10 Essential Docking Accessories for Easier Boat Docking

S

6. Dock Lights for Low-Light Approaches Fixed dock lights help you read distances at dusk and keep foot traffic safe on the pier.

You may also consider surface-mount LED kits, which are popular for simple installs. If you need updated dock lights, Attwood’s stainless LED docking lights are a proven option.

mart boaters keep a tight dockside setup, knowing the importance of safe and efficient docking techniques. They know that the right boat docking accessories cut stress, protect gelcoat, and help their crew move with confidence.

In this blog post, you’ll learn about the top docking accessories that every boater should have on board. Use this checklist to outfit your boat with practical docking tools that work every time.

What Are the Top Boat Docking Accessories?

1. Fenders that Actually Fit Your Hull You should carry at least two fenders per side on smaller boats, three or more on larger craft.

Measure the size to the boat’s length and freeboard, and hang them so the midpoint aligns with the dock edge. Popular fender choices include Polyform G-Series and Taylor Made Super Gard, both known for tough, single-piece construction.

2. Reliable Dock Lines Keep four primary dock lines on board, plus two spring lines. Consider double-braid nylon, which offers strength with controlled stretch, helping cushion loads. In addition, look for pre-spliced eyes and finished ends to speed tie-ups. Sea-Dog’s double-braid options are a reliable choice.

3. A Telescoping Boat Hook A good hook lets you snag a cleat, pull a line, or push off without crunching the rail.

Telescoping models stow easily yet reach far when you need them. If you need a boat hook, Garelick’s Telescoping Boat Hook is a solid pick.

4. Solid Cleats and Hardware If your cleats are undersized or worn, upgrade them before boating season begins. Highquality cleats improve holding power and make line handling smoother. Lewmar’s composite and cam options are built for strength and easy line entry.

5. Dock Bumpers to Protect the Pier Fenders protect your boat’s hull, while dock bumpers protect the dock where your fenders can’t. To avoid damage, add corner cushions or edging at the most-touched spots. Taylor Made offers corner bumpers that match their perimeter pieces, while Polyform’s PG dock moulding is a clean, long-run solution.

7. A Rugged Dock Box for Gear Keep lines, chafe guards, spare fenders, and cleaning tools out of the cockpit, storing them in a secure dock box. A fiberglass dock box protects gear from sun and spray and speeds your pre-departure routine.

8. Mooring Whips for Exposed Slips If your boat dock sees a wake or surge, mooring whips pull the boat a safe distance off the pier to prevent contact. They act like springs and are common on seawalls. While shopping, consider Taylor Made’s premium whips, which are highly recommended by boaters.

9. Chafe Protection and Line Organizers Add guards where lines pass over rub rails or through fairleads. A short piece of tubular webbing or dedicated chafe gear can save a line during a windy night. Store extra lines coiled in a ventilated bag or in your dock box so they stay dry, clean, and ready.

10. A Simple Docking Checklist Post a laminated checklist near the helm that outlines docking guidelines. This can include

steps like fenders set, lines ready, crew stations assigned, and speed under control.

Consistent steps reduce the risk of surprises, which is another reason to utilize solid docking accessories.

You’re Ready to Dock with Confidence Great docking requires preparation and repetition. Keep your docking accessories organized, practice in calm conditions, then work up to wind, current, and tight slips.

Refresh your plan at the start of each season and replace worn gear before it fails. A few final habits go a long way: • Inspect lines, chafe guards, fenders, and cleats every month, and after heavy weather.

• Stage gear the same way each trip so crew members can easily locate the right docking tools without guessing.

• Use your dock box to separate daily-use items from spares and keep a short inventory list under the lid.

• Walk the pier after tying up, check for rub points, and adjust fenders or dock bumpers to match.

• Debrief with your crew; note what worked, what didn’t, and update your docking checklist.

With the right boat docking accessories, a clear plan, and a crew that knows their roles, docking becomes a smooth finish to every outing.

Casting at a Better Angling Future, The Florida Friendly Angler Program!

F

lorida is known as the Fishing Capital of the World, with over 4 million licensed anglers casting lines each year. Together, recreational and commercial fisheries contribute more than $17 billion annually to Florida’s economy and support tens of thousands of jobs (FWC). With fishing playing such a major role in our state’s environment, economy, and culture, it’s up to all of us residents and visitors alike to do our part to protect these valuable resources for future generations.

The Florida Friendly Angler (FFA) program is a free, online, narrated, self-paced course that teaches anglers about Florida’s aquatic environments, responsible fishing practices, and how fisheries management works. By explaining both the “how” and “why” behind the actions anglers take, the program empowers participants to make informed choices that help sustain great fishing experiences and the communities that depend on them. The course is not available in Spanish as well, visit FLFriendlyAngler.com to find the registration for both programs.

Module 1: Environmental Ethics for Anglers This first module explores why ethical behavior and best practices are essential when interacting with Florida’s fisheries and environments. Anglers learn about fishing pressure, how popular species like Gag Grouper have been impacted in the past, and what steps we can take to reduce strain on heavily

12

targeted species. The course also discusses how activities such as anchoring on coral reefs or creating propeller scars in seagrass beds can harm sensitive habitats and offers tips for minimizing those impacts.

Module 2: Best Fishing Practices This section focuses on actions anglers can take to improve fish survival after release. Participants learn about release mortality the factors that influence it and how handling techniques, gear choice, and environmental conditions can affect fish populations. Topics include baitfish identification, how fish gills function, proper ways to hold fish for photos, and much more. By following these best practices, anglers can help ensure healthy fisheries for years to come.

Module 3: Introduction to Fisheries Management The final module explains the fundamentals of fisheries management why it exists, who makes management decisions, and how those decisions are informed by science. Anglers gain insight into regulatory agencies, fisheries science tools, stock assessments, population models, and data collection.

The course also highlights ways anglers can actively contribute to fisheries research and conservation.

For Everyone Who Enjoys Florida’s Waters The Florida Friendly Angler course isn’t just for fishermen it’s valuable for anyone who enjoys or interacts with the marine

environment. From coral reefs to seagrass meadows, Florida’s unique habitats face pressure from visitors, new residents, storms, and red tides. Even small changes in behavior like anchoring responsibly, avoiding seagrass scars, or properly releasing a fish can make a big difference.

Whether you’re new to fishing or a seasoned angler with more stories than you can count, the FFA program is quick, easy, and free. Even as a lifelong angler and biologist, I picked up new insights and reminders about how my actions affect the environment and the fisheries I love.

So, give it a try—you have nothing to lose (and you’ll even get a neat sticker)!

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 2025 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.

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.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Sergio Atanes Winter Fishing Negative Tides Methods Causes of Negative Tides: Negative tides predominantly occur during the winter months, typically around the new and full moons, resulting in exceptionally low water levels—these are often indicated as minus tides on tide charts. Such tides represent instances when the low tide is significantly lower than usual. Negative tides pose challenges for boaters. On Florida’s Gulf Coast, a combination of strong northerly winds and high-pressure systems following a cold front can further drive water away from the shore, exacerbating these effects.

Lessons from negative tides: During lower, clearer winter tides, hidden features like cuts, oyster bars, rocky bottoms, and deep-water grass flats are revealed.

Advantages of negative tides: Negative tides concentrate fish in certain areas such as depressions and cuts on the flats, deep mangrove cuts and old concrete blocks anddebris used by the homeowner as their own mini reef under their boat dock. There are a few reasons why the fish concentrate here. For one, they don’t have anywhere else to go! Often, the flats where these fish hold most of the year will be dried up, only to be enjoyed by the wading birds. I’ve caught snook and redfish out of a depression on a flat that was almost completely dry.

Fishing during negative tides: When fishing negative tides, identifying the target species for the day determines where to fish. Trout can be found around potholes on flats, while redfish or snook may be located near docks. Exposed rock piles, seawalls, and rocky shorelines

absorb heat as the sun rises, increasing water temperatures by up to 3 degrees. This temperature change can be beneficial for species such as sheepshead, redfish, and trout, particularly on colder days.

Fishing the flats: Arrive at least an hour before the negative tide and position your boat within casting distance of the hole or if fishing a cut make sure you are set up to be able to move from the shallowest to deepest part of cut as the tide drops allowing you to cover more area.

Tackle: is dependent on the species, location and whether you are using live bait or artificial bait.

Live Bait: Shrimp for me is best used when fishing around docks and deep drops around edges of channels. Here is where I find the redfish, sheepshead and flounder most of the time.

Artificial Bait: I lean towards fishing shallowwaters potholes, edges of creeksfor trout most common species in winter months.

Techniques: Winter is one of the best times to fish with artificial baits.

Soft Baits: such as Saltwater Assassin on a jig head the weight depends on depth of water, wind conditions and whether you are fishing on edges of the drop or over grass beds. My go to weight 1/8-ouncecuts along the edges of the flats, ¼-ounce when fishing deep potholes like some of the bomb holes around Ft. DeSoto Park.

Specialty Jigs: like Fishin Assassin with flashing mylar tape adds a little flare and might sound like a gimmick it does work on a consistentbasis over regular jig heads in

with Captain Tim Daugherty With a prime location along the Gulf Coast, Southwest Florida offers outstanding fishing opportunities accessible through numerous Naples fishing charters and Marco Island fishing charters.

For anglers looking to get an early jump on the action, a fishing guide can arrange an early morning trip to find the most active fish. These fishing charters in the Naples area cater to all skill levels, with experienced fishing guides specializing in everything from backwater exploration to offshore deep-sea trips. Whether you’re a seasoned fly fishing enthusiast or new to the sport, fly fishing Naples offers a unique challenge, particularly when targeting the abundant snook and redfish.

Snook fishing Naples is a highlight for many anglers, with the prized species active year-round and especially aggressive during the warmer months. Marco Island tarpon fishing and Naples tarpon fishing are also major draws, especially in the spring and early summer when the “silver kings” migrate through the region’s passes and beaches.

Guided trips are the best way to tackle these powerful and

challenging fish. When it comes to redfish, anglers can find them tailing and crawling along the shallow shorelines of the Everglades, Marco Island, and Naples. Sight fishing for these tailing redfish can be exceptionally rewarding.

The backcountry estuaries connecting Naples and Marco Island, including the Ten Thousand Islands and Rookery Bay, are a playground for anglers. This diverse ecosystem provides prime snook fishing grounds as the fish congregate in the mangroves and passes. Experienced guides are masters of site fishing Naples, poling the shallows to spot cruising fish before they see you. Anglers can also experience the thrill of Marco Island red fishing in these backwaters, with a healthy population of “slot-sized” redfish providing consistent action.

For those seeking an unforgettable adventure, fishing southwest Florida fishing charters Naples provide access to these pristine and productive waters.

Beyond snook, tarpon, and redfish, the area teems with

West Central Florida clear water.

NED Jigs: are used in conjunction with small soft baits are a killerwhen fishing the shallow mangroves during a falling tide offering a quite presentation mimics small bait fish or shrimp.

Floats: are another great tool for Trout fishing in the winter especially the weighted type such as the 4-Horsemen an excellent float for windy days and the noise they produce drives trout crazy. Here is a trick I have been doing for over 30 years during the winter months. Attach a 2/0 J Hook to the swivel at the bottom of the float trout seem to hit the float as a top water plug thus hooking two at a time.

Rods, Reels, Line and Leaders: dependent on whether using live bait or artificial bait here is my breakdown on my favorites.

Rods (Blackfin): Live bait 7 ft medium action 8–20-pound class.Artificial bait 7.6 ft medium action fast taper in 8–17-pound class.

Booking a private fishing charter ensures a personalized trip tailored to your interests, with all the necessary tackle and bait provided. It’s especially important to note that the October Mullet Run is in full effect, which is bringing massive schools of baitfish along the coast and into the passes.

This yearly spectacle creates a feeding frenzy, attracting large predators like tarpon, snook, and sharks, which makes for some of the most electric and explosive fishing of the year.

Whether it’s the adrenaline of tarpon fishing or the quiet satisfaction of a successful fly fishing cast, a guided charter trip offers the best way to experience the legendary fishing of Naples and Marco Island.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Mike Schulze Tania and I made it out on Saturday morning and arrived at the dock around 6:45 AM. With a steady 10 knot east wind and 4–5-foot seas, we decided to stay inshore for the day. The east wind had pushed in a lot of weeds and turned the water a root beer color, making visibility poor. Even so, the low humidity and cool breeze made it a pleasant morning to be on the water.

We started off fishing around the Turn Basin, both of us throwing 30g jigs. After a short while, Tania began tipping her jig with a piece of shrimp, and that turned out to be the ticket.

The bites came quickly, but they were all catfish, some hardheads and a few gafftopsail. After her fourth one, we decided to make a move.

Our next stop was south of the South Causeway Bridge at the concrete pilings by the water treatment plant.

It was the top of the incoming tide, so we switched over to live shrimp on the bottom. I caught a few different snapper species, but unfortunately, all were undersized. Once the tide went slack, the bite completely shut down.

We moved over to the Smithsonian Dock next. I started hooking up again pretty quickly and managed to land a solid 20-inch snook. Tania was getting plenty of bites too, but they turned out to be

small bait thieves that cleaned her hooks before she could set the hook.

Targeting snook along structures using live bait, great way to get drag screaming. DOA 5” jerk bait worked near docks and mangrove edges gets the linesiders chewing as well. As baits schools trickle into back bays and canals snook will follow and ambush the schools creating great surface strikes.

Tarpon action in bays and channels, get anglers bowing to the king. Live mullet freelined with tide creates strikes along with live pilchards drifting with tide. Tarpon like the incoming tide the and last of outgoing tide.

Bottom fishing has been best bet when tides are to high. Rock piles and wrecks produce a plethora of species for anglers. Great for kid amas those looking for consistent rod bending action.

The Palm beaches in November can moderate and cool temperatures.

Cooler temperatures cool down water temperatures and predator fish begin to push into back bays, canals and coves.

Snook fishing in Jupiter and Palm Beach, will provide anglers steady

Treasure Coast believing, and keep chasing those dreams on the water.

When the tide switched to outgoing, the conditions were perfect for a drift at Thumb Point. The east wind and falling tide lined up nicely, so we set up to drift for trout. There were tons of finger mullet everywhere, but surprisingly, nothing was biting. We tried another nearby spot and caught a few small snapper, but again, nothing worth keeping.

We made another move, this time to a spot south of the Harbor Isle condos. The pattern continued— plenty of short snapper but nothing to brag about. That changed when I hooked into something that put up a great fight—a 33-inch bonnethead shark. Not what we were after, but it was a fun surprise and a great fight on light tackle.

Around 10 AM, we pulled up anchor and started drifting back toward the South Causeway Bridge. Unfortunately, this drift only produced more catfish for Tania, though she did finally manage to land a small lane snapper before we wrapped up our morning.

Tania and I send our best wishes to all our fellow anglers. May your time on the water be safe, blessed, and filled with tight lines and good memories. Until next time, keep casting, keep

with Captain Craig Korczynski October brought huge tides, flooding, wind and rain. Challenging at times but persistence is rewarded to anglers. Hopefully normal conditions will prevail soon.

action along seawalls, mangroves shorelines and channel edges. Sight fishing on the flats is another option for those who enjoy watching the bite. A DOA C.A.L. 3” shad or DOA 3 “ shrimp presented in the right spot gets the drag screaming.

Tarpon migrate into back bays and canals offering excellent fishing for the silver king. Tarpon are prevalent inside the Icw, mangrove shorelines, docks and deep passes. Live shrimp drifted with the tide is the best bait, other baits like mullet, pinfish and greenies work as well. Artificial enthusiast, the deeper passes offer plenty of shots on DOA bait busters or DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail. Tarpon this time of year range from 10 to 60 pounds.

November offers great action for big jack cravelle on the ICW water ways.

Jacks will pounce on Rapala skitter walks or live bait in the vicinity of seawalls, docks or open water flats.

The jacks are schooling fish averaging 5 to 25 pounds. Battling jacks on light tackle or fly is something an angler will never forget, come experience the tussle yourself.

Well that is the fishing report for the Palm Beach, Jupiter area.

I hope you all enjoyed, so get out there and get hooked up.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

BoatUS Foundation Launches 2 New Safety Microcourses: Aids to Navigation Basics and Nighttime Boating Basics Quick, free courses equip boaters with key safety and navigation skills

S

PRINGFIELD, Va., Oct. 14, 2025 – The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water has launched two new boating safety microcourses to help boaters focus on issues important to safe navigation. Aids to Navigation Basics and Nighttime Boating Basics are the latest in a series of short microcourse offerings that help fit into any boater’s busy schedule. These courses are available at BoatUS.org/courses and are free to the public.

Aids to Navigation Basics is designed to help boaters understand the meaning of basic buoys and markers.

The course also reinforces the importance of maintaining a proper lookout and consulting an up-to-date chart to navigate safely.

Nighttime Boating Basics addresses a common issue for recreational boat operators – operating after dark when navigation can be more challenging. The course teaches boaters how to prepare for evening outings, comply with boating regulations for reduced visibility, and recognize the proper use of navigation lights on recreational vessels.

Keep Me TangleFree!

“Annual U.S. Coast Guard statistics have shown that understanding AToNs and the challenges of nighttime boating are perennial issues for boat operators,” said Ted Sensenbrenner, Director of Boating Safety at BoatUS Foundation. “We’re excited to bridge the gap to help address operator inattention and improper lookout, which are some of the leading causes of boating accidents.”

by the U.S. Coast Guard to benefit national public boating safety. While the new courses do not meet any state education requirements, they provide additional in-depth learning opportunities that complement the information in the BoatUS Foundation’s NASBLAapproved free online boating safety course, which satisfies boating safety education requirements in 37 states.

To sign up for the new free micro courses or view BoatUS Foundation’s suite of online courses, please visit, BoatUS.org/Courses.

About the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water: The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water is a national leader promoting safe, clean and responsible boating. Funded primarily by donations from the more than 740,000 members of Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), the nonprofit provides innovative educational outreach directly to boaters and anglers with the aim of reducing accidents and fatalities, increasing stewardship of America’s waterways, and keeping boating safe for all. A range of safe and clean boating courses – including the nation’s only free online boating safety course – can be found at BoatUS.org/Courses.

The interactive courses, which each can be completed in less than 30 minutes, include engaging video quizzes, simulations, and modules that help enrollees learn navigational basics. Following course completion, boaters will be equipped with essential tools to navigate waterways confidently and responsibly.

The courses were produced under a grant from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund administered
