Why Are Dealers Hoarding These 100-Year-Old U.S. Silver Dollars?

hen it comes to collecting, few coins are as coveted as the first and last of a series. And when big anniversaries for those “firsts” and “lasts” come around, these coins become even more coveted. Take, for example, the 1921 Morgan Silver Dollars. These 90% pure silver coins were the last of their kind, a special one-year-only resurrection of the classic Wild West Silver Dollar. Three years prior, the Pittman Act authorized the melting of more than 270 million Morgan Silver Dollars so their silver could be sold to our allies in the United Kingdom. Facing our own Silver Dollar shortage, the world’s favorite vintage U.S. Silver Dollar was brought back for one year only while the U.S. Mint worked on its successor, the Peace Silver Dollar.

Dealers Begin Stockpiling Last-Year Morgans

Knowing what we’ve told you about special anniversaries, dealers around the country are preparing for a surge in demand. 2021 will mark the 100th anniversary of the 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar—the last-yearof-issue for the most popular vintage U.S. Silver Dollar ever minted. But slow-moving collectors may be disappointed in what they find when they seek out these coins. Since the days of the Pittman Act, millions more U.S. Silver Dollars have been melted or worn down in commerce. It’s been estimated that as few as 15% of all the Morgan Dollars ever minted have survived to the present day. That number grows smaller each year, with private hoards now accounting for virtually all the surviving Morgan Silver Dollars. And that was before silver values started to rise...

Interest in Silver Is on the Rise

As you can see from the chart on the left, in 2020, we’ve seen daily silver prices close as low as $12.01 per ounce and as high as $28.33 per ounce. That rise in value has led to a sharp increase in buyers’ interest in silver. We’re already seeing a surge of interest from collectors wanting to add vintage Morgan Silver Dollars to their collections. But at what price?

We’re Bringing Flexy Back

The Stauer Flex gives you vintage style with a throwback price of only $79.

To purchase a vintage 60s or 80s classic flex watch would stretch anyone’s budget, but you can get ahead of the crowd and secure a brand new version for a much lower price. We’re rolling back the years AND the numbers by pricing the Stauer Flex like this, so you can put some bend in your band without making a dent in your wallet. The Stauer Flex combines 1960s vintage cool with 1980s boardroom style. The stainless steel flex band ensures minimal fuss and the sleek midnight blue face keeps you on track with date and day subdials. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. Experience the Stauer Flex for 30 days. If you’re not convinced you got excellence for less, send it back for a refund of the item price. Your satisfaction is our top priority. Time is running out.

Find & Catch Deep Winter Flounder

Defender

Marine Outfitter of Choice Since 1938

By Capt. Michael Okruhlik

PHOTO COURTESY OF KNOCKIN TAIL LURES

o all flounder migrate offshore during the winter? I can’t be certain, but I have caught them in every month of the year. Those latewinter catches may have been flounder that never left, or they might be some that returned early. But one thing is for sure, during cold weather is when I have caught my largest flounder. Let it be known that I am a lure fisherman at heart, but if you want to consistently target the largest flounder this time of year, live and dead bait rule supreme. A large mullet or shad in the 6-inch range is ideal. Any type of fishfinder rig will suffice with the appropriate weight for the depth of water and strength of current you are fishing. You just need enough weight to keep your bait in contact with the bottom, where flounder live. The method I use for flounder catching is to keep the bait in constant contact with the bottom. Pointing the rod tip toward the water and utilizing a sweeping motion, I twitch my rod, kicking up mud and sand to create a trail of dust that attracts fish. This way I can cover some water in search of a hungry doormat. Once I feel the first tap from the flounder, I pause. I wait patiently for the second and usually a quick third tap. Then I give it a solid hook-set! Flounder will hold on to a bait longer than most inshore species, and they don’t always engulf it all at once. I feel they want to injure their meal before swallowing it, which is why it pays to be patient and wait until they’ve got the hook in their mouth before driving the point home. The best area to target the largest of the species is near structure, specifically bulkheads. Flounder like to bed down next to seawalls, where baitfish have fewer angles of escape. Other structure like rock jetties are also great areas to try. On an outgoing tide, I target drain openings where high tide flows out of the marshes. These drains can be small, 1 to 2 feet of width is all it takes. As long as the marsh behind the drain has enough water to hold bait, it’s perfect. Flounder will stage at the opening of a large drain as well, but no drain is too small, and I feel the smaller ones can easily be dismissed and easily missed. One final note is on tide direction and strength. During a strong outgoing tide, flounder use the tide as easy transportation to open water and focus more on swimming than feeding. I tend to avoid the strong outgoing tide when targeting migrating flounder. Be safe, stay warm, and get out there to catch the largest flounder of your life.

KAYAKING FOR

A DAY OF DOUBLES By Brian Nelli

n offshore kayak fishing, many of the milestones we pursue come in the form of knocking off “bucket list” fish. Sailfish is at the top of that list for a lot of anglers in South Florida. The sailfish is a great achievement, but there is one fish that many either write off as improbable or just a dream. That fish is the wahoo. One of the fastest fish in the ocean, it bounces around in kayak anglers’ heads with the question of could today be the day. I’ve been a South Florida kayak fishing guide since 2010. Here, where the currents of the Gulf Stream swing so close to coast, it is possible to launch a kayak from the beach in pursuit of offshore species. I have been fortunate to assist clients in catching multiple wahoo over the years. To give an idea of how special this is, my best year for wahoo saw just six of these speedy fish landed in 150 offshore kayak trips. Now what do you think the chances are of catching two in one trip? How about two at the same time? That is where our story begins. Two days after the December new moon phase, winds were light and the ocean was flat calm. My two clients and I were running live goggle eyes on 60-pound wire stinger rigs tied to 40-pound Yozuri Hybrid Line. We were geared with Shimano Spheros 10k reels paired with Crowder Rods E-Namic 6’6” 15- to 40-pound rods. At dawn, we headed roughly a mile from shore and started slow trolling. All hell broke loose within the first hour. It was a double hook-up on sailfish! The fish pulled my two clients in opposite directions. After screaming directions and running back and forth to each angler, we managed to secure both fish for a great photo before release. That sailfish double already made it a great day, but there was more to come.

We regrouped and got baits back out in search of another bite. At about 11 a.m., we approached a slight rip line near 150 feet of water. There was very little current and next to no surface action for most of the day, so we slowed down to stick in the rip area. Ten minutes in, I noticed one rod bounce hard and then take off. It was a good high-speed run and then line went slack. I screamed to keep reeling no matter what, as this is typical for a wahoo strike. Sure enough, the fish came tight again for another run to the bottom. As I yelled to one angler, the other client’s rod started bouncing. He reeled down, and there was head thrashing on surface. The fish circled the yak twice, and I

gaffed the 29-pound wahoo within minutes. Once we got that one, I knew by its behavior the first fish was going to be a wahoo, as well. I was excited and shaking. I’ve been hunting a double wahoo for a decade or more. Ten minutes later, with that first fish safely in-hand, I let out a scream heard round the world, “We did it! DOUBLE WAHOO!” Brian Nelli operates Pushin’ Water Kayak Charters offering inshore and offshore kayak fishing trips out of South Florida.

earlier, the biggest trout caught during February and March will eat crappie-sized jigs… so, there goes that theory. For the most part, though, I like bigger shrimp to eliminate as many of the dink trout bites as possible, but even the dinks will give the biggest shrimp you throw a whack. When you miss a bite, I always say, “don’t Tim Barefoot worry about it, it’s a dink.” Trout always eat a shrimp from behind, so they can fold the shrimp up and swallow it with the horn going forward. his is the time of year when the inshore bite can slow down or get hot as a firecracker, especially for speckled trout. Always. A missed bite usually means the fish didn’t have a mouth large Right now, bait size can make all the difference between enough to “inhale” your shrimp backwards.

Winter Surf Fishing Forecast

ith beach erosion from the fall hurricanes, some areas of the Treasure Coast have developed a sandbar. To get to the best water, surf casters need to think about getting their baits farther out past the sandbar. You’ll need to go across the sandbar with longer casts by using heavy spoons or jigs or wade across the trough and fish from the sandbar. On low tide, you absolutely need to fish from the sandbar to get good results. Surf cast with 3/8-ounce chartreuse jig with a 4-inch plastic bait in pearl white. One- or 2-ounce silver crocodile spoons are another good choice, and you can cast them a mile. Bait schools have been sporadic recently, so look for birds to locate feeding fish. No birds, no fish. Schools of jacks, mackerel and bluefish are cruising the beach. They are in the trough early in the morning on medium to high tides. It’s best to fish the trough at around 7 a.m., when the sun rises. If cold weather has kept you out of the surf or from getting out to the sandbar, consider using neoprene waders. Waders are also great for fishing the Indian River Lagoon. There are a lot of jacks in the lagoon right now, with larger ones hanging around the bridges and deeper water. Pompano are being caught on sand fleas and fish bites on the incoming tide from Fort Pierce Inlet to the St. Lucie Inlet. Some are nice sized, but the numbers aren’t great. Whiting and croaker are being caught on shrimp, sand fleas and cut bait. I’ve caught some on small jigs and spoons at high tide around the trough. There are a lot of beach accesses from Fort Pierce Inlet to Bathtub Beach and St. Lucie Inlet. Although Bathtub Beach is closed, the St. Lucie inlet is within walking distance from other beach accesses. Stop and look for bird or bait activity before you decide to fish. Although the feeders are in the trough early in the morning, you’ll need to find baitfish to have success during the day. I use a medium-action, 7-foot spinning rod and 10- to 20-pound braid. I like white line, for its visibility, and I use a 30- or 40-pound fluorocarbon leader in the winter months. Make sure you retie your lure after catching a few mackerel, ladyfish or bluefish so you don’t lose the big one because of frayed line.

THE PERFECT GRIP By John Saporito

handle is much more than just the part by which you hold the rod. It is the conduit that transmits strikes to your hands and the trusted grip that ensures a hold on the fish of your dreams. But not all handles are created equal, and each material has strengths and weaknesses. Whether buying a factory rod, building your own or having a custom rod built for you, it pays to know which handle style is the best choice for the job. This primer will give you a “grip” on which one is right for you. EVA Foam: Foam handles are common across all types of fishing rods. They are inexpensive and durable, making them a go-to option for anglers. However, foam is neither the most comfortable choice nor the best in terms of grip. It can become slippery when wet or after handling fish. It also lacks true sensitivity, muffling what is transmitted from hook to hand rather than delivering it directly. Cork: A fan favorite, cork is as comfortable as it is elegant. However, it is less durable and more expensive than foam. A lightweight material, cork offers good sensitivity and a solid grip—even when wet. Split Grip: A split grip is simply a handle that is partly covered with foam, cork or another material, and partly left bare. The narrow diameter of the naked rod won’t tire out a hand over long periods

of use and allows for maximum sensitivity, translating whatever is happening on the end of the line to the hand as efficiently as possible. Lacking coverage of their entire length, split grips are also very lightweight. The gripping potential depends on the material. The main concern of split grips is durability, as the unprotected portion is damaged more easily than a fully covered handle. Cork Tape: A favorite of surf fishermen, cork tape offers an incredibly reliable grip under all conditions. Its “sandpaper” texture may scare some anglers off, but it is actually quite comfortable. Cork tape is durable, although it may need replacing after seasons of use—much like the grip on a golf club. It promotes good sensitivity due to the thin and firm nature of the material. It is perhaps the most underutilized handle type of all. Heat-Shrink Vinyl: A cork-tape lookalike, vinyl permits excellent sensitivity, is comfortable, and provides good gripping grip materials are available for the rods that meet ability. It is both durable and inexpensive. Many anglers turn to heat-shrink vinyl as an easy your needs. Then, the decision will practically make itself. replacement for worn handles on well-used rods. In the end, selecting a handle doesn’t need to be a confusing affair. Evaluate which qualities you Lifelong fisherman and student of predatory fish, seek in a rod, how the rod will be used, and which visit John Saporito online at guerillaangling.com.

good eating. Florida limit is 25 per person. Check local regulations if you fish in lakes.

12th Annual Shad and Crappie Derby – Derby ends February 28, 2021 at sunset. Hurry, there is still time to win! Visit www. coastalanglermag.com/orlando to learn how to register. Water levels have dropped, and the water flow has slowed. Largemouth bass, black crappie and American shad are February target species. The spawn is on! Speckled perch (crappie) are feasting every chance they get during the spawn. Minnows are plentiful in the river system and grass shrimp round out their diet. Jigs slowly trolled (tipped with minnows) along channel edges is a sure bet. Watch your depth recorder in the river bends while trolling and you will learn to see them before they strike the lures. Crappie spawn in colonies and bunch up – locate them and troll many passes for a bucketful of

Shallow beds during full and new moon phases will produce the biggest bass all year. Bass and shiners are synonymous in February. Slow trolling large wild shiners in pre-spawn areas (not more than 500ft. from the beds), can yield the monster you’re looking for. Catch, photo, and release these large female fish for the reproductive cycle to complete. Choose artificial baits that mimic predators of eggs, namely: lizards, shiners, and bream. Lipless Rattle Trap style crank baits, plastic lizards, and shallow surface lures work great. Look for sunshine bass feeding at first light near the mouth of the lakes, especially the west side of Lake Monroe near Interstate 4. Shad are in full swing; go get them while they last. Small tandem jigs trolled against the current at 1.5 to 2.0 mph should get a strike in shad alley – between Mullet Lake Park and Puzzle Lake.

long because the bigger fish have a big appetite and want to feed without exerting a lot of energy.

In West lake Toho, the bass bite is right on schedule. The females are in shallow water spawning on the beds. This is the best time to put the trolling motor in and hunt for bass beds. One of the most important tools is a good pair of polarized glasses to cut the glare off the water. Bait of choice will be anything that you can see in the bass bed that the fish will pick up. My favorite color and soft plastic is a white senko. Most fish are being caught in the Kissimmee grass in 2 to 3 feet of water. Sandy areas are best. Bass will go back to the same bedding areas, and in a month’s time, several bass will use the same bed over and over. Live wild shiners will produce even bigger bass during the spawn. I prefer wild shiners 8 to 12 inches 8 CENTRAL FLORIDA

The crappie bite is right on time in the Kissimmee chain. Look for the crappie to be spawning in shallow water around any vegetation like lily pads, reeds, and Kissimmee grass. The males will be the first ones in, competing for spawning areas. The males will be smaller and their tails will be all shredded up from fanning the beds. The male crappies will be aggressive, ready to eat anything near the bed. Bait of choice is minnow on a gold hook under a float. Now the key is to keep coming back every few days and you will find the big females will come in. One other thing to check is, outside the edge of the grass line, sometimes when the males are in the female crappie stack outside, then slowly move in and you can really work them over. Florida crappie bag limit is 25 per person any size.

Reminder - our Seminole Junior Angler Annual Fundraiser is February 13 - Saturday. Boat Tree Marina hosts our St Johns River Bass Bash. This is an open tournament everyone can enter – tell your bass fishing friends weigh-in will be at 2:30 pm. Please share this on Facebook and all social media outlets. We would like to shoot for 75 boats this year. Boat Tree Marina for the weigh-in is located off Interstate 4 at exit 104, 4370 Carraway Place, Sanford, FL 32771. Registration at 5:30am at St Johns River Lake Monroe Wayside Park, launching at safe light. Looks like we all made it to the second month of 2021. I am hoping and praying this year treats us all much better. It certainly looks like the fishing is picking up where it left off. Most Central Florida lakes are perfect temperature for the big girls to move on up to the shallows to do their thing. Some big fish are being caught in Lake Harris. I fished the New Year’s Day tournament, and it took a whopping 37 lbs. to win. Our SJA team is currently in 11th place in Club of Year Standings for Florida Bass Nation High School. We are a young squad this year losing 7 seniors last year. The team of Wright / Blevins is new to us and they are leading our squad with a top 20 in Team of the Year for BASS Nation High School Series. We are fishing on Big O in February and hope to catch some monster bags. The water temp and moon phase should be setting up perfectly for every team to do very well. Thank you again to our volunteers, captains, and each sponsor that helps us along the way. Tight Lines to all. If you have a high school aged son or daughter who would like to fish competitively for a great team, please contact Dave DiMauro, Director, 407-353-4575.

bait, lighter leaders, and slower presentation. For larger sea trout, target areas where mangrove edges, docks, and other structure are adjacent to deep water dredge holes, sloughs, or canals. When targeting redfish, black drum, and sea trout during the colder months, I like to downsize my bait and fish with shrimp or crab imitation baits like the D.O.A. Shrimp and D.O.A. Crab. February is also a key month for targeting tailing black drum and finding them in deeper channels and around bridge structure.

Cobia Time! Last year February was the best ling run we had. Many of the giants were caught in February and March. Take advantage of those sunny days and go look around the 55-foot depths off Patrick Air Force Base, south of the Port. The rays are showing up! Massive schools of redfish have been near the Port and around the tip of the Cape Canaveral. Look for the birds diving and there is a good chance you find ‘School X’, nicknamed by local guides. The reds will eat anything you throw in the school, buck tails, bunker, and I’m sure even a hotdog. 35lbs plus sized fish! Large bunker schools are here, so take the time and cast net some. They may not be flipping so watch your machine and the mud balls. Offshore on the days we can get out have been great, but this is 14 CENTRAL FLORIDA

also the time of year that the kings are picky. If the kingfish don’t have a live bunker or threadfin flashed in front of their face they won’t eat. You will literally watch everyone around you hooked up and they will not touch a dead spinner bait. Put the effort in to catch live baits! Many of my offshore trips turn into port trips and beach trips if we are lucky with a west wind. If you want to catch a bunch of stuff and keep the kids happy get a few dozen live shrimp and have fun. The way we do our beach fishing is with medium rods and light tackle while using a 1/0 circle hook with a 20lb test leader to a small swivel then mainline. On the mainline use a 1 or 1.5 oz egg sinker - this is a typical fish finder rig. Everything eats a shrimp. Shark fishing has been on fire as well. Large blacktip, hammerhead and blacknose have been plentiful. A bunch of bull sharks too. This time last year the big extinct sandbar sharks moved in, so we are hoping they do the same thing. They are a blast to catch in shallow water.

CENTRAL FLORIDA 15

By Capt. Alex Locallinescharters.com

February is always an interesting month for us fishing the Central East Coast of Florida in kayaks. It can be considered the end of winter and spring settles in quickly. This year seems to be normal for cooler winters like we have had. With this significantly cooler weather we will see many species on the inshore waters look to find deeper warmer waters where they are safe from temperatures dipping too low. One of the most notable of our fish that will do this is the spotted seatrout. In danger of cold water kill offs, they are super smart. The largest trout will hole up in these areas and only leave when the threat of freezing temps is gone and when the urge to partake in the spring spawn becomes too strong for resistance. Large trout that are over 24 inches are more of a solitary fish, but cooler waters will bring these fish together as deeper holes are at a premium on our lagoons. February can be a great month to target them for some amazing catch and release action! These large fish are 100% females and as the matriarchs are the cornerstone of our trout populations, they deserve a pass from the grease pan. Look for areas adjacent to deeper canals and holes that have shallow muddy (preferred) bottoms that will warm quickly as the sun rises. This gives the biggest trout an opportunity to sun and warm themselves then look for a little bite to eat. Unlike the springtime trout bite when warming waters and an influx of bait send pre-spawn trout on the feed with reckless abandon. These February fish will be looking for something a little more subtle than the go to spring topwater lures that get so many great bites. Soft plastics or even a nice live shrimp will be your best baits. With a 3-to-5-inch paddle tail like the SlayerInc.com SST series of plastics rigged on a jig head or weedless being my top choice. Typically, I look to use more natural colors and slowly roll these baits across the bottom. Not only is our lure choice for these fish a little different than in the warmer months, but our prime fishing time alters as well. It’s well known that the best time for those big trout in the warm water is at daybreak and you might not even have a bite after 9 am. For the cool water fish, we sometimes won’t even hit the water until 9 am with the best bite happening as the sun warms those suitable areas. Large seatrout are a bucket list fish no doubt and you would be surprised how many of them come on kayak fishing charters in February.

INSHORE ADVENTURES WITH SKYE

February Bite

he lagoon and backwaters this past month have been just wonderful! The water quality was great and I spent many days just marveling at its beauty, we have right here in our backyard. I’m really excited this month as I feel we should see further improvement of the water quality and although fishing can be challenging with the wind and colder days on the flats, you have the opportunity to score some really great flats action if you can use the brakes in the weather to your advantage.

Bait movement

I have been watching mullet running in large schools all across the flats, but as it warms up it can be scarce. That means you will find yourself using artificials more often than not, you all know I love my artificials! You will find me on the flights with My favorite DOA paddle tails or jerk baits rigged weedless. We all have our favorite Lures and I am guilty of this as well, but I implore you to use different Lure tactics, spending some time outside of your comfort zone is when you can really grow as an angler.

Trout February is a great month for Trout. In all the usual tactics will be in play and lower light conditions it is top water time for sure however you can toss on a popping cork and hit those Sandy potholes, you can feel at the end of your line there is no better than feeling that rod tip bending and your drag screaming and watching a beautiful Gator Trout Surface. In these cooler Temps you can find these large Trout in the deeper holes bends and cuts schooled up against the mangroves. 18 CENTRAL FLORIDA

FEBRUARY 2021

Sheepshead

One species that is always overlooked in the lagoon and flats however it can be a ton of fun to go and catch these convicts as they are affectionately called you are going to want to target these fish along oyster bars with deep drop offs and of course the pilings along the channel are the main places to look for them for sheepshead fishing I mostly use live or for frozen fiddler crabs or shrimp if using frozen shrimp I like to peel them before I put them on the hook I find it really increases My bit to hook up ratio.

Locally Owned With A Chef Inspired Menu They say in these cooler months Redfish bite slows done. I have to say

Redfish

this is my favorite time to catch these beauties. During these colder Temps Millie’s offers out in the flats, back creeks, and canals. You can find then schooled up fresh LOCALroots seafood in large and small groups. Nestled up against the mangrove hiding , by structure, the Redfish bite is fire right now. We are definitely having a meat and produce. lot of windy and cooler days you will find them up on the leeward banks basking the sun for warmer water temps! However, during the warmer stretches you will find them out in the larger3218 expansive grass flAvenue at roaming S. Atlantic around waiting for you. Wind or cold the fish areBeach there, and the bite on. Daytona Shores, FLis32118 Remember if you don’t go you’ll never know so get out there. So wait are you waiting for get out there and fish!!!!

Ponce Inlet & Backwaters

ebruary is usually another cold month for us, but it doesn’t mean the fishing can’t be hot! Pompano, sheepshead, mangrove snapper, and black drum should be able to be targeted and help you achieve some meat for the freezer! Pompano will be in deeper channels and along the rocks at the inlet. Sand fleas, shrimp, and even artificial baits like fish bites, and (don’t be afraid to try) banana jigs will help you boat them. Sheepshead also will be a sure go to this month. If you can find fiddler crabs (that is my favorite bait) but a shrimp or sand flea will also do the trick. They will be feeding on structure so rocks, docks, and even mangrove roots covered in growth will help get you in the general area. Just keep

moving around till you find them. Another sure bet this time of the year will be black drum. I use blue

crab quarters or halves for them, but I also get my fair share on shrimp. They tend to be in deeper holes in the back waters, around the bridges north and south of the inlet, and around the tip of the north jetty. The bite windows on tide swings can be a little smaller on the cold days but get out there and catch some fish! As always if you see us on the water say hello!
