to bite. Try dropping a live minnow down there where you’re marking sh. en just let it sit. e bites will be light, so pay attention.

massive sheepshead and gator trout. Touted as the “Best Inshore Fishing in the World,” Shell Beach did not disappoint! e red sh shing was incredible! We hooked some giants, some we never even saw!

We shed spinning gear and 17- to 20-pound line with 2/0 circle hooks baited with either live shrimp or chunks of fresh blue crab. We also used two di erent techniques. Some of us popped a Cajun under cork. I used a Carolina rig, with the weight on my line, then a barrel swivel and an 18-inch leader terminating in my 2/0 BKK circle hook with a live shrimp.

Now… back to the sh we never saw! We shed some ats right where the tall marsh grass met the canals. e water was usually less than a foot deep. We would cast right next to the grass and wait for sh that were cruising this edge in search of food. en it was on! Your line would cut a wake as the sh ran for deep water and peeled drag. ese sh used any structure or rocks they could nd to break o . Even when they ran to deep water, they just kept going. We broke several lines before deciding to pull up anchor and chase the next big one.

at worked well, so we started chasing down lots of big red sh. Blake hooked one with the popping cork that broke him o . Later, we spotted the cork in the shallows and eased up to try to net it. Just as we got to it, the sh took o and was never seen again.

e days were hot, in the low to mid 90s with pop-up thunderstorms every day. One day we even spotted two waterspouts. We did our best to dodge all that, but we did get wet a few times. e last 30 minutes of daylight were always the most productive. We shed rock walls and hooked up several big red sh each evening. Mixed in with the red sh were some giant sheepshead that fell for the same tactics as the reds. Blue crabs are everywhere. You can catch them with a long-handle dip net or rod and reel.

Shell Beach is in St. Bernard Parish on the Gulf Outlet Canal near Lake Borgne, just 30 minutes from New Orleans. We plan on going back next year.

Tennessee Angler Breaks His Own State Record

Aer a grueling 15-minute battle while shing solo, angler Micka Burkhart successfully netted and boated a 122-pound blue cat sh from Tennessee’s Cumberland River on June 28. e sh is a pending state record that should top the 118.7-pound record mark, which Burkhart set himself at Barkley Reservoir last September.

e whole ght can be viewed on a video posted to Burkhart’s YouTube channel, with the action climaxing as Burkhardt breathlessly pleads with the sh and promises to release it if he can just get it in the net.

Burkhart’s monster blue o cially weighed 122.3 pounds and measured 57.5 inches long, with a 42.25-inch girth. It ate a white bass head shed on 40-pound-test line. A er transporting the sh in a large livewell on his trailered boat to get o cial measurements, Burkhart returned to the Cumberland River and successfully released it back to the Stewart County stretch in northwest Tennessee near the Kentucky and Missouri borders.

A Time of Porpoise

Amemorable beach moment: You’re basking in the warm sun, toes in the sand, letting the gentle turn of the foam-capped waves lull you into a state of complete relaxation. As your eyes scan the endless horizon of blue on blue, you’re rewarded with a school of dolphins making their way across the sea.

There’s no denying their signature shape as they leap from the water. If you don’t see anything else extraordinary the rest of day, you can take solace knowing you’ve witnessed one of nature’s most playful and human-like creatures in their natural habitat.

Why not re-create that special moment with our Balinese Dolphin Pendant? We’ve captured two dolphins mid-jump in sterling silver crafted in the Balinese style. Tucked between these beloved sea mammals is a full carat of shimmering blue topaz. Made by some of Indonesia’s finest artisans, this pendant is an absolute steal at JUST $29! That’s what we call our Stauer IMPOSSIBLE PRICE!
