The 44CB offers all of the features buyers love in the 44ST and 44FA, plus a center console berth and small bunk for shelter and sleep during overnight trips.

The latest model release from Contender Boats, the Contender 44 Canyon Berth (44CB), packs speed, reliability and performance into a 44 ft. saltwater fishing machine. With a maximum power rating of 2000HP, the 44CB was inspired by the fishing diehards of the northeast, those

men and women who regularly battle the elements to pursue big fish. Built with a console berth and small bunk, the 44CB offers enough headroom to comfortably take cover from the elements or rest up during overnight trips.

for every model from engine power to upholstery, delivering the performance, convenience and comfort anglers expect.

Based in Homestead, Fla., Contender Boats offers a full line of sportfishing boats through its select

Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the preheated pan. Carefully add half of the egg mixture. Slowly cook the egg mixture without stirring until it starts to become half solid. Evenly add half of the shredded cheese to the top of the cooking omelet. Evenly add half of the reserved unseasoned blue crab meat.

Continue to let omelet slowly cook. When the omelet is all most all the way cooked, use a thin spatula to loosen and remove the omelet from the pan onto a clean work surface. Return the sauté pan to the heat and repeat the cooking process for the second omelet. Use a clean paper towel in the same manner as a sushi mat to evenly and tightly roll the omelet. Place the rolled omelet onto a plate and garnish with half of the seasoned blue crab topping and chives. Continue this process with the second omelet.

How to Trim a Boat

M

any new boaters often ask the question, “what does ‘trim’ mean”? Knowing what it means to trim a boat, and how to properly trim a boat, will improve its performance and fuel economy. Trim is simply the running angle of the boat as it makes way in the water; when we adjust the trim we are either raising or lowering the bow (the front of the boat). Here’s how it works...

5 Basic Steps to Trim a Boat 1. Trim is controlled with a toggle button on the control lever or on the dash.

2. The trim system uses hydraulic rams to change the angle of the outboard motor or sterndrive gearcase—and with it the angle of the propeller shaft—relative to the boat transom, through a range of about 20 degrees.

3. When the boat is on plane and the prop shaft is parallel with the water surface, the trim is said to be neutral or zero. In this state, all of the propeller force is pushing the boat forward.

4. When the trim button is pressed down, the gearcase moves closer to the transom until it bottoms out at about negative 6 degrees from zero trim. Now the prop shaft is aimed up 6 degrees, and some of the force is lifting the stern of the boat.

When the stern is lifted, the bow is pushed down— just like a teeter-totter on a playground.

5. When the trim button is pressed up, the gearcase rotates away from the transom and, once it’s past the neutral point, the propshaft is pointed downward. Now some of the prop thrust is pushing

the stern down, and thus lifting the bow.

Just remember that the boat’s bow will move in the same direction you press the trim button—button up is bow up, button down is bow down.

Adjusting Your Boat’s Trim Negative trim—when the trim is all the way down—is used to help get the boat on plane as it accelerates away from dead in the water. The angle of the propeller thrust will help lift the stern and push the bow down so that the boat rolls smartly up onto the water.

Try to power on plane with the drive trimmed out, and the prop will dig a hole behind the boat and the bow will point skyward, probably blocking your view forward, as the boat struggles to plane. You may get on plane eventually, but you are wasting fuel and putting undue stress on the engine.

Once on plane, it’s time to trim up to raise the bow so that the boat is skimming along over the water, rather than pushing through it.

• Bump the trim button up and you’ll notice the bow rise, the steering will feel lighter, and boat speed will increase.

• Notice that spot where spray breaks off the hull moves aft as you trim up.

• Drag is significantly reduced and efficiency is enhanced.

Eventually you may over-trim and raise the drive or outboard so far that the prop begins aerating and losing bite on the water—boat speed will decrease even as engine RPM increases. Bump the trim button down a little and the prop will hook back up with the water.

Porpoising, or the bow bobbing up and dow, is caused by over-trimming at cruising speed; there’s no longer enough hull in the water to support the weight of the boat. Either trim down a little until the porpoising stops, or increase boat speed slightly to create more lifting force under the hull. In rough water, especially with a head sea, trimming down will soften the ride by allowing the sharper deadrise of the forward bow to slice through the chop.

An experienced captain gets in the habit of trimming the drive or outboard all the way down every time the boat comes off plane, so that it’s in position when it’s time to power back on plane. Automatic trim systems, a feature of many newer boats that can also often be added as an accessory, effectively manage the trim based on boat speed and throttle setting.

Operating Manual Trim Boats powered by smaller outboards may not have a power trim system, but the trim can still be adjusted manually by moving a pin in the motor bracket.

• There will be a series of four or five holes in the bracket for this pin, which determines the running angle of the outboard (see your owner’s manual for adjustment details).

• You, of course, need to move the pin while the outboard is not running and the boat is stationary.

• The best trim setting will be a bit of a compromise; if you set the trim too low the boat may plane easily but the bow will plow when the boat is on plane, and if the trim is too high the boat may struggle to get on plane.

• Try moving the pin up or down one hole at a time until the boat planes efficiently and the bow lifts a bit at speed and the boat handles well.

• You may want to adjust the trim for boat weight, adding trim for a heavy load of passengers, for example, or trimming up one hole for a light load.

Navico Partners with E1 Series, World’s First Electric Powerboat Championship New Global Series Will Integrate Simrad® Electronics and C-MAP® Chart Technology in its “RaceBird” Hydrofoil Boats

E

gersund, Norway – Navico announced a partnership with the E1 Series, world’s first electric powerboating championship, scheduled to kick off in early 2023 with up to 12 teams set to race on a tight, technical course reaching speeds up to 50 knots (58mph; 93km/h). The announcement coincides with the E1 Series unveiling its first full-size model of the RaceBird electric powerboat at a presentation ceremony early this week at the Yacht Club de Monaco in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Simrad® electronics will be the Official Marine Electronics Partner of the E1 Series, while C-MAP becomes the Official Cartography Partner. Both brands will assist to support the development of onboard systems and RaceBird’s cockpit for use in a future E1 Series powerboat racing championship.

“Navico is incredibly excited for this E1 Series partnership featuring Simrad® and C-MAP and to be part of the development process together with E1 and other partners towards designing and producing the most advanced electric race boats in the world over the next year,” said Knut Frostad, CEO of Navico. “The electrification journey is quickly taking hold in the boating industry and we believe the E1 Series is a perfect platform to raise the bar around innovation and encourage action in marine conservation and sustainability.”

The E1 Series partnership is designed to create the world’s first Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) sanctioned electric powerboat racing championship, with competition held close to shore in urban areas featuring the RaceBird, a hydrofoil-type boat now

under development for use in the series.

The RaceBird was designed by SeaBird Technologies and Victory Marine and features an electric outboard motor, enclosed safety canopy and hydrofoil technology. The boats will be powered by a 35kWh battery from Kreisel and a motor with 150 kW peak power output, with a projected top speed of 58mph (93 km/h). Using innovative hydrofoil technology, the RaceBird powerboats will rise high above the water’s surface, allowing for minimum drag and maximum energy efficiency. The boats will be manufactured by Victory Marine.

mapping technology for teams and race management.

“This is a fantastic day for racing fans across the world as the new RaceBird is unveiled, and we look forward to seeing the technologies Simrad and C-MAP will integrate into this new electric powerboat racing championship in the near future,” added Frostad.

Captain’sCorner

www.TheMariner.com

with Captain Sergio Atanes Flatties of Tampa Bay (Flounders) TampaBay offers a smorgasbord of species to fish for, including redfish, snook, trout, and cobia, just to mention a few. As a charter captain, the most requested inshore species is snook with redfish a close second. One species often overlooked is Paralichthy lethostigma, or in layman’s term Southern Flounder.

Southern Flounder are frequently called “doormats”. These fish can easily camouflage themselves and can be found around sandy or muddy bottoms along the edge of grass beds and channels. These doormats average in size from 2-4 pounds with many tipping the scales at 8 pounds.

A strong fighter on light tackle and rated as one of the best in food value, most Southern Flounder are caught by accident while drifting the flats or cuts for redfish and trout.

Bounce the jig along the bottom and the drift of the boat will do the rest of the work.

In deeper water (6-10 foot), I recommend a 3/8 ounce jig head.

Artificial: A 3/8-ounce jig head with a 3-inch tail works during cold fronts. The last several years with the introduction of artificial baits with fish attractant built in or the use of products like The Fish Bomb (shrimp cocktail) can make a big difference in the amount of fish caught. Anchor on the outer edges of grass beds or deep water channel casting up current or tide.

The secret is to bounce the jig along the bottom with a slow retrieve. Flounder will only travel short distances for food, so the presentation must be close. The more casts the better chances of catching fish. We must not forget the old standby Fishbites Scented shrimp.

Although Southern Flounder can be caught all year long, I find the cooling fall season as prime time for catching doormats. November and December are my favorite months to catch them, when other fish are slow to strike the flounder are always ready for an easy meal.

Flounders are bottom feeders, and in order to increase your chances at the big ones I recommend several techniques that have worked for me over the years.

Dock Fishing: Is another good way to catch the big ones, while the heat generated around the concrete piling on cold windy days is a natural attractant ¼-ounce sinker setup as a Texas rig with a glow bead between the hook and the sinker for the big ones. It’s my belief that the glow bead just draws attention in the dark bottom and turns the flounder on to strike quicker. Seawalls that have a quick drop into sandy bottom with grass patches are also key spots.

Deador Live Bait Fishing: Drift along the outer edges of grass beds or along side of channels with structure or rubble.

A ¼-ounce jig head this methodworks best in 2-6 feet of water. Hook a small piece of shrimp or Fishbites Shrimp scent on the jig or if you prefer a medium live shrimp.

Bridges: Flounder tend to sit and wait for their bait so try fishing the bind side of the bridge where the tide is moving bringing food to them. Here I use 3/8-ounce sinker setup with the glow bead all the time, casting along the edges of the shoreline and

with Captain Rick Grassett You may find blues, Spanish mackerel and pompano mixed with trout on deep grass flats this month. You should also find larger trout in skinny water along with reds. Snook will stage around bars and on shallow flats as they make their move towards winter areas. Action in the coastal gulf with false albacore, tripletail, Spanish mackerel, blues and more should explode!

Snook and reds remain closed to harvest south of State Rd 64 in Manatee County on the west coast of Florida, south to the south bank of Gordon Pass in Collier County.

Reds and snook are catch and release only in that zone until May 31, 2022. Spotted Seatrout has reopened in that zone with a 3 fish per person, bag limit and a 6 fish boat limit. Trout must be from 15”-19” with one allowed per vessel over 19”. Full regulations and details can be viewed at https://myfwc. com/ .MikePerzSBCALShadsnook You should find snook staging around docks and bridges in the ICW and along sand bars and in potholes on shallow flats. They may be along mangrove shorelines when the tide is high. I like CAL jigs with 3” and 4” shad tails and surface walking top water lures like the DOA “PT” in shallow water for snook. CAL jigs with shad tails or jerk worms, DOA TerrorEyz, DOA Shrimp and small white flies, like my Grassett Snook Minnow, will work well around dock and bridge fender lights. Fish the strongest tides for the best action.

Reds will spread out on shallow grass flats in November. You should find them along bars, in potholes or around docks. Look for them along mangrove shorelines when the tide is high, but they are just as likely to

be roaming with mullet schools in shallow water. CAL jigs with shad tails, grubs or jerk worms and gold spoons should work well for reds in shallow water. Fly anglers may score with lightly weighted flies, such as Clousers, spoon flies or my Grassett Flats Minnow fly.

You may also find big trout along with reds in shallow water this month. The same lures and flies that you use for snook and reds in shallow water will also work for trout. You’ll also find trout on deep grass flats in water from 3’ to 7’ deep. I like to drift and cast quartering ahead of my drift with CAL jigs, DOA Deadly Combos or weighted flies on sink tip fly lines to locate trout. In addition to making a series of drifts to find fish, look for baitfish on the surface or birds to find them.

You may also find blues, Spanish mackerel, flounder or pompano on deep grass flats this month. The techniques to find them is the same as for trout, although blues and Spanish mackerel may feed on the surface making them easier to find. Likewise with pompano, that may skip on the surface when you run or drift past them. When that happens, circle back upwind and drift back through the area, casting ahead of your drift.

I like a 1/16 or 1/8-ounce chartreuse CAL jig head with a gold grub for pompano. You’ll need to add wire or heavy fluorocarbon when toothy fish are around to keep them from biting you off. You may find flounder on a mixture of grass and sand, particularly on the edges of bars or in potholes.

There should be good action in the coastal gulf with false albacore (little tunny), Spanish and king mackerel, blues, tripletail or cobia. Look for Spanish mackerel, blues or false albacore

THE Florida MARINER #945 / 7 November 2021

West Central Florida Southwest Coast working the shrimp towards the drop.

Tackle: My favorite rod is a 7.5 ft. Okuma medium light action rod in the 10 to 17-pound test range, medium size spinning reel like the Okuma Halios30. Fall months usually means windy days so I prefer using Fins Windtamer 15-pound test braided line.It’s one of the best lines I have found in helping keeping wind knot down to a minimum. Most of my big founder fishing is done around docks and braided line seems to be the most proficient.

FLORIDA KEYS FISHINGTOURNAMENTS: 2021 Florida Keys Fishing Tournaments Calendar - Long popular, these fishing events provide a chance for some friendly Florida Keys fishing competition to see who’s going to go home with the next big saltwater trophy. These exhilarating tournament fishing contests attract entrants the same way sailfish are drawn to ballyhoo. You can fish singly, in groups, or even team up with Key West fishing guides for the very popular Cuda Bowl held each year.So whether your idea of fun is going to Key West fly fishing for permit, Islamorada deep sea fishing for sailfish, Key Largo back country fishing, or Marathon tarpon fishing, there’s a fish tournament for you. Since fishing in Florida Keys is always good, there’s typically a fishing tournament going on some where in the Florida Keys. This also means that some fishing tournaments will occur during the rainy season. Visit https://www. florida-keys-vacation.com/Florida-Keys-Fishing-Tournaments.html

Southwest Florida feeding on the surface to find them. Diving terns or terns hovering just above the surface of the water and moving fast will give their presence away if they aren’t on top. CAL jigs with shad tails and jerk worms and top water plugs will work well. Fly anglers should score with small white flies, Ultra Hair Clousers, poppers or Crease flies.

Look for tripletail around crab trap floats and cast DOA Shrimp, CAL jigs with shad tails or DOA TerrorEyz to them. Cobia may also be found around crab trap floats, swimming on the surface or over structure. They will require medium-heavy spinning tackle or at least a 9-weight fly rod. Larger baits like DOA Baitbusters, CAL jigs with 5½” jerk worms or the DOA SnakeKoil should work well for cobia on spinning tackle. Fly anglers should score with wide profile baitfish patterns.

This a great month for fishing the flats or the coastal gulf. Since the action in the coastal gulf is seasonal and will end when it gets cooler, I like to fish there when conditions allow it. However, if that’s not for you or if conditions won’t allow it, there will be plenty of action for a variety of fish on shallow and deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by agricultural, industrial and residential runoff, toxic spills and discharges, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

We also made the run to Bimini to do a bit of high-speed trolling for wahoo. I was super excited to do this again and we were rewarded with some nice size wahoo. Our biggest on Day 1 was 50 pounds and then on Day 2 we caught one 55 pounds as well as some smaller ones. If you haven’t experienced it yet, there is no other sounds like the sound the reel makes when a wahoo hits the lure while you’re trolling at 15 knots.

The bite is vicious and long. All I have to say, is your tackle better be up to the standard. Any faults in your rigging and you will find it out quick.

We are already getting a bunch of our winter bookings and we are booked completely till the end of this month.

November and December are filling up quick. So, look at your calendars and whether its swordfish you want to scratch off the list, sailfish on the kites, or wahoo in the Bahamas, give us a call or check out my online calendar on my website for pricing and availability.

well, ready to throw at the target sailfish.

This cornucopia of bait lures the hungry pelagic predators as they end their migration to the Keys Atlantic waters for the winter. Most notable are the sailfish, but cobia and king mackerel also arrive from the north. Meanwhile, the dolphin and tuna creep closer to the reef edge to get in on the feast.

Advance directly offshore of where the initial sailfish action was – or where you’ve seen activity in the past – and put a spread of live ballyhoo just outside the reef edge anywhere from 90 to 120 feet of water. This is where the sailfish lurk during the day, waiting for an opportunity to eat. Any wandering ballyhoo becomes an easy snack.

And it’s not just the pelagics. Also enjoying the bounty of baitfish are our year-round reef species, mutton, mangrove and yellowtail snapper, black and red grouper, large cero mackerel, amberjack and more. Too many to list.

As the sailfish arrive in increasing numbers, they come with an appetite and quickly home in on the baitfish. The sailfish are most often seen spraying ballyhoo in the 30-foot shallows early in the morning and late in the evening.

When the sailfish attack the ballyhoo, the baitfish shower out of the water. The goal is to get yourself in the zone before the attack takes place. Be sure to have a dozen or so live ballyhoo in your live

Early November heralds the beginning of our winter fisheries. The key is the passing of cool fronts that push a mass migration of one of our major baitfish species, the ballyhoo, from their shallow-water safety in Florida Bay to the ocean.

Along with the ballyhoo come cigar minnows, sardines and pilchards.

This is a sight-fishing game, so anglers with towers on their boats have an advantage. Look for frigate birds diving the water surface in the distance. This indicates where the sailfish have corralled the ballyhoo.

This fall has also proven to be a very good start to the fall swordfish season.

Traditionally Sept “ December have been great daytime swordfish months, but the past few years, just like a lot of the other fisheries, it seems the swords started off late and it was better November through February. This year we are back on track and September and October have been very good. We have caught a swordfish on every single trip, except for one trip. The swordfish we have been catching haven’t been huge, but there have been some

very big swordfish caught recently. There have been a handful of 300 and 400 pound fish and even a 500 pounder was caught recently. All our trips have been daytime trips, but we do have a nighttime swordfish trip coming up next week, as well as 5 or 6 daytime sword trips. So as you can see, we are in the thick of swordfish season.

Late Mahi Run/Fall Swordfish In the past few reports, we have noted how slow the mahi fishing has been this whole summer. In September we pretty much assumed that it was over and hopefully we would have better luck mahi fishing next season. As we dismissed the season, the best mahi fishing of the year is now taking place in late September and October. You would expect bigger mahis this time of year but not only are we seeing bigger fish, but we are seeing a ton of them It is not unusual to go out and catch 30 or so mahis every day. That might be the norm in the summer, but not in the fall. That coupled with the fact that each fish is bigger and much above the legal size, it’s a win “ win! Don’t know how long this late season run will last, but we will take it especially knowing that sailfish season is knocking on the door.

Southeast Coast

When the early-morning action calms down around 10 or so, it’s back to catching a few more fresh ‘hoos to get you through your day. Anchor up, chum them to the boat and either throw a cast net or hair hook them.

It’s not always sailfish spraying the ballyhoo, so be prepared as quite often we’ll see quality size dolphin in the 15- to 20-pound class chasing the baitfish.

While live-baiting off the reef edge, it’s also productive to try for kingfish. Run a bait down 20 to 30 feet with a small trace of wire and 4 to 6 ounces of lead to catch a king or two for the smoker. It’s not unknown for a sailfish to be taken on that down-rod, so be prepared for that as well.

The yellowtail snapper bite gets going in earnest with the cooling waters on the reef.

This is when we start to see a mixed bag in the catches, with more mangrove snappers getting up shallow. It always pays to have a bottom rod down in search of mutton snappers and nice size black groupers.

For the yellowtails

and mangroves, you want plenty of chum with YellowtailUp, SnapperUp and Mojo Oats from Aquatic Nutrition to make your slop. Small pieces of ballyhoo are the best baits. For the down rod, use a nice live bait – preferably ballyhoo this time of year – but pilchards or pinfish will also work.

The bay and gulf side fisheries rev up as well during November. Good size mangroves are on the grass banks, wrecks and channel cuts. And, the Spanish mackerel show up in huge numbers.

This is the month for your mack attack!

There are really no specific spots for the Spanish mackerel. We like to anchor up near a piece of bottom structure, but not right on it. Put a block of Bionic double-ground chum in the water. And wait. The mackerel should show in short order.

Use a fresh shrimp threaded on a jighead, cast back in the slick and retrieved quickly. The strike can be jarring. If there’s not a lot of floating bay grass, small shiny spoons and small bucktails will also do the job. Just remember to have a foot-long or less trace of #4 wire to prevent bite-offs.

The SeaSquared crew wishes you a very Happy Thanksgiving, and we hope to see you on one of our boats during this holiday season!

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

28

www.TheMariner.com 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. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.

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 “Virtual Boat America” course options: November 20th & 21st; December 18th & 19th. All classes are from 9am to 2pm.

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.
