Friends Andy Ball and Brent Milgrom pose with two large red drum they caught at the Winyah jetties. By Erin Weeks, SCDNR hen Charlotte resident Andy Ball headed to the South Carolina coast for a summer escape he caught a red drum that was tagged 21 years ago. Since the 1970s, SCDNR biologists have operated a volunteer tagging program whereby recreational anglers can turn their fishing trips into valuable scientific information by tagging the fish they catch and release. Using a specialized tagging device, researchers
W
and anglers insert the tag into the muscle of a fish by the dorsal fin. Harmless to the fish, the tags can remain anchored there for decades as the fish grows. Andy Ball contacted SCDNR’s tagging coordinator, Morgan Hart, to report the tag number and details of the red drum he’d recaptured. Every time a tagged fish is reported, Hart sends detailed updates about the fish’s history to both the original taggers and the recapturers. It’s a neat way to see where a particular fish has traveled since you last saw it. When Hart ran the fish’s history, she was amazed. It had been tagged over 21 years prior. “I could tell right away that the tag report was special,” Hart said. “The tag number was different than anything I had seen recaptured before. Once I realized how long ago it was tagged, I think my mouth literally fell open. “I reached out to the original tagger, Kevin Mischke, and he was delighted to hear that one of his fish was still contributing to the population.” Mischke was an active volunteer tagger from 1990 to 2006. In 1997, he’d caught a large red drum at Wappoo Cut, near his home on James Island. Mischke tagged the fish with a yellow, nylon tag labeled ‘A033559.’ When Mischke caught it, the red drum was already a mature fish at 35 inches—meaning it is now likely to be well older than 21 years of age. SCDNR research has shown red drum are impressively long-lived fish, with biologists documenting fish up to 40 years old. A decade later, redfish ‘A033559’ showed up once again in the records, when angler Warren Wood caught and measured the fish in 2008. By this time, the red drum had grown five inches and migrated to Georgetown, where Wood reported catching it off the Winyah Bay jetties. And that’s exactly where Andy Ball caught the fish this summer – no larger this time, but another decade older.

A
permit for construction of a new artificial reef off Oregon Inlet could be approved within months, and Outer Banks anglers are happy to hear it. According to a report from the Coastal Review online, the project has been almost three years in the making since the nonprofit Oregon Inlet Artificial Reef Committee formed to apply for funding from the Division of Marine Fisheries. With an $887,000 grant, the stage is set for a proposed two-year project to construct a reef south of the Oregon Inlet Sea Buoy. The project is being funded primarily through the state’s Coastal Recreational Fishing License Grants Program. The plan calls for a 100- to 140-foot vessel as well as 8,000 tons of concrete pipes to be sunk within state waters less than 10 miles south of Oregon Inlet. Recreational anglers and charter captains will reap the benefits of enhanced habitat for decades to come.

T
he Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) is calling on Canada to enact new management measures to reduce the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence striped bass population. “It’s important that Canadian government leaders from across the country understand what’s happening in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and especially on the Miramichi River,” said ASF president Bill Taylor. “DFO has taken incremental steps, but more is needed to restore balance for all species.” Striped bass are native to the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence and were once considered threatened. All fisheries were closed by 2000, and a recovery target of 31,200 spawning adults was established. That goal has now been exceeded for eight consecutive years. Recent estimates show between 500,000 and 2-million striped bass spawn annually in the Miramichi. “We have clearly shown this concentration of striped bass is having severe negative effects on wild Atlantic salmon,” said Taylor. Since 2003, ASF and partners like the Miramichi Salmon Association have been tracking juvenile Atlantic salmon, known as smolt, in three Gulf of St. Lawrence rivers. Initially, 65-75 percent of tagged smolt survived migration through the estuary of each river. Survival rates on the Restigouche and Cascapedia rivers have remained stable, but a downward trend began in 2011 on the Miramichi, coinciding with the sharp rise in striped bass. Less than 10 percent of smolt tagged in the Northwest Miramichi River survived to reach the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2017. The lower Northwest Miramichi is where the entire southern Gulf of St. Lawrence striped bass population gathers to spawn each spring. At the same time, smolt are migrating to the ocean.
It's been an unbelievable year and we would like to say a big "Thank You" to all our customers and dealers for helping make it happen! Let's make 2019 even better!

Book a Charter for Christmas!
M
erry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Ya All!
See that I said “Ya Allâ€? instead of “You Guysâ€?! The south is wearing on me. Just booked a December 21st charter group which is awesome this time of year. I know a lot of you have traded in your fishing poles for your guns and started hunting. You do realize you’re missing the best fishing of the year right now. I know you’re thinking I winterized the boat and stowed the gear, but I really do miss the feel of a big red on the end of my line! What’s a person to do now‌.book a charter! Sure, you own your own boat, but think about it, is it worth the $400-$500 to go out on a half day trip? Let’s talk about that for a minute and think it through. First off is the cost of a charter too much? Not really. Let’s face it your cost on your own boat for fuel, bait, etc. is $100 to $150. Then there’s wear and tear on your gear and boat. Getting up early in the cold and dealing with the busy boat ramp, cleaning the fish, cleaning the boat and usually footing the
bill for all your friends and family! Instead how about just show up, with your drinks and food, fish, have fun, get off the boat go home and eat the fish you caught! Simple, fun and you don’t have to deal with your boat in the cold. Besides now you may get your buddies to split the cost with you and not feel bad about it! Let’s face it you still want to go fish some days but just don’t want the hassle. So, it’s time for all you fishermen to ask for something from the family for Christmas, why not do what you love to do and just enjoy the trip and get a Charter Trip Gift Certificate! Or, if you have kids, buy them a trip. There’s so many Captains right now that are finally slowing down enough that you can grab a charter any day of the week at an off season rate and even pick your weather day. Here’s some pointers that we have figured out after years of taking clients out which can help make a good day a great day. 1. Do a little research and find the Captain and crew that sound right to you. 2. Cheapest is not always the best, ask for referrals. 3. Go to reviews on the web, but more important ask your friends who they like. The internet is great but keep in mind that reviews are not the be all end all. Let’s face it people can write whatever they want even if they had a bad day because they had to touch the bait or got a hang nail. Can’t make everyone happy all the time. 4. Use a quality fishing site like www. fishingbooker.com as they vet and qualify their Captains and crews.
5. Set the expectations before you go. Clarify what you want to fish for, what experience you have, are you bringing kids along and any other questions or concerns before you book. 6. What should you bring, what do they supply, do they clean the fish or do you. 7. Are they licensed and insured. 8. Do they like to teach you how to fish or they expect you to know everything. 9. Are they entertaining or are they boat drivers. Do they want your money or a longterm client and friend. 10. And my favorite, realize that Captains and crews are like great waiters at a great restaurant they depend on their tips to make a living! So, 15% to 20% is customary, even if they are the boat owners, as the cost of being competitively priced does not allow for much profit. Tip like you went to Ruth’s Chris not like the $1 you leave at Golden Corral. All kidding aside once you find a great Captain and crew you will sometimes find yourself booking a charter in the middle of the summer just because you want to enjoy the trip without the hassle of using your own boat. Some of our best clients have become some of our greatest friends. Until next year, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

erry Christmas everyone! I know what you’re thinking here we go again another nonfishing article, but I went over that last month, so just sit back, drink a cup of coffee, beer, or whiskey and read away. You will get the point of this article soon enough. The dictionary defines the word legacy as “a gift of will usually money or personal property”, but not all legacies need to be an object. Some people pass on with nothing but memories and lessons to leave behind. You have read many articles from us about the stories of my one Grandfather (Grandpa Nick). He was the original fisherman of the family. He passed the love of fishing onto us, which is his legacy. As I started to think about this Christmas time article I thought about my other Grandfather (Pa). We spent the holidays at his (and my Gram’s) house. Honestly growing up if we weren’t fishing
we were there. So, I thought what was his legacy, what lesson, what memories did he leave me with? He was a loving man who was dedicated to God and his family! I have memories and stories with him I could share but I would need a lot more pages in this issue. Most of the time he was in his TV room on a lounge chair. Sometimes when I visit I forget that he’s gone until I walk pass that room and see the empty chair. But he’s not the only thing missing from that room because every time I would sit in there with him watching TV, I would look up at a set of shelves and what was sitting there is no longer there, a set of Budweiser Porcelain Horses, and the reason they are no longer there is because they now sit in my living room! You may think that the horses are the legacy, but they are not. The horses themselves mean nothing but the memories that I think about with him when I look at the
horses those memories mean everything, they are my Pa’s legacy. So, what’s my point? As you spend Christmas together as a family, forget about everything else, forget the world around you and focus on making a legacy. Focus on building memories whether it’s fishing, hunting, or just conversations around the TV, make every moment a lasting one. I have three sons and I may leave this world broke with nothing but a pile of fishing poles and old boats, but I hope to leave them with a legacy of how to be leaders, to be men of God, to work hard for what they want, never go to bed angry or sad, don’t judge, find a strong wife who will walk with you not behind you or in front of you and I hope I leave them with enough love and memories to last a lifetime. Some of you may be wealthy, some of you may be leaving behind houses, cars, and money, but I promise you that eventually even
if it’s decades down the road the house will crumble, the car will rust away, the money will be gone and with no objects left no one will remember your name, but if you leave a lasting impression on people they will remember you for generations. As always, I wish you calm winds, tight lines and following seas.
With love and respect. Capt. Kyle Masiero

On The River with Matt Varnadore 4 Elm St · Conway, SC (843) 488-3121 or (843) 248-1713 Merry Christmas! I hope you are just as excited about the holiday season as I am. I must say this is one of my most favorite times of the year. I wanted to take some time to talk a little about what we have going on at Waccamaw Outfitters. We have added 2 new offerings to our list. We are now offering kayak tours out of Murrells Inlet and are looking forward to exploring the beauty of the Inlet and showing our visitors all it has to offer. Also, we have started a Kayak 101 class for people who have never experienced the sport. Our classes will be held in the indoor pool at the Conway Recreation Department. This will offer a safe and controlled environment to learn the ins and outs of kayaking. I was never much of a kayaker until I started our business and I must admit I was missing out. Kayaking offers such a different perspective and can be way more enjoyable. Besides exploring I have found that fishing from a kayak is so much fun. Now I know there are a lot of folks out there who are avid kayakers and kayak fishermen who are probably saying “duh” as they read this, but I have just started so give me a break. The thrill of getting into small secluded places and landing a fish that you probably never would have if you were in a boat is so much fun. Also, being so close to the water when bringing the fish in is a small thrill for me as well. I have even got my two boys into kayak fishing because they can take off with a kayak with little to no trouble at all. No matter your skill level I recommend stepping outside your box like I did and give kayaking a try. Kayaking gives you an entirely different experience than conventional boating. You will see your normal waters in a different light when you try it. If you are not comfortable with going alone or not sure as how to go about kayaking come take our class. We will teach you the basics of kayaking and once you complete the course we can sign you up for one of our open water tours so you can test out your new skill. Trust me it is a lot of fun and the course can answer a lot of questions and hopefully squash any fears you may have had. Again, we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and please take some time to enjoy family and friends. As for us we are going to enjoy Christmas while On the River.

Sponsored by Legacy Charters Sugarloaf Key Islands’ backcountry fisheries Let’s change pace a bit! After you feast on flaky snapper meat in the Marquesas, head east to the Sugarloaf Keys. Here you will find a maze of mangrove cuts, flats and creeks rich in fish. It’s scenic, it’s quiet and there’s plenty of fish. You can explore these waters from a skiff, or if you aren’t afraid of working out, you can hop into a kayak or canoe. If it’s windy offshore, you can always catch fish around these sheltered channels. Most of these mangrove cuts are only a couple of feet deep. Every now and then you will come across some deeper holes, up to depths of 20 feet. Before you head into these meandering mangrove cuts, fish for pilchards on the flats. Here you will find clear waters, so you can sight fish for snook, tarpon, and permit. You can also run into jack crevalle, bonnethead sharks and some snapper. Stock
up on squid and pinfish, and you should have no trouble getting the bite. The Cudjoe Key channels are fit for a king Each island in the Florida Keys has good fishing opportunities. Some places attract most of the anglers who look for tried and proven fishing spots. But you should also try the spots that don’t make it to the headlines. The channels of Cudjoe Key hold some of the best fishing in the Keys. You won’t regret coming here. Non-local anglers often overlook these flats, mangrove islands and channels. But you shouldn’t, as you can reel in snapper, grouper, bonefish, permit, tarpon and jacks. These channels are often shallow, so great for sight fishing. You might come across deep, wide cuts where sunken boats and other debris make for a hot fishing spot. Plus, these mangrove islands and rich vegetation protect the
channels from the wind. This means you’ll be able to get out even when other spots are not accessible. You can go drift fishing near the shoreline or sight fishing around the flats. Its calm waters make the Cudjoe Key channels popular among kayak anglers. Rent a ‘yak and explore the murky deep waters. Your best bait here are mullet, crab, and shrimp. They are a food of choice for all the game fish around. If you like action, these channels will give you a chase to remember. Sharks and barracuda often forage these waters. Get ready! Bahia Honda Bridge: monster tarpon galore If you want to try something Floridian, then you must fish for tarpon around the Bahia Honda Bridge. No other place in Florida boasts as many “silver kings”. The channel between the Old Bahia Honda bridge and the Overseas Highway is the deepest inshore fishery in the Keys. The waters drop from 18 to 25 feet and offer some of the best bridge fishing in the Florida Keys. There is a lot of food moving
COASTALANGLERMAG.COM • THE ANGLERMAG.COM
between the bridge pylons, and the pilings serve as a good shelter for the game fish. As you warm up before getting to tarpon business, you can hook into permit, sheepshead, mutton snapper and hammerhead sharks.Tarpon swarm these waterways as part of their migration northward. They weigh between 70 and 130 lbs on average, though anglers have pulled in fish bigger than that. For your best chances at success, use crabs as bait – it works like a charm. What’s great about this worldfamous fishery is that Tarpon are in the water throughout the day. No reason to get up early – you can spend your morning snorkeling or enjoying the rich wildlife of Big Pine Key’s Blue Hole, then come here for a brawl! See You Next Month With Part 3 !

Winter is here but the Trout bite is strong and look for it to stay that way, using live shrimp on popping corks is the go-to method but they are also hitting well using DOA or Gulp shrimp. Reds and Black Drum are still hitting well on the Jetties using mullet or live shrimp is the best option for Reds, using dead shrimp or squid is the go-to for Black Drum. Offshore the wahoo bite is on and going well.
Trout bite is doing great throughout the entire Inlet. Still picking Flounder here and there by slow trolling Mud Minnows. The Black Drum and Reds are also biting along the Jetties on live shrimp using Carolina Rigs. Offshore the bottom fishing is doing great bigger Seabass have moved in a little closer, along with Snapper. On the troll it’s Wahoo season and the bite is on fire.
The winter months are rough on the pier and surf. Reds are being caught in the surf using cut mullet. The piers are reporting that whiting are still biting well using squid or dead shrimp.

n a recent fishing trip, the first three casts of the morning produced three fish. That’s pretty outstanding. Three pitches…three fish. Under normal circumstances I would be gleeful, and possibly even do a little bragging, but those three fish were all gafftop sailcats. And it just so happened that I wasn’t fishing for saltwater catfish. Instead, I was targeting speckled trout. But for the first couple hours that morning, all I seemed to be able to catch were what many people call ‘Trash Fish’. Sailcats, Ladyfish, Lizardfish, Stingrays, Toadfish and a Sea Robin. I think I caught every one of them. Now, I don’t know exactly who came up with the monicker “Trash Fish” for these species. Probably someone who didn’t
appreciate the tarpon-like jumps of a Ladyfish, or the dragscreaming runs of a big sailcat or stingray. Or the uniquely interesting leg-like pectoral fins of a Sea Robin. Actually, I’d put a couple of those in the “Mostvaluable” category. A Lizardfish is probably one of the best baits you can use to catch monster gag grouper. Ladyfish are a preferred bait for catching tarpon, spinner sharks, and bull redfish. There are some Trash Fish that inhabit the freshwater environs as well. Ever caught an Alligator Gar? Most folks put them in the Trash I don’t. The fight like crazy. They jump. And they look really dangerous when you get them close to the boat. Hundreds of very sharp teeth on that long snout that will mess up your day.
A lot of people consider carp to be a Trash Fish. But if you ever plan to fly fish for bonefish or redfish, carp are one of the best sparring partners you’ll ever find. Carp will cruise the flats of our inland rivers and reservoirs and will do just about everything bones and reds will do. It’s a great way to practice your casting prowess, stealth and retrieves. Plus, when you get a carp to take your fly, it’s a fight like you’ve never seen before. Trash? I don’t think so. If there’s one fish that probably deserves the status of Trash Fish, that would be the Toadfish. Not especially pretty to look at. Their jaws and small teeth can do some real damage to your fingers. They don’t put up much of a fight. And they’re not terribly good on the table. At least that’s what I’ve heard. I can’t honestly remember ever being served toadfish…or being hungry enough to try to cook one that I’ve caught. By the way, they also call the toadfish a “Mother-In-Law Fish”. Someone must have been really mad at their Mom-in-law to brand the
COASTALANGLERMAG.COM • THE ANGLERMAG.COM
toadfish with that name. Now that I’ve reflected on the subject, I am considering removing several of the aforementioned species from my own personal Trash Fish list. For me, any fish that puts up a great fight, offers some aerial acrobatics or drag-screaming runs deserves its rightful place as a sport fish. But I think the Toadfish will always remain a little bit on the trashy side.

ow, what a feast. If you are like me, I think I gain a few pounds over the holiday season. I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving holiday. We all have a lot to be thankful for. For me, I am thankful for my family and the life I lead. Of course, I am thankful to have the ability to kayak fish. However, with the up coming changes in the weather there will need to be changes in your approach to kayak fishing or you may find yourself in a very life threating situation. With that said, maybe the extra pounds you put on around the holidays could be a benefit. As we head into the Winter, there is no need to put up the kayak. Fishing will continue to be good well into winter and even then, you can still find fish. However, you need to be prepared for those cold days ahead. Not only in the presentation of your bait and locations you fish but more importantly you need to be physically prepared. There are numerous dangers you may encounter while
kayaking in cold weather. You add water and wind to the equation and it only takes minuets before you are in dire straits.! The most common misunderstanding about cold water immersion is that it leads to immediate Hypothermia. The truth is, there are other serious events that occur long before hypothermia sets in. There are phases of cold-water immersion: Cold Shock Response is the first phase and has three areas of concern. The first is the gasp reflex in response to rapid skin cooling. If this happens while submerged, you may breathe water into your lungs and drown. Hence, another reason why you should always wear a PFD. This only last for about a 1 minute. Shortly after the gasp is hyperventilation. Prolonged rapid breathing may cause you to faint. You need to concentrate on slowing your breathing. Lastly during this phase is vasoconstriction. A
narrowing of the arteries that
makes the heart work harder. For those with heart condition, this may lead to a heart attack. Cold Incapacitation is the second phase. As the name suggest, within 5-10 minutes of being submerged blood is pulled from your extremities and you are virtually incapacitated and cannot use your feet, legs or arms and therefore sink. Again, the importance of a PFD. Hypothermia is the third phase. There is a misconception that hypothermia happens within a few minutes when actually it takes about thirty minutes to become mildly hypothermic. Just knowing this can help in a survival situation. With that said, if you are exposed to cold air temperatures for a long duration, you are slowly reaching a hypothermic state and may not know it. Most of us don’t plan on being submerged but it happens. However, you have more of a chance of getting hypothermia by the cold air and spray of water while paddling. You may just think that you are cold, and you will be fine. There are multiple stages of hypothermia but if you get to where you are shivering uncontrollably and cannot feel your feet or hands, it may be too late. It will not be long before your motor
COASTALANGLERMAG.COM • THE ANGLERMAG.COM
skills will be impaired to the point of uselessness. So, what can you do to protect yourself from the elements. Dry suits are great but expensive. Quality rain gear with a wool or fleece underlayer is enough along with a base layer. Avoid cotton! I like a fleece cap and neck gator that can double as a face mask. My gloves of choice are fleece mittens that fold open to expose the fingers for dexterity. Bring a change of clothes in a drybag. I like to take a thermos of a warm drink and even soup. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. And again, don’t forget to wear your PFD and let someone know where you are going. Remember, there will not be the number of boaters out there as there was in the summer. Help won’t be just across the water. Winter can be a great time to fish and most of the time, you have the water all to yourself. If you take a few precautions, you can be rewarded with a great day on the water. Pack on those layers whether is if with food or clothes, head out and until next time remember to keep those paddles wet and to fish on!

or much of the U.S. it is time to don winter coats, sweep the chimney and winterize the boat. As the temperature plummets, it’s easy for the mind to wander toward thoughts of warm sun and a beach escape. For the fishing crews in Nosara, Costa Rica, the forecast for the next 10 months is perfect sunshine and clear fishing weather. Best of all, this is the time of year when big dorado provide plenty for the Christmas dinner table. Here in Costa Rica, our fishing pattern resets each year. Ever since the rainy season ended in early November, we have seen large
CANGL_FIL1-FIL4.indd 4
schools of dorado stacked up like cordwood. Also, there are swarms of sailfish and the occasional marlin stalking these mahi-mahi meals. We expect this feeding pattern to continue until late-March when the dorado will be replaced by schools of yellowfin tuna moving in from the north. Gangs of spinning dolphins will show us the way to these tasty ahis, and once they show up the tuna bite will strengthen until our end-of-season in early September. Our offshore marlin, yellowfin and dorado all follow schools of bait that move from north to south along the Pacific coast. Conversely, our inshore fishery doesn’t depend on pelagic bait migration patterns. Instead our secluded port of Garza Bay is fed by local mountain rivers. When the cool, nutrient-rich river water collides with the warm, fast-moving saltwater of the Pacific, conditions are perfect for localized swarms of baitfish to form. This “homegrown” bait supports a ravenous population of big roosterfish, broomtail groupers and massive cubera snapper. It’s not unusual for these monsters to weigh upwards of 60 pounds yet still ascend the water column to strike on the surface. Roosterfish are in an especially catchable mood after a cool evening’s rain floods the estuary with fresh baits. Inshore or offshore, all are ripe for the catching, and captains of FishingNosara have posted excellent catches ever since the season started. Right off the bat, angler Brian Stafford, of Jacksonville, Fla. and his fellow firefighters nabbed a big batch of dorado on the 32-foot Wanderer. Catching these big beasts on the first day of the season is a great sign of what we imagine will be a “fishtastic” 2019 season. It’s always a great time be thankful for friends, family and the blessings in life, but with Christmas Day right around the corner, it is the right time to give the gift of fishing. If you have a youngster in the family, get them a tackle box and a starter reel. If you are already an avid angler, remember that Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals are great for expanding your arsenal. And, if you are ready to challenge yourself to catch the baddest fish on the planet, come on down to Nosara and pay us a visit.

Photo courtesy of IGFA hose interested in destination fisheries have probably heard of the fantastic fishing, scenery and hospitality experienced on Mongolian taimen trips. Well, there are taimen in Russia, too. And Russian rivers have a reputation for producing the largest taimen on the planet. Taimen are known as the largest, meanest salmonids in the world. They look and behave somewhat like brown trout only on a much larger scale. Fishing for them might be the world’s ultimate freshwater fly rod experience. Angler Guido Rahr, III got to experience taimen in a big way in September, when he hooked into a pending IGFA record for fly tackle taimen. He caught and released the 83-pound, 4-ounce monster on Russia’s Tugar River. If approved, it will replace the existing 71-pound, 2-ounce record for the heaviest taimen on a fly rod ever recorded by IGFA. The IGFA all-tackle world record for taimen was also caught in Russia. In 1993, Yuri Orlov landed the 92-pound, 8-ounce record on Siberia’s Keta River. He caught it on a Blue Fox spinner and 17-pound-test line.

very few years a new technique explodes on the bass fishing scene. Many of these trends just fade away, but some endure and become a part of every bass angler’s arsenal. The technique of the moment is the Ned rig. It is excellent for big numbers of spotted bass and smallmouths. It’ll catch largemouths, too. And it really shines when the fishing gets tough. On post-frontal days in winter, when bass are deep on vertical structure, it’s time to rig up a Ned and go to work. It is the perfect technique when bass are looking for a meal that is small and slow moving. A Ned rig is a miniature soft-plastic stick bait threaded on a light 1/8- to 1/32-ounce mushroom-style jighead. A drop of superglue holding the 3- to 5-inch worm to the jighead works wonders for making this rig durable. When fishing at winter depths, light line should be matched with a light spinning rod with a supple tip. Go as light as you dare, with 4- to 8-pound-test braid finished off with a fluorocarbon leader. When fish are active, a Ned worked steadily along the bottom is deadly. When they are sluggish, it’s better to let the jig sit on the bottom, allowing the bait’s vertical tail to do the work with the slightest shake of the rod tip. It’s not the most exciting way to fish, but it catches fish—sometimes when nothing else will.

Each week Roger introduces us to passionate and inventive outdoor cooking aficionados and an array of epic custom-built apparatuses designed to cook everything from 200-pound sturgeon to whole cows on a massive homemade spit. Roger’s visits give us insight into the innovative extremes outdoor cooks utilize in their pursuit of perfection. If you’re an outdoor cooking enthusiast, “Man Fire Food” is a must-watch program. We recently caught up with Roger to discuss the show’s success and rich content. CAM: Roger, your show has become a must-watch series for anyone who mans a grill. Why do you think your show has become so popular? Roger: Over the course of the last 7 seasons, we’ve seen an amazing array of outdoor and flame-inspired cooking devices and techniques featured on the show. If you love outdoor cooking, then you’re probably going to like the show. People just love being outside with loved ones. Backyard barbecues have been a longstanding tradition; in fact, you could say that tradition may even date back to the most primitive use of fire itself. There’s also something very special about slowing down and taking the time it demands to tend a hypnotizing fire and be immersed in the full experience, and getting to eat at the end of that entire adventure. The smells, sounds, sights of nature and breaking the hectic pace that a lot of us live at… it’s needed. CAM: So, you think cooking outdoors is somehow satisfying a primal urge? Roger: When I look back at some of the massive cuts of meat that have been prepared on previous episodes, it does seem like fire and food is primal, and I think we would all have to agree that cooking with wood, coals or heated rocks bridges a gap that is satisfying to those primal instincts.
CAM: What can we expect to see in future episodes? Roger: Humans all over the globe have been cooking with fire for many millennia now, and cultures all over the world have different ways of cooking with fire. I would like to explore extending the borders of the show to feature more places outside of the U.S. CAM: What advice would you offer the average outdoor cook? Roger: Just to enjoy the whole experience. I think the average outdoor cook is a more experienced cook, or else they would be a novice indoor cook. It takes a different level of attention to detail and mindfulness to cook outdoors because you have to deal with many other variables like wind, rain, keeping the fire going, how hot or cool is the fire, what are the hotspots, how much wood/charcoal do I need to add at a particular stage, bugs trying to get you, and all sorts of other things that you simply don’t have to worry about in a modern day North American kitchen with electricity and good shelter. Also, use the smoke as a seasoning advantage. You don’t need to add all kinds of stuff if you start with a freshly caught fish, some salt and a bit of good wood smoke; the work is already done, you just have to make sure you don’t get in the way or don’t burn the darn thing. It’s the magic of simplicity. CAM: How do you select the places that we see on the show? Roger: There is a very dedicated but small team of amazing people who find, research and vet all the potential locations for “Man Fire Food.” The winning candidates have endured hours of interviews and a barrage of questions as exhaustive as possible. The variables are so unimaginable to the viewer, and if we all do our jobs right, you have no idea how much work went into what looks so simple on TV. We’re always interested in looking at unique “Man Fire Food” subject matters. If any of your readers think they qualify, they should email: Contact@rogermooking.com. “Man Fire Food’s” new season premiered Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 9 p.m. on The Cooking Channel.

Feeding Strategies MARK SOSIN What appears obvious may be deceiving. Most anglers erroneously believe that when predators corner a hapless school of baitfish, they simply open their mouths and swim through the prey, gorging themselves in the process. It doesn’t happen that way. A predator must isolate and attack one specific victim at a time. That’s not always an easy task. A frantic school of baitfish sensing predators can appear as a shimmering mass of silver with each individual member of the school constantly changing position. Selecting a tasty morsel to ingest can frustrate even the most sophisticated gamefish. That’s one reason why you’ll find predators lurking under a pod of bait. The instant their intended prey strays from the pack, they strike. When you think about it, you can understand that any gamefish searches for a victim that is isolated, disabled or looks different from the others. Feeding is a tradeoff. Success centers on expending as little energy as possible for the food value received. Unsuccessfully chasing prey for long distances keeps a predator lean, hungry, and tends to slow it down. The easiest way to get a strike when you locate a school of baitfish starts with a cast into the middle of the school. It doesn’t matter whether you are fishing an artificial lure or a natural bait. The retrieve should work your offering toward the fringes of the school in basically the same direction in which the school is swimming or at a 45-degree angle to the basic direction. As your bait or lure eases toward the edge of the school, it is easier for a predator to isolate. And, it looks slightly different than the baitfish in the school. Some live bait fishermen squeeze a minnow before casting

it or drifting it so that it will be disabled. Clipping a fin or two also impairs swimming motion. The injured fish will have trouble swimming, and that means it will send out vibrations that attract the attention of predators. These frantic movements to obtain equilibrium frequently trigger the strike. Even during the anticipated feast of locating a school of baitfish, certain factors come into play. As water temperatures drop, a predator will not pursue its prey as fast and as far as it would in warmer water. When you are fishing a chum slick and fish are feeding on the chum, it is much more effective to fish an offering without retrieving it. A dead drift works just fine. I’ve seen that produce inshore and offshore including tuna and sailfish. I once had an opportunity to watch scientists monitor the behavior of a school of bluefish in a massive aquarium as they attacked a school of minnows. By chance, I focused on a minnow that did not move, even when attacked by a bluefish four times. Each time, the bluefish broke off the attack because the minnow did not behave as it should. On the fifth pass, the minnow moved and it was eaten faster than you can read this sentence. Finally, if you are trolling and see a school of small fish on the surface, approach the school slowly so as not to scare them. Ease alongside the school and work the fringes or establish a position ahead of the baitfish. If you prefer to cast, keep the boat away from the school and make the cast into the school. As you retrieve your offering and it begins to clear the fringes of the school, you should get a strike.
