As of Monday, July 13, Krysta, a female loggerhead sea turtle, had traveled 249 miles since she was satellitetagged and released on June 29 after nesting on Coquina Beach. She will participate in the Sea Turtle Conservancy’s 2026 Tour de Turtles race, which begins on Aug. 1. Krysta is symbolically swimming to raise awareness about the threat of beach erosion.

Of the first four loggerhead nests that hatched this season, three produced hatchlings that crawled away from the Gulf.
“At least 21 hatchlings ended up in three separate swimming pools, and 10 hatchlings were found dead on Gulf Drive after crawling toward bright white lights of hotels, vacation rentals, businesses and streetlights,” according to a July 10 email

Executive Director Kristen Mazzarella, who said the hatchlings’ deaths were avoidable.
“Hatchlings rely on the natural light of the night sky over the Gulf to find their way from nest to water.

xperienced anglers know that even with their best efforts and attention to detail, luck can play a big part in their chance at success. That's what makes angling such an intriguing endeavor, one that never gets old with its interplay of tides, moon phase, barometer, wind and weather.
Ask an honest angler what they've learned over a lifetime of fishing, and you'll often hear a response like "The more I know, the
The politics of fishing
more I know how much I don't know." That's the ultimate lure of the sport, in my mind, and while you can do everything right and still not have success on any given day, there are factors that definitely affect your chances at success.
The ability to make a long and accurate cast, knowing how to spot nervous water, reading the action of feeding seabirds, and attention to details like frayed line, hook sharpness and properly tightened knots all affect our chances at success.
What's often missed in this equation is politics and how the way we vote has real-world consequences for current and, especially, future anglers.
I know I missed the importance of how my vote affected my fishing, especially in my early years. I, like many other anglers,
get my battery recharged with a day on the water. It is a reprieve from the day-to-day obligations of life. It is also a time to feel
a peaceful connection to the beauty of the natural world that Florida is so fortunate to have in abundance.
Now, more than ever, I feel the urgency to speak out on issues I would often go fishing to forget. That became crystal clear to me recently when I heard two anglers who share my passion for the sport exclaim that they didn't vote. One said he just wasn't interested in politics, and the other didn't think his vote made a difference. I was shocked to hear this and decided I needed to make the case for why this is a big mistake. Next week: the case for voting, taking part in the democratic process and how it will affect the future of fishing.

June fishing in Montana
BY CAPT. RICK GRASSETT
I hosted a group on one of my annual destination fly fishing trips to Montana recently. Richard Weintraub, Jim Kuhlman, Greg Huffman and I traveled from Sarasota to Bozeman, Montana, and met up with Dana Fogle, from DeLand, and Trevor Elmquist, from Pine Island.
We made the 2 1/2-hour drive to Medicine Lodge, on a 100,000-acre working ranch near the Beaverhead River outside of Dillon, Montana.
We met up with several other group members: Dennis Kinley, from Texas; Chad Oberson, from Sarasota; and Steve and Jeff Coburn, from Wisconsin and Colorado, who drove there. We fished the Beaverhead, Big Hole, Jefferson and Madison rivers with guide Dave King, owner of King Outfitters (406596-0209), in Dillon, Montana, and his talented group of guides, and caught some quality fish. I've fished with Dave for more than 25 years; he and his guides do a great job and they know their fishery well.
This was my first trip to Montana in June, since I'm usually busy tarpon fishing in Florida during June and July. We stayed at Montana's Medicine Lodge, on
a working ranch close to the Beaverhead River near Dillon, Montana. Chef Annie fed us well, which always adds to the experience. The June fishing was great, with more water, more options and

more dry fly fishing. We had morning temperatures in the high 30s to low 50s and highs in the 70s to low 80s, which was refreshing compared to Florida.
This year's trip was dedicated to
We fished 5- and 6-weight fly tackle and caught and released brown and rainbow trout to more than 20 inches, several grayling and a brook trout on streamers, dry flies and dry/dropper rigs. The dry fly action was often a "Chubby" on top, sometimes with a nymph or a smaller dry fly dropper, and a few other bugs. The wildlife was also plentiful; we crossed paths with deer, moose and antelope during the week. This is an annual trip for me, so if you have an interest in technical fly fishing for big trout, or if you want to learn the ropes and travel with an experienced group, please let me know.

To cut or not to cut property taxes
Two weeks ago, we celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Declara tion of Independence. Much of the conflict between Great Britain and the colonies was over taxation. Two hundred and fifty years later, the state of Florida is still fighting over taxation, only this time it’s property taxes, not tea. In November, Florida residents will be asked to vote on a change to the property tax system that would significantly overhaul the current system. If passed, many homeowners would have their taxes lowered at the potential expense of local government. The governor removed the elimination of funding for schools, making it more acceptable to voters. However, 60% of voters will need to vote for the change before it is adopted.
Castles
in the Sand
35% of the property taxes paid. Nonhomesteaded properties represent 65% of the taxes paid.
it will enhance that benefit substantially. But what about the hit that local government budgets will be taking with reduced revenue from property taxes?
As property values rose in Florida, tax bills also became larger for homesteaded homeowners – and even higher for non-homesteaded homeowners. Property taxes for homesteaded properties represent
The constitutional amendment would increase the assessment exemption on homesteaded property from the current $50,000 to $150,000 the first year, $250,000 the second year and leave the door open for potential future cuts. Non-homesteaded properties would also get a reduction on the cap on the annual increase in assessments to 5% from 10%, reducing their taxes as well.
Since Florida already benefits from an attractive real estate market because of a favorable tax policy, it’s likely if this constitutional amendment passes
Some residents will say too bad the local governments spent money irresponsibly when property values were zooming, without giving any thought to the future. That might have some truth to it but the local governments still need to pay the bills for essential services like roads and fire rescue facilities, not to mention maintenance of our beautiful beaches and parks.
So, get ready for higher fees for construction and renovation improvements which could backfire on the real estate market. The fear for local government is that they will be forced to ask the state for financial assistance risking their independence.
To complicate matters more, Gov. Ron DeSantis has announced he will not campaign to pass an amendment reducing property taxes in the state because the
measure approved by the legislature is not the amendment he proposed. He says he will vote for the measure, but he will not spend any time in his remaining months as governor encouraging others to follow his lead. He goes on to say that he thinks most people are going to be supportive of the amendment even though it does not contain his vision for a larger historic change to the property tax system.
When it comes to politics, no one is ever completely happy, including the governor of the state with the third-largest population in the country. DeSantis is fond of saying homeowners are paying increasing rent to the state in the form of property taxes on homes they already own and it’s time to put the brakes on.
No one likes to pay taxes – not us and not our forefathers. We’ve been fighting this war for 250 years and I doubt it will end this November. Most people vote for a change in their own best interest, that is why I think this amendment will pass but be careful what you wish for.

AMOB’s Dive Into Reading program celebrates 10 summers
The literacy program assists youngsters from lowincome families.
BY LESLIE LAKE SUN REPORTER | llake@amisun.com
MANATEE COUNTY – The Anna Maria Oyster Bar’s (AMOB) Dive Into Reading literacy and mentorship program has completed its 10th summer of helping elementary school students strengthen their reading skills and combat summer learning loss.
The reading program was launched in 2017 at the Ellenton AMOB location. The program reflects the commitment AMOB
CEO John Horne and his wife, Amanda, make to childhood literacy. The literacy and mentorship initiative has grown into a regional program serving students throughout Manatee and Sarasota counties.
“During its 10th summer, Dive Into Reading welcomed 373 students – supported by
volunteer mentors, educators, restaurant teams and community partners – who came together each morning over breakfast, books and encouragement,” according to a press release issued by Oysters Rock Hospitality, AMOB’s parent company.
Dive Into Reading is the recipient of funding from Oysters Rock Hospitality and its “Shuckin’ Good Cause” nonprofit entity.
Over the past 10 years, the program has expanded to 17 Title I elementary schools and six host locations, and it has welcomed more than 3,000 students.
According to the Florida Department of Education, Title I is a federally funded program that provides supplemental resources to schools with high percentages of children who come from low-income families.
This year, every student participating in the Dive Into Reading program received a backpack filled with school supplies to help them begin the new school year prepared for success.
To encourage children’s literacy, a Book Nook filled with children’s books is placed outside the AMOB restaurant on Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach.
To encourage children’s reading, a Book Nook box filled with free children’s books is placed outside each AMOB restaurant.
The Dive Into Reading program is part of Oysters Rock Hospitality’s “pillars of philanthropy” and it demonstrates that hospitality extends far beyond the dining room, the press release notes.
“By bringing together students, mentors, schools, restaurant teams and community partners, the program creates meaningful connections, while helping children return to school more confident and prepared to succeed. As Dive Into Reading celebrates its 10th summer, it remains a powerful reminder
that a warm breakfast, an open book and a caring mentor can make a lasting difference in a child’s life,” the press release says.
In partnership with the Suncoast Campaign for GradeLevel Reading, the AMOB program has grown significantly since its inception and has won recognition and awards from the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation, the School District of Manatee County and the Manatee Chamber of Commerce.
“In its first year, Dive Into Reading helped students beat the ‘summer slide’ and showed an increase in reading proficiency when they returned to school. In 2020, the program was offered virtually, via Zoom, with 75% of the participating children showing no reading loss when they returned to school,” the press release says.

BUSINESS OWNERS’ CONCERNS
Bill Diggens operates Anna Maria Jet Skis from Parrot Cove Marina in Cortez, and he ques tions why public property is being allowed for use by commercial ventures.
"The city is allowing this to transpire," Diggens said. "Why is there so much protection for these guys?"
He said his business is fully insured, which protects not only him but also the owner of the marina he launches from.
"My insurance is astronomical and difficult to obtain. We carry a million-dollar policy," Diggens said. "If somebody gets hurt over there, they'll come after the city or the county because they allowed it to happen."
Diggens said a personal guide is sent out with anyone who rents a jet ski from him, and riders must follow that guide for safety reasons and to ensure protection of environmentally sensitive areas.
"How do you compete with someone that doesn't pay rent?" Diggens asked.
He estimated his business has gone down by at least 60% in the past year.
"If we were doing 15 a day, with 12 competing companies now we're down to nothing," Diggens said.
"The jet ski industry has really taken a tank for brick-and-mortar
businesses," John Cadmus, owner of Cortez Watersports, said. "The causeway has become a carnival, and the county has allowed it."
"They get the best real estate in Manatee County to operate their business from and do not pay rent. They leave trash and they take over the same spot consistently day after day. You can't even use that boat ramp because people just park in it. They think it's theirs after a certain period," Cadmus said.
"They've been notified by the scenic highway people that they're breaking federal law, they're breaking city law and they're breaking county law. And they're still allowed to continue to operate," Cadmus said.
How do you compete with someone that doesn't pay rent?"

These watercraft were offered for rent just east of the Palma Sola Causeway Boat Ramp parking lot.
“The city will effectively be declaring that any developer can circumvent the strict 40% maximum lot coverage cap. This undermines the entire structural intent of the city’s zoning laws and stormwater protections,” she stated in her email to city officials.
In her July 10 email to The Sun, Hunt said she had not received any responses to the emails she sent to the city officials and she had not been provided with a copy of the plan-related calculations she requested. “There is nothing wrong with the code, although it appears it needs to be tightened. It is the way that the city has recently decided to interpret it. They are accepting a system provided by the developer’s engineers who are not providing flow rates and calculations to prove that huge areas of concrete are 100% pervious. When we had an engineer run the calculations based on the dimensions of the driveway, the system failed,” she wrote.
David Tatum owns a home across the street from the 242 Lakeview Drive property. On June 28, he emailed a letter to the mayor, the city planner and the building official that expressed many of the same concerns as Hunt’s letter.
“The letter addresses four specific violations, including stormwater retention failure under Ordinance 13-761, misrepresentation of rear patio materials and an unverified subsurface infiltration system under the land development code,” Tatum stated in his email. “It also raises concerns regarding the city’s broader enforcement posture and the potential impact on Anna Maria's FEMA Community Rating System classification.”
FEMA’s merit-based community rating system classification currently provides Anna Maria property owners with a 25% discount on their annual flood insurance premiums.
As of July 9, Tatum had not received a response from the city.
Brenda Twiss lives near the home at 242 Lakeview Drive. In her June 26 email to The Sun, Twiss wrote, “I have lived at my home

on Lakeview Drive for 26 years and until the last few years, the house had never flooded. However, I have had flooding from inches to several feet four separate times in the last few years. I understand Helene caused one flooding, but the other ones were from poor drainage. It is concerning that when I go past the newly constructed house and see pretty much concrete covering the ground, along with tile, that this house will most likely cause more flooding. I live very close to the new home.”
CITY’S RESPONSE
On June 27, Short sent The Sun an email that said, “The city has been working with the contractor regarding this matter and the city is awaiting a response from the contractor on some items that were identified through the inspection process.
The certified engineered plans that were submitted to the city met our drainage and impervious coverage requirements and were certified by an engineer. However, there are some deviations between the plans and actual work that the city has requested be remedied.”
On July 2, Gillette sent The Sun an email that said, “We are working on addressing all of the items listed in the email that came from Nicky Hunt.”
BUILDERS’ RESPONSE
On July 3, Ryan Moss sent The Sun an email that said, “The house and driveway and yard meet the specific state and local codes. The pervious driveway system was designed by a licensed engineer and approved and inspected and passed inspection by the city of Anna Maria. This system, and other similar systems, are used in Anna Maria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach.”
That same day, Jim Moss stated via text message, “As Island family residents since the early 1940s, we love and respect the Island. We are very proud and thankful to be building new homes and doing renovations.”
He noted it’s illegal to trespass on a construction site.
