The Top Free Boating Resources and Courses

A

re you a boating enthusiast or new to the waves? This guide offers the best free boating resources to get you started or help you discover new ways to enjoy your time on the water.

6 Free Boating Resources Whether you’re looking for free boating tips, courses to earn your boater education card, or an experienced boater looking for exciting new activities or information on vessel maintenance, we’ve got you covered.

1. Discover Boating: Free Boating Tips and Resources First, our boating blog is a treasure trove of information for boaters of all levels. We collaborate with experienced boaters nationwide to bring you research-backed articles on everything you need to know. We’ve got everything from essential safety tips and logistical must-haves to guides for owning and renting boats.

Thinking about fishing, watersports, or just enjoying the outdoors? We’ll show you the way. Need help finding boats or boat shows? Curious about boat clubs? We’ve got you covered there too. And, of course, we’ll guide you through buying a boat, including all the fun stuff – like using and maintaining it!

In addition, finding your dream boat couldn’t be easier with our boat finder tool. Simply select your preferences across four categories, and we’ll match you with the perfect vessel. Need to compare features? No problem – select up to three boats and click “Compare Boats” to see them side-by-side.

On the other hand, maybe you’re looking for a more temporary solution. In that case, our boat rental finder tool is here to help!

Find local rentals in your area or explore chartering options – all with just a few clicks. No matter your experience level, our free

boating resources and advice will keep you sailing smoothly.

2. National Safe Boating Council The National Safe Boating Council website offers various educational and free boating resources. Dive into safety regulations, statistics, and trends to learn the ropes. Or learn more about government agencies and organizations dedicated to keeping you afloat!

You can also explore safe boating programs and courses online and in person. Need to brush up on terminology? A glossary of boating terms is at your fingertips. Plus, get answers to frequently asked questions about recreational boating.

3. BOATERexam.com For more free boating tips and resources, BOATERexam.com has great materials on how to be a safe and confident boater!

Learn about different boats, their parts and sizes, and how to keep them running smoothly. They also cover essentials like life jackets, fire extinguishers, and distress signals.

Want to be even more prepared? Learn how to read navigation lights, plan trips for good weather, and handle emergencies.

4. United States Coast Guard: Boating Safety The United States Coast Guard wants everyone to enjoy boating safely so that there are more good times – and fewer accidents. And that’s why they offer free boating resources with tips to keep you safe from one of the most trusted resources on the water.

On their website, you’ll also find information on required equipment, new boating laws, and even lesser-known safety topics like carbon monoxide poisoning, paddling safety, and boat maintenance checks.

5. Boat Ed Do you know if your state requires a boating license to be on the water legally or if you only need a boater education card? Some states ask for a boater license, while others require a boater education card. That’s why Boat Ed offers online courses and tests to prepare you for safe and responsible boating (including Canada). And they even have information on specific state boating laws!

6. BoatUS Foundation For most U.S. states, the BoatUS Foundation offers free online boating courses! And the best part? The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and the United States Coast Guard have acknowledged and approved their courses. (And your state boating license agency – like the Department of Wildlife Resources.)

Simply visit their website to pick your state’s free boating course and complete the online materials. This website is also an excellent resource for so many other topics like: • On-Water Training • Clean Boating • Captains Networks • Equipment Rentals The Best Free Boating Courses and Resources Recreational boating is a blast, but safety is key. And that’s why Discover Boating prioritizes creating free boating resources.

Explore our boating blog for more tips and guidance!

Volvo Penta unveils helm-to-propeller hybrid-electric package

I

ntroducing the groundbreaking Volvo Penta hybrid-electric package – a fully integrated helm-to-propeller experience with new drive modes and intelligent features, setting a new benchmark in marine technology. Starting at the end of 2025, Volvo Penta will begin limitedscale production of its fully integrated, advanced hybrid-electric solutions across its heavy-duty range.

Innovative helm-to-propellerhybrid-electricpackage Volvo Penta has unveiled its innovative helm-to-propeller hybridelectric package, showcasing an unwavering commitment to advancing the future of marine technology. This market unique offering delivers a fully integrated hybrid-electric package, ensuring seamless operation and an exceptional user experience. The system guarantees impeccable transitions between power modes, enhancing both performance, comfort and operational efficiency.

The hybrid-electric package introduces features such as near-silent cruising, allowing closer proximity to nature; peaceful quiet nights onboard using batteries instead of a generator; and Joystick Driving and Assisted Docking in Electric Mode, making docking, departure and driving smooth and harmonious. Additionally, it allows access to emission-free zones and environmentally sensitive areas, enabling exceptional nature experiences.

A fully integrated hybrid-electricsystem The Volvo Penta hybrid-electric package is a complete, fully integrated system with Volvo Penta controlling all parts from helmto-propeller. The system features the full range of Volvo Penta D13 IPS 900/1050/1200/1350 Hybrid, 160 kW electric motor and Volvo Penta optimized batteries, delivering powerful performance, excellent maneuverability, and efficiency. The electric motor and diesel engine

work in parallel on the same drive shaft, allowing for smooth Pure Electric drive mode, Hybrid mode, and seamless automatic power transitions. In Cross-Over mode, one diesel engine propel both drives, with the aim to optimize efficiency and prolong the operation time between required engine maintenance. Depending on the chosen drive mode, the system automatically controls whether the boat should be powered by the electric motor, the combustion engine, or both, ensuring seamless and efficient operation.

Pioneering hybrid-electricfeatures The hybrid-electric package is integrated with advanced technology, orchestrated by the Volvo Penta Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) and innovative features in new drive modes. This enables Joystick Driving, Joystick Docking, Low Speed, Dynamic Positioning System (DPS), and Assisted Docking in both Pure Electric and Hybrid modes.

The package features Glass Cockpit with an added hybrid-electric driver interface (HMI) view displaying new functions such as drive modes and battery status. The EVC system will enable monitoring of engine status, remote diagnostics, and data sharing capabilities, allowing for remote software updates and ensuring an enhanced level of premium support through Volvo Penta’s global service network.

A seamless and serene experience The Volvo Penta hybrid-electric package creates a uniquely desirable experience at sea. It offers seamless driveline transitions, with electric motors and combustion engines working in harmony to boost acceleration or charge the batteries as needed. This allows for lowspeed navigation in Pure Electric mode, bringing the boat closer to

nature with silent cruising and enabling access to environmentally protected areas that permit entry only to boats with full electric propulsion.

Experience the tranquility and effortless precision of Joystick Driving and Assisted Docking in Pure Electric mode, offering smoother, more intuitive control. The reduced noise level facilitates smooth communication onboard and a serene experience on the water. In challenging weather conditions, full combustion engine power is readily available at the push of a button.

During nights, off-grid mooring in complete silence and comfort is possible, using battery energy for all onboard power needs. The system allows the use of the combustion engine as a generator, seamlessly switching between power sources to recharge the batteries during the voyage or while docked. This capability drastically reduces or even eliminates the need for additional generator run-time, enhancing overall efficiency.

The hybrid system offers the best of both worlds: the range and top speed of traditional engines combined with the near-silence and zero emissions of Pure Electric mode. This results in enhanced comfort, near-quiet slow cruising, an electric boost in acceleration, and excellent driveline and feature response. The extensive energy in the battery bank enables living aboard off-grid, providing a truly revolutionary, seamless, and close-to-nature experience on the water.

Delivery of the D13 IPS hybrid-electric package is set to begin at the end of 2025.

Sea Ray® Expands its Next-Generation SDX® Series with the New SDX® 250 and SDX® 250 Surf S

ea Ray is expanding its next-generation SDX lineup with two new models. The dynamic SDX 250 and SDX 250 Surf blend quality, functionality and capability to provide limitless fun. Available in sterndrive and surf configurations, the vessels feature powerful propulsion, abundant storage, optimized seating and premium amenities to suit any aquatic activity.

Whether entertaining or wakesurfing, the versatile SDX 250 is well-equipped with plenty of room for full days on the water with family and friends.

Offering capacity with capability, the SDX 250 models have a beam of 8’6” in a 25-ft. vessel. The wide and open layout featured on both models has been optimized for space and comfort with premium amenities for all-day enjoyment. Features include an enhanced cockpit with a sleek curved windshield for improved visibility, plush L-shaped bench seating, adjustable seating configurations, an integrated cooler compartment and USB outlets. The oversized helm seat and port companion seat have movable backrests that convert from forward-facing to aftfacing seats. The cockpit can be further enhanced with options like a table and inductive charging stations.

Boasting impressive performance and power, the SDX 250 is propelled by a standard 300-horsepower Mercury® MerCruiser® 6.2L MPI ECT engine with a Bravo Three® drive, SmartCraft technology and Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) controls. Showcasing an innovative wakesurfing system, the SDX 250 Surf is powered by a standard 300-horsepower MerCruiser 6.2L MPI ECT engine with a forward-facing Bravo Four S® drive, contra-rotating props, SmartCraft technology and DTS. The forward-facing drive sets up the boat for wakesurfing and improves maneuverability when docking or traveling at low speeds.

The SDX 250 Surf is outfitted with Sea Ray’s intuitive NextWave™ surf system that generates repeatable, rideable waves for wakesurfing and other thrilling watersports. The

vessel’s transom is engineered to produce a clean wave with plenty of push while electric surf tabs, Active Trim and three ballast tanks featuring 1,550 lbs. of ballast control the height of the wave and produce a long or short pocket. Taking the guesswork out of configurating settings, the boat is equipped with a Sea Ray custom surf interface powered by Mercury Smart Tow® presenting three pre-set modes for surfing, wakeboarding and skiing/tubing. Also, boaters can use the visual display to adjust the settings with the touch of a button to accommodate riders’ preferences and skill levels.

The electric-folding watersports tower, standard on the surf variation and optional on the sterndrive variation, provides passengers seated in the cockpit protection from the sun and inclement weather. The tower features an integrated Bimini top and tow points to pull wakesurfers or wakeboarders. For easy storage, the tower can be lowered or raised, and optional tower speakers and board racks can be added. Side tow points and surf knobs are included on the SDX 250 Surf tower providing improved line management for wakesurfers by keeping them out of the wake and away from propeller wash.

The helm is equipped with a Digital Dash offering a standard 9” Simrad® NSX® touchscreen display (dual 9” NSX displays are standard on the surf variation) featuring a chartplotter with preloaded charts and Mercury Marine® SmartCraft® Connect for simplified engine monitoring. Other highlights include Active Trim control and monitoring and an optional inductive charging station.

Convenient storage areas have been incorporated from bow to stern to keep items secure and out of the way. An in-floor compartment in the transom walkway is equipped with drainage to stow wet gear, and multiple storage spaces under the cockpit bench seating can be used to stash boards and bulky items.

To accommodate extended days on the water, the space can be upgraded with the Water System Bundle to a head with

a sink and countertop. In addition, the finished portside helm compartment presents even more storage options to ensure boaters and guests have the space they need.

The bow showcases U-shaped lounge-style seating and an additional integrated cooler compartment to keep refreshments and snacks within reach. For ultimate usability, the bow can be upgraded with the Comfort Bundle to add a table and a filler cushion that transforms the spot into a luxe sunpad. The bow can also be enhanced with manual bow sunshade and boarding ladder options.

At the transom, the convertible sunpad features a backrest that folds down to extend the area. An adjacent optional Fusion® remote places stereo controls close by. The broad swim platform offers a concealable ladder and manual submersible step, optional on the sterndrive variation and standard on the surf variation. Plus, the transom includes a ski tow eye attachment to connect watersports riders.

Available as an upgrade to the SDX 250 Surf, boaters can select the Highline Appearance Package to complement their style. The package offers a sporty, two-toned exterior color scheme with black engine vent covers and a hull side metallic accent stripe as well as special interior upholstery stitching and SeaDek® flooring pattern enhancements. Boaters can also customize their SDX 250 or SDX 250 Surf to match their preferences with an assortment of bundles and options.

The SDX 250 and SDX 250 Surf are now available for order in North America. Timing for international availability to follow.

UNITED STATES COAST GUARD FLOTILLA 7-16 OFFERS SAFE BOATING CLASSES IN GULFPORT, FL, MEETS THE THIRD WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH. These classes qualify the attendee for the FWC Safe Boating Card. This card is required for most people born after January 1, 1988 to legally operate a power boat with greater than 10hp motor in Florida. The one-day class includes instruction on safety equipment, boat handling, rules of the road, navigation aids, communications, trailering, legal requirements and others. Power and sailboats are covered, as well as personal watercraft. Of course, besides making a boater in compliance, the main goal of the class is to create a safer boater. Classes are offered on the second Saturday of each month. To sign up, contact Marty Richardson at (630)674-5352. Flotilla 7-16 also performs free courtesy vessel safety inspections for power and sail boats, personal watercraft, and paddle craft. The inspector will come to your location, inspect the required safety features of your vessel, and if you pass will provide a safety sticker to mount on your vessel. The inspection is a courtesy, so no action is taken if problems are found. But the vessel owner then knows of any deficiencies to correct before having an accident or being sanctioned by the Coast Guard. To get more information or to schedule an inspection, contact Howard Bush at (305)731-3580. Anyone interested is invited to attend. Contact Flotilla Commander Howard Bush for more information at (305)731-3580.

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County.

These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water.

These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority.

Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com.

St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.

BUSY, CLASSES DON’T FIT YOUR TIMETABLE? THEN ADJUST OUR SCHEDULE We understand BUSY. The Banana River Sail and Power Squadron teaches a large number of classes. They are regularly scheduled throughout the year. Sometimes your schedule and our schedule do not match.

Rather than have you miss a class offering we will schedule and teach any of the classes listed below whenever five (5) or more students make a request for a class. To make a class request, please call 321-220-7776 or email hofmanneg@ juno.com for more information or to request

a class. LIST OF COURSES: BASIC BOATING: America’s Boating Course 3rd Edition.

COAST GUARD AUXILIARY OFFERS VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS AND SAFE BOATING CLASSES - A Vessel Safety Check is a complimentary check of your boat conducted by members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state requirements for safety. No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutually-convenient time.

It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker. Call 727898-1324 to find an inspector or go to www. cgaux.org/vsc/. Boating skills and Seamanship Programs ae presented by the USCG Auxiliary, Flotilla 72 each Tuesday night, 7:30-9:30 pm, 1300 Beach Drive, SE, St. Petersburg.

Call 727-898-1324 for information or to go http://flotilla72registration.info to pre-register.

Completion satisfies the state of Florida boater safety education requirement.

FLORIDA BOATER’S ID CARD - Don’t forget that “Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 is required to either have successfully completed a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating education course or have passed a course equivalency or temporary certificate examination and have in their possession a boating education ID card and a photo identification card before operating a vessel with a motor of 10 HP or more in Florida.”

with Captain Sergio Atanes Trolling the canals for Backyard Groupers - October is the start for some inshore fun fishing as gag groupers move into the canals on the west coast andinside of Tampa Bay. Change in weather opens up the door to different types of fishing. Big reds move into the deeper flats, snook start their migration into the creeks and rivers and breeder speckled trout (gator trout) called for their bright orange mouth roam the deep waters off the bridges and edges of channels.

October is my let’s do something different month and I spend at least part of my charter or my fun fishing day trying to catch gag grouper by trolling in the canals from lower Tampa Bay to Clearwater Beach. First-incoming tide is best, and you need to troll the canals that hold at least 5 feet or more of water at low tide. Second, study your area first as not all canals hold fish. Find the ones that have structure, builder’s dump rocks and left over concrete rubble around the docks as protection against erosion.

Over the years these structurers become artificial reefs or feeding stations for all species, attracting small bait fish, crabs and shrimp. This also makes a great stopping ground for grouper during the fall and winter months.

There are many manufacturers of great trolling lures for grouper. We all have our preference, andmine happens

to be Mann’s stretch 15 Plus. This lure works best between 6 to 15 feet of water, perfect for trolling docks. The speed you troll depends on the depth of water, hull design and size of engine.

When trolling it’s best to go by RPM than speed. When you get your first strike make a mental note of your RPM and stick with it, since a change in tide movement or wind could affect your speed and you might need to change your RPM accordingly.

Try keeping the lure as close as possible to the outside edges of the docks, and watch the tip of your rod because you will want the lure to bump the bottom once in a while and this tells you you’re on target. I always troll with two rods and each one has a different color lure, some days blue works and others they only touch green back ones, so my recommendation is always carry 4 or 5 different colors and fish them until you find the one that works for the day.

Somedays are better than others and the water temperature has a lot to do with the bite. The cooler the water temperature the better the bite.

Work an area more than once, sometimes Mr. Gag just didn’t get there in time for a meal and your second run through gives him a chance and you a second shot of landing a prize catch.

I have caught plenty

with Captain Ray Markham Capt. Ray Markham’s West Central Florida Fishing Journal The hunt for reds in October is on the way. Barring any outbreaks of red tide that could push fish away from the bloom, schools of giant redfish pushing measuring tapes beyond the 40-inch range will be showing up over the next few months to spawn and mingle with smaller inshore redfish. These big breeders typically live in Gulf waters and move into our estuary here in Tampa Bay and along the coast in the fall months to feed on schooling mullet and whatever forage gets in their way. This heavy feeding activity is the precursor to the annual fall spawning season.

are situated under their chins, making surface feeding difficult and hook-ups even tougher. If I had to choose a topwater lure it would be an old favorite from MirrOlure, the 94MR18 or 21 Top Dog. But in the last couple of years, this company produced an award-winning new topwater lure called the Duke Dog, another walk-the-dog style lure, that won best saltwater hard bait in the 2023 ICAST trade show. This lure has a smaller profile that is easier for reds to get in their mouths and has accounted for hundreds of fish for me over the past year. Snook, trout, redfish, bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, cobia, and numerous other species have been caught on these lures.

Mullet will begin schooling in the fall in preparation for spawning in the Gulf. Usually, this is triggered by a cold front pushing these fish out of the passes into the Gulf where they spawn. But before the front, mullet milling around the shallows while feeding will kick up small baitfish, crabs, and shrimp out of the seagrass. Redfish will follow close behind to feed on this forage, and the big hungry reds will pick out a mullet.

It’s difficult to catch redfish on topwater lures because their mouths

In October, area waters will begin cooling down into the 70s, attracting schools of Spanish mackerel and migrating kingfish from the Panhandle. Look for circling or diving birds feeding on bait schools. Spanish mackerel will rip through the bait schools slashing these pilchards, threadfins, and glass minnows. Birds will settle for the wounded baitfish missed by the mack attack. Putting numbers of mackerel in the cooler is simple.

They love flashy spoons or jigs that

West Central Florida of flounder, redfish, trout and some pretty big snook while trolling for gags.

The best part is that you can start trolling early, catch your fish and be back at the dock in time for the football game.

My favorite tackle: Rod: OKUMA Cedros 7’ Medium.

Reel: OKUMA 6000Azores.

Line: FINS Windtamer 40-pound braided line.

Leader: None I tie braided line direct to lure.

Lures: - Rapala Shadow Rap Shad Shallow Trolling Lure. The Rapala Shadow Rap Shad Shallow Trolling Lure only dives to 5-feet and imitates the action of a wounded shad.

- Yo-Zuri Crystal 3D Minnow Deep Diver Trolling Lure’s 13-foot diving depth is perfect.

- Manns 15+ slow trolled in the deeper canals are one of my favorites.

- The Bass Assassin Saltwater Sea Shad is a classic saltwater fishing lure that works great when trolling for groupers too. The rubber tail’s action imitates a frantic bait fish trying to escape a hungry grouper.

West Central Florida move quickly through the water. The liberal limit of 15 fish per harvester per day with a 12-inch minimum length measured from the tip of the nose to the fork of the tail makes for some great fish for the smoker.

In mid-October stone crab traps will be placed by commercial and recreational anglers, making these small traps, lines, and buoy markers like mini-artificial reefs. The longer they are in the water the more marine growth accumulates on them, attracting tripletail. Making a day of hopping from trap to trap with a DOA Shrimp or live shrimp can make for some very tasty tripletail as your reward. Two fish per angler per day with a minimum of 18 inches in length will make for a terrific dinner.

Snook season is still open, pompano will begin showing up in better numbers, and flounder remain open until the seasonal closure from October 15 through November 30, giving anglers plenty of options for some great fall fishing. ‘Til then…I’ll catch ya later!

Palm Beach and Jupiter inshore report September was a wild month! As the month comes to an end, the local waterways have been a roller coaster, calm water, rough water, dirty water lots of bait no bait. Every day is a new mission.

Always a highly targeted species tarpon. Number one fan favorite! The tarpon have been very active during low light hours, early morning and evenings. Tarpon are crashing schools near channels and structures. Live bait, Rapala skitter walks and Doa bait busters great baits to enice tarpon. Tarpon can be seen rolling on the surface, this is always fun. It makes it easy for anglers to pinpoint location of the silver king.

Snook! They are on the move beaches, deep passes, and the intercoastal waterways are thriving with snook. The mullet run migration has triggered an explosive feeding at times, lowlight hours typically are the best times when fish are active. Snook fishing is great around seawalls, docks and bridges this past week. Mullet schools are migrating using these areas to hide o u t .

Moving water is the key though, throughout the day, incoming and

outgoing tide trigger bait schools to migrate as snook ambush these pods creating feeding frenzies. Live Mullet, freelined, Rapala skitter walks, Doa bait busters and Doa 4” jerk baits, all great baits to get the strike.

Tarpon junkies! Yes, we are. That’s always our main target, the silver kings have been very active whether you’re targeting beaches, deep passes, docks and shorelines, these fish are active and ready to eat. Live mullet freelined with tide or Rapala skitter walks and Doa terror eyz will get the drag screaming.

When not targeting snook and tarpon anglers like to tango with the hard pulling jack crevalle. These fish like to school up creating nonstop action for anglers. Mixed in with the jacks and are catching bluefish, ladyfish, snapper and sharks.

With the mullet migration happening, there are so many species that are taking advantage of

Fall Fishing Frenzy We are into our fall season and there are subtle changes that we are already noticing. Weather is just a tad bit cooler in the morning, it is getting darker earlier, and the sun is rising later each morning. These changes are subtle to us, but it really gets the baitfish and the predators going. We have noticed a lot more bait on the beach including pilchards, threadfin herring and sardines. More bait means more predators. I haven’t seen the mullet pushing south yet but that should happen any day now.

Soon we will be in the thick of sailfish season, but we are already seeing sailfish almost daily. There is a big abundance of bonitos around. With the bonitos we should be seeing a push of wahoo, sailfish and bigger kingfish. Bonitos are a perfect morsel for those predators. We have also seen a lot more ballyhoos on the beach and in 20 to 40 ft range. The same thing happened last year, and we started seeing big mahis feeding on those ballyhoos. You usually associate mahis with deep Gulfstream water but when the ballyhoos are thick on the reef, these

mahis move in. It’s quite the sight to see a ballyhoo shower and then see a bunch of big mahis in the shallow water chasing them. Sailfish also love ballyhoo, and they also go in and feed in the ballyhoo schools.

Farther offshore we have seen very steady action with daytime swordfishing.

We have been lucky enough and have caught a swordfish on all our recent daytime sword trips. Typically, the fall is a great time for swordfish and October and November are two of my favorite months to target these fish.

Another fishery that starts to peak in the fall is the high-speed wahoo fishing in the Bahamas. I have always done well in late September and October with wahoo in Bimini. This past full moon, many of the boats that went over did well catching a half dozen wahoos per day. Wahoo fishing is quite the thrill.

this migratory pattern.

Jacks, sharks, bluefish, ladyfish, snapper, grouper, and so many other species are all gorging themselves on their next meal.

It’s definitely a spectacular event lasting for such a short time, but for those that get to experience it, it’s definitely a great time and creates memories.

Well, that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you enjoyed.

Remember, you can’t catch them from the couch so get out there and get hooked up.

Tight lines!

Southeast Coast There is no other sound that rivals the sound of a reel when the lure gets eaten by a wahoo while trolling at 15knots. The reel starts to scream and you literally think the reel is going to explode.

You better make sure all your terminal tackle and tackle are in order because if they are not, tackle failure will certainly occur.

I really hope to do quite a few wahoo trips this fall and winter.

With all that said, know is the time to book your fall/winter trips. Whether it’s a wahoo trip to the Bahamas, a daytime swordfish trip or a kite fishing trip - book it now and Let’s Go!!
