20 ATM Dive Watch just $99

“You simply will not find a better made precision dive watch for such an unbelievable price.” –– George Thomas, Noted watchmaker & historian

OUR CLIENTS LOVE STAUER DIVE WATCHES…



“...I love it. I have several Stauer watches and once again you don’t disappoint.” — F., Jersey City, NJ

Your Greenlight to A Deep Dive Without Going in the Red At just $99, the Evergreen Diver goes deep without going overboard on price.

E

very year in Basel, Switzerland, the world’s best-known luxury watchmakers gather to display their new timepieces. It’s a great event for spotting timepieces that standout–– in performance and in personality. We saw one impossible to ignore: a precision dive watch with an arresting green dial. But we also saw the five-figure price tag and knew we could bring our customers that exact same precision and stand out appeal for a whole lot less. The Stauer Evergreen Diver is that timepiece. Built like a submersible battleship with a stainless steel case, caseback, and band, the Evergreen Diver is water-resistant down to 660 feet or 20 atmospheres, a feat facilitated by a hardened crystal and screw-down crown.

“Whether you’re looking for something to wear in the ocean, the office, and everywhere in between, a diver’s watch is for you.”

Green On Your Wrist AND In Your Pocket. You could pay an awful lot elsewhere for this verdant virtuoso, but the majority of the cost is in the big designer name upcharge. We think those guys are all wet. This is how you own a top-of-the-line dive watch without helping pay for some marketing guy’s yacht.

DECEMBER 2023

inter fishing in the Florida Keys can be a double-edged sword. This time of year can be limited by more frequent windy days. However, some of our best fishing occurs very close to land this time of year, and you don’t have to go far to get into the heart of it. Snapper are always a viable option on the reef, and targeting them also provides the opportunity to fill up the livewell with fresh ballyhoo to use for sailfish, which will be showering bait under diving frigates. If you happen to get out there on a sporty day, and the thought of rocking on anchor first thing in the morning makes your stomach turn, wahoo might be a better option. Trolling lures can be productive for targeting wahoo, and reduces the rocking of the boat that causes seasickness. Utilizing deep-diving lures, planers and trolling sinkers, there are countless ways to set up an efficient wahoo spread that can be pulled at varying speeds. Since wahoo like their baits moving quickly, high-speed trolling is a great way to target them while lessening other species as bycatch. Another great option for wahoo fishing is using live bait. This method is more exciting, and uses bait that can be acquired without dropping anchor. With wahoo rigs already set with wire leaders, and extra prerigged leaders on hand, head out to the wrecks to catch fresh bait. When targeting bigger baits like bonita, blue runners and goggle eyes for wahoo, use a heavier rod and reel, with the appropriately overpowered sabiki rig. Accounting for tangles, breakoffs and unwanted mackerel attention, make sure to have more than a few extra sabiki rigs on board. Affix a weight to the sabiki and drop it down to fill the well with blue runners, or troll the sabiki over schools of bonita, hooking them immediately to the wahoo rig and sending them back out. Power drift or bump troll a spread of live baits with some weightless, flatlined on the surface, or even under a kite, and others at varying depths with a breakaway weight or downrigger. Watching a hungry wahoo skyrocket on a surface bait provides all the adrenaline needed to knock any lingering seasickness out of you. Wahoo are excellent table fare, and they are also one of the best fighting fish you can target. Keep in mind that if your line goes slack, they might be swimming toward the boat. It is a wahoo until it’s not a wahoo, so keep reeling until you see the end of your line. Charter fishing in the Florida Keys is busy during the winter, so make sure to book your charter in advance.

troll up WINTERTIME SLAB CRAPPIE C

By Nick Carter

old water makes catching fish more difficult, right? Not with crappie, according to allaround outdoorswoman Terrie Huffmaster. She looks forward to deep winter, when she can load the boat with the biggest slabs of the year. Huffmaster is a South Georgia farm girl from Quitman, way down on the Florida border, so she calls crappie speckled perch, or specks for short. “You catch the bigger specks in wintertime,” she said. “I like to go into the deeper water trolling for them.” A great thing about crappie is they’re predictable. In spring they move shallow to spawn, but throughout the rest of the year they are nomads in search of comfortable water temperatures. You’ll always find them near structure or cover, and they are usually schooled up tightly. Huffmaster fishes for specks on Lake

Seminole, a nearly 40,000-acre impoundment that straddles the Georgia/Florida border. It’s a relatively shallow lake, full of stumps, brush and submerged grass. When Huffmaster says “deeper water,” she means the deepest water Seminole has, which is 25 to 30 feet. Trolling delivers both quality and quantity when water temps are in the mid to high 50s. But Huffmaster isn’t looking for a 30-fish limit. She’s hunting 10 or so giant specks in the 15- to 18inch range. She catches a lot of smaller fish in the process, but she throws those back. “When you get on ’em good, it’s crazy how

many you can catch,” she said. This is how she gets on them: Huffmaster has a line she trolls that she’s identified on electronics and with previous success. It’s just outside a channel marker, where there’s a ton of submerged trees, stumps and other brush and debris to hold fish. She pulls jigs over deep water and up over humps and ledges that rise to as little as 5 feet. “You keep that trolling motor on low,” she said, “just enough where your line’s pulling, where you’re barely trolling.” Huffmaster said there’s no need to deploy huge spreads from a bank of rod holders. She fishes just one, maybe two rods at a time. Her favorites are a lightweight Mr. Crappie Slab Shaker combo and a Lew’s 6-foot Ultra Light with a Lazer Light Speed Spin 75 reel. She spools up with 8-to 10-pound braided main line and uses a 4- or 6-pound fluorocarbon leader tied to a 1/16-ounce Crappie Magnet Fin Spin or a Mr. Crappie jig head. Paddletail and curly tail bodies both have their place. Chartreuse/pearl and pumpkin are good colors. She trolls her jigs 10 to 15 feet behind the boat and keeps a loose drag so the hook doesn’t tear out of a crappie’s paper-thin mouth. “Call me old fashioned, but that’s how we do it,” she said. “And we don’t seem to have any problem catching a mess of them… and some big ones.

Which Would You Change First? By Capt. Michael Okruhlik

C

hange is inevitable. In all aspects of life, change is necessary. This is especially true for anglers. When things are not going right, we immediately think of the next lure to throw. We all embark on our fishing journeys with a plan before hitting the water. We may base it on predicted conditions, time of year, experience, or possibly, but hopefully not, a social media post. Let’s discuss what I would do when plan-A doesn’t produce as envisioned. Imagine we are in the perfect looking spot, conditions are exactly as planned, active bait is visible in the area, the tide is flowing, but nothing is biting. Most of us would make a change, and I think we are all in agreement that our first correction would not be to move with everything looking right. Now, here is where I feel most people will make a mistake. Let’s say we are throwing soft-plastic paddletails. What is the first thing you would change?

PHOTO COURTESY OF KNOCKIN TAIL LURES®.

SIZE OR COLOR:

I bet you said color. Am I right? During my decades of fishing the salty bays and marsh, I’ve found that color is the last thing I should change. If some bass fishermen are reading this article, I am solely basing this theory on saltwater for trout, redfish and flounder. It’s not your fault that you tend to change color first. Let’s face it, color is the first thing someone mentions when they describe the lure they used, and when we walk into the tackle aisle there are significantly more colors than lure choices or sizes. We are bombarded with so many colors. Color must be the key to catching, right? Well, maybe not, most of the time. I’ll use my lure brand for an example. I produce 34 unique colors, but I only produce three different sized paddletails. Having all these color options at our fingertips can be overwhelming, and hearing others focus on the color that landed

the big one has caused fishermen to focus on color first. I have found more success in changing the size of the lure over the color. The fish are typically not feeding on anything that resembles the color we are throwing, but they are feeding on a specific size that we have in our box. Matching the forage size is the better option. If that doesn’t produce a bite, then I will even switch the style of lure before the color in most situations. Ultra-clear water is an exception, and these conditions play by different rules. We can cover that in another article, but until then focus less on color and more on size and action. Take a kid fishing and enjoy the outdoors. Capt. Michael Okruhlik is the inventor of Knockin Tail Lures®, and the owner of www.MyCoastOutdoors.com.

GTECHNIQ:

Wax on Boats is Old Tech

C

an you wax your 17’ to 20’ boat inside and out in 30 minutes or less? I can tell you first-hand that it is possible, but to do it you’ve got to forget about wax and get with the times. Gtechniq’s ceramic coatings are the technologically advanced way to get great results with less time and effort. I tested it on an 11-year-old Key West 1720, and this author will never go back to wax. Wax is old technology. Do you have a rotary phone? Do you use a pager? What about a flip phone? We have new technologies available. Once

you learn of a new spray-on coating that provides three months of shine and UV protection, would you still wax-on/wax-off? With a $20 bottle of Rinse-on Ceramic, you can get shiny results in 30 minutes! First you need to start with a very clean boat. Remove stains and buff out the dull surfaces, then follow with a good scrubbing with bleach in soapy water to remove all previous wax if any is still present. Hook up the spray nozzle in the Gtechniq Rinse-on Ceramic kit to the water hose and screw on a bottle of Rinse-on. The red knob adjusts material flow and it’s recommended to run it wide open. All you do is rinse the boat with water, and then turn on the material flow to apply the ceramic coating. You’ll see a slight sudsy effect letting you know material is being applied. Rinse boat inside and out with material flow open all the way. After the first application, you will want to wipe the boat down with microfiber towels. That’s it! Spray down the cleaned boat and wipe off in 30 minutes or less! Plus, there is an added benefit: you get a thin UV coating on all your hardware, lighting, switches, console gauges and expensive electronics. Wax is now a cuss word to this author. Application is quick and easy, but what about the results? Three months and 10 trips in saltwater later, and you can still feel the coating. What about a slippery deck? Nope. The stippled deck on the Key West is not slippery after application. It is ready for another application, yet the only part of the boat that doesn’t look new and shiny is the area under waterline. Beneath the waterline did stay clean for two months, but now it has slight yellowing. This 11-year-old vessel needs a light buff under the waterline. The coating is still there, and water beads/sheets off, but stains are caught in the tiny pores evidenced by the dull appearance. This stuff is pretty amazing, and this author will never waxon/wax-off again! GTECHNIQ.COM

Fishing Forecast with Capt. preston muller Gulf Angler Charters • 850-428-0118

eing a good fisherman takes so much work when it comes to tackling big water like the Gulf of Mexico. There are tons of variables that are constantly working against you from mechanical breakdowns, weather, availability of good, fresh bait and nice working tackle. The moment you remove one of those variables, your chances at success are drastically diminished. So it’s important to stay on top of your “stuff ” if you want to be a competitive fisherman. Even though December isn’t known in the panhandle for red-hot fishing, it is a great time to make certain your boat, tackle and gear or properly stowed for the 3 months of winter we have in the panhandle. It is important to bring a checklist with you and isolate any potential problems that may surface when you’re ready to hit the high seas again in the Spring. For us, we first go through all of the rods and reels. We separate tackle that needs a tune up with tackle that’s in good shape. The tackle that’s in good shape gets oiled and cleaned and put away in a covered area and the rest gets sent off for repairs or replaced. This is not an area you want to skimp on. If you have a feeling there may be something wrong with a reel or your EPIRB appears aged, now is the time to fix it so you don’t get caught mid season plagued with issues and so you don’t lose a prized fish on questionable tackle. Same goes for your boat. You are the only person that knows your boat from top to bottom. Go through your bilge pumps and wiring and identify any weak points. Check for loose screws, all structural components and battery connections. Replace your batteries if they are more than 3 years old and make sure all safety gear is up to snuff. Identify any weak points in all areas and address accordingly. I’ve learned that if you spend a solid week or 2 going through your boat with a fine toothed comb it can save you so much time and headache once the season comes around. Another plus from doing routine maintenance in December is you can ease into the season without a “big project” looming over your head. As an old salt once told me “your boat is your horse and you have to make sure she’s fed and loved constantly or she will turn her back on you”. Happy December fishing in the Panhandle!

“I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me” Phil 4:13

The importance of electrical connectors

T

he importance of electrical connectors for your time on the water is very important. Having proper heat shrink connectors ensures all of your main components are in working order. Electrical wire and connectors for marine applications is a must….house wiring connectors are not. We see lots of house wiring nuts, which will not seal. Heat shrink connectors in the proper coloring wiring for your components allow easy diagnosis of electrical problems… this will save you time and money. Heat shrink connectors creates a proper seal, which keeps water intrusion out of the electrical system. Marine electrical wiring systems are color coded to help you keep your console organized and easily identify each components when a problem arises. There are wiring charts on the internet to help you with your selection. For example, bilge pumps are brown and black, lights are gray and black, etc. We have many boats that come with the same colored wire for all components, which costs the customer lots of labor costs due to trying to diagnose the problem. Marine grade wire is tin copper to help prevent corrosion.

H

ey Panhandle Anglers! December is here and although the temps have dropped the fishing can still be hot! This month typically is hit or miss with the weather and I am sure alot of you guys and gals have put the rods away and pulled out the rifles! Well if you are not in the woods and the weather allows you to go fishing, you should take advantage of the opportunity! Offshore will be my favorite because I typically break out the electrics and go deep dropping on calm days. Good edible catches such as Golden Tile Fish, Yellowedge Grouper, Snowy Grouper, and other deep water bottom dwellers can be caught! I usually like to go with big hooks on a 3-5 pound lead. If the bigger hooks are not locking up its probably because you are on deep water Mingos or Porgies, so I would suggest downsizing to a smaller hook deep drop rig. On your way offshore maybe stop for a handfull of baits because when you are slow drifting you can throw a freeline out and catch things like wahoo and blackfin tuna. If you decide to stay inshore, there will be white trout, speckled trout, sheepshead, red drum and maybe some stripers or hybrids to target. Live shrimp and bull minnows around any sort of bridge piling or structure should work for you. Typically I use a small jig or carolina rig. The bite should be good whether inshore or offshore, so take advantage of the good weather and go throw a line! Good luck and hope this helps you catch em up!

MAkin’ PAnfish BoAts GreAt AGAin! By Capt. Josh Anderson

ndalusia Marine is located in Andalusia, Alabama (hence our name) in the south central portion of the heart of dixie. The great state of Alabama has over 132,000 miles of streams and rivers with more freshwater biodiversity than any other state in the United States. Alabama’s Cahaba river has more fish species than the entire state of California! 60% of the various species of freshwater mussels that exist in the United States can be found in Alabama’s streams and rivers. The incredible freshwater biodiversity our area boasts makes for an incredible panfish fishery. Alabama is home to the current world record bluegill as well as a former world record shell cracker. In addition, 2 more previous world record shell crackers came from the Florida panhandle less than 100 miles from Andalusia. With such incredible panfishing at our door step; you can imagine the number of fishermen in our area who pursue these fish religiously. And being located in the heart of bream fishing country and surrounded by so many bream fishermen means we’ve been up to our ears in “bream boats” for as long as we can remember.

8 THE PANHANDLE

DECEMBER 2023

The “stick steer” boat or panfish boat as it’s more commonly called these days; has been around for almost as long as the fishermen that use them; and aren’t going away anytime soon. Made popular due to giving the boat driver the ability to better see upcoming obstacles because of the forward seat placement and due to providing the ultimate in comfort by allowing the driver to stay seated the entire trip; while operating the outboard, fishing, etc. In short, our location has made it natural for us to be the “stick steer headquarters.” With customers commonly driving from Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana, and the Carolinas to do business with us; we take great pride in turning out the best panfish boats in the country. We continue to add a spirit of innovation to our panfish boats while holding on to the key aspects and components that have made these boats such a deeply interwoven part of the fabric of American fishing. Come see us, call us, email us, or find us on Facebook to see what we offer and we’ll be glad to help you find the panfish boat that suits you!

ANGLERS GET TWO MONTHS FOR GULF AJ

I

t will be another short season for amberjack in the Gulf of Mexico next year. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council decided in late October to modify both the recreational season and commercial trip limits for greater amberjack. The result for recreational anglers is a two-month fall season, which is expected to close a few days early based on projections. The council chose to modify the recreational season so it opens on Sept. 1 and remains open through Oct. 31, unless the annual catch target is projected to be met earlier. The projected date for reaching that annual catch target is Oct. 26. The council also chose to reduce the commercial trip limit to seven fish, which is equivalent to about 210 pounds gutted weight. This framework action will be transmitted to the Secretary of Commerce for approval and implementation as soon as practicable. In anticipation that this rule may not be implemented before the beginning of the 2024 commercial fishing season, the Council requested that NOAA Fisheries implement an emergency rule to reduce the commercial trip limit to seven fish at the start of the year. Since Amendment 54 reduced catch limits by about 83 percent, and the 2023 commercial annual catch limit was exceeded, a payback provision will reduce the 2024 commercial annual catch target to 56,661 pounds whole weight. Under the current 1,000-pound trip limit, the commercial fishing season is expected to be incredibly short. For more information, go to https://gulfcouncil.org/.

Sacred Stone of the Southwest is on the Brink of Extinction

C

enturies ago, Persians, Tibetans and Mayans considered turquoise a gemstone of the heavens, believing the striking blue stones were sacred pieces of sky. Today, the rarest and most valuable turquoise is found in the American Southwest–– but the future of the blue beauty is unclear.

26 carats of genuine Arizona turquoise B.

ONLY $99

On a recent trip to Tucson, we spoke with fourth generation turquoise traders who explained that less than five percent of turquoise mined worldwide can be set into jewelry and only about twenty mines in the Southwest supply gem-quality turquoise. Once a thriving industry, many Southwest mines have run dry and are now closed. We found a limited supply of turquoise from Arizona and purchased it for our Sedona Turquoise Collection. Inspired by the work of those ancient craftsmen and designed to showcase the exceptional blue stone, each stabilized vibrant cabochon features a unique, one-of-a-kind matrix surrounded in Bali metalwork. You could drop over $1,200 on a turquoise pendant, or you could secure 26 carats of genuine Arizona turquoise for just $99. C.

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you aren’t completely happy with your purchase, send it back within 30 days for a complete refund of the item price.
