West Coast Cover: Boater’s Landing We have the boating expertise to help you enjoy your boat to its fullest. As a New Boat Dealer in 1988, Boater’s Landing started with a boat line from its founders own name sake - the Four Winns Boat company. As the founder of Boater’s Landing - Bill Winn Jr. was also one of the original Four Winns that started the Four Winns Boat Company. With the Winn family as owners and managers of Boater’s Landing we are proud of the boats still built up in Cadillac Michigan.

Four Winns offers a great selection of high quality Horizon Bow Riders, Horizon Deck Boats, and Vista Express Cruisers. In 2000 Boater’s Landing added a great Salt Water fishing boat brand to its fleet – Key West Fishing boats. For 2020 the Key West fishing boat line offers 14 different fully foamed models to choose from, you wouldn’t expect the pricing of these fully foamed fishing boats to be so much less than the premiumpriced boat brands with the same building standards. Check out the full line of Key West Bay Boats, Center Consoles, and Dual Consoles at Boater’s Landing. In

The most recent addition to the Boater’s Landing line up in 2019, also featuring Yamaha Outboards and Mercury Outboards are the Wellcraft Fishing Boats. Built alongside the Four Winns deck boats in the Cadillac factory we’re proud to have them join our family here in Fort Myers.

ancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico - The first annual Cancun International Boat Show and Marine Expo will be a marquee event set for July 16 – 18, 2021.

Cancun is a world-renowned yachting destination and playground to many of the wealthiest people of Mexico and the world. Additionally, tourism makes the State of Quintana Roo the world’s leader in water-sport related activities. The amount of boat tours, ferries, dive boats, fishing charters, PWCs, water toys and accessories are unparalleled. As Mexico’s strongest boating market, Cancun is the ideal place to host an international boat show.

Mexico is the United States’ second largest recreational marine export market with incredible opportunity for expansion. The Cancun International Boat Show and Marine Expo has been created to continue growth in this nationwide market and expand demand into Central America and the Caribbean through greater product availability and greater appeal to families. Face-to-face

The high-profile show will feature seven areas of fun and entertainment: • Main Exhibit Area (boats, engines, electronics, diving, fishing) • Covered Exhibit Area (media, travel) • Lower Corridor (smaller exhibits) • In-Water Boat Exhibits for Sea Trials • Water Taxi and Yacht Tender Dock • Fun-zone Demo Area • Luxury Yachts in Marina Basin This will be Mexico’s largest marine event, promoted stronger than any boating event before. For sponsorship opportunities and exhibiting information, kindly visit cancunintlboatshow.com Tickets are complimentary for a limited time at cancunintlboatshow.com/tickets/ About The Cancun International Boat Show and Marine Expo The Cancun International Boat Show was created to increase product selection and availability in Mexico and neighboring countries. We have decided that the best way to solve this problem is to unite the industry with its audience. This action will lead to continued growth in Mexico’s marine recreational market and greater appeal to families entering the sport.

Cancun allows us the infrastructure to continue the event year after year.

Sea Ray® Introduces the Brand-New Sundancer® 370 Outboard – An Icon Reinvented Sea Ray Celebrates the 45th Anniversary of the Sundancer Series with the first model release embracing new design language

K

NOXVILLE, Tenn. (February 18, 2021) — Sea Ray is celebrating the 45th anniversary of the Sundancer Series with a brand-new model that is the embodiment of elegance, athleticism and sophistication. A fusion of performance and beauty, the Sundancer 370 Outboard is leading the evolution of the Sundancer line while setting a new standard in luxury sport cruisers.

“Sea Ray’s Sundancer family of boats was launched with the Sundancer 240,” said Steve Langlais, Sea Ray president. “A modern take on an American classic, the Sundancer 370 Outboard is spearheading the next generation of this iconic series that’s been an integral part of the Sea Ray portfolio for 45 years. The Sundancer 370 Outboard advances the Sundancer line with enhancements that are both pure and bold. Simple, sophisticated lines create a form and proportion that’s not overdesigned or overstated. Surfaces flow from crisp lines to smooth transitions seamlessly creating an integrated feel while technology and interaction provide a sense of the future.”

The launch of the all-new Sundancer 370 Outboard marks a significant milestone in Sea Ray’s history, representing not only the relaunch of the Sundancer family, but the reinvention of Sea Ray through revolutionary inspired design.

The Sundancer 370 Outboard blends the values of a cruiser, bowrider and coupe while showcasing the new Sea Ray design language, complete with signature design elements. “The boat’s S-sheer line establishes an elongated profile, the Center Crease produces speed while reducing mass, the Jaw Line gives presence power and direction, and the Integrated Emblem elegantly anchors the Sea

Ray brand to the design,” said Charlie Foss, Sea Ray design director.

Conversation with family members and friends flows naturally in multiple spaces throughout the Sundancer 370 Outboard, expertly crafted for comfort. The U-shaped cockpit is ideal for hosting dinner parties and cocktail hours with a wet bar, flameless Kenyon® grill, optional refrigerator and optional teak tables. With seating for up to five adults, the bow transforms with an optional filler cushion from a table to a spacious sun lounge.

The three-position convertible transom seat easily transitions from a hard-back surface when underway to an aft-facing seat or sunpad when at rest.

Every inch of the Sundancer 370 Outboard is thoughtfully designed to maximize space and function. Storage is optimized with 66 cubic feet of space, including the custom transom Stow and Go Fender Storage, to safely stow fenders, lines and accessories. The port-side walkthrough makes accessing the bow, as well as moving from one social area to another, effortless. The optional electrically actuated opening glass hardtop with black panoramic sunroof and extended sunshade options handle harsh UV rays while letting in plenty of cool breezes.

Below deck, the Sundancer 370 Outboard features chic yet friendly design elements carefully considered to emphasize spaciousness. Indoor areas are accented with colors and materials perfectly paired to add style, depth and interest.

“We sought to create an interior cabin space in the Sundancer 370 Outboard that’s a bright, warm and modern home away from home,” said Paul

Olvera, Sea Ray industrial designer. “We wanted people aboard to feel welcome to sit and relax with a sense of sophistication as they’re surrounded by rich textures inspired by nature that aren’t loud or overbearing. Calmness and confidence were key; nothing is cold or too bright and loud, and neither is anything too dark or moody. The tones are especially catered to their respective areas so that everything is ‘just right.’”

Perfect for day trips or weekend stays, the stylish cabin is luxuriously appointed with inviting comforts for an oasis-like retreat on the water.

Hull-side windows and a skylight welcome in natural light, the spacious head is equipped with a separate shower and spa-like finishes, and the forward V-berth lounge area with a plush L-shaped couch and smart TV offers a cozy spot to host a movie night. The cabin gourmet galley has an optional microwave, a refrigerator, solid-surface countertops, a trash receptacle and cabinetry with lower storage to help prepare drinks, snacks and meals.

The Economist on the Tesla of the Seas: “A new generation of electric motorboats take to the water” I n this week’s Science & Technology section, The Economist covers the revolutionary electric speedboat Candela Seven and it’s cutting-edge foiling technology.

This is probably the first time a leisure boat manufacturer is featured in The Economist, one of the world’s most prestigious business magazines. But then again, Candela Seven is no ordinary boat. It is the first electric boat with enough range and speed to compete with fossil fuel powerboats on equal terms - but also offers benefits not seen before in maritime history.

While conventional fast electric boats have been hampered by their inefficient hulls and correspondingly short range, Candela, a Swedish company, is taking a new approach.

It’s first model, the 25 foot Seven, flies like a fighter jet above the waves on highperformance, computer-controlled wings called hydrofoils. The design uses 80 percent less energy at 20-plus knots compared to fossil fuel powered speedboats. This translates into three times greater range than conventional electric boats, “which should help reassure any

12

skippers with range anxiety”, as The Economist outs it.

But there are more advantages to Candela’s foiling technology. The boat’s built-in digital flight controller adjusts the foils up to 100 times per second, accounting for every environmental factor, including waves, wind, and even passengers moving around the boat.

The ride in rough choppy water is thus as silky as on a lake at sunrise with glass-smooth water.

When cruising in shallow water, the foils can be retracted into the hull.

With a top speed of 30 knots, that can be sustained even in 4 foot chop without slamming, the Candela Seven is the perfect zero-emission boat for outings or watersports.

The lack of wake makes it especially ideal for slalom waterskiing. And, last but not least, its efficient foils and electric motor makes it 95 percent cheaper to run than traditional gasguzzling motorboats.

The Seven is our best effort to make the first no-compromise boat. It’s zero-emission, but also insanely fun to drive. Flying just a

THE Florida MARINER #927 / 28 February 2021

foot above the waves without slamming is just unreal. You can go fast and far on pure electric power. And your passengers won’t get seasick, says Mikael Mahlberg, Candela’s communications officer.

The customers seem to agree. Having sold 30 boats and manufactured 20 of them in just over a year, the Swedish company is now the bestselling electric boat builder in Europe. The next step is to ramp up the serial production in it’s Stockholm factory.

About Candela Seven • Length 7,7 m • Beam 2,4 m • Weight 1350 kg • Max load 6 persons • Hull material 100% carbon fiber • Battery 40 kWh lithium-ion • Motor 66 kW for take-off • Top speed 30 knots • Cruising speed 20 knots • Range 50 nautical miles (2,5 hours) at 20 knots

Wyland Foundation Supporting Surfing’s First Olympic Games and Clean Oceans

S

urfers have a unique connection to the ocean and its marine life. Sharing waves with dolphin and looking down on beautiful coral teeming with life is part of what keeps surfers coming back to the ocean for more. It’s what makes surfers some of the world’s strongest ambassadors for clean, healthy oceans and marine life.

That’s why USA Surfing joined forces with ocean conservation artist Wyland to mark six months out from surfing’s Olympic debut in Tokyo, Japan. Wyland painted two T.Patterson surfboards commemorating surfing’s first Olympic Games, using a new twist on an ancient Japanese method of creating marine life prints. The surfboards will be auctioned off to raise money for USA Surfing.

Wyland’s art and the work of his nonprofit foundation celebrate clean oceans and healthy marine life, and have been the centerpiece of several Olympic Games.

His role as Olympic artist has given him a front row seat to some epic Olympic performances, including seven Michael Phelps’ gold medals, and Serena and Venus Williams gold medal doubles match.

Four-time world champion and Team USA Olympic surfer Carissa Moore met up with Wyland on the North Shore to talk about the meaning behind art that honors the Olympic host country Japan and promotes healthy oceans and marine life.

“Being a surfer and having the ocean as my workplace and my playground, I definitely feel a responsibility to take care of the ocean the best that I can,” Carissa said.

Carissa has hosted several beach clean ups to rid her local surf breaks of plastic pollution and is a Surfrider ambassador.

“I want my children and the generations after to be able to walk the same beaches, surf the same reefs and enjoy the same wildlife and ocean ecosystems that have made a difference in my life,” Carissa said.

Wyland painted the commemorative USA

THE Florida MARINER #927 / 28 February 2021

Surfing boards at his North Shore studio just steps away from some of Hawaii’s most popular surf breaks. As the birthplace of surfing, Hawaii is proud to have two surfers — Carissa Moore and John John Florence, on the nation’s first Olympic surf team.

“It’s a great honor to be the official artist for the U.S. Olympic team,” Wyland said. “What I try to do is just support our athletes and raise awareness about protecting our oceans. To have surfing in the Olympics now! Man! That’s one of my favorite sports.”

Surfing’s Olympic debut will take place at Tsurigasaki Beach in Chiba — about 40 minutes outside Tokyo.

Carissa is a huge fan of Japan and Japanese culture and food. She took several years of Japanese in middle and high school and spent time touring Tokyo in 2019 before surfing in the Miyazaki ISA World Surfing Games.

“I loved learning about Japanese culture and the language,” Carissa said. “I’m looking forward to immersing myself again with the people, eating good food, and hopefully putting my Japanese to the test.”

To honor the host country, Wyland painted the boards using a technique inspired by Gyotaku — a 19th century Japanese method of illustrating marine life by pressing ink-soaked fish onto rice paper.

“I’m an animal lover, so I went about it a little differently,” laughed Wyland. “I took a conservationist approach leaving the animals in the ocean and bringing them to life on the board.”

Wyland said surfboards provide an excellent canvas, with lines and curves that collectors treasure. Before auctioning off the boards, USA Surfing will feature the boards and their ocean conservation message through events and social media.

“We know there will be a lot of interest in

scoring these Wyland originals, celebrating surfing’s first Olympic Games,” said USA Surfing COO Andrea Swayne. “Their beauty, conservation message and place in Olympic history make them really special pieces.”

As the largest sporting stage in the world, the Olympics provide an unparalleled platform for Wyland’s art and message. Just as the Olympics unites all nations in a love for sport, he says we are all connected by the world’s oceans.

“Water connects all 7 billion people on Earth,” Wyland said. “Every drop of water on the planet is connected. Surfers experience this every day and appreciate the imperative to conserve and protect our beautiful oceans and marine life for future generations” Wyland completed his 100th Whaling Wall at the Beijing Olympic Games, engaging children from the 200-plus countries represented in the Olympics to paint a nearly mile-long mural featuring endangered species.

The Beijing Olympic Whaling Wall remains one of the largest public arts projects in history.

The Washington, D.C. national mall mural was viewed by 400,000 people during a two week exhibition.

To honor the host country, Wyland painted the surf boards using a technique inspired by Japanese ink art. He named the dolphin illustrated on the board “higher, faster, stronger” — directions he expects Team USA surfers to go when they compete in the sport’s first Olympic Games.

To learn more about how to bid on Wyland’s commemorative surfboards marking the sport’s first Olympic Games, follow USA Surfing’s channels. The art will also be featured on tshirts and other merchandise with proceeds going to the Wyland Foundation and USA Surfing.

USA surfing followed Wyland’s artistic process and interviewed him about what the Olympics mean to him and the oceans and marine life at the core of his art and career. Behind-thescene videos and social media posts chronicling the creation of these commemorative works of art will be posted leading up to this summer’s Olympic Games. wylandfoundation.org

DiscoverBoating Boat Handling: 5 Ways to Improve Your Boating Skills

www.TheMariner.com

W

aterways are filled with friendly boaters, just think of how many times someone has waved as you passed by. As much as there’s shared appreciation of this fantastic boating lifestyle, there’s a greater appreciation for boating properly and safely.

Whether it’s the middle of summer or the coolest part of winter—and even when its too cold to hit the water in some parts of the country—any time is an ideal time to practice and improve your boat handling skills. Knowledge is power, after all.

Follow these five boat handling tips to ensure a tip of the hat comes with those friendly waves when you launch this spring.

1. Enroll in Boating Safety & Training Courses Most states require boat owners and operators have some type of formal educational training or even a boating license. If you haven’t already, sign up for instruction, provided by the U.S. Coast Guard and other top-notch organizations you’ll find listed on our Boat Safety Courses, Education & Training page: https://www. discoverboating.com/education-training. Some courses are online, while others are in person.

If you want to get started right away, you can also study some of our step-by-step boat handling guides right here on Discover Boating.

We cover all the basics: • Towing and trailering your boat to the ramp; • Launching your boat; • Driving your boat; • Anchoring; • Docking; • And even loading your boat back on its trailer.

2. Practice Your Navigation Skills If there’s a secluded beach you’ve been dying to anchor off of, map out your route now. This way, you’ll be even more confident when you cast off the lines.

Check your nautical charts, or a marine navigation app, for water depths, submerged obstacles, or other potential difficulties along the way, too.

3. Double Check Your Onboard Equipment Start with life jackets. Now’s the time to ensure buckles and seams are intact, and that the flotation devices don’t have holes, either.

4. Learn Your Boating Knots Tying oneself up in knots is a good thing in this case. Can you tell a cleat hitch from a clove hitch? Take some time to get familiar with all the basic boating knots—check out our step-by-step instructions here: https://www.discoverboating. com/resources/boating-knots Then, keep some spare line by the TV or your favorite chair to ensure you keep practicing.

5. Ask for Advice Last but not least, ask for specific help to improve your boat-handling skills—and do it well before spring launch. Is there a fellow slip holder at your marina who always seems to know what to do? Or maybe your friend or family members who’s been boating for years, could show you the ropes? How about the dealer who sold you your boat—has he or she encouraged you to reach out with questions? Take advantage of these knowledgeable people now, to become one of them yourself.

Also ensure that your kids haven’t outgrown the life jackets they used last summer as well—we have a whole guide to help you, see Life Jackets, Vests & PFDs: How to Choose the Right Fit: https://www.discoverboating.com/ownership/ safety/life-jackets

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.” DiscoverBoating.com is your source for complete boating instructions and resources! www.DiscoverBoating.com

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK MIGHT BE YOUR BEST NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION - 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 2021 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.

CLEARWATER COAST GUARD AUXILIARY TEACHING BOATING SAFETY CLASSES ONLINE - 2021 - A New Way to Learn … A New Crop of Safe Boaters. With the advent of COVID-19, the Coast Guard Auxiliary was advised to discontinue in-person classes for the safety of the instructors and students. The good news is that the State of Florida (FWC) and the National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) have approved the Coast Guard Auxiliary to conduct online classes. These classes are not your standard webinar sessions where the students sit at their computers and are lectured at. And they’re not animated cartoon sessions where you have to keep pressing enter to get to the next topic.

The Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary is offering outstanding “Boat America” course via two options: • running the classes over four weekend mornings, from 9am to about 11:30am on each day - Saturday, Sunday and Saturday, Sunday.

• running the classes over four consecutive evenings from 7pm to about 9:30pm Here's the first quarter 2021 class schedule: • February 23 - 26 from 7:00pm to 9:30pm.

Sign up deadline: February 13th •March 13, 14 and 20 and 21 from 9:00am to 11:30am. Sign up deadline: March 6th Classes are $40 per student and include the books, supplemental materials and course completion certificates. The classes being offered by the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary are conducted on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. In addition, because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! The boating safety class is also a requirement for many boaters in Florida. In the Sunshine State, anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988, must successfully complete a boater safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to operate any boat powered by more than 10 horsepower, and they are required to carry their boater education card with them when out on the water along with picture ID. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www. clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr. auxboating@gmail.com or call 727-469-8895.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Ray Markham Some crazy weather continued this week with temperatures in the 80’s to begin the week followed by strong thunderstorms, high winds, and temps falling into the 50’s.

Welcome to a Florida winter. Fear not, as spring is right around the corner.

OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE Nice days with picture perfect weather windows made it easy for offshore anglers to head out to their favorite spots this past weekend for some snapper, red grouper, hogfish, grunts, and many other species.

While some of the best opportunities to catch fish are during these periods of nice weather, taking time off when they conflict with work and other duties can make for bad scenarios. We live in an area where it seems the weather can change in the bat of an eye, so it might be wise to just wait for those weather windows to open and take advantage of them when you can.

Good action with red grouper has been noted by anglers hitting depths ranging in the 80-to 120-foot range west of Bradenton. Many of the best producing areas for red grouper are on bottom dubbed as Swiss cheese bottom, named for their pocked holes in limestone.

They may not show on a recorder as big ledges or structure with a lot of relief, but reading your bottom machine to show how hard the bottom is might be the easiest way to find good productive bottom for red grouper. Areas beyond 120-feet through the month of March are closed for grouper.

Hogfish remain a good prospect for anglers looking to catch these delicious fish. Live shrimp will get the job done, but in the event your bait dies on the way out, hogs will still eat the dead bait as long as it’s kept fresh. By fresh, I mean it still has the

same color it did when it was alive. Bait that died and sat in a bucket all day begins to turn color, and if it’s been dead too long it will take on a pink color that hogfish don’t find appealing. So, fresh is always better and live is best. Some anglers have found that blanched sand fleas also work well.

On some of the nice days with the horizon called, anglers found blackfin tuna, dolphin, wahoo, and other species out beyond 180feet of water. Pick your days and be safe.

INSHORE Trout fishing has continued getting better with larger fish each week. This is typical of this time of year. My biggest trout have nearly always been caught in March and April. Continued catch and release of these fish using barbless or circle hooks will help reduce release mortality. Look for areas with potholes and grass patches on the flats. In cooler temperatures, fish areas that are a little deeper, such as channel edges that are adjacent to shallow dark mud flats.

Trout have been closed for some time now, and the closure continues through May for snook, trout, and redfish from the Pasco/ Hernando county line south to Gordon Pass in Collier County.

Redfish have been caught by a lot of folks this week, but schools of fish have been few and far between in most areas. Upper Tampa Bay has been holding some fish around Riviera Bay on the Pinellas side, and along the South Shore near Piney Point. Several areas along the west side of Sarasota Bay have produced catches of some nice reds. Gold spoons, soft plastics resembling crabs or shrimp, and small baitfish have been luring reds to strike. Fishing docklines with live shrimp will produce redfish, snook, sheepshead, and even

with Captain Dylan Hubbard INSHORE- Weather this past week has been a little rough and chilly for most of the week. This created a difficult fishing time, but there are still some nice catches especially before the front came through over the weekend. We were on the full moon and the water was moving around getting those fish eating well until Sunday when the weather and full moon combined to slow the bite down a bit. Once the weather moved in Sunday night the fishing was tough through Wednesday.

However, this coming week it looks like we get a great weather window showing up for a few days during the work week that should provide some stellar fishing opportunities we are looking forward to!

Trout action remains steady through the area despite the weather and murky conditions. We are saw some great action around the local flats, docks, jetties, mangrove islands and virtually anywhere these trout could set up and ambush the passing bait being swept by the tides. The trout love the love shrimp or greenbacks free lined on super light tackle. However, many have luck using the soft plastics for trout too and the paddle tail on a super light jig head or an artificial shrimp seem to be the favorites lately for trout. We are still seeing them at night around the bridge and dock lights too. This is a great time of year for super light tackle trout fun, but remember they are catch and release only in most of our area so make sure to handle with care and get them back in the water quickly. They are super delicate fish and it is important to wet your hands before handling and try to avoid handling them with any rags or anything besides a bare wet hand to avoid removing their slime coating. That slime coating is what protects the trout and keeps them healthy.

Redfish action was great before the front early this past weekend as well, and we saw a few caught yesterday behind the front as well. These guys were loving the live shrimp, cut bait and even some small live pinfish around the docks of the pass. They are around the flats, oyster bars and mangrove islands as well. The redfish seem steady right now and in good concentrations around the area.

Sheepshead action seems unphased

26

by weather they are even a bit easier to catch when the water gets stirred up as it gets harder for them to see your tackle. They are a fairly leader shy fish that will really get picky from time to time, but behind a front in that sand color water they seem to be more aggressive and less picky. Fiddler crabs or other small crabs still seem to be the hot bait, but you can get em to take shrimp or cut clams & oysters too.

Some use barnacles with great success but I prefer the other options listed myself. Remember they have very small strong mouths, so a small strong hook is necessary with around 15-20lb floro leader and little to no weight. Just enough weight to get that bait in their strike zone next to the structures.

Snook action is best back up in the bay around the mouths of the local creeks, rivers, and bayous.

Also, around those residential dock lines near these areas or even closer to the outer bay too. Look for those docks closer to the front of the canal where water is moving right to bring those fish bait from adjacent flats, bridges, or other areas that accumulate the baitfish or shrimp. The snook will just hang around those docks to get warm in the early to late afternoon letting the baits come to them while using the dock for protection and warmth.

They get super lazy when the water is cooler, so you have to remember to get your baits to them while presenting it naturally and if using artificial working it extremely slowly. Around the passes were still seeing the occasional snook along the bottom taking cut bait and live shrimp while targeting the red fish around the docks.

Black drum action is hit and miss but when they are around you can catch them consistently. They love the local docks, bridges, jetties and sometimes you can find some schooling along the beaches around the surf. These guys are looking for primarily crustaceans like shrimp or crabs and they feed right on the bottom. If you target a dock line a live shrimp on the bottom could get you a redfish, snook, trout, sheepshead or even a black drum right now!

NEAR SHORE & OFFSHOREWeather has severely interrupted our ability to get near shore and offshore this past week

THE Florida MARINER #927 / 28 February 2021

www.TheMariner.com

West Central Florida Southwest Coast trout. At night, dock lights can be excellent areas for all of these species. Live shrimp freelined work very well, but fly fishers can also take advantage of a good bite for these fish using shrimp or glass minnow patterns.

It won’t be long before snook get in the spawning mode. The string of recent warm days has sent good numbers of snook out on the flats to forage for food. Jigs resembling a baitfish such as the CAL Shad or MirrOlure Marsh Minnow have been producing some good action. When water temperatures climb back up into the 70’s you can expect these fish to get very aggressive, chasing topwater lures like a Zara Spook, MirrOlure Top Dog, or Rapala Skitter V. FRESHWATER It’s hard not to want to get on the water when the weather has been as nice as we’ve had this week. The warm days with lighter winds when the sun is up makes sight fishing spawning beds for bass easy. Almost any lake or pond with bass is showing these spawning potholes around the perimeter of lakes. Some may not be bass beds, but tilapia beds. Creature baits that appear to invade a bed to eat a bass’ eggs will get hammered instantly. Flipping this time of year can be deadly on big bass. Large soft plastic worms in black, purple, and green pumpkin all seem to work well. Bluegill beds might also be in our area. I love fishing small popping bugs on a 5 wt. fly rod for these fish. They may not be huge fish, but they sure fight like it. Get out and give it a try! ‘Til then…I’ll catch ya later!

West Central Florida Captain Ray Markham 941-723-2655 or 941-228-3474 (cell) Flat Back II out of Terra Ceia Ray.Markham@gmail.com www.CaptainRayMarkham.com

West Central Florida unfortunately. We sat at the dock for most of the week due to weather and then once we could make it out there the sand completely closed our channel and one of our boats took some severe damage to its props. However, we are blessed to get it back up and running quickly and were looking forward to next week as we see a great weather window coming Monday into Friday where we should have some stellar fishing especially around TuesdayThursday. We have a mid-week 39 hour with tons of room and ten hour all days Tuesday and Thursday plus the Wednesday 12 hour extreme and they should all have great opportunities for plenty of fish.

Hogfish action was great prior to this last front through the early part of this past weekend.

However, the Sunday all day prior to the front struggled due in part to the front bearing down but also the pressure ridge that formed ahead of the front coupled with the intense full moon that was just finishing up. The backside of a full moon directly following the peak can sometimes make daytime fishing tough and that with the front action really made the Sunday fishing slow for us unfortunately.

Then we were down for a few days and luckily it calmed down nicely yesterday, and the hogfish were hungry for some live shrimp when we got back out to them. The ten hour all day yesterday caught almost twenty nice keeper hogfish. They continue to bite best around 30-70ft with around 40-60ft being the hot zone. The live shrimp and lighter tackle is the way to go and we just made a new fishing tips and tricks video to show you some hogfish tips and tricks and the tackle and techniques we use to catch them best. Here’s the link to our fishing tips and tricks page and that NEW hogfish video is the fourth one down if you’re on mobile and second row middle if your on a computer called ‘how to catch a hogfish and what rig to use’ -> https://www. hubbardsmarina.com/fishing-tips/

Swordfishing in Miami Has Been On Fire!

The daytime swordfishing in Miami has been on fire. We have been lucky enough to get out quite a few times and have scored on every trip.

The awesome thing about daytime swordfishing is you never know what size your next fish will be.

There was a whopping 767 pound fish caught recently in South Florida and it was caught with a crew of all young anglers less than 21 years old each. Your next swordfish might be that big or bigger or may only be 50 pounds. Odds are its going to be somewhere in between, but regardless, catching any swordfish is a great accomplishment. The swordfish we have been catching have ranged from a 357 pound fish we caught a month or so ago to a little 30 pounder we caught and released last week. That little one wasn’t even hooked but was lassoed by the tail, so he really h a d us tricked thinking it was a much bigger fish. It’s always harder to bring in a fish tail first instead of by the head.

On that trip we had Keith from NJ who has

fished with me quite a bit in the past. He booked two days of swordfishing to basically learn how to do it so he can adopt what he learned here up in NJ this coming summer.

We caught swordfish on both days and I’m sure he learned a few tricks from those trips. The swordfishing should remain very good well into spring and February and March can be stellar months.

On the edge the fishing has slowed down in the past two weeks, but our last trip this weekend we saw signs that it is getting good again. We hooked a single sailfish, and after a few minutes we had 3 more sailfish on our baits. We hooked a quad (4 at once) and ended up catching 3 out of the 4. When you see sailfish move in packs that means they are pushing south, and the action is only going to get better.

Besides sailfish, we are finally starting to catch some mahis while kite fishing. Usually we catch mahis year round but doing different techniques.

In the summer we are fishing

with Captain David Ide The Lady Pamela Sportfishing Team is heading into March by keeping anglers on the fantastic late Winter bite! Our clients are enjoying the most exciting offshore action in all of Southeast Florida: Wahoo, Sailfish, Kingfish, Blackfin Tuna, Barracuda, Amberjacks, Groupers, Snapper and Sharks!

We remain open for business and the entire Lady Pamela Sportfishing Team is in full compliance with all CDC and local health guidelines to do our part to keep everyone healthy.

NOW is the time to book your winter/early spring fishing trip in lovely – and warm – South Florida!

Our February, March and April trips are booking up as people look to escape the snow, ice and frozen windmills but also because the State of Florida is one of the few “open” states in the midst of the pandemic.

Keep Lady Pamela Sportfishing in mind as you plan your Spring Break travel!

SPORTFISHING REPORT: WAHOO ON THE PROWL! The Wahoo bite continues to be off-the-charts! These striped torpedoes have been so plentiful and big that we’re having to service our drags nearly every day!

These fish can turn your reel into molten lava if you’re not careful.

The Late Winter Wahoo bite continues to be epic and our clients are taking full advantage! These toothy, striped torpedoes have been so plentiful and big that our top-notch tackle can barely keep up! These fish can turn your reel into molten lava if you’re not careful.

Fortunately, our Lady Pamela Sportfishing crews are well-versed with all things Wahoo and stay in control.

Nobody can put you on this bite like Lady Pamela Sportfishing!

Wahoos have been crushing slow-trolled live “bullet” Bonitos anywhere from 150 to 400 feet of water, along the clean water edges. The Wahoos have also responded well to our strip baits trolled below the surface on planers and Islanders rigged with horse ballyhoo in both the blue/white and red/black color combinations.

EPIC SHARK FISHING! GREAT WHITE SHARK CAUGHT AND RELEASED! Our clients caught and released a mammoth, monstrous and legendary Great White Shark! These fearsome

predators have captured our collective imaginations since Peter Benchley’s Jaws hit the shelves and became the first true Summer Blockbuster Movie in history.

We were fishing in approximately 400 feet of water offshore with live and dead Bonitos when the Great White pounced. Our clients – and crew – fought this big girl for more than an hour and a half but they prevailed.

We then released her at boatside as Great Whites are protected species.

We estimated the Great White to be 15 feet in length and in excess of 1,300 pounds! This was a rare catch indeed but you never know what can eat our meticulously-rigged baits off of South Florida.

A RARE MAKO CATCH - Our clients caught a rare catch and Makos are some of the most acrobatic Sharks to prowl our deep, offshore waters!

CATCH A TIGER (SHARK) BY THE TAIL - There are other apex Sharks prowling our waters, too. We’ve also been catching fearsome Tiger Sharks too on our dedicated Private and Shared Charter Trips. Give us a call for more details on our Shark Fishing adventures.

BULLISH - Considered by many to be one of the meanest Sharks in the sea, Bull Sharks are nasty and have attitude. We’re also catching huge Bull Sharks on our Shark Fishing trips and they are giving our clients a run for their money! Shark Fishing off of South Florida is world-class and needs only one thing to get even better: YOU! Let us put you on the Shark catch of a lifetime.

And, no, we won’t need a bigger boat.

SAILFISH FRENZY: GO FLY A KITE - Recent cold fronts (cold for us down here) have brought windy conditions, which are perfect for Sailfishing. The Sailfish are frisky and up on the reefs showering up schools of Ballyhoo. Our clients have been putting up big numbers of Sailfish catches and releases as our Fleet focuses almost exclusively on fishing live baits underneath our fishing kites.

We really love to show our clients the art of Kite fishing. Kite fishing is a truly amazing and engaging experience as you get to see the Sailfish AS THEY EAT the bait. Nothing gets the blood pumping like watching a double- or triple-header Sailfish bite up on the surface.

We can fish up to three (3) live baits per kite, with at least two (2) kites up at any one time.

We’re fishing between 60 and 250 feet of

www.TheMariner.com

Southeast Coast for mahis way out in the Gulfstream either by trolling or pitching live baits to fish on the surface. The rest of the year we usually catch mahis with live baits off of kites while we are sailfishing.

This October through January the mahis on the edge while kitefishing was rather slow, but the last few trips we are staring to catch them again.

We are now in February and pretty soon it will be spring. February and march are starting to fill up, but we still have plenty of openings, so whether it’s a swordfish you want to knock off your bucket list or a sailfish as well as an assortment of other species while kite fishing, give us a call and let’s set it up. I have an online calendar on my website that you can book a trip directly and securely. Book now and let’s go fishing!

Marathon/Florida Keys Southeast Coast water.

When there is not enough wind to keep the kites in the air, we can also slow troll live baits such as Ballyhoo and Goggle Eyes as well as troll our specially-crafted mullet strips. When we’re trolling live Ballyhoo, the occasional White Marlin shows up in the spread, just to make life REALLY interesting.

DENTAL DENIZENS: KING MACKEREL AND BARRACUDAS - King Mackerel (‘Kingfish”) and Barracuda continue to sharpen their teeth up on the reef. Like Sailfish, Kingfish absolutely love to crush a live bait suspended beneath our kites. Kingfish have teeth that are more like surgical scalpels and they fight hard, which is why we call them “smokers” – they will smoke your drag on scorching runs once they’re hooked. We have to fish wire leaders to make sure we don’t miss these acrobatic bites. The Barracuda are lurking on the reefs to ambush the unsuspecting baits as well. Check out the huge Barracuda that one of our junior anglers tamed below!

HUGE AMBERJACKS - We’ve also been on a steady Amberjack bite over the wrecks and these “reef donkeys” are huge! Amberjacks NEVER give up and are absolute sluggers! If you want to get into a tug-ofwar, give us a call to get out and tangle with these juggernauts!

GROUPERS ARE RAVENOUS - The cold fronts and moon phases continue to sustain the best Grouper action that we’ve seen in a long time! We’re catching all Grouper species, including Blacks, Nassau Groupers and others! We’ve also been catching some huge snappers like this beast of a Cubera Snapper!

SWORDFISH IN THE LIGHT OF DAY - At Lady Pamela Sportfishing, we also offer specialty Daytime Swordfishing charters and Deep Dropping charters for various deep-water species like tilefish, snappers and groupers! Give us a call for more details about these bucket list specialty charters!
