Can You Handle It?

The steel of ancient warriors unfolds from a beautiful Pakkawood handle at only $99

amascus steel is the stuff of ancient legend. Treasured by mighty warriors and made using a secret technique, Damascus steel was famed for its sharpness and durability, and was known to slice gun barrels in half and separate single strands of hair in two. The secretive, ancient forging technique mixed different steel alloys to form a supersteel, creating a rippled, wavy texture, which made Damascus steel instantly recognizable. Can you handle such a blade? You definitely can, because the modern Damascus steel of the Saga Blade, complete with the signature rippled texture, unfolds from a striking Pakkawood handle. Pakkawood takes it strength from combining wood with other strength-magnifying materials to create a powerful and near-waterproof EXCLUSIVE product. This mix of two masterful techniques is enhanced by engraved stainless steel at the bolster and handle Stauer® 8x21 end, delivering a Saga Blade worthy of Compact the name for an epic price of only $99. Binoculars But we don’t stop there. While -a $99 valuesupplies last, we’ll include a pair of with purchase of $99, 8x21 power compact binoculars Saga Damascus Blade and a genuine leather sheath FREE when you purchase the Saga Damascus Blade.

trailered. Fishing from the bank, from a pier or in the surf provides freedom of movement for them to explore. If they lose interest in fishing, they can chase crabs, look in the buckets of neighboring anglers, hunt for shells or wade the shallows.

Catch And Keep Like sports trophies, Children want and take pride in having something to show for their efforts. Allow kids to take part in the process of catching, cleaning and cooking fresh fish for dinner. In the process, they’ll learn how the meat they eat makes it to their plate.

A Few Tips

o a father and an angler, there’s nothing sweeter than the phrase, “Daddy, can we go fishing today?” I heard those words the first time three years ago from the open face and high-pitched lilt of a 6-year-old boy. It was the reward for years of careful cultivation. We’ve fished together since he was a toddler. Before, it had always been my idea, a way to drag him outside on a warm afternoon. Those early trips to a small neighborhood pond were frustrating. He wanted to do it himself, so Dad picked through snarled lines while the boy mucked around in the shallows, throwing rocks and scaring fish. At some point, I gave up on catching fish. That pivotal moment freed us both to enjoy time

together. To a 4-year-old, sharing crackers with minnows that dart from beneath a dock is as engaging as a fish on the line. Frogs, turtles and the blue heron that fished the same spawning flats we did were as integral to the experience as fish. Now, as a 9-year-old, that kid stands in the front of the boat, ties his own rigs and pounds the banks with skill. Watching his growth as an angler is immensely rewarding, and keeping it fun was/is the key to feeding his desire.

The Fishing

Fishing is more fun when fish are biting. Pond bream are great for young anglers because techniques are simple and the action is fast. In saltwater, seatrout and whiting provide the same kind of action that keeps their attention. For the first few outings, leave the boat

• Be Patient: Don’t plan on fishing yourself. The adult’s job is to cast and untangle lines, bait hooks, unhook fish and avoid being hooked. • Take Snacks: The most important items in the tackle box are snacks and juice boxes. • Don’t Push It: If your kids would rather throw rocks, let them. • Their Gear: Children love stuff that is theirs. Get a small tackle box for them to carry. Load it with a small pair of pliers and a few inexpensive lures. • Lures: Some kids just want to throw it out and reel it in. Small inline spinners and some jigs are designed to catch anything that swims, and there’s no wrong way to fish them. • Let Them Learn: Nothing is more aggravating than being constantly told what to do. Offer help, but let them learn from their own mistakes.

We had our first wahoo on in minutes!” — Dave Johnson, Mike Hatcher & Captain Tom Robinson “Fixed Income” (40' Intrepid) Naples, Florida

e were trolling along under blue skies when the back right rod started bleeding line. It was a good fish, whatever it was. But just like that, the line snapped and the fish was gone. We were all pumped after the first bite of the day. Off West Palm Beach, Stacy Flemming, Jimmy Dean and I had met the bait man early to get some goggle eyes. We were in search of big fish. Mahi, tuna, sailfish and cobia were all on the list. As we pulled baits, boats began to arrive on the water. There was a Trump boat parade that morning, a Trumptilla, and nearly all of them

came out to fish. It got a little crazy, so we decided to move farther out. That was our lucky move. As soon as we got baits back in the water, a rod started shedding line, not at a furious pace, just leisurely. “He doesn’t even know he’s hooked yet,” said Dean. About that time, line started screaming out of the reel. The fish made a long first run, and as I started to reel down on it, it leapt. It was a nice sailfish! After what seemed like an hour, the fish started to slow. We maneuvered close, and Dean grabbed its bill and unhooked the 4/0 circle hook. He revived the fish and let it swim away.

Dean has a saying, “On the boat, all is calm until it’s chaos.” Oh, how true that is! We were enjoying the sunshine and 100-foot water clarity when we hooked the next fish. Then, all of sudden, we had two. Fleming and Dean grabbed the rods. I scrambled to clear the lines. Dean’s fish came unbuttoned, but Fleming had a leaper on. We soon saw why that sailfish was doing its best to stay in the air. A large bull shark had spotted it. The shark was all over our fish! Regulations say you should leave sailfish in the water, but we had to save this one. As I backed the boat in, Fleming and Dean yanked it in the boat just as the shark made another run at it. Whew, that was exciting! With the shark out of sight, we stood watch as Dean revived and released his fish. After several more, we called it a day. The next day, we didn’t see much activity until afternoon. A large shark passed with cobia in tow, but none took our baits. Then we saw diving birds and fish smashing baitfish on the surface. About a minute later, the back-left rod bent hard. Fleming got a hold of it, and that fish was moving. When we finally saw color, it was a tuna. Fleming reeled as fast as he could, while we watched another big bull shark homing in on the tuna’s trajectory. The shark hit the tuna right above the tail but couldn’t hang on! Injured, the tuna came quickly to the gaff. We had one more hookup from that school of tuna before we decided to drop baits on a wreck to top off the cooler. It was a great couple of days off South Florida. If you’ve got an extra seat on your boat, contact Gary Turner at gary@purgeright.com.

ishing at the beach has been hot. Big jacks are cruising the shorelines chasing bait, and if you follow the birds, that’s where you’ll find them. Be ready to spend 20 minutes trying to get these jacks to shore. Some of them weigh up to 30 pounds. Also chasing bait are large schools of bluefish and mackerel. When you get to the bait, it’s a fish every cast. The beach weed, sargassum, is starting to move into the shallow shoreline, which makes fishing difficult. My favorite beach lure is a 3/8-ounce D.O.A. jig with a 4-inch plastic D.O.A. Paddle Tail, either pearl white or silver sparkle. It works well in sargassum-filled water. The other main lure used on the beach is a silver spoon, usually with single treble hook. For big fish, use a 2-ounce silver Holographic Crocodile Spoon. For light tackle, use a 1-ounce silver or gold Johnson. I use light tackle and line: a 300-grade spinning reel with 10-pound white braid and a 30-pound fluorocarbon leader. Use a loop knot for the lure, and tie the leader to the braid with a double uni knot (look online for tutorials). I’ve landed several jacks around 20-pounds, but I’ve also been broken off by jacks and snook at the braid. Most beach fishers use 20- to 30-pound braid (40-pound leader) and for tarpon 40- to 50-pound braid with 60-pound leader. I’ve been averaging about 15 to 20 fish every morning, with one to six snook. The snook bite is best from 6:30 to 7 a.m. or in the evening around 7:30 p.m. Incoming tide seems to be best, and the fish roam around the trough near the first cut (closest wave). Fish the back of the waves near the shore for snook. Jigs and live bait work better than spoons. Several slot and over-slot sargassum snook have been caught on the beach. In the lagoon and river, they are stacked up around the bridges and around deeper piers. Inshore snook are being caught on threadfin and greenies as well as jigs and root beer color D.O.A. TerrorEyz. The Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie River have been slow at times. Fish piers for snook and the bridges for snook and tarpon. According to Jim Harter, the South Fork has been slow, but it will pick up with warmer weather. Reports are given of trout being found in Harbor Branch area, with sporadic catches of trout farther south from Herman’s Bay to Bear Creek. D.O.A. jigs and topwaters are good trout choices. Fortunately, wading and surf-fishing are perfect activities during the coronavirus pandemic. Remember to stay safe. Good luck fishing, and tight lines!!!

o you have an older vessel you really love with an older or out-dated two-stroke outboard? Or maybe it’s an existing four-stoke that is well past its years of existing warranty and is in need of replacement? Now may be the time to start thinking about repowering that boat you love with a brand new four-stroke outboard with six years of warranty and peace of mind and confidence every time you hit the water. Today’s new fourstroke outboards are much lighter than previous models, much more fuel efficient and there is no need to add oil to the fuel source so they cost a lot less to operate than older two- or four-stroke models. With summertime here, now is the perfect time to get your vessel ready with a new outboard that will provide years of enjoyment for you and your family or friends. With six years of full factory warranty, today’s Suzuki outboards are leading the way for repowering existing vessels and making them like a totally new boat. Portside Marine in east Orlando is Central Florida’s factory-authorized premier dealer for Suzuki outboards and the area’s repower specialist. Portside Marine has a team of marine experts to help you make the right decision for a new motor, upgrading the horsepower size and repowering your existing boat. When splurging for a repower it is a great idea to take a look at updating steering, throttle and shift, cabling, wiring harnesses, battery cables and instrumentation. A new engine with old steering, controls and cables can only dampen your new repower experience. New technology in digital instrumentation has also come a long way over the years. They are giving you information that your old gauges could not provide. The staff at portside Marine can answer all of your questions, give you options for best results for your boat and also help with either trading your existing motor or selling it if it is in decent shape and serviceable. The best part is that it is also quick and easy. Once a decision is made on what size of motor is best for your budget and vessel power needs, all you have to do is decide on the color you prefer, either black or white. Depending on availability the motor and color selected, special deals could be available. Upgrading to a digital model in lieu of a mechanical shifter requires no shift or throttle cables running to the helm or console shifter and no need to replace cables in the future. Digital shifters are very smooth and quick to respond. If it is time for you to get your existing boat brought into the future, let the staff at Portside Marine make your repowering experience a breeze. Third party financing is available to those who qualify. Give Portside Marine a call at (407) 249-1124, e-mail service@ portsideorlando.com or just stop by to see them. You won’t be sorry!

TARPON By Paul McGinnis

time

A lot of elegant prose has been written trying to describe the epic battles and majestic leaps of the mighty tarpon. I’ll just get right to the point and say they are awesome fish, and you’re in luck because now is a good time to pursue these silver giants along the central Florida coast. To learn the secrets for targeting this grand fish I talked to local tarpon expert, Captain Jim Ross who’s been catching silver kings for 25 years. Ross says tarpon patrol our coast from May until October although a warm winter can kick off an earlier run. This year Ross found his first tarpon back in March. Although tarpon fishing can be good any time throughout the summer, Ross says the best month is June when the numbers are good and the fish seem to be more aggressive. There is no magic spot that always holds tarpon (if there was I certainly wouldn’t tell you about it). Tarpon fishing is a searching game. Ross fishes out of Port Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet. As soon as he clears the inlet he starts running the beach looking for tarpon, focusing his search to the 15 to 40 feet depths. First and foremost he is looking for tarpon themselves, either rolling fish or free jumpers. Lacking that, he’ll look for bait pods. Pogies, mullet and even glass minnows could all hold tarpon, but not every bait pod will have tarpon on it. One of Ross’s time saving secrets is to use the side scan feature on his Lowrance HDS 12 to see if any tarpon sized predators are mingling with the bait. If it’s early morning or late afternoon Ross and his clients will throw lures for tarpon. For hard baits, Ross likes the Williamson Surface Pro and Popper Pro and the Rapala X-Rap Long Cast Shallow. Ross is also a big fan of the six inch Saltwater Assassin Sea Shad paddle tails. He fishes these on ¾ to 1-1/2 ounce jig heads and says the best colors for tarpon are Opening Night and Silver Phantom/Chartreuse Tail. If he is not using lures, Ross will be fishing live bait, either pogies or mullet on VMC 7385 circle hooks, size 8/0 or 9/0. Live baits are free lined around concentrations of fish or slow trolled behind the boat. Ross uses Shimano Saragosa 8000 spinning reels for casting lures and free lining baits, and Okuma SLX lever drag reels for slow trolling. Both reels are teamed up with matching 7’10”, custom 30-50 pound Memory Stix rods that he helps design (http://adventurouscustomrods.com/). At almost eight feet, those rods might seem a little long, but Ross says when the fight nears the boat that extra length helps his anglers keep the line clear of obstacles like the motor. He spools the reels with 300 yards of 40 or 50 pound test Suffix 832 braid with a 100 yard topshot of 30 or 40 pound test monofilament. He connects the mono to braid using a double Uni-Knot, ten wraps with the braid and five wraps with the mono. The mono top shot provides a lot more stretch than straight braid and that stretch helps cushion the impact on the angler and allows a little extra tolerance for angler errors which reduces the number of pulled hooks and broken lines. For a leader, Ross attaches five feet of 50 pound test fluorocarbon to the monofilament using a double Uni-Knot with five wraps on each line. He adds another two and a half feet of 80 pound test fluorocarbon that is tied to the 50 pound leader using an Albright Special knot. A lot of anglers would go with a straight seven feet of 80 pound fluorocarbon, but Ross thinks his two stage leader gets more bites because it is more flexible and has less resistance in the water and that allows his lures and baits to have a little more movement. Ross’s last bit of advice is to determine the speed and direction the tarpon are moving. Set up ahead of the fish and let them approach your baits from behind. You’ll get more bites this way than if you tried to troll or retrieve your baits on an intercept path with a moving school of tarpon. I can guarantee you hooking up with a big ocean tarpon is an experience you’ll likely never forget. If you want to cut a ton of time off your tarpon learning curve I recommend you hire an expert like Captain Jim Ross who can be reached through his website, http://captainjimross.com/.

Presenting Sponsor:

Hot days welcome hot fishing in Central Florida. June marks the beginning of our Atlantic Hurricane season. Water levels will be the key to finding fish. High levels in June mean there are a lot of places for fish to hide as pastures get flooded along the St Johns. Bass: Schooling bass can be found at first light at the mouths of Lakes Monroe and Harney feeding on shad. The water temperature at the mouth of the Wekiva River is cooler and will hold nice sized fish ready to eat Carolina rigged plastic worms, jerk baits, swim baits, crank baits, and rattling lipless crank baits (Rattle Traps). Pitch baits into the edges of lilly pads or deep holes in the backwater will yield the largest fish.

2 6 CENTRAL FLORIDA

Catfish: Now is the time to catch large blue channel catfish. When rainwater flushes out of the creeks and rivers, the cats swim upstream to find forage and nesting areas. Chunks of mullet, peeled shrimp, beef or pork liver, and artificial stink baits are best baits. Use a foot of 20lb. test fluorocarbon leader and a 2/0 circle hook pinned with just enough weight to hold the bottom. Tip: Try a sliding egg sinker and allow the bait to roll along the bottom in a river bend. Cast the bait upstream and let it roll into the hole. Panfish: Spawning will taper off in June. Best bets are full and new moons. Look for beds in the straight areas of the river along the bank in 2-5 feet of water. Bluegills like sandy bottom or shell bottom for nesting. Use worms, grass shrimp and crickets for best results. Try a piece of 8lb. test fluorocarbon leader in clear water for more hookups.

JUNE 2020

Bass Fishing Kissimmee Chain: The bass have moved out to open water; mostly due to the Chain of Lakes are at low water levels for the summer hurricane season. The hydrilla is topped out all over Lake Toho; fish the edges where deeper water will allow your lures to work. Bass are schooling in open water chasing bait. The schooling bass range in size from one to four pounds. The baits of choice are small Rattle Traps and Rapala X-Raps. Plastic baits of choice are flukes, jerk baits, and swim baits in shad colors. Anglers are catching multiple bass on the outside edges of Kissimmee grass using artificial soft plastics. Tip: Don’t get frustrated with

COASTALANGLERMAG.COM • THEANGLERMAG.COM

heavy vegetation. When your lure’s hook picks up weeds, give it a yank to clear the lure. Many times this is when strikes occur. The black crappie bite has been good on the Kissimmee Chain. On West Lake, fish open water between the two islands. On East Lake, fish open water, the 12 to 15 feet range seems to be where most crappie are being caught. The best method to catching crappie is trolling with jigs in various colors tipped with a minnow. Vary the depth until you start catching fish. For bluegill and sunfish, look for open water shell beds with live red worms. Fish on the bottom. If you like to fly fish, popping bugs are the best bet. Search out Shingle Creek and fish the outside edge of the vegetation. Also look in shallow water for spawning panfish towards full Moon phase, quite common this time of year.

Lake Okeechobee’s water level is around the 11ft. mark. Navigating the Big O safely has almost become impossible and very time consuming having to idle in and out to get to the grass edges. With that said, fishing the Kissimmee River and canals this time of year is the most productive and safest place to fish. These areas are productive catching bass; bluegill; shell crackers; fingerling catfish; cichlids and oscars. You can still catch crappie but it is best early in the mornings fishing around structure. For speck fishing use artificial lures and/or live minnows. The choice of bait to use for pan fish and the fingerling catfish is red worms. Use live-bait (wild shiners) and artificial lures for bass. We are approaching the rainy season which means moving water going into/out of the lake via the Kissimmee River which can provide a good starting point to fish. The

two safest boat ramps to use on the North-end are Scott Driver and Harney Pond canal. If you don’t know the lake either hire a guide or fish the canals (J&S and Taylor Creek and the Kissimmee River). Plastic lure colors for bass can be June bug; redbug; watermelon red; green pumpkin; crawdad and white, depending on water clarity. Hard baits like crank baits; top water and rattle traps can be the shad; crawdad; bluegill and shiner colors. Live-crickets and red wigglers are best for bluegill and shell crackers; red-worms for fingerling catfish and cichlids. Yes, red wigglers and worms are two different types.

www.NoblesMarine.com

The fishing is heating up with daily temperatures well over 90 degrees most days. At night you will hear frogs croaking in areas along the shoreline. You can really have some explosive strikes when fishing some sort of frog bait. Hollow body frogs fished with some heavy braided line can really give you an advantage to bring them in through the heavy vegetation. Pitching soft plastic baits around boat docks, lily pads and other visible structure is another way to really make for some fun fishing. Soft plastic jerk baits, senkos and trick worms are what to have tied on. There are countless ways to rig them but most of all they produce year round regardless of conditions you are in.

ledge or some sort of structure. Make sure to vary your retrieve if you’re not getting bites. Also counting down the bait every few casts when it hits the water can also help in making your fishing productive by trying deeper in the water column. A swim jig is a bait that usually catch larger than average fish. You can really make some long casts with swim jigs. Casting to weed edges or fishy looking spots and reeling your bait through can really make them hammer your bait. Remember to set the hook when you feel the fish, not when you see the strike – wait a second and you’ll get better catch ratios. Areas in canal systems are holding fish this time of year. Don’t rule out finding new areas. This investment of time can really pay off by having more successful fishing trips same day and in the future.

In June, calmer winds and sea will allow those anglers with smaller boats to venture out nearshore to the beach in search of silver kings, smoker kings and much more. When June seas clear up and calm down, ocean predators will push pogy pods (Atlantic menhaden) in close to the beach. Look for large tarpon, kingfish, sharks and jack crevalle to be shadowing these bait pods looking for an easy meal. Try slow trolling live pogies in areas of active bait schools, especially if fish feeding and bird activity are visible. Start with fluorocarbon leader, then add a piece of wire leader when you get the first cutoff. While fishing offshore during the summer, it’s prudent to keep a close eye on the weather and the buildup of afternoon

At night or early morning on the inshore flats look for trout and redfish up in the skinny water around concentrations of bait. Toss them your favorite top water plug. Focus your efforts between 3:00 and 9:00 am, and in the late afternoon after the thunderstorms dissipate. Also look for schools of bay anchovies (glass minnows) in deeper waters. For trout and redfish on top water, I like the Rapala Skitter Walk and Storm Chug Bug, and then switch to the DOA CAL Shad Tail on a ¼ ounce jig in deeper water. Captain Tom Van Horn specializes in fishing adventures on the Indian River Lagoon and Mosquito Lagoons and nearshore trips off the beaches.

toothy kings. Keep a jig ready for the cobia for when you see them or when you mark the bait out there, as this is the time of year they start to show up on the bait pods just off the beach. The bunkers (pogies) have finally been consistent. We are getting them from the cruise basin all the way to the pier. Just look where the fleet is in the morning and you can’t miss them. Please be courteous; please give each other room as there is plenty of bait for everyone.

The near shore reefs such as Pelican and 8A have been great for the early morning king bite. Use your stinger rigs and live bunker for the best catch. In the last few weeks there have been wahoo to 45lbs, chunky black fin tuna, mahi-mahi and a handful of cobia all caught on king rigs in the same area.

From the beach to local reefs: Tarpon, jack crevale, bonita, Spanish mackerel and kingfish have been from the beach in 20 feet depths to about 40 feet deep. We have been having a lot of fun on light tackle with all these power hitting fish. Use live bunker hooked through the nostrils on 50lb fluorocarbon leader with an 8/0 circle hook. If you start getting cut off a lot then time to put the wired stinger rigs on for those

From the reefs to offshore has been good as well. There was a solid few days of great catches of dolphin and we should still see a few weeks of it. Many fish have been caught from 140-180 feet and some days past 500 feet, it’s just a day to day thing and up to the winds and weather as usual. Good luck and have a great June from your premier fishing guide charters of Cocoa Beach, Port Canaveral Orlando Florida area.

June begins the summer season for near-coastal offshore kayak fishing. Here along the east central coast of Florida, nearshore fishing is a great draw to the more adventurous kayak anglers. Missing out on the deep water within striking distance from a beach launched kayak? The Space Coast has its disadvantages but that doesn’t mean the fishing isn’t spectacular for those ocean-going kayak anglers in Brevard County. The lack of deep blue water species like mahi-mahi, wahoo, and sailfish found farther offshore is overcome by the opportunity to battle massive tarpon, smoker kingfish, and even the occasional cobia or tripletail. Our coast is shallow and sandy, with a relatively featureless bottom which does not offer much for specific targets like reef fish. Your focus should be fishing near bait fish schools and the areas they tend to frequent. Kayaks seem to excel in these situations by slow trolling or drifting with live baits. Rigging techniques for catching our two main targets the kingfish and massive tarpon differ from one another but the same 20-40lb class spinning or conventional rod and reel combos will tackle both with ease. For the kingfish its best to use a shot of wire tied in what’s classically referred to as a live bait stinger rig with a hook in front to pin the bait’s nose and a second hook to place towards its tail. Being a fish with some serious teeth and a habit of cutting baits in half this is a great rig to use for a solid hookup. Any of your baits caught nearshore will be adequate and result in a hookup when trolled in the areas where those baits are present. Large mullet in the 10 to 12-inch range also work exceptionally well and can sometimes be found in the lagoon on your way to the beach. Schools of bait or bait rich areas, color changes, rips, and even Port Canaveral’s buoy line can be a great place to start looking for these fish in the summer months. In case you did not know, several tournaments have been won with massive kings caught inside the port itself. This fish is great to eat fresh so be sure to have a fish bag and ice on hand if you’re looking to take some home. Though kingfish don’t have the spectacular jumps and never-ending power of a massive tarpon it’s challenging and worthy targets for kayak anglers on the space coast. As a guide I look to these warm summer months to book near coastal kayak trips for the calmed seas and increasing abundance of bait with favorable water temperatures for some exciting predators. Give me a call and we’ll go nearshore kayak catching!

MAINTENANCE TIP

We are fortunate to live where the boating season does not come to abrupt starts and stops as in other parts of the country. However, even with a temperate climate, many local boat owners take the winter season off, looking forward to getting back on the water in the Spring. With Spring quickly approaching, now is the time to work on tasks that will ensure your boat is prepared. For starters you should focus on annual maintenance of your engine(s). A tune-up, changing the fluids and battery maintenance go a long way in keeping you on the water when it’s go-time. Spring cleaning should be your next task with your focus on getting rid of the dirt, grime and mildew that built up but, without causing any damage to your gelcoat, upholstery or isinglass. You should avoid the use of household cleaners because they are typically too harsh for your boats finishes. The pumice found in some bathroom cleaners can really abrade gelcoat and household bleach when overused can cause the stitching in your upholstery to deteriorate quickly. It’s time to get outside and get busy so, your boat is ready when you are. — Rodney Blount Owner, Boat and Yacht Masters of Florida Proud Member and B.O.D., Halifax River Yacht Club
