New Boat Engine Cutoff Switch Law Goes Into Effect April 1 Applies to boats less than 26 feet operating on plane or above displacement speed

S

PRINGFIELD, Va., March 15, 2021 – There are new engine cutoff device wear requirements for recreational boat operators as part of the January 1, 2021, passage of National Defense Authorization Act that included a U.S. Coast Guard Reauthorization.

These devices, commonly referred to as engine cutoff switches (ECOS), are designed to prevent a boat-strike injury if an operator is accidentally ejected overboard while underway.

speed activities such as fishing or docking do not require use of an ECOS. The vessel operator is also exempt if the boat’s motor produces less than 115 lbs. of static thrust – or about the size of a 2-hp engine.

The new law applies to all federally navigable waterways. As this is a federal law, states do not have the ability to enforce the new ECOS regulation — though seven states (Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey and Texas) currently have their own ECOS laws. BoatUS expects most states to amend their regulations to match federal law over the coming years. While boat operators who fail to follow the new requirement could face a $100 civil penalty for the first offense, BoatUS expects the U.S. Coast Guard’s initial focus will be education.

Engine cutoff devices can be located at the helm of the boat or on the tiller or body of an outboard engine and typically connect a boat’s operator to the cutoff switch with a lanyard. Some ECOS devices eliminate the lanyard and rely on wireless proximity devices to shut down an engine if the operator goes overboard.

Effective April 1, 2021, the new Boaters are encouraged to check law requires a vessel operator the U.S. Coast Guard website for A new engine cutoff switch law aims to use either a helm or outboard additional information on this new to prevent boat-strike injuries lanyard or wireless ECOS on use requirement and other safety (credit: National Safe Boating Council) certain vessels less than 26 feet regulations and recommendations. when traveling on plane or above displacement speed.

Exceptions to the ECOS requirement include if the main helm of the vessel is in an enclosed cabin or the vessel is not operating on plane or at displacement speed. Low-

Kennedy suggests that boat operators double check to see that their engine cutoff switch is working and begin the season by getting into a good habit of wearing it.

Cheoy Lee Unveils New Explorer and Tradition Yacht Series

F

ort Lauderdale, FL – March 16, 2021 – Cheoy Lee Yachts, the luxury yacht division of leading international ship builder Cheoy Lee Shipyards, is proud to announce its new Explorer and Tradition lines. Designed by U.S. naval architecture firm Overing Yacht Designs to suit the needs and desires of American clients, Cheoy Lee’s Tradition and Explorer series yachts are constructed using advanced technology combined with the more than 150 years of traditional artisanship. Cheoy Lee has collaborated with Sylvia Bolton Design of Seattle to create fresh and comfortable interior designs for many of these new motor yachts.

The new Cheoy Lee Explorer series yachts are rugged expedition vessels built with fulldisplacement, steel hulls with round bilges, bulbous bows, commercial-level equipment, and long-range fuel capacities. Unique features include a tank deck that crew can use to transit the vessel from bow to stern. Each Explorer model is designed to be the perfect platform for any oceangoing adventure its owners can imagine. Complementing its highly practical work areas are spacious and luxurious owner and guest accommodations featuring a large flybridge lounge and an aft beach club that sustains the connection between the owner and the sea.

“What really defines the Cheoy Lee Explorer series is what they are capable of doing. Built to full class standards – Lloyd’s, RMI Yacht Code or the equivalent – they are true world-cruising yachts,” said Jon Overing, owner, Overing Yacht Designs.

The Cheoy Lee Yachts Explorer line includes the following models: 107 Explorer. Cheoy Lee Hull No. 5200 currently in build with an estimated delivery date of late summer 2022. Accommodating 10 guests and 6 to 8 crew, this five-stateroom yacht features a master suite on the bridge deck for sweeping panoramic views, as well as a VIP suite on the main deck. Crew quarters are exceptionally large and well-laid-out for a yacht of this size.

126 Explorer. Blending contemporary styling with stellar seakeeping abilities, this expedition yacht has a 26-foot beam that makes her feel more spacious than other yachts of her class.

Accommodating 10 guests and 6 to 8 crew, she features a bridge-deck master stateroom, VIP and captain’s cabins on the main deck, and three guest suites on the lower deck.

130 Explorer. Cheoy Lee Hull No. 5218 currently in build with an estimated delivery date of late summer 2022. With an operating draft of 7’ to 7.5’ and a fuel capacity of over 10,000 gallons, she is equally suited to global adventuring and islandhopping in The Bahamas. Accommodating 10 guests and 6 to 8 crew, she features a main-deck master and equivalent-sized guest suites that make her an ideal charter vessel.

132 Explorer. Designed for experienced owners who prefer the Aft House expedition yacht configuration, the 132 Explorer lets you store all

your tenders and toys on the foredeck, out of the way. This four-deck yacht accommodates 10 guests and 6 to 8 crew. Her luxurious fivestateroom layout includes a comfortable full-beam master suite located amidships.

The Cheoy Lee Tradition series yachts deliver a fresh new look and feel for the tri-deck fiberglass megayacht.

Combining semi-planing hull performance with luxury accommodations and Cheoy Lee’s outstanding seakeeping capabilities, these easy-to-maintain fiberglass yachts ensure that the journey is just as enjoyable as the destination.

This is perfect vessel to start a new family tradition of comfortable and gracious cruising.

“Designed for the American yachtsman, the Cheoy Lee Tradition series brings luxury, style and functionality together,” Overing said. “Powered by twin CAT C32 ACERT diesel marine engines, rated at 1,600 hp each, the 6,000-gallon fuel capacity will offer excellent range, depending on the speed.”

The Cheoy Lee Tradition line currently includes the following model: 118 Tradition. Delivering a 21-knot cruising speed, this luxury megayacht is full of inviting social gathering spaces, including an enclosed skylounge, which is rare on a yacht of her class.

The main deck encompasses a country kitchen and master suite with 180-degree panoramic views. Two VIP suites and two twin suites round out the accommodations for 10 guests, making the 118 Tradition an ideal yacht for charter operations.

Her 6-foot draft also makes her a great boat for The Bahamas.

“Featuring Jon Overing’s proven hull designs, with construction that draws on five generations of our family’s shipbuilding expertise coupled with the latest technological advances, these two luxury yacht lines are designed for the discriminating buyer. Interior Designer Sylvia Bolton also is a delight to work with. Our ability to bring you the best quality, value and service is what we build our reputation on,” said B.Y. Lo, vice president, Cheoy Lee North America. “Please visit our display at the 2021 Palm Beach International Boat Show, IW 540-541, so we can show you the outstanding concepts behind the new Explorer and Tradition yachts.”

This statistic not only testifies to their popularity but also to the level of financial sacrifice some pet owners make to keep their pets healthy and happy.

If our furry friend is hurt or develops a life-threatening condition, veterinary costs can quickly build up. If you are a first-time pet parent that is extra worried and want was best for your new family member, that’s where pet insurance can come in handy.

While considering Pet Insurance is a personal choice, most companies don’t restrict the vet facilities one can visit in case of an emergency away from home. Their policyholders can visit and still be covered but some do limit coverage to a specific network.

We’d recommend the former over the latter, just to make sure you’re covered anywhere in the United States. Some pet insurers will even cover your pet when you’re traveling in Canada or Puerto Rico.

Pet insurance typically costs between $38 to $70 in the US and £30 to £85 in the UK each month and can cover up to 90% of a pet’s medical bills under some plans.

Unlike human health insurance which usually pays out directly to the medical provider, pet insurance works on a reimbursement basis.

You must first pay the veterinarian for the procedure needed and then request reimbursement from the pet insurance company. The reinstatement amount is never 100% of the cost, although some of the more complete plans cover up to 90% of vet costs. The reimbursement process is usually simple, requiring only the vet’s invoice (and sometimes some treatment records) along with a completed claim form.

Pet insurance is essentially a package of many different types of coverage.

Some packages cover only the bare essentials, while others are more and include preventive care and rehabilitation. Nearly all pet insurance policies exclude preexisting conditions and specific conditions such as hip dysplasia.

Most pet insurers will reimburse you for care rendered by any licensed American vet, but some limit policyholders to certain veterinary clinics and networks.

If you are planning on taking your pet on vacation, knowing if you are covered in the unexpected case something happens to your cat or dog outside of your home is essential.

If you think it’s right for you, make sure to shop around carefully! If you are looking for more information on pet insurance check out Money.com’s Best Pet Insurance for 2021: https:// money.com/best-pet-insurance/

THE Florida MARINER #929 / 28 March 2021

www.TheMariner.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.

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.

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.

TUART, Fla., March 16, 2021 – Harry and Judy Honan, U.S. Air Force veterans who met while serving abroad, are the new owners of TowBoatUS Stuart, Florida, a 24/7 on water towing and assistance service for recreational boaters. The port’s former owner, Capt. Woody Woodruff, one of the first TowBoatUS company owners in the nationwide fleet, has decided to retire. However, some familiar faces, U.S. Coast Guard-licensed towboat captains Jesse Hofmeister and Scott Alvarez, remain with the company.

The Honans are excited about their new venture, which comes after a long career as CPAs. They provided accounting and tax services to all types of small companies, including towboat and offshore fishing businesses. The longtime boaters – Harry has boated since he was 8 – underwent extensive training under Woodruff.

“Woody ran a very successful operation,” says Harry. “We have gotten to know the business well and are looking forward to helping boaters have a better day on the water. Jesse and Scott are really good at what they do, and Judy and I are very pleased to have them.”

The Honans say they will be seeking additional response vessel captains to round out the company roster.

TowBoatUS Stuart patrols offshore through the St. Lucie Inlet to Lake Okeechobee, up the Intracoastal Waterway to Fort Pierce and south to the Jupiter Inlet. The company has four red TowBoatUS response vessels homeported at Sailfish Marina and Riverwatch Marina. All are rigged for towing, jump-starts, fuel delivery and soft ungroundings and easily recognizable with TowBoatUS logos emblazoned in white letters on each side. Separate from BoatUS towing services, the company offers boat salvage and dive services.

The most common requests for on-water assistance, says Harry, are for ungrounding or fuel issues. “Sand bars move around continuously. Being on the wrong side of a buoy or mark could mean going from 7 feet of water in the channel to just 2 outside the mark.”

TowBoatUS Stuart is part of a network of 300 TowBoatUS

DiscoverBoating Bilge Pump Basics: What is it, and How Should You Use It?

www.TheMariner.com

A

bilge pump is a key piece of equipment found on just about any boat, but for many new boaters in particular, they may find themselves asking the basic question: “What is a bilge pump?”

The function of the bilge pump is to remove water that collects in the bilge, which is the bottom of the inside of the hull. Most of the time, water that collects in the bilge is incidental: • It could be rain water or water from spray collecting in the boat; • Wash-down water that collects in the bilge while the boat is being cleaned; • Or water from built-in coolers that drain to the bilge.

On larger boats, built-in coolers, the lips around large hatches, and even drink holders may be drained overboard, but on smaller boats this water is simply routed to the bilge. Water may also collect in the bilge from minor leaks, such as water dripping from the shaft gland on an inboard boat.

Very few boats have a bilge pump large enough to keep the boat from sinking in a catastrophe, such as a large hole in the hull. In that scenario, the bilge pump or pumps may give you time to either repair or mitigate the leak, to call for assistance, or to prepare to abandon the boat in an orderly manner.

Where are Bilge Pumps Located on a Boat?

At least one pump or bilge pump pickup should

be installed at the lowest point in the bilge. Larger boats should have one in each enclosed area that can retain water. Discharge outlets need to be a minimum of eight inches above the waterline.

All bilge pumps on the boat should be accessible, so you can inspect the pump and its float, and clear debris from around the pump pickup. If the pump is located in a spot that’s inaccessible or hard to reach, such as below the engine on a sterndrive boat, consider relocating it if possible.

How and When Should You Turn on a Bilge Pump?

The pump may have a float or switch to turn it on automatically when water collects in the bilge.

This is especially important if the boat is kept in the water, as you’ll want the pump to activate after a heavy rain storm, for example. The pump may also just have a manual switch at the helm. Often the bilge pump switch has an “auto” and “manual” setting.

Regularly inspect the area around the pump for debris, which could clog the pickup or foul the pump. Surprisingly, this is especially important on new boats, as all kinds of construction debris – sawdust and fiberglass dust, bits of foam and epoxy, even screws—can work its way back to the bilge.

Periodically, check the function of the float switch,

which can get crusty or corroded over time.

• Wiring for the bilge pump should be routed up to keep it out of the damp bilge, and any wiring connections should be water-tight.

• If the pump is not on frequently, check its function by running a little water into the bilge.

• This confirms more than the function of the switch, as you’ll actually see that the pump is able to move water.

Selecting a Bilge Pump for Your Boat A bilge pump is rated by its ability to move water, expressed in gallon per hour, or GPH. The rating is relative, however, and a good rule of thumb is that the pump will move about 60 percent of its rating.

The distance and height it must move the water, and the type of discharge hose, all affect the realworld pumping rate.

If the discharge hose is a corrugated type, replacing it with a smooth-wall hose can increase the flow rate by up to 30 percent. It seems logical that a small boat can make due with a pump with a lower flow rating, but the opposite is true; in an instance of a hole in the hull or another major incident, that water is going to impact a small boat much faster than it will a larger boat.

Experienced boat owners use a two-pump strategy, especially if they head far from shore. A smaller (400-500 GPH) automatic bilge pump is mounted low in the bilge to pump out rain other incidental

water, and a high-capacity pump (3,500 GPH) mounted higher to handle a more-serious situation.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Ray Markham A minor front moving through the Suncoast at mid-week may make for some bumpy seas offshore but should easily be fishable by the weekend.

OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE Red grouper and a variety of snappers have been the hot ticket in nearshore and offshore in depths ranging from 80-to 120feet of water for Captain Brian Morgan of Captain Morgan’s Fishing Adventures of St. Petersburg along with many other local charter captains. Gag grouper and red snapper both open June 1. Vermilion snapper and some fat mangrove snappers are being caught in the same depths. Capt. Dylan Hubbard of Hubbard’s Marina at John’s Pass on Madeira Beach also reported catching some nice red grouper inside the 120-foot mark and good numbers of fat mangos, lanes, and vermilions in deeper water. Red snapper were caught and released.

Cobia are on the move northward as Gulf waters warm. Look for them around high relief on wrecks and around any kind of structure. A big pinfish, jumbo shrimp, or crab rigged on a circle hook can lure these fish into eating. Artificial lures like eels and big bucktail jigs work well for these fish.

Hogfish are still in the catch for anglers dropping live shrimp in depths of water from 40-to 80-feet. Pretty consistent action has been seen for most anglers targeting these fish.

Kingfish showed up on some offshore wrecks last week along with Spanish mackerel in nearshore waters. Both can be caught t ro l l i n g spoons and jigs.

Huntington

Drone brings a variety of sizes of their popular spoons to the table that have caught kings and Spanish for years. Clark Spoons have been a local favorite as well for Spanish mackerel. You can find mackerel along the beaches and in the Egmont Key Ship’s Channel wherever there are pods of baitfish.

Look for diving birds and skyrocketing fish to point you toward feeding fish.

INSHORE Trout fishing continues to improve in most areas, but the upper Tampa Bay area has not fared quite as well. While the redfish and snook populations there have been pretty regular, trout have just not been caught in good numbers. Near the mouth of Tampa Bay, trout fishing is much better with decent numbers and sizes of trout being caught and released.

Flounder size and bag limits have changed as of this week. The new minimum size for flounder is 14-inches and the new bag limit is 5 fish per person. A new closure goes into effect from October 15th through November 30 beginning this year.

Snook fishing has been stellar. Good numbers of snook are heading out of canals, rivers, and backwaters of bays toward the flats to feed. I would expect that they will head toward the passes a little earlier this year based on the elevated water temperature for this time of year. In the meantime, they remain catch and release only in the area south of the Pasco/ Hernando county line to Gordon Pass in Collier County.

Topwater action for snook has been terrific with an assortment of lures working well. MirrOlure Top Dogs have been one of my favorite topwater walking lures for over two decades now.

Zara Spook Jr. and Rapala Skitterwalk are all very good

with Captain Dylan Hubbard InshoreMackerel have invaded the area in big numbers. The spring run is here and were starting to see some kingfish move into the bay too. The mackerel numbers are staggering around those bait schools that are moving around local bridges, passes, along the beach and deeper grass flats.

This is a great time to get out there with some fast-moving flashy baits like the gotcha plugs, casting spoons, and whatever else that you can retrieve quickly while keeping it 2-3ft under the water.

Look for birds or bait action at the surface to quickly dial in on where the mackerel are feeding. You may accidentally run into schools of jack crevalle too, but they are tons of fun to fight until you find the mackerel.

Sheepshead are still biting well around area bridges, docks, piers, and virtually most any structure with the growth to attract these fish. They are looking for those fiddler crabs, small pieces of shrimp or cut oysters. They will be biting well behind this front and you should take advantage of the good action while you can. As the water warms, they will dissipate and be less concentrated and aggressive.

Mangrove snapper are starting to heat up as the water warms. We are seeing these guys show up around the same areas as the sheepshead and they get into schools of good numbers. They will get bigger, more aggressive, and more concentrated as summer approaches. They love super light tackle and small greenbacks or pieces of shrimp. Around a 1ot hook or even number 1 hook and around 15lb-20lb floro works well with minimal weight. Essentially the

18

same area and same tackle you have been using for sheepshead, but you can use a smaller hook. These guys will not be bending or breaking your hooks like the tough mouth of a sheepshead would.

Pompano action is really in full swing now. We are seeing these guys all over the bay around those sandy passes and cuts. Around Anna Maria, Egmont key, Fort De Soto, Blinds Pass and Pass a grille are some hotspots. Those pompano jigs bouncing across that sandy bottom are a local favorite for targeting these incredibly good eating fish.

Whiting are prolific along with some silver trout around the beaches and sandy passes and were seeing more and more of them. They love live shrimp on the bottom, but you can catch em often targeting pompano with the pompano jigs. Also, soft plastics will work for the silver trout just like their cousin the speckled trout.

Trout action picked up a bit this past week. We are seeing good trout numbers around the dock and bridge lights at night around the passes and bay. During the day, they are hanging in those cuts and potholes on the flats and at the deeper edges. The deeper 4-6ft deep flats are producing the best trout action lately.

Redfish have been thick in the passes we are seeing incredible redfish numbers around the docks, bridges, and structures near the passes. Also, along the flats, mangrove shorelines and still residential dock lines redfish action is going well all the way up into the very upper bay. The redfish love live shrimp, white bait, or even cut

West Central Florida Southwest Coast as well. Night fly fishing trips with Capt. Rick Grassett out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key are producing some nice snook on several fly patterns tied by Capt. Rick Grassett.

A lure new to the United States called the Asturie 110 Xorus is making a huge splash here. This topwater lure zigs and zags with the best of them. It’s been a hit in Europe for some time now and is a top-seller there.

The lure is manufactured by Patrick Sebile’s company called A Band of Anglers. Look for big things from this lure and some other new entries from Sebile to show up in stores soon.

Mike Scheid, of Kentucky, fished with me last week, catching his first spotted seatrout on Clouser Minnow flies. Scheid also landed numerous other trout to 24-inches, ladyfish, and several snook to 25-inches while fishing lower Tampa Bay. FRESHWATER Bass fishing over the past weekend has been good with the full moon. Bedding fish were defending nests and almost any soft plastic creature bait flipped, pitched, or cast into or around the beds would get bit. As the full moon wanes, so will the action, but bluegill in most of the area ponds, lakes, and rivers are hitting around the shore of these bodies of water. Fly anglers have the edge here by fishing small poppers, sliders, and spider imitations for some fast action. Give fly fishing a try. You might find it addicting.

‘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 threadfins. However, the soft plastic paddle tails are an artificial favorite for these fish moving slowly around the docks and flats.

Snook are pushing back into the passes more and more, but not up to those typical late spring and summer numbers yet. However, it seems we are not far away from that snook frenzy that ensues as the water warms up and they stage up for their summer spawn near shore.

We are still seeing plenty around the bay especially around those residential docks, sandy shorelines adjacent to the flats, mangrove shorelines and even around the flats. Lots of juvenile snook are most active on the flats where most of the larger fish are more structure orientated lately.

Tarpon are starting to show up in the area early this year. We spotted quite a few hooked up with some early season juvenile tarpon around the skyway this past week as we trolled for kingfish and mackerel on the bumpier days. They will only get better as their peak time is around May-July.

Captain’sCorner

www.TheMariner.com

with Captain Tom Van Horn Indian River Lagoon Coastal Fishing Forecast, April 2021 Some highlights for fishing on Florida’s east central coast during the spring are the weather is still cool and enjoyable, the waters warming up and the fish begin to shift into their pre-spawning feeding mood.

Some examples of this behavior are the cobia moving north up the Atlantic coast, and the spotted sea trout transitioning into their traditional spawning areas on the inshore flats. Like many saltwater species, the cobia and sea trout spawn in aggregations or groups, not on beds. In the case of the cobia their traditional spawning areas are off the central east coast of the US, and in the northern Gulf of Mexico. As the fish migrate north, they burn energy and feed heavily along the way, hence the cobia run we experience each spring.

On the flats, the smaller sea trout move up into the shallows first, and then call the females in to spawn by drumming loudly just after dusk when the conditions are right, usually on the first new moon or full moon in April, and then again on the new and full moons throughout the summer.

The seas can be a bit challenging, so be mindful and pick your day. Look for birds – primarily frigates, not terns – on the water surface. They will pinpoint the location of larger dolphin.

While one strategy is to troll lures near the frigates, we recommend employing a skirted Bionic ballyhoo. An option is to visually spot the fish yourself and toss a live bait directly in front of it. Pilchards, goggle eyes and pinfish work well.

Persistence pays to get the fish to eat.

Continue trying as long as you can see the fish on the surface. Should you lose sight of it, try trolling in ever-widening circles from where you first saw it. Sometimes these big fish just won’t eat, so it’s best to move on to the next frigate bird on the surface.

NEARSHORE As we move in near-shore, tripletail should become more dependable, and look for late season cobia as well. The cobia run thus far has been slow; with bait pods (Atlantic menhaden or pogies) arriving late this year. As the bait pod move in, look for Spanish mackerel, bluefish, redfish, giant jack crevalle, sharks, and smoker kings. Concentrate your efforts in areas of bait pods. When you see areas of bait balled up and pushed to the surface, there is a high probability that feeding gamefish are pressuring the bait from below.

INLETS In the inlets, look for good numbers of flounder, sheepshead and black drum around structure such as jetties and docks, and Spanish mackerel, blues, and large jacks in open water.

Also look for the nighttime snook and tarpon action to heat up in the Sebastian Inlet.

INDIAN RIVER AND MOSQUITO LAGOON FLATS On the lagoon flats, fish the early morning and late evening with your favorite top water plugs for extreme topwater sea trout action, and soft plastics and jigs in deeper water, 2 to 3 feet after the midday sun settles in. Remember, April is one of the months when larger sea trout are egg laden for the spawn,

with Captain Chris Johnson

There are also plenty of blackfin tuna offshore at the Marathon humps.

Sharks tend to be heavy this time of year, so landing larger blackfins of 20 pounds or greater can be an effort in futility.

The pelagic action continues on the reef as this is peak time for big numbers of sailfish.

The depth where you’ll find the sails ranges anywhere from

Central Florida so it’s very important to handle and release the larger females with great care. If you are looking for snook and tarpon action inside, the Sebastian River will be the place to go.

FRESHWATER & ST. JOHNS RIVER Finally, freshwater largemouth and striped bass action has been and will heat up on the St Johns River. Look for schooling bass at first light feeding on threadfin shad from the Osteen Bridge to Lake Harney. My favorite locations are in the river bends near the power lines at Lemmon Bluff and at confluences of Lake Harney and the River. A good way to locate these schooling fish is to look for wading birds congregating along the shore.

When in the feeding mode, these fish will take small plastic jerk baits like the 4-inch DOA Shad Tail, most small swim plugs, and small live shiners. Also, as the river rises and the velocity increases, the larger spawning channel catfish (freshwater cobia) move out of the big lakes into the river to spawn.

As always, if you need information or have any questions, please contact me.

Good luck and good fishing.

Marathon/Florida Keys Marathon / Florida Keys

right on the reef out to 200 feet. The key is to have good, blue water. The ideal is powder blue water pushed up against purple water. Waves of three to four feet create what is called “tailing,” which is just what you’d think. The sailfish tails stick out of the water as they surf down the surface of the wave.

Just about any of the usual cast of sailfish baits work, including goggle eyes, pilchards, ballyhoo and cigar minnows.

Much as you would with dolphin, pitch your baits in front of the fish. When they see it, typically they light up and attack it. It’s an incredible sight! This is a visual fishery, and it’s not unusual to see 50 sailfish on a day when conditions are perfect.

You may also find dolphin and cobia in the same areas mixed in with the sailfish, so be sure to keep a keen eye out. All the same live baits used for sailfish will attract their interest.

On the wrecks, the bite for big amberjacks hits its peak as these fish are in the area to spawn. Fish in the 70- to 90-pound class are common.

The mutton snapper bite is also rapid as they, too, begin to gather to spawn later in May and June. Baits for the AJs and muttons are pinfish, pilchards and live ballyhoo.

On the artificial reefs off Marathon, we have an excellent permit fishery. This is another visual fishery, although best accomplished with cleaner water and calmer conditions than you want for sailfish.

The permit are

often schooled up off the top or very near the main wreckage and are in massive schools of 300 to 500 fish. The average size is 15 to 25 pounds, with some monsters pushing 40. A small, 2- to 3-inch blue crab fished on a jighead with 20-pound tackle will do the trick for you.

Permit is a catch-and-release fishery, so be sure to release all fish unharmed as they are here to spawn.

Yellowtails are the main event on the reef.

The largest specimens can be found in 40 to 60 feet of water. Be sure to use copious amounts of Bionic chum, and any kind of small cut bait or shrimp will work as baits. Just ask your local tackle shop what’s working best in your area.

The tarpon are here in full force around the bridges. Marathon has three players when it comes to bridge fishing for tarpon: Long Key, Seven Mile and Bahia Honda. Baits and techniques vary bridgeto-bridge. Again, check with your local tackle shop.

Of course, if you really want to land big tarpon without wasting a lot of time and money, hire a local guide as we’re highly tuned in to this very specialized fishery.

There also plenty of big-fish action on light tackle with sharks round the shallower flats. For those desiring the ultimate shallow-water challenge, fishing for bonefish, permit and tarpon on the flats is hitting its stride right now.

Cobia which are the most sought after pelagic species along the Nature Coast typically travel anywhere from alongside our oysters bars to a few miles offshore, usually moving south to north in the spring. They often swim just below the surface, making them exciting sight-fishing targets. Capt.

Vision of perfection.

erfection isn’t a goal at the finish line of production. It is the subtle understanding of what each owner’s personal vision of perfection is. This is the hallmark of Marlow Explorer and Voyager yachts. We work with each owner to achieve perfection in their eyes, not merely build a yacht, but rather a statement of themselves.
