five things you should know about boat insurance Are you ready to embark on your next on-water adventure? Before you set sail, here are five things to know about boat insurance.

1. Boat insurance isn’t just for accidents With comprehensive coverage, you’ll also be protected financially for theft, vandalism, and unexpected events like storms if you need repairs or replacements due to damage.

4. Most lenders require boat insurance If you financed your boat, you’ll likely need boat insurance since most lenders require boat insurance to protect their investment. Additionally, some marinas or municipalities require proof of insurance for docking.

2. Accidents can happen to anyone When accidents happen, boat insurance offers liability coverage for damages or injuries you cause while boating, up to specified limits. It can also cover lawsuit costs if you’re sued.

5. Progressive offers specialized boat coverages Ever worry about getting stuck on the water? Progressive’s Sign & Glide® On-Water Towing coverage** can help. It’s an additional coverage that steps in if your boat is disabled or breaks down on the water, paying for on-water towing, jump starts, soft ungroundings, and fuel delivery. Fuel cost isn’t included.

3. Boat insurance can cover medical payments Boat insurance offers a range of optional medical payments coverage limits, helping to cover medical expenses if you’re in an accident or someone is hurt on your boat, regardless of fault.

Don’t let unforeseen circumstances disrupt your voyage. Cruise with confidence thanks to Progressive Boat insurance. Because when it comes to your boat, peace of mind is the ultimate luxury.

Snook Season Must Haves

F

CAPT. MIKE SMITH

inally, September is here and everyone’s favorite inshore fish is back on the menu. This article will cover the best bait and tackle to hunt down slot-sized linesiders. Check your local rules and regulations before keeping any snook. You can do jail time and get heavy fines by harvesting under- and over-slot snook.

WHAT TACKLE DO YOU NEED TO CATCH A KEEPER SNOOK?

It really depends upon where you are fishing for them. If you are out on the flats or on the beach, then you can get away with lighter tackle. You can land a slot snook with a medium-action rod, a 2500 series reel spooled with 10 pound braid and a 30 pound leader. You don’t need heavy tackle when there is no structure around to get cut off on. If you are fishing for snook around docks, bridges, rocks, mangroves or oyster bars, then you might want to use heavier tackle. A medium/ heavy rod with a 4000 series reel spooled with 20 pound braid and a 40 pound leader will usually do the trick.

WHAT ARE THE BEST BAITS FOR CATCHING SNOOK?

Natural baits usually work the best for snook. Snook love croakers, pinfish, mullet, shrimp and white baits like threadfin herring. The key to using natural baits is using the correct sized hook for the bait that you are using. You wouldn’t want to use a 5/0 hook with a shrimp or a white bait because it’s too heavy to allow the bait to swim. You would want to use a 1/0 or 2/0 hook for those smaller baits. Conversely, you would not want to use a small hook for a large, 10-inch mullet. The small hook would most likely not set properly once the snook ate it. You would want to use a 5/0 or larger hook for a large mullet. You want to match your hook to the bait

size, not the size of the fish that you are trying to catch.

WHAT ARE THE BEST LURES FOR SEPTEMBER SNOOK?

The best thing about September is the mullet run typically begins about then. Millions of mullet will flood the inshore and offshore waters of Florida; a little later for Georgia and the Carolinas. Every marine predator will be gorging themselves on these delicious baits. Mullet imitations of varying sizes will be a good bet when the schools are passing through. The key is to match the size of the mullet in your area. Mullet within the schools might range from 15 inches down to 4-inch finger mullet. Large topwater lures work great around the outer parts of the schools. My personal favorites are Heddon’s Super Zara Spooks in pearl white, but oftentimes they will hit any color that mimics the size and profile of the fish they are feeding on correctly. Another great choice is the D.O.A. Bait Buster Shallow Runner. This is a soft plastic topwater/ subsurface lure that perfectly matches 4- to 5-inch mullet. Go get ’em. Capt. Mike Smith, owner of Fish Your Ass Off Charters, has been fishing the inshore waters, oyster bars and grass flats of Florida for more than 40 years.

FISHING FORECAST with CAPT. JOT

eptember is the month of change; summer starts to wind down and fall starts to show itself. I personally really like to fish in September, warm days, a little less humidity, much less boat traffic and best of all; great fishing! Also, during September, the mullet run starts to get going, this always helps the fishing! And last, but not least September 1st to the 14th 2026 is North Carolina Flounder Season!! Let’s talk Flounder... September is one of the better Flounder months for NC. Working with live bait or artificial lures are both good ways to catch flounder. Live bait is good for catching higher numbers of Flounder, but not always as many larger size flounder in my opinion. Mud minnows, and small finger mullet will be the best live baits for Flounder in September. I prefer to cast artificial lures when flounder fishing. Rigging the live bait on carolina rigs with in #1 or 1/0 size L42 Eagle claw hooks is a good choice of rigs for Flounder. If you prefer to use artificial baits, I do see bigger size flounders more often on lures. Scented soft plastics work well in clear or stained water. Berkley Gulp Jerkshad in five and six inch in colors new penny, pearl white, fire tiger, and chart pepper neon are all good too. Darker colors like root beer gold and fire tiger (bright but not bright?) in stained/dirty waters seem to work better to get more bites. I like the Berkley Bonga Shrimp series as well for flounder fishing. I rig all these soft plastic lures on Berkley Fusion Jig head in 1/4oz, 3/8oz and 1/2oz weights in colors red, gray, or white. Bucktails tipped with Gulp work well for ocean flounder fishing, I prefer Berkley Fusion Bucktails in 1oz, 1.5oz or 2oz. The new Berkley Gulp Dragon tail is great to use as the trailer on a bucktail. Leaders Berkley Pro Spec fluorocarbon in 40 (inshore) or 50 pound (ocean). Lure presentation, slow steady jigging, not to hard on the jerk. Just enough to get the lure off the bottom, but making sure the lure gets back to the bottom every time between jigging. Look for the bigger flounder around deeper docks with good current, with bait fish and lots of structure inshore. The inlets, offshore reef and ledges are all good places to find warm weather flounder. What do all these places have in common; deeper water, bait, current and structure. Do not forget to look for the clearest water possible and when fishing very stained/dirty water slow down your presentation of the bait and use darker color lures. Capt. Jot is a full time inshore & near shore fishing guide. He has fished southeast NC for over twenty-eight years, around the waters of Wilmington and Wrightsville beach.

lack Drum can be found inside right now around the area bridges, docks and deepwater oyster rocks and structure. Cut shrimp is a sure thing. Speckled trout are coming from a lot of the same areas including drop offs and pot holes inshore. I like throwing a MirrOlure She pup, Saltwater Assassin curly tail under a Fourhorsemen Oval Cork and good ol 17 MR for the September specks. September is one of my favorite months for redfish. The shrimp are larger and on the move and the red drum are gorging themselves on the abundant shrimp and baitfish. We are throwing gold spoons, topwater plugs and various Saltwater Assassin plastics at the slot reds.

FISHING FORECAST with CAPT. SHANE GENTRY Nanny’s Revenge Fishing Charter • 910-467-6901

I

f you’re looking for water temperatures, moon phases, and enough technical information to make your head spin, there are plenty of places to find that. This column isn’t going to be one of them. My goal is simple: share what I’m seeing on the water, what’s actually working, and hopefully get more people excited about getting offshore. Whether you’ve fished your whole life or you’re just thinking about booking your first trip, this column is for you. A little about me... I’m Capt. Shane Gentry, owner of Nanny’s Revenge Fishing Charter, based in Morehead City, North Carolina. Believe it or not, I’ve only been running charters for about a year and a half. That probably surprises some people because this isn’t something I got into on a whim. It’s something I’ve dreamed about for years. The name Nanny’s Revenge means everything to me. “Nanny” was my mom. Cancer took her far too soon, and this boat is my way of making sure she still gets to ride along every single day. Every time I pull away from the dock, she’s part of the trip. Life’s too short to spend waiting for “someday.” That’s a big reason I pursued a second career to chase this dream. Every sunrise over the Atlantic reminds me I made the right decision. As well, it’s so important to realize that I am as excited about fishing as YOU ARE!! Over the coming months, we’ll talk about the fishing that’s happening right here off the Crystal Coast. We’ll cover offshore trolling for mahi, wahoo and tuna, reef and wreck fishing, and one of my biggest passions—Deep Drop Slow Pitch Jigging. If you’ve never heard of slow pitch jigging, don’t worry. I promise by the end of this series you’ll understand why so many of us become completely addicted to it. There’s nothing quite like feeling that unmistakable thump hundreds of feet below the boat and knowing you’ve fooled a fish into eating a piece of metal you worked by hand. We’ll also talk about the days that don’t go according to plan. Fishing isn’t always easy, and that’s part of what makes the great days so special. I’ll share the wins, the lessons, and maybe even a few mistakes along the way. You’ll always be able to count on the integrity of this column. We will celebrate those epic days and have a good chuckle at those days that remind us that no matter how much planning or how many apps you have on your phone, we are not in control. We will take the Trophies and Groceries when MAMA OCEAN allows it. Most of all, I hope this column reminds you why we all started fishing in the first place. It’s not always about filling the cooler. It’s about watching the sun come up with friends and family. It’s hearing a drag scream. It’s celebrating someone’s first fish. It’s creating stories you’ll still be telling years from now. As charter captains, we can get caught up in the “job” and it’s an important goal of this article to remember that each client that comes on your boat and catches that first fish or has an incredible experience, you are now a small part of that person’s story, FOREVER! The story of “the one that got away” or the story they tell their family about how they caught the very fish they are sharing for dinner that night will be told for years to come. I’m honored to have the opportunity to share this journey with you each month. Until next time...Life’s short. Go fishing. Stand By for FUN! COASTALANGLERMAG.COM • THEANGLERMAG.COM

Fishing the Wild Waters of

Cay Sal Bank By A. deGruchy

O

ur Cay Sal trip started at Cat Cay, just south of Bimini, where we checked into the Bahamas before heading south in a 47foot Freeman. Once you leave Bimini behind, the water keeps getting better. Cay Sal Bank is remote, beautiful and surrounded by the kind of bright blue tropical water that makes you want to stop the boat and jump in. The fishing was just as good as the scenery. We fished everything from shallow reefs in about 50 feet of water to deep drops reaching nearly 1,500 feet. On the reef, we caught yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, rock hinds and several other types of grouper. You never really knew what was going to eat next, which kept things fun. Our main setup was Penn International VISX reels paired with custom Connolly rods. We mostly used chicken rigs baited with squid. We also used a ton of virtual jigs. The deep water was one of the coolest parts of the trip. Dropping a bait more than 1,000 feet takes some patience, but it is always exciting when the rod finally loads up. We caught mystic grouper, yelloweye snapper and queen snapper. Watching one of those bright red deepwater fish come into view after a long fight never gets old. We also found tuna and mahi while moving between spots and fishing along the deeper edges of the bank. Out there, you always have to keep an eye out for birds, current lines or floating debris because the action can happen fast. Cay Sal is not only about fishing. We spent time snorkeling, exploring

the reefs and checking out the area’s historic lighthouses. The water was incredibly clear, and it was great to take a break from fishing and see everything below the surface. The lighthouses also give the trip a little bit of history. Being that far from land, surrounded by reefs and open water, really makes you appreciate how wild and remote the area is. A trip like this takes planning. Cay Sal is a long way from help, so having a capable boat, experienced crew, plenty of fuel, reliable navigation and the right safety equipment is important. The 47-foot Freeman gave us the speed, range and room we needed to explore comfortably. Between the reef fishing, deep dropping, tuna, mahi, snorkeling and tropical scenery, Cay Sal delivered a little bit of everything. It is the kind of place where every stop feels like a new adventure, and you never know what might come up on the next drop.

The September Season of Change TIM BAREFOOT

T NORTH CAROLINA’S TWO-WEEK RECREATIONAL FLOUNDER SEASON OPENS SEPTEMBER 1

N

orth Carolina anglers will get a short window to target flounder this fall when the state’s 2026 recreational harvest season opens September 1. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will open the 2026 recreational flounder harvest season from September 1 through September 14 in Inland Fishing Waters and Joint Fishing Waters. Anglers may harvest flounder by hook and line during the two-week season. The regulations allow anglers to keep one flounder per day, with a minimum size limit of 15 inches. The limited season is part of North Carolina’s ongoing effort to carefully manage its flounder fishery while still providing recreational anglers with an opportunity to harvest the popular coastal species. The season and regulations are consistent with the state’s flounder fishery management measures. Anglers should be aware that the season applies specifically to the waters and fishing methods covered by the Wildlife Commission’s regulations. With only two weeks available, anglers hoping to put flounder in the cooler will want to plan ahead. As always, checking the latest regulations before heading out is recommended, particularly for anglers fishing waters where jurisdiction can change. For North Carolina’s flounder fishermen, September 1 marks the beginning of a short but highly anticipated opportunity to get back after one of the state’s most popular coastal game fish.

he middle to end of September is when we should start getting our first good cold fronts. This will start to change the surface temperature and begin the mass migration of cigar minnows and sardines to the traditional nearshore spawning grounds. This will trigger the migration of a lot of the pelagic and bottom fish that are following these huge schools of bait. September is also the height of hurricane season, which can change things drastically, but we always work around that. Hopefully it will be like last year with a minimal amount of hurricanes. Of course we are hoping for zero hurricanes, but we’ll see what happens. September is always the month of surprises with wahoo and yellow tuna very close to the beach in and around big schools of bait. This is also the time of year when the bottom fishing starts to kick into gear. You can expect the best snapper fishing of the year for the next couple months, and certainly the grouper action is just starting to take off. Some of the best scamp bites I’ve ever been on have been in September. I understand that it takes precious time away from the fishing day, but I would strongly suggest spending the first hour or more catching live cigar minnows and sardines. Certainly, I always take two boxes of frozen cigar minnows in case “Plan A” doesn’t work out. Yes they will eat frozen cigars, however, a live one is an instant bite they cannot deny. If you have at least two people on the Sabiki and you get into decent schools of minnows, you will quickly put 100 baits in a live-well in an hour. This will definitely pay dividends. September is also the time of year to go to the edge to bottom fish and keep someone specifically in charge of the light line. Depending on the current, you may not need a float, but if there is not much current, a float tackle is always a good idea. Again, don’t be surprised if there’s not a wahoo bite on the light line. Blackfin and dolphin are given the light line and if they don’t want frozen cigar minnows, a whole squid is an excellent choice. Dolphin simply cannot swim by a whole (frozen) squid on the light line. The bottom line is this…bag all the trolling and go sit on some pretty bottom. Put some baits out on the light line behind a boat and let the fish come to you. Cut off the motors and the radio and listen to the beauty of the ocean and reels screaming. Sound travels long distances underwater, and the fish are very much aware of you if you’re making a bunch of noise, so don’t slam cooler lids or stomp around the deck, and don’t have the music rumbling. Make sure that everyone on board has good raincoat. Please take your children fishing and take plenty of photos and videos they will remember forever.

CAPITALIZING On the Summer-to-Fall Transition T

By Pro Bass Angler Joey Bloom

he transition from summer into fall is a great time of the year to chase bass. It’s also one of the most misunderstood. A lot of anglers assume bass immediately flood the backs of creeks as soon as the calendar says fall, but that’s rarely the case. What really gets the transition rolling is a combination of shorter days, cooling water temperatures, and one of the biggest factors of all— heavy rainfall. After weeks of hot, stable summer conditions, a good stretch of rain can completely change a lake overnight. Rising water levels flood fresh cover, increase current, and wash nutrients into the system. That fresh influx of water attracts baitfish, and wherever the bait goes, the bass aren’t far behind. One of the first places I look after heavy rains is newly flooded shoreline cover. Bushes, grass lines, willow trees, laydowns and isolated wood suddenly become prime ambush points. Bass move shallow because they now have fresh cover to hide in and an endless buffet of bluegill, shad, crawfish and other forage moving into these areas. My approach during this transition is to cover water until I locate active fish. That’s where the Bait Cave Customs Bloom Shad really shines. Its realistic baitfish profile perfectly imitates the young-of-the-year shad that become abundant this

time of year. Whether I’m rigging it on a Big Daddy Baits jighead, fishing it weightless around flooded cover, or using it as a trailer on a vibrating jig, the Bloom Shad consistently produces bites from bass feeding on roaming schools of bait. As I narrow down productive areas, I slow my presentation with one of my favorite confidence baits—the Bait Cave Customs Zora. This versatile soft plastic urchin style bait is the hottest bait craze on the water anywhere. During the summer-tofall transition, bass often position around the first available piece of cover just outside spawning flats or creek channels before making a full migration into the backs of creeks. The Zora allows me to thoroughly pick apart those high-percentage areas. Another overlooked factor after heavy rains is water color. While many anglers avoid stained or muddy water, I actually embrace it. Bass become more comfortable moving shallow in reduced visibility, allowing anglers to get much closer without spooking them. I simply adjust my bait colors to match the conditions—natural shad colors in cleaner water and darker, high-contrast colors when visibility is limited. Current also becomes a major player. Water flowing through creek channels, around bridge crossings, or across points positions bass in predictable feeding locations. Even subtle current can turn an average stretch of bank into a feeding

frenzy, so always pay attention to where the water is moving. The key during the summer-to-fall transition is staying flexible. Bass are constantly relocating, and conditions can change daily. Keep an eye on rising water levels, follow the bait, and don’t be afraid to fish newly flooded cover that wasn’t in the water just days before. For me, having confidence in proven baits like the Bait Cave Customs Bloom Shad and the Zora makes adapting to changing conditions much easier. When heavy rains begin to raise the lake and fall starts knocking on the door, that’s when some of the biggest bass of the season become catchable. Stay mobile, trust what the conditions are telling you, and you’ll be ready to capitalize on one of the most exciting transitions of the year.
