The Top Family-Friendly Fall Boating Activities I f you’re anything like us, you’re looking for ways to extend the boating season! Luckily, we’ve figured out the key – finding fun, family-friendly fall boating activities. We’re talking sterngating, fishing, sightseeing, camping, grilling fresh seafood, and more!

while waiting for the fish to bite. Additionally, they learn responsibility through managing the equipment – but also confidence! The sense of accomplishment is real when they reel in that first catch!

The 6 Best Fall Boating Activities for Families Before you say it’s too cold, keep a few things in mind. For starters, it’s only mildly chilly. (The temperature will drop way more come wintertime!) So, you just need to reimagine what boat days look like when the air is a bit more crisp.

Even if you can’t swim all day, you can still enjoy family boating activities in autumn! Keep scrolling to see our top choices.

3. Sightseeing (Or Leaf Peeping!)

Remember to check out historical or architectural sights when planning fall boating activities for your family! Once the leaves change color, it’s the perfect time to check out new places.

1. Sterngating (Boatgating or Sailgating) Fall boating activities offer a range of fun options, and sterngating is a standout favorite.

Boatgating is the boat version of tailgating – and it’s a blast!

You’re missing out if you haven’t tried this boat-based twist on watching sports.

A classic day for our families usually includes cruising the waters and watching a game on television or outside the stadium! Some waterfront stadiums provide boatgating experiences during games, allowing you to enjoy the game while on the water.

2. Fishing When it comes to fall boating activities, few can match the appeal of a family fishing trip. Fishing is one of the best family activities this time of year because it teaches kids important lessons about life.

When children or young adults go fishing, they learn patience

Some of our favorite areas include: • Acadia National Park in Maine (and New England in general) • The Potomac River/Chesapeake Bay in Virginia • Lake Tahoe in California • The Hudson River Valley in New York • Columbia River Gorge in Oregon/Washington • Dillon Reservoir in Colorado These are just a few well-known places that you can check out. Most bodies of water near you will have their own hot spots to explore. You just need to find them!

4. Boat Camping There’s something special about boat camping we can’t quite put our finger on. And there are so many ways to do it! Either beach your bowrider and pitch a tent along the coast or anchor your vessel and spend the night aboard. Either way, you’ll wake up in a beautiful setting with minimal outside distractions.

What is the most crucial safety tip to follow when camping with your family in the fall? Watching kids carefully when they’re near the water! You’ll also need to ensure you have life jackets and all necessary safety gear.

5. Grilling Out or Picnicking Let’s face it – food brings people together.

Cooking meals on your boat for your loved ones is a fall boating activity for families that is often overlooked.

For a premier day of grilling, we recommend combining this event with another one above. Why not have your family or guests try their hand at fishing for their own dinner? Or start the day by cruising to see some beautiful fall foliage and end it with a delicious lakeside boat picnic!

6. Family Boating Activities: Game Night Lastly, we must end this list by mentioning a winner yearround, which is game night aboard your boat! Kids especially need to get out and widen their horizons and perspectives. So, enjoying game night like you usually do – but in a new location – can make all the difference.

Just remember it may be a bit rocky, so Jenga may not be the wisest choice (unless you’re ready for a challenge), but any card or board game will surely please the whole crew.

Spend Fall Outdoors With These Fun Family Boating Activities The best thing you can do as a family is get outdoors and find ways to connect. These are just some of our favorite family boating activities, but there are many more! Feel free to get creative and come up with your own ideas.

Explore our blog for more inspiration on fun, family-friendly activities to do on your boat! These articles have great ideas to help you enjoy the water together.

Article courtesy of DiscoverBoating. Discover Boating is a public awareness effort managed by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) on behalf of the North American recreational boating industry.

Discover Boating programs focus on increasing participation and creating interest in recreational boating by demonstrating the benefits, affordability and accessibility of the boating lifestyle while helping to educate potential boaters and offering opportunities to experience the fun and togetherness of being on the water on a boat. Each year nearly 70 million people in the U.S. enjoy boating, the recreational activity that “connects like no other.”

IOSSO WATER REPELLENT NOW EVEN SAFER

L

ong considered the go-to product for protecting outdoor fabrics against water, dirt, grime and environmental contaminants, Iosso Premium Water Repellent is now PFAS-free. And while still having excellent oil resistance properties, it has now been enhanced with UV inhibitors, benefiting owners and fabricators alike.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are toxic “forever chemicals” that build up in a body and are often linked with a myriad of human diseases. Premium Water Repellent doesn’t contain solvents or silicone that alter fabric color, finish or breathability. And with new oleophobic properties, oils and lubricants won’t accidentally darken textiles.

Iosso Premium Water Repellent is equally effective on canvasand laminated and coated solution-dyed acrylics. Simple to use, the formula is applied to the clean, dry fabric to the point of saturation and allowed to dry. Once the item has dried for 24 hours, it can be exposed to water.

A 32oz. bottle covers approximately 40 sq. ft. while theone-gallon size covers up to 150 sq. ft. Prices start at $49.95.

BoatUS Foundation, National Safe Boating Council Launch Pilot Program to Make Borrowing a Life Jacket Easier to get the right size life jackets, whether infant, child, teen or adult,” he added. The program loans out more than 140,000 life jackets annually.

DECKEE mobile app aims to help increase life jacket wear rates

A

NNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 3, 2024 – The nonprofit BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water and the National Safe Boating Council, which provides national boating safety outreach, have teamed up with boating app provider DECKEE to make it easier to find and borrow child- or adult-sized life jackets for temporary use, such as for a day or weekend, with the goal of increasing life jacket wear and boating safety.

This pilot program has integrated the BoatUS Foundation’s more than 600 life jacket loaner sites across the nation into the simple-to-use DECKEE app, allowing boaters to find their closest BoatUS Foundation loaner site on a map – highlighted by the BoatUS logo – or be notified when they are near a BoatUS Foundation Life Jacket Loaner location.

www.abelsmarine.com

“It’s a great way to find a life jacket loaner if you have unexpected guests aboard,” said BoatUS Foundation program manager Alan Dennison. The Foundation’s loaner database includes more than 600 free kids’ Life Jacket Loaner Program sites at marinas, boat clubs, campgrounds, marinas, firehouses and TowBoatUS companies. “We really want to make it easier for families

Said Peg Phillips, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council: “The pilot app project with DECKEE and the BoatUS Foundation will help give us an accurate and scalable way to measure the influence of ongoing outreach programs. For example, a notification that comes as a gentle reminder of a nearby life jacket loaner site may reinforce or prompt increased life jacket wear by kids and adults.”

In 2023, statistics show 75% of fatal boating accident victims drowned (where the cause of death was known). Of those, 87% were not wearing a life jacket.

The DECKEE app is available for free for iOS and Android devices. For more information on the BoatUS Foundation Kids Life Jacket Loaner program, go BoatUS.org/LJLP.

Lenco Pro Control™ Wins 2024 IBEX Innovation Award

L

enco™, a leader in the design and manufacture of trim tabs, actuators, hatch lifts and accessories, has been awarded a 2024 IBEX Innovation Award in the Propulsion Parts, Propellers category for its Pro Control auto-leveling solution.

“It is an honor to have Pro Control selected as a winner for a 2024 IBEX Innovation Award,” said Patrick Roberts, VP and General Manager, Performance Components of Navico Group. “This new product was developed with boaters in mind, aiming to make their time on the water smoother, faster and safer. We are very proud of this recognition and thank the judges for highlighting the hard work our team put into Pro Control.”

Introduced earlier this month, Pro Control Auto revolutionizes boat stability, automatically counteracting a variety of dynamic running conditions, including weight shifts, keeping passengers on an even keel. The new trim tab system boasts an industry-best 74% improvement in auto-leveling*, out-performing the leading interceptor brand by 25%**. Pro Control Auto features a newly refined responsive algorithm that allows for greater control at all speeds and improved response times providing enhanced control to the helm, making near-instant adjustments in response to sea conditions. Additionally, improved holeshot gets boaters on plane faster, providing superior comfort and visibility sooner, with a rapid transition into auto-leveling. Averaging an industry-best 24% reduction of re-entry impact*, Pro Control Auto makes for a smoother, more comfortable and cushioned ride.

Control is in the hands of the captain with Pro Control’s Auto and Assist options, providing total flexibility for different users. Pro Control Assist offers a manual control option, featuring a smart, sleek dial controller, designed to provide a class-leading user interface. Boaters can get all the benefits of Pro Control, including hole-shot assist,

Offering best-in-class connectivity, Pro Control is built on all-new CAN-based hardware, ensuring an interconnected system.

Additionally, Pro Control offers seamless operation with Mercury® SmartCraft® and supports MFD integration for trim and surf systems, delivering the best integrated user experience on the market.

For boatbuilders, dealers and service technicians, an advanced service and setup tool is offered to accompany Pro Control, allowing for advanced configuration, diagnostics, and vessel profile loading. The Pro Control system offers several user-customizable sensitivity and authority settings to dial in performance modified to an individual vessel.

“The Lenco Pro Control Auto leveling system leverages existing plane mounting points to and counteracts dynamic running conditions to improve stability, reduce pitch and reentry impact. This cost-effective system is a snap to install and configure,” said judge Rich Armstrong.

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.

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.

flies had been key to triggering strikes from these hungry fish.

Before the hurricanes hit the Gulf, the fishing along the Nature Coast was exceptionally good. Inshore and fly anglers had been enjoying some super fun action from a late-season run of juvenile tarpon.

Juvenile tarpon, typically weighing 10-25 pounds, are incredibly acrobatic fighters when hooked making them a blast to target on fly and light tackle.

So the million dollar question right now is what’s going to happen to the fishing now that these hurricanes have departed the Gulf? Well this is what we know: Water temperatures will plummet.

Migratory fish will flee away from the impacted areas of these storms.

Water clarity will take time reach its pristine state.

Early mornings had been Prime Time for targeting these fish as they often keyed in on surface shadows while stalking prey from depths ranging from 4-6ft of water. The kryptonite for these late season tarpon had been small chartreuse flies tied sparsely or shiny twitch bait lures in the 3-4” range. With the Gulf’s abundance of food, tarpon anglers were looking for more of a reaction strike than a finesse bite. Fast, erratic retrieves with lures and quick strips with

The Good news is we were way over due for a cool down in water temperatures. The Bad news is our local flats and backcountry marshes are usually always crystal clear this time of year.

Long story short anglers are going to have to be open to targeting species such as Redfish, Snook and Speckled Trout on the blind. Casting search baits such as jigs, topwater lures, and jerkbaits are going to find great success when targeting fish on the blind.

The fun part of this

with Captain Dylan Hubbard Inshore Fishing Report Snook action has been hot, especially around the passes. The best time to target these fish is during the night and early morning hours. After sunrise, the beaches and flats come alive with Snook chasing live bait like greenbacks, threadfins, and shrimp. At night, flair hawks and soft plastics are highly effective around the passes.

Redfish are biting well along mangrove shorelines, oyster bars, and local flats. Look for signs of mullet schools or bird activity in the upper and back bay areas. They are most active in the mornings before the heat sets in. At night, target them around dock lights by working the bottom, and during higher tides, soaking dead baits along the mangroves is a great tactic.

Trout are plentiful around deeper flats, potholes, and edges. They’re biting well on soft plastics, white bait, and shrimp. With a slight dip in water temperatures, they’ve become more active, providing excellent fishing opportunities.

Dock lights at night are especially productive, and the upcoming new moon should make the

bite even better.

Tarpon action is expected to heat up this weekend with the new moon bringing stronger tidal flows.

Focus on passes and bridges in the early mornings for your best shot at hooking these powerful fish.

Mangrove snapper are active inshore, especially near structures and deeper channels. Live shrimp and cut threadfins are great bait options, with light tackle and minimal weights working well in the back and upper bay areas.

Chumming is also effective in shallower waters, especially during slack tide.

We’re seeing big sharks caught around the passes, with local anglers landing seven, eight, and nine-foot bull sharks from the passes to the beaches near the bridge. Now is a great time to target these big sharks.

Nearshore Fishing Report Near shore, we’re seeing positive signs as the hogfish are starting to put on weight. While the bite isn’t in full swing just yet, we’re

West Central Florida on the verge of seeing it really take off.

Mackerel are also beginning to show up, and their action should continue improving over the next few weeks. This makes our halfday trips even more exciting, as there’s a good chance to catch plenty of mackerel, and maybe even a kingfish. However, prime kingfish season likely won’t begin until the first or second week of October, when water temperatures cool to around 78°F. Currently, we’re still seeing temperatures in the upper80s, but fall is approaching, and the transition is already starting Offshore Fishing Report Offshore, we’re focused on amberjack season, which runs until the end of October. Along with amberjack, we’re landing triggerfish, big mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, vermilion snapper, alamaco jacks, and porgies. There’s a ton of action, and light loads on our trips make this a great time to join us.

Fall Lake Toho Fishing Report The bass fishing on Orlando’s Lake Toho this fall remains excellent. While the lake is filling up with hydrilla and peppergrass, the remaining areas are loaded with bass.

Once you get in one of the areas that are still fishable 20-30 fish days are still the average on our charters. And if you’re looking for a big one, this is a great time. As temps begin to cool down we’re getting 7+ pound bass more and more frequently.

Finding large holes in the grass is the key. There’s a lot of hydrilla and peppergrass on the lake, more than I’ve ever seen.

It’s at least at 70% coverage right now.

While the state does have plans to spray and kill off parts of it in the near future, there’s still open areas right now that are leading to some productive fishing days.

Once you find one of these open areas, a whole range of lures can be used to catch them and it just depends on the weather that day what will work the best. Early topwater has been working, with jerkbaits and rattletraps working if they’re schooling in the open.

Around the thicker hydrilla, speedworms, spinnerbaits, and chatterbaits have been productive. And of course if all else fails, flukes have been working throughout all the areas and conditions. But the best bet of all for getting both the big ones and the most numbers has been on large golden wild shiners.

Even with all the grass on the lake right now, it’s still producing like it always has and it’s been a

It’s been a while since I updated my report page. Fishing has been good even though we have had a couple serious hurricanes skirt Miami and the Keys. I fished the Take stock in children and the FNLGA tour the first week in October. The water in Fl. Bay had a pretty bad Algae Bloom that along with some serious storms made it interesting.

There was a good bite but you had to run around and find clean water. I did on Saturday and my anglers did great, Top angler and second. I also had the top guide. We actually fished these 2 tournaments simultaneously which cost us time having to go to a awards that we won. It hurt us because of the rainstorms on Sunday. It was a fun weekend with the Biscayne Rod and NLBN team.

mph in South Florida, that and some rain kept us off the water until yesterday. I couldn’t take it anymore and went out into everglades Bass fishing with my son. The rain found us again, but we caught Bass, Peacocks and Gar. I will be back on the water this week and hopefully find some of the fish we were on 2 weeks ago. I’m open for business if you have the need to fish give me a call at 305 333 8149. Biscayne Bay, Flamingo or Key Largo I fish them all. Caught Lookin Charters is a family friendly charter.

I couldn’t do allot of what I do without the help of #Biscayne Rod, #Bahio Sunglasses, #NLBN, #Pure Fishing.

Let’s go catch’em!
