DESTINATION: El Salto, Mexico FISH: Largemouth Bass PEAK SEASON: September-July THE FISHING: There might be a few lakes out there that produce larger largemouths on occasion, but none are as consistent as Lake El Salto at producing huge catches of quality sized bass with the ever-present potential to catch a true giant. For more than 30 years, El Salto has been one of the world’s best bass fisheries, and it remains right at the top of the bucket list for travelling bass anglers. It is a place where 100-fish days are normal, the average fish weighs 4 to 5 pounds, and 7- to 10-pound fish are a regular occurrence. The best day on El Salto? Well, the lake record bass weighed 18 pounds, 6 ounces. The record for most bass caught in a day stands at 607 fish. El Salto is a 25,000-acre impoundment of the Elota River. It sits in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. A yearround growing season and the introduction of Florida strain largemouth bass in the 1980s helped build this big-bass factory. Abundant tilapia as a forage species as well as varied habitat and lots of sunken timber maintain it. If all this doesn’t pique your interest, it’s worth mentioning that many of the biggest fish caught each year from El Salto are victims of topwater tactics. INFORMATION: www.anglersinn.com
Mongolia
DESTINATION: Khentii Aimag and Khovsgol Aimag, Mongolia FISH: Siberian Taimen PEAK SEASON: June 15-October THE FISHING: Imagine fly fishing a river for trout that can weigh 20 pounds
or more. Now imagine these giant trout surface feed on ducks and rodents instead of insects. Sounds like a fairytale, right? Well it’s not. Fish like this actually exist, but the behaviors of Mongolia’s Siberian taimen are more aptly described as the stuff of nightmares than fairytales. The taimen is the largest, most ferocious salmonid in the world. Tactics for catching them include chugging giant topwater poppers on 9-weight fly rods, and the violence exhibited on a taimen’s take can only be matched by the ensuing fight. Anglers can expect to tangle with good numbers of taimen in the 6- to 15-pound range on a week-long camp-and-float through gorgeous Mongolian canyons. A trophy longer than 40 inches and weighing 25 pounds or more is a definite possibility. But the fishing is only part of what makes a Mongolia so special. The warmth of Mongolian hospitality, the skill of its guides and the beauty of its scenery make for an unforgettable expedition. Taimen fisheries in Mongolia are catch-and-release, fly fishing only with a single barbless hook.
DESTINATION: San Cristobal, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador FISH: Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna PEAK SEASON: January-April THE FISHING: Everyone has heard of the tortoises, diving iguanas and other strange wildlife that made the Galapagos Islands famous. The incredible bluewater fishing is not as well publicized. Deep sea currents carry warm waters and plentiful baitfish past this underwater mountain range about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. Blue, black and striped marlin congregate to feed around banks that rise to 300 and 600 feet from more than 2,000 feet of water. It’s some of the best fishing in the Pacific, and it’s only about an hour’s run from the docks at San Cristobal. The striped marlin bite might be the best in the world, with fast action for fish that average 200 pounds and get up into the 350-pound range. Blacks and blues are less frequently encountered than striped marlin, but they are plentiful and big. Fish from 500 to 800 pounds are the norm. Topwater popper fishing for yellowfin tuna is off the chain for fish up to 150 pounds. Big dorado, African pompano and Almaco jacks are bonus fish. And the wahoo fishing is good, as well. INFORMATION: sportfishgalapagos.com
Florida Keys
DESTINATION: Florida Keys, U.S.A. FISH: Tarpon PEAK SEASON: April-June THE FISHING: Although the Florida Keys aren’t as remote as many of the marquee fishing destinations this planet offers, the fishing is second to none. On the southern edge of the continent, where the Gulf Stream carries fecund waters from the Gulf of Mexico through the Florida Straits to the Atlantic, this chain of islands is perfectly situated to create one of the most productive marine environments in the world. Big-game sportfishing and backcountry fly fishing arose from the outstanding and diverse fisheries of The Keys. Year-round, there is excellent fishing inshore, nearshore and offshore. One of the most iconic of these fisheries is for big flats tarpon. There are always tarpon present in the Florida Keys, and nowhere else in the world do they run so thick through clear, shallow waters during their migrations. In ultra-clear water, sight fishing for these beasts from a flats skiff has to be the ultimate shallow-water experience. The size and raw power of tarpon are unmatched among flats species. The aerial displays of fish heavier than 100 pounds are part of what makes fishing in The Keys legendary. INFORMATION: fla-keys.com

Franklin County, Florida DESTINATION: Franklin County, Fla. FISH: Tarpon, Redfish, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Jack Crevalle, Amberjack, Gag Grouper, Pompano PEAK SEASON: June-December THE FISHING: Take a step back in time to experience Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Every cast could produce something different in one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Last month, Hurricane Michael lashed out on this beautiful slice of the Panhandle, but the fisheries should bounce back as strong as ever. You’ll find offshore species like wahoo, grouper and sailfish, as well as inshore species like pompano, redfish, tarpon, jack crevalle and speckled trout. In early spring, look for cobia and Spanish mackerel nearshore, while inshore you’ll find trout and redfish crushing topwaters. In summer, the king mackerel bite can be non-stop and tarpon are big and plentiful. Several species of snapper and grouper are always on the menu while offshore, blackfin tuna, wahoo, sailfish and more can be had. As we get into fall, big jacks will be tearing up tackle and the delicious flounder will be found as they spawn. False albacore or bonito can warm up a cool day in the blue water, also. From the mouth of the Apalachicola River to Carrabelle, you’ll find some of the hottest action anywhere! Redfish, trout and flounder abound, and you can cast for freshwater species like bass and stripers the same day. INFORMATION: www.floridasforgottencoast.com

DESTINATION: Kona Coast, Big Island, Hawaii FISH: Pacific Blue Marlin PEAK SEASON: April-September THE FISHING: If a giant marlin is on your bucket list, there may be no better place in the world to check it off than on the Kona Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island. On the southeastern end of a 1,500-mile archipelago in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, massive shield volcanoes protect the leeward side of the Big Island from wind and rain, resulting in nearly perpetual calm seas off the Kona Coast. Three miles from land, the bottom drops into 6,000-foot depths while winds and topography create miles-wide cyclonic eddies that funnel nutrient-rich water up into the warm surface layers. These localized patches of biologically productive water attract big pelagics. Within sight of land, there is the opportunity to catch six species of billfish, six species of tuna, ono (wahoo) and mahi-mahi, among others. The main drawing card is blue marlin… big ones. Kona lays claim to more than 80 blues heavier than 1,000 pounds over the years, and that doesn’t include all the granders that were released. More than half of all the granders ever recorded from the Hawaiian Islands were caught off the Kona Coast. INFORMATION: www.gohawaii.com

DESTINATION: Kamchatka, Russia FISH: Rainbow Trout PEAK SEASON: July-September THE FISHING: Some scientists believe the Kamchatka Peninsula is where rainbow trout originated in a web of cold-water rivers on Russia’s eastern coast. With very few roads and little human population to speak of, this roughly 100,000-square-mile slice of land across the Bering Sea from Alaska is as remote as it gets. In fact, the only feasible way to access its hundreds of miles of trout water is by helicopter. Kamchatka is a place that makes even the Alaskan tundra seem overpopulated with humans. It offers a wilderness experience unlike any other, and the fishing isn’t too shabby, either. Trout that eat dry flies, streamers and deer-hair mice skated across the surface average 20 to 22 inches. Each short season, anglers catch 30-inchers that are aggressive and as hot as they come. And while the rainbows are the headliners, there are also several species of Pacific salmon that make annual runs into the peninsula. Huge kundzha, a close relative of Dolly Varden, weigh into the teens. And trophy grayling round out a diverse fishery that’s one of the most unspoiled on the planet. INFORMATION: www.thebestofkamchatka.com
DESTINATION: Santee Cooper Lakes, South Carolina FISH: Striped Bass, Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Shellcracker PEAK SEASON: Year-round THE FISHING: For a world-class freshwater fishery, the Santee Cooper lakes in South Carolina are as accessible as it gets. Interstate I-95 crosses Lake Marion and I-26 flanks the twin-lake system to the south. The lakes are connected by a 7-mile-long diversion canal, which provides another unique fishery. Lake Marion’s 102,400 acres of water are a timber-studded, aquatic vegetation-laden fish factory, while Lake Moultrie’s 59,900 acres have an incredible diversity of underwater cover and structure. This twin-lake system provides unmatched freshwater diversity. Marauding striped bass provide surface-schooling triple-digit catches per boat in peak season. The state record blue catfish was taken in 2017 and topped 113-pounds. Catfish in the 50- to 70-pound class are reasonable targets, and the big-fish population is on an upsurge. The system currently holds the world record channel catfish at 58-pounds. Need more? Crappies are abundant and commonly exceed 2 pounds, with 3-pound-plus fish distinctly possible. The system holds state records for black crappie at 5-pounds, largemouth bass topping 16-pounds and the former world record shellcracker that tipped the scales to 5 pounds, 7 1/2 ounces. Santee Cooper is the living legend of freshwater fishing. COASTALANGLERMAG.COM • THEANGLERMAG.COM I NOVEMBER 2018 I NATIONAL 9 INFORMATION: www.santeecoopercountry.org

ifteen years ago, a friend and I flew into San Jose and took a small plane to Quepos, Costa Rica, where we fished offshore on a 42 express boat called Fishing Frenzy. It was my first fishing trip to Costa Rica, and I didn’t know it at the time, but the over-the-top offshore experience was typical for this tropical Central American paradise. It consisted of plenty of tuna, sailfish and dorado, and the never-ending chase for marlin. The trip had such an impact that it became an annual event. Then, four years ago everything changed. I started some business dealings in Costa Rica, which allowed me to begin splitting time between Costa Rica and my native south Florida. It has been the adventure of a lifetime. I’m not sure I can say what specifically drew me to Costa Rica. I think it’s a little bit of everything. The people, the adventure, the fishing and the beautiful scenery are all truly amazing. The people are always happy and definitely live the national slogan “Pura Vida,” which translates to “The Pure Life.” The diversity and magnificence of the scenery is over the top. Delivering Coastal Angler Magazine throughout the country has exposed me to different and varying locations. Within a four hour drive I can be exposed to the volcanos and hot springs of Arenal, the gorgeous beaches and surfing of Guanacaste, the beautiful and exotic jungles of Golfito and the Osa Peninsula, the quiet beauty and fishing of the Nicoya Peninsula, the world class surfing and fishing of Herradura, Hermosa and Quepos, and even the cooler climates and cultural centers of the Central Valley. The tourism of Costa Rica is truly an adventure. From ziplining through a jungle canopy to four wheeling up a mountain, from white water rafting to rappelling down a waterfall, and even seeing sloths and monkeys in their natural habitats, the adventures are endless. Adventure definitely exists in the fishing of Costa Rica. In 2017 the Herradura Quepos fishery was named the No. 1 billfishing area in the world by the Billfish Report. Offshore fishing easily offers the complete line up of pelagic fish and often includes double-digit catches. This is one of the few countries where catching an offshore billfish grand slam can be accomplished in one day. Last month, Coastal Angler Editor-in-Chief Ben Martin came down and we managed to squeeze in one day of fishing on my 32 Luhrs, Dream II out of Los Suenos. Where else in the world can you catch two blue marlin, two sailfish, and 15 dorado in a day of fishing? The inshore fishing for roosterfish, cubera snapper, snook and even tarpon is also world class. The freshwater fishing offers everything from rainbow bass (guapote) to machaca, and trout to largemouth bass. I have been to many places in the world, and Costa Rica stands out as one of my favorite bucket list destinations. Mike Erickson is co-publisher of Coastal Angler Magazine Costa Rica.

t’s 2 p.m. on a bright, sunny day and I’m pitching pilchards in the shadow of a small bridge not 50 yards from a marina. As my bait turns and swims momentarily into the sunlight, a sudden swirl connects me to a solid slot-sized snook. My line has been in the water for less than a minute. “It can happen fast,” chuckled Capt. George Gozdz, who in 2019 is scheduled to host a new fishing show on The Sportsman Channel called Unfathomed. “There’s quality snook under almost any significant structure around here.” “Around here” would be the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) and St. Lucie River system, an estuarine wonderland on Florida’s southeast coast that stretches 155 miles and dishes up everything from monster snook, gator trout and delicious pompano to king-sized tarpon, jacks and a variety of grouper. The city of Stuart sits dead-center in this expansive maze of fishing heaven, and makes the perfect launch point Capt. George Gozdz shows off a monfor learning these waters. ster St. Lucie River snook. Look for “The diversity in this area is 8- to 10-foot depths with good current something special,” explained Gonear structure to find the big ones, he zdz, “Two systems converge here, said. Photo courtesy of George Gozdz. the St. Lucie River and Indian River, and St. Lucie Inlet provides access for ocean pelagics like sailfish. Inshore, snook is the most popular target on a year-round basis. From December through March, you’ll find the best action up inside the St. Lucie River because the water is warmest there. The stretch from Rt. A1A (aka: 10 Cent Bridge) west into the north or south fork of the St. Lucie River is the prime winter snook area. I throw Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows and Hydro Poppers in low light conditions and pitch pilchards once the sun gets up in the sky.” Generally speaking, tidal stage doesn’t matter much for these snook, as long as the water is moving. Look for heavy structure near 10-foot depths with good flow and you’ll eventually connect. “Keep in mind this isn’t finesse fishing,” advised Gozdz. “There’s no way to haul a big snook— they can top 40 inches in length—out of heavy structure with light lines. I use 80-lb. test Yo-Zuri Super Braid with an 80- to 100-lb. test Top Knot fluorocarbon leader.” If you are looking to stay overnight in Stuart, Pirate’s Cove Resort and Marina (www.piratescoveresort.com; 772-287-2500) is a great choice with affordable rooms, wet slips and free launching around the corner at the Sandsprit Park.

or a builder of the finest quality custom boats to survive in the competitive market of today, there can be no compromises. When precision craftsmanship meets thoughtful engineering and a flawless design, magic can happen. The magic comes with a hefty price, however, a price that isn’t measured in currency. For a boat builder to set the standard by which all others are measured, a tremendous amount of scrutiny from both the consumer as well as industry peers should be expected. There can be no short cuts, and each and every detail down to the last unseen screw must be perfect. This all requires a great deal of time. Man-hours. Very few people have the vision or sense of commitment to play at anything in their lives at this level. An enduring commitment to
maintain the highest standards at whatever cost has taken down many players in the boatbuilding game historically. Ultimately, they are all faced with the crossroads moment where either you pack up your tools and call it a day or form a plan to build it faster and cheaper, all in the interest of increasing that bottom line. For an elite few members of this profession, the boats have always come first. At the end of the day, if the integrity of their name or the boats that leave their shop are ever to be compromised, they’ve lost sight of the reason they got into the game. Pride. The team at Bahama Boat Works has devoted an entire lifetime to mastering every facet of the boating industry, compiling a list of credentials along the way that few can lay claim to. From running to rigging and designing to building, Bahama Boat Works has gained familiarity with every last detail of what makes a boat ride, run, look and fish better than all others. It takes these elements past the design stage to the construction stage and ultimately produces boats that draw admiration from everyone that lays eyes on them, boaters and non-boaters alike. The Bahama team has put in the man-hours. From base camp to spike camp to summit, the Bahama 41 has proven herself to be at the top of the food chain for years now. An Apex Predator staring down from the mountaintop ready to take on all challengers. As the entire Bahama Boat Works team prepares to put the landmark Hull #100 boat into service, a milestone that few custom boat builders ever get to enjoy, congratulations are certainly in order. Don’t, however, expect to find them putting their feet up or celebrating too enthusiastically. You are more likely to find them working out the smallest detail on the next hull in production. A detail that her future owner may never even know about but the team at Bahama and their pride wouldn’t consider overlooking.

grouper will find their way into shallower waters. Every year we catch some really nice gags in about 30- to 50-feet of water on some big ledges and structures. If you are after pelagics, use live baits for the best results. You can sabiki up some cigar minnows, Spanish sardines or blue runners. You can either slow troll the baits or flat line while you are anchored up bottom fishing. I would like to clarify to anyone who is wanting to fish and might be hesitant due to the red tide water conditions, once you get out past the red tide the fishing is outstanding, and there are no concerns of the safety of eating the fish. At the time of writing this, the red tide had cleared out almost completely. Try and keep using local businesses and help out those restaurants and businesses that are located on the water and nearby. There are many businesses that are struggling this season because of the lack of tourists. We all must stick together to get through this crisis. Remember to always follow state and federal regulations. Be courteous of other boaters, and keep only what you can eat.

ovember is the month where just about anything can happen in the Gulf of Mexico off south Florida. Offshore water temperatures will be slowly getting cooler and the baitfish will start migrating south. Along with the bait, comes a multitude of species following right behind them. Kingfish, blackfin tuna and cobia are my favorite fish to target in the fall. This year we will have to travel a little deeper than usual due to the red tide problem. Typically, I like to fish the beach area and out to around 50 feet of water for pelagics, but this season I am anticipating the bait will be out a little deeper in cooler waters. The red tide in our area has been out to almost 45 feet of water, depending on which way the wind is blowing that day. You have to find clean water to find the fish in these conditions. Bottom fish are always plentiful in November, as well. The gag

eef Runner Boats recently unveiled its new Battle Breast Cancer Boat, which will be raffled at the Miami International Boat Show in February to raise money for Susan G Komen for the Cure (SGK). This is the second year the Miami-based boat builder has raffled a brand new boat for the foundation, and Reef Runner owner Donna Milo said they hope to raise $20,000 with this year’s raffle. Since its founding in 1999, the Miami/Fort Lauderdale chapter of SGK has invested nearly $11 million in local breast cancer awareness projects, such as education programs, funding for patient screening, diagnostics and treatment. The chapter also donates 25 percent of remaining net funds to national breast cancer research programs. Reef Runner is ponying up a pretty sweet ride to the cause. It is a Reef Runner 180 Bay—an 18-foot, wide-beamed boat that is perfect for fishing and family cruising. It has a fuel-efficient hull design, lots of storage and a roomy, fully finished interior liner. The boat also has a 90-horsepower Evinrude outboard motor. TACO Marine also jumped on board with cause by donating and installing brand new Rigid Vinyl Rub Rail, end caps, navigation lights and poly tumbler holders for the Battle Breast Cancer Boat. The boat will be raffled on the final day of the Miami International Boat Show, Monday, Feb. 18, 2019 at 1 p.m. Raffle tickets are on sale Airline_Ad_CoastalAngler_8-1-14_Layout 1 8/1/14 1:14 PM Page 1 online at reefrunnerboats.com.

Inaugural XGeneration Anglers for Soldiers KDW
The XGeneration Anglers for Soldiers KDW at the Sailfish Marina in September was a top of the line inaugural event. The weather was so good that volunteers waiting at the scales did not see their first boat of anglers until 2-2:30. There were a lot of kingfish brought to the scale, a considerable number of dolphin but not a single intact wahoo. Several anglers reported wahoo that were lost at the boat. It seems that lately, any wahoo that hits the deck is assured to be a tournament winner! The event at The Sailfish Marina began with a Captain’s Meeting and kickoff party on Friday evening. Tournament fishing began with lines in at 6:30 am. Scales opened for weigh-in at The Sailfish Marina at 1 pm. The awards ceremony and luncheon hosted by The Sailfish Marina was on Sunday afternoon. The Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, www. forgottensoldiers.org was the beneficiary of the event. Andy Alvarez, owner of XGeneration and tournament organizer has already begun planning for next year’s event on September 20, 21 and 22 at The Sailfish Marina in 2019. He plans to cap the tournament at 100 boats, so sign up early and take advantage of the early entry of $200. Every entry before January 1st will be awarded a $50 gift certificates for XGeneration. For more information on next year’s event, call XGeneration at 561.296.7637. Andy and his team of volunteers would like to thank The Sailfish Marina for hosting the tournament.

The “mullet run” should be drawing to a close right around the beginning of November. There was plenty of mullet in and around Ft. Pierce, Stuart, Jupiter and Boynton Beach during late September and early October. There should still be bull sharks, snook and tarpon crushing the remaining schools, so this is your last call to get out and enjoy the hot inshore bite. Follow the mullet for excellent snook and tarpon fishing inshore and along the beach. If tarpon and snook are biting, you can catch them on mullet using a circle hook or any number of swimming baits and “flair hawks.” November should start bringing sailfish into the area, wahoo and bigger-sized mahi mahi. In the Palm Beaches it’s most popular to kite fish with live bait for these pelagic fish, but slow trolling live baits works nearly as well. Dead-bait trolling for sails will also land you plenty of mahi. If it’s calm, head offshore and find some floating debris or other structure that holds bait that the mahi feed on. November weather will mean more northerly winds and cooler drier weather which translates into rougher seas. If it’s rougher stay close and troll those ballyhoo for sails and mahi from 80-300 ft or deeper depending on water conditions. Closer to shore and on the bottom, fishing has been excellent! The fall run of Spanish mackerels should also be showing up in good numbers and are so much fun to catch on light tackle. The party boats are coming in with a good number of yellowtails and more mutton snappers. Even mahi mahi have been caught shallow recently, presumably chasing mullet closer to shore than normal. There have been a good number of kings landed as well, however bigger kingfish have been missing from the Palm Beaches for several weeks. The drift boats typically use a triple-hook rig with a whole dead sardine as bait. This is great simple fishing method and will catch you plenty of fish; I have caught a sailfish in the past with this simple rig so don’t count it out when you just want to relax on the water. Ask me questions about fishing & see my recent FISHING VIDEOS on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/ darcizzleoffshore

STAND UP PADDLEBOARD:
Power through the surf
Some Simple SUP Tips by Chris Anders Contributing Writer As we get into the winter weather we start getting into choppy wave conditions. During the summer months the ocean is much calmer and allows for an easy beach launch. However, that all changes during our winter (not real winter temps in FL) and we get higher wind conditions and very choppy waves off the beach. Here are a few tips for a beach launch in rough conditions. First, let’s actually stand up and not go through the surf on your knees. Trying to get through the waves on your knees may sound more stable but it isn’t. You may have a lower center of gravity but you can’t control the power or your weight when punching through the waves. Now that you are standing, it is very important that you approach the wave at a 90 degree angle (perpendicular). If you are not perpendicular to the wave at the approach you have a good chance of getting launched off your board. To hit that wave head on, use small corrective strokes and avoid switching sides. The more your paddle is in the water the more power and control you will have. Your power is at the front of your stroke and this is what will get you through the wave. If you are switching sides often or you are paddling long strokes then you will lose momentum on your approach which will launch the front of your board and you will be catapulted. When you are in the front face of the wave continue with small quick strokes with staggered stance (one foot back). Make sure your body is not in surf stance near rear of board. You still want to be in center so that once you clear the waves you can easily square off and paddle. Be aggressive through the wave and bend your knees forcing your weight to the board as you hit the peak. Don’t let the wave control you, you take control of the wave. If you don’t the wave will own you. Chris Anders, CEgO ThePalmBeachBoatClub.com • 561-840-1901

COASTALKIDS My Fishing Adventures
by Christopher Sprague Jr. Angler-Team Tuppens Surprisingly, I haven’t been fishing this month at all. Since I don’t have any fishing stories to tell, I would like to tell how we are preparing for the SKA Nationals in North Carolina. In November, we will be heading to North Carolina in hopes of a monster kingfish. Even though North Carolina was hit hard by the hurricane, SKA is optimistic that the tournament will be held there. So, here is a variety of the bait rigs we like to make. We typically bring 35 rigs for each type of bait, but since this is a twoday tournament and we can’t afford to run short on rigs, we will double the number. We will probably bring around 80-100 rigs for each bait depending on where we are fishing. Our ideal baits are blue runners, goggle eyes, and sardines/pilchards. For a blue runner rig, we start the rig with tying a normal hook on wire. Then we tie multiple treble hooks on the rig and connect all the hooks to the wire. For a goggle eye rig, we tie a normal hook to wire and then a single treble hook to it. Tying this rig takes a lot of time but well worth it! Finally, for a sardine rig, we just tie a single hook on either wire or monofilament, depending on what we are fishing for. If we are fishing for kingfish or any fish with a lot of teeth, we would use wire. But, if Rigging for we’re fishing for a fish with small the National teeth or with good eye sight, we use Championship monofilament, so the fish doesn’t see it. This is what we usually use for a fishing tournament in Florida. When we are fishing in North Carolina, we will fish with the bait of choice, a bluefish. We fish for those with a very small planer, Clark spoon and slow troll the beach. Catching bait is as much fun as fishing for kingfish!

FISHINGFORECASTS SOUTH COUNTY INSHORE & FRESHWATER By Capt. Patrick Smith
This is probably my favorite month of the year for fishing! In saltwater there are plenty of mullet around but so much that it’s hard to get your bait to stand out in the crowd. There’s also a lot of predators around, giant jacks, snook, sharks Shannon put in the time at night and was rewarded with a snook on fly
Ethan with his first peacock on fly
and tarpon. Slow trolling a live mullet is a great way to figure out who is in the area. Snook and jacks will be on every seawall deep enough to hold them just waiting to ambush bait or even artificial. The DOA Baitbusters and Yozuri hydro pencil would be my first two choices for
working the docks, It was a great summer seawalls and edges of for these big girls mullet schools. The freshwater really shines this time of the year. This is all very dependent on the cold fronts of course, but on an early November trip last year we managed to release 300+ peacocks and largemouths. But a couple days later it got cold and the bite really slowed down. The year before the peacock fishing went till February before it got too cold for them to be happy. It’s all in Mother Nature’s hands now and we will just have to wait and see. Live shiners are the main choice on the live bait side but don’t be scared to throw some artificials. Weightless flukes skipped deep under docks and seawalls can be deadly along with Gambler Big EZ in ghost shad worked slowly around structure. Trolling crank baits is a great tactic for locating fish too. The Rapala sr7 in shiny or bright colors should get the bite. Don’t be surprised if you notice the line peeling off your reel when you hook up with a surprise sunshine bass. In my opinion they are the strongest fish on the lake and taste pretty good also. Capt.

ROAD TRIPFISHING Biloxi Marsh
Louisiana red on the CL Destroyer
by Keith Lozott, Contributing Writer Well Biloxi Marsh didn’t disappoint again this year with redfish and black drum. I will admit the weather wasn’t what we have experienced in past trips with perfectly clear blue skies and cool temperatures, which is the recipe for a fired up bite. We had highs of 85 degrees, partly cloudy, windy conditions and the sight fishing was hampered a bit as a result. But the Marsh is an amazing venue and always offers opportunities to fish, you just have to make adjustments. We wanted to head out to the outer islands but decided the ride would be too rough, so we fished several locations we had success during previous years. We looked for dead end creeks and meandering creeks that were shallow and had very good success on our typical lures. We could sight fish in between passing clouds in shallower water. DOA Cal paddle tail baits worked great for me and my buddy threw the fly and spinner baits for the most part with pretty good success. If the water wasn’t clean we stuck to flashy baits like the single blade spinner bait, but the key was to find clean water. This is the reason the creeks seem to hold very nice reds as the water was much cleaner and less effected by the wind-blown conditions. This being said, all you need to do if you’re a first-timer to Louisiana is find these locations on maps or the GPS. The three most essential tools on my boat other than the boat itself were the Simrad, trolling motor and of course some coolers to hold food, drinks and fish. If you read my articles you may remember that I made a lure out of a Coors Light bottle cap as a joke from the previous year. I said these fish will hit anything and would most likely hit a beer cap if it had a hook on. Now what is funny is that I saw on YouTube a guy making bottle cap lures after I got back from this
trip. For the record his are much more involved than mine. He has spinner bait blades and all sorts of bling going on (I’m not attacking his as it looks cool, check it out). We were heading up a creek that had produced numerous fish in the past and had already caught several when I said it’s time to pull out the CL Redfish Destroyer. I noticed a school of fish within casting range looking feisty and ready to eat. I deployed the homemade contraption just past the school and reeled it right into the middle of the school and sure enough it was on!!! At this point I’m laughing and totally vindicated that my idea of a redfish hitting a bottle cap wasn’t an exaggeration. To my surprise the fish was the biggest fish that we had caught at this point of the trip. I did throw the CL Destroyer at several other fish and got some strikes and one that fought for a bit but came unbuttoned. I will chalk the lost fish to design flaws as a circle hook may not have been the best idea. After it was all said and done I had a couple Coors Lights to top off my victory and to say thanks to the Silver Bullet cap that I doctored up with my daughter’s chartreuse pink nail polish. ☺ Put fishing in the Biloxi Marsh on your bucket list; you won’t regret it!
Captain/Chef Lenny Strobel, Founder and President of Reel*Time USA held a One-of-a-Kind Fishing Challenge on September 29th. Anyone in the USA could join the challenge and compete for prizes. The format is unique because it allows anyone to compete across the country, in any pond, lake, stream or honey hole. Participants sign up through the website, buy that day’s newspaper to authenticate their catches, then go fish 4 consecutive hours taking selfie photos with the newspaper of each largemouth bass before they release them. The person who catches and releases the most bass in a 4 hour time slot wins their division. There were 32 divisions from children to senior citizens competing. The Overall Grand Prize Winner, Vance Weyandt who landed 20 bass, pictured with his Palm Beach Post, won a 4 hour fishing trip on a 64ft Viking. For a complete list of winners and details on future events, visit www. reeltimeusa.com. Reel*Time USA corporate mission is to raise awareness and funds for Multiple Sclerosis Society.

KAYAKFISHING by Brian Nelli, Contributing Writer INSHORE: November will bring on the cooler weather and give the fish some relief from the heat. Snook, bluefish and Spanish mackerel should be on your radar. Kayak fishing the inlets, docks and Marco from Germany seawalls will produce most of the with his first snook. inshore species. Live mullet is your best bet along with hair jigs and soft plastic jerk baits. The bluefish and Spanish mackerel will start to show on the beaches and push in the inlets. Any shiny and quickly retrieved presentation should entice a bite from these toothy fish. OFFSHORE: Northeast winds will start to push through this month making beach launches a little more difficult. Pick your days wisely and be prepared to get wet on launch and re-entry. Fish will start to move in shallow as the cold fronts push through. Look to target mahi, kings and sails in the 80-120 foot area trolling live goggle eyes and blue runners. Bottom fishing during this time is my favorite. Muttons and yellowtails will be lurking in the 60-100’ reef patches. Frozen sardines, live mullet and frozen gogs on long leaders in the 40lb class will work best. Check us out Pushin’ Water Kayak Charters on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube for all the latest adventures my clients and I get into. See you on the water!

ARTIST: Susan Jyl Feldmann Last month I visited the home studio of South Florida artist, Susan Jyl Feldmann. There is art everywhere and on everything. The original watercolors are on Arches (a French woven fabric) in various stages as well as many completed works and prints. Susan paints all the time on everything and anything. There were paintings on swordfish bills, on rocks that she picked up, in a book that she carries on errands and everything else that you could imagine. I had heard about her work for some time now but had never been able to coordinate a visit. I was not expecting the incredible detail that is a part of all her work. Whether a painting of sea grapes, sea turtles, fish, dolphin, pelicans, mangos, a beach view, hibiscus, or a painting of shells and other treasure, each watercolor has incredible detail. Susan is a recently retired High School and College art teacher that has been painting during her entire teaching career but is now able to devote her incredible talents to her craft full time. Her love of turtles has landed her works at the Juno Beach Loggerhead Marinelife Center and Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton as well as the Kennedy Studio Gallery in Marathon. She has created unique perspectives in her work such as a painting with sea turtles hatching out of coconuts, or tropical fish swimming in a sea of hibiscus. Susan just completed a children’s book that tells the story of the turtle coconut painting. Look for it soon! Susan has been commissioned for a painting of Hemingway’s home as well as other famous homes in Key West. The colorful mangos, banana trees and hibiscus flowers found there are also some of her favorite subjects. Visit her website to enjoy and purchase her beautiful work, feldmannart.com. She is also available for commissions.

The fun continued with an epic inlet water fight Saturday morning, Family Funday during the Weigh in Saturday afternoon and a touching award presentation Saturday night featuring Kathy Black receiving the Kristin Hoke Memorial Trophy. And to top it off - the weekend concluded with a breathtaking fireworks show over the waters off Peanut Island. Bluewater Babes Fish for a Cure has donated more than $600,000 to local women battling breast or ovarian cancer since its inception in 2009.

FISHINGFORECAST
The Finest Custom Rods
PALM BEACH IN & OFFSHORE By Capt. Weston Russell
Welcome to November Coastal Angler Magazine fishing forecast. Cooler weather is just around the corner. Expect good bottom fishing this month. Vermillion snappers will be the target, but the yellowtails will also be on the list. Cut bait on a chicken rig works great for both species. When looking for vermillion, try deeper water around the 200’ range. They mark like a swarm of bees on your bottom machine. When you get on them, mark the spot for future reference. Good luck. For you surf anglers, the mullet run will be winding down, but there will be chance for a last minute tarpon bite. We at reelintensefishing.com will slow troll around the schools to get the hookup. Circle hooks work perfect and a stiff rod will do the trick. Offshore will hold dolphin. You must run deep to look for the weed lines. The run and gun method works for us. We won’t stop until we see something good. Stop and fish any man made trash you spot. The smallest things like buckets hold some good fish. The wind picks up in November. If it’s blowing more the 15mph stay close to shore. Good luck and tight lines! Venture offshore to find the Dolphin

The 24th Annual Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade and 19th Annual “On the Water” Toy Drive
benefiting Toys for Tots and Little Smiles kicks off this year’s holiday season on Saturday, December 1 at 6:00 p.m. Spectacularly illuminated boats cruise North Palm Beach beneath a backdrop of traveling fireworks. Celebrity Grand Marshals, Mo and Sally from KOOL 105.5 will lead the parade again this year on the Loggerhead Marina vessel. There will be extended fireworks at Harbourside Place, plus a grand finale at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse. Other popular viewing locations include: Juno Park, Bert Winters Park, Sawfish Bay Park, and Lighthouse Park. Boat entry is free and open to boats of all sizes. Judging is based on three factors: lights, enthusiasm and themed decor. The top three boats in each size category, plus “Best of Parade” win a total of more than $10,000 in cash and prizes. Toy donations can be dropped off at dozens of local businesses (listed at palmbeachboatparade.com), or picked up dockside during the parade by a fleet of marked toy boat volunteers by waving a flashlight. There will be temporary road closures due to bridge openings that will allow all parade vessels to pass through. Due to weather, winds, tides, and currents we cannot predict the exact time bridges along the parade route will be going up and down. Here are our best estimates based on past parades. Parker Bridge will open sometime between 6:00 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. PGA Bridge will open sometime between 6:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. Donald Ross Bridge will open sometime between 7:15 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Indiantown Road Bridge will open sometime between 8:00 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. Jupiter Federal Bridge will open sometime between 8:15 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Our permits allow a 45-minute opening for all bridges, so please use alternate routes during these times. This will only affect the parade traffic moving from south to north. Once the parade is completed at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse the regular bridge opening schedules will be in effect. The Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade is produced and sponsored by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, Inc.

Dear Recyclinda,
ASK RECYLINDA
Last night our local “driveway buddies” were having cold ones and solving the problems of the world. One of the guys said, “Just throw your bottle in the trash can - it all goes to the same place anyway.” Are my driveway buddy’s assumptions correct? Or does recycling serve an important and necessary public service? Bret in Royal Palm Beach
Hi Bret! Recycling at home provides an important – some would say vital – service to our community. For the record: the SWA does not sort through your garbage. The SWA landfills or combusts an estimated 2 million tons of waste a year. I don’t know about you, but I am not shuffling through dirty diapers and yard waste to scrounge up bottles. And practically speaking, there is no feasible method to sort through that material to find the water bottles and cardboard that were not placed into recycling bins. It would be a dangerous, expensive and monumental undertaking - not to mention one that would be entirely unpleasant. It is true that household trash in Palm Beach County is burned to generate electricity. So if you toss a water bottle into a trash can, it will contribute to the electrical grid, but the natural resources would not be recovered. (Please note: glass bottles do not combust.) Thank you so much for battling untruths while enjoying brews! 14 PALM BEACH COUNTY

Ryan with a night time snook
JUPITER INLET INSHORE
Capt. Craig
By Craig Korczynski
Happy Thanksgiving to all and happy fishing as well. Cool fronts start to penetrate our local area bringing comfortable weather. Water temperatures will start to cool down and predator fish begin to push into back bays, canals and coves. Snook fishing in Jupiter and Palm Beach will offer anglers steady action along seawalls, mangroves, shorelines and channel edges. Sight fishing on the flats is another option for those who enjoy watching the bite. A DOA C.A.L. 3” shad or DOA 3” shrimp presented in the right spot gets the drag screaming and for fly fanatics a popper fly or deceiver in white with chartreuse or green on white work Sam with his first tarpon great. Night fishing is a great alternative for snook fanatics. Target dock lights with a DOA shrimp, deceiver flies, live shrimp, crank baits and top water plugs to get your drag screaming.
The cooler water temperatures drive tarpon into back bays and canals offering excellent fishing for the silver king. Tarpon are prevalent inside the ICW, mangrove shorelines, docks and deep passes. Live shrimp drifted with the tide is the best bait., Other baits like mullet, pinfish and greenies work as well. Artificial enthusiasts get to jigging; the deeper passes offer plenty of shots using heavy flies on sinking fly line, DOA bait busters or DOA C.A.L. 3” shad in Arkansas glow or ale wife with a jig head. Tarpon this time of year can range from 10 to 60 pounds. The cooler weather is a tell-tale sign the pompano are returning to our local waters. The grass flats and deeper holes in the Intracoastal are great areas to locate the pompano. Pompano can be seen skipping in a boat wake as vessels slowly push through the shallows. Live shrimp, small buck tail jigs tipped with shrimp, sands fleas or docs goofy jig will get the drag screaming. November offers great action for big jack crevalle on the ICW. Jacks will pounce on Rapala skitter walks or live bait near seawalls, docks or open water flats. The jacks are schooling fish from 5 to 25 pounds. Battling jacks on light tackle or fly is something an angler will never forget. Come experience the tussle yourself. Captain Craig Korczynski 561-644-4371 • www.phlatsinshorefishing.com

4th Annual - A Hit Once Again! by Paul K. Ketrick, Founder, FishingCommunity.org
Photos provided by FishingCommunity.Org
As I sat down to write this article, I began reminiscing of our inaugural event on October 12, 2015. We were so excited with all the support we received, the beautiful day, and all the fun everyone had. Here is an excerpt from that article: “Open to all wounded, injured or ill heroes and their families, the event gave 65 anglers (many from West Palm Beach VA Medical Center, VA West Palm Beach Blind Rehabilitation Center, and the Salvation Army) an opportunity to fish, relax and enjoy camaraderie.” Well here it is 3 years and a day later - October 13 2018 and we held the 4th Annual Jupiter Inlet Veterans Family Fishing Classic. I have much the same thing to say except that I am more impressed with the local community, veterans, and their families. This year we had over 90 anglers and 50 volunteers! It was great to see the veterans, their families and the volunteers having a good time and enjoying the day. This event was for and about the veterans and their families. It was a success as seen with the many smiles of all participants, volunteers and partners. Lots of new friends were made and our community has grown stronger! For the 5th Annual Jupiter Inlet Veterans Family Fishing Classic, we are planning to do something special and would like community input. If you would like to participate, volunteer, sponsor or donate, contact FishingCommunity.Org at www. fishingcommunity.org, www.f4v.org or Paul K. Ketrick at paul@ketrick.org. We look forward to an event filled year next year. Please Join Us! You will regret it if you don’t… A special thanks goes out to Tommy Bahamas for providing a wonderful lunch and YKNOT Rod Builders, West Palm Beach Fishing Club, The Rod Room, XGeneration Discount Tackle, and Davis Elkins Foundation for providing the free raffle prizes. A giant shout out to Fishing Headquarters for supporting us with tackle and bait for all 4 Jupiter Inlet Veterans Family Fishing Classics! We have proved that working together as a community makes the difference. Saturday was a huge a success thanks to the non-profit FishingCommunity.Org (FCO), BLM, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Corps, Loxahatchee River Historical Society, the West Palm Beach Fishing Club, and multiple community sponsors working as one Community. Until the next event, keep fishing, stay in touch, and let us know what you have been catching in the beautiful Jupiter Inlet, Florida. Maddy Mollach – Bring it On!

JUNO BEACHPIER by Carla B. Mroz, Loggerhead Marine Contributing Writer There’s nothing quite like spending winter in South Florida. Temperatures become milder as November gives way to the holiday season. Along with this month’s cooler weather, great fishing can be expected at the Juno Beach Pier. Kids Fishing Program Anglers are likely to see bluefish, jacks on the Pier and blue runners, all of which can be caught on lures and bottom bait. As you’re spending time on the Pier this month, keep an eye out for Spanish mackerel too. These are best caught on lures and jigs. Croakers and whiting may be spotted, and these can be caught using bottom bait. Loggerhead Marinelife Center offers its year-round Private Fishing Lessons for adults and kids (ages 8 and up.) One-hour lessons are offered daily; scheduled based on availability. Cost: $25/angler (with own gear); $35/angler with rental gear. Bait not included. Contact Sue Thompson at sthompson@marinelife.org to register. If you accidentally hook a sea turtle while at the pier, here’s what to do: • Contact LMC’s 24-hour rescue hotline (561) 603-0211 • Gently reel the slack line, keeping the turtle at the surface of the water so it can breathe • Wait for LMC’s arrival to help For LMC and Juno Beach Pier updates, follow our social media, visit marinelife.org, or call (561) 627-8280. The full-service Pier House features a snack bar as well as a variety of fishing tackle, including rental poles and bait.

ON THE RANGE by Chuck Papp Contributing Writer One of the biggest decisions a hunter, or shooter must make is wood or plastic. Now we are not talking about the interior of their next 4x4 truck, we are talking about the stock of their rifle or shotgun. Which a person chooses solely depends upon them. There is not a right or wrong decision here, it’s what you like. Both have their pluses and minuses which you will have to weigh out. I’m a Pennsylvania farm boy; grew up during a time when there really wasn’t the composite option or those that were out there were expensive, or few and far between. Today and for the last 20 or so years things have changed drastically. The wood option has been around since day one. Wood has a certain touch and feel that you just are not going to get from plastic. You also have the look of the firearm as well. There is nothing pretty to look at on a black or camo painted stock. Not going to happen. There are firearm companies that have custom stock makers that travel the world looking for that rare cut of wood that will bring an exceptional look to the firearm. It is not uncommon for a rare stock blank to go into the tens of thousands of dollars. There are companies that have gone out and bought whole trees still standing because they know the quality that they are going to get. Now as pretty as they are, they are not as strong and as forgiving as composite. However very few wood stocks actually fail. With just a little maintenance they will last forever. I’ve seen my fair share of snow, rain, mud and everything else and have never had a problem; ever. The composite option does have its advantages though. For the one gun hunter that will not be buying a bunch of different rifles or shotguns, composite stocks offer a little more. Ease of maintenance. A composite stock when hunted in different climates tends to keep the accuracy of a rifle better. They can and often are lighter on those long hauls in the woods. If you are worried about matching your firearm to the environment you hunt, then changing the look is fast and easy with the right paint or Cerakote options available today. So, the choice is yours on which you want. A piece of advice given to me when I was young, was by a friend of my father who for a few years held the record for Dall Sheep. We were looking at a magazine that had an ad for one of those new fancy composite stocks and I asked him what he thought. Without hesitation he said, “ Son, life is way too short to hunt with an ugly gun.” From that day on my choice was simple.
Wood or Plastic - Top is a Marlin 336 in 30/30win, and bottom a Remington 700 in 270win. Classic wood or new composite.

n the last couple of years, ceramic coatings have become more commonplace in the marine market. This is due to ceramic coating’s ability to protect boats from UV damage, acid rain, salt and insect and bird droppings, to name a few. In addition, it adds great shine and gloss as well as restoring color. If you are looking to preserve your new boat or restore that dull, oxidized, washed-out hull and topside, give ceramics a look.
Some Common Misconceptions
I Don’t Need to Wash My Boat – A ceramic coating seals the surface, whether gelcoat or paint, creating a hydrophobic surface that is easy to clean. It is recommended you rinse the boat after use with fresh water and wash the boat once a month with a non-abrasive soap.
Ceramic Coatings are Permanent – Nothing is permanent. Ceramic coatings come off through abrasion. Coatings developed for the marine environment typically last 18-24 months before requiring re-application. Coatings for the auto market typically last 5 years, but there is a big difference when used on painted aluminum and gelcoat. The life expectancy of a ceramic coating is based on factors including: climate, storage, whether use is seasonal or year-round, exposure to UV, whether a boat is kept in the water, trailered or on a lift. Most coatings in southern states like Florida will last 18-24 months. Up north, they might endure for three or four seasons. Ceramic Will Peel Like a Clear Coat – A ceramic coating fills the pores on the surface and bonds to the surface, making it hydrophobic. It does not peel and is only removed through abrasion. I Must Use a Professional Detailer – I encourage people to use a professional detailer, but application of a ceramic coating is an option for experienced DIYers. The reason I suggest a detailer is that proper surface preparation is critical. All oxidization, stains and water marks must be removed, and necessary color correction should be conducted. Then, the surface should be polished to a high shine. Once the surface is consistent and in the best possible condition, the coating is applied. Some coatings are difficult to apply, others are self-leveling and easier. Ceramic Coating Will Make My Boat Look New – Unfortunately, ceramic coatings are not a miracle coating. With the right preparation, the boat will look as close to new as you can get given the condition of the gelcoat. On new boats, there’s a 10-15 percent bump in gloss and shine from new gelcoat. On older boats, readings on a gloss meter—which measures shine by reflecting light off the surface—go from single digits to north of 90, which is substantial. Hopefully this answers some of the questions about ceramic coatings. If you have other questions, reach out to me at questions@ glidecoat.com.

FISH & FISHING
MARK SOSIN
I
t took me awhile to realize it. Early in my career, my goal was to fish for as many different species as possible in freshwater and salt. That meant traveling from the Arctic (Alaska, Greenland and Iceland) to the tip of South America (Chile and Argentina) and everywhere in between. Travel also took me to Europe and Africa. I fished Scotland for salmon, the Cuanza River in Angola for husky tarpon, and interior waters in central Africa for tigerfish. Add to that probing the Amazon and its tributaries for peacock bass and other species. My passion for travel took me to countless countries in pursuit of various species. Sometimes, I would be one of very few Americans who fished remote waters in one land or another. And, it should be noted that I visited all 50 states and fished in many of them for a wide variety of species. When I started in the outdoor business, the late Joe Brooks told me to fish for as many species as possible everywhere in the world. I took his advice. As the years rolled by, people began to ask where my favorite place to fish was. Coming up with an answer wasn’t easy. After considerable thought and deliberation, I decided that if I had to fish only one place, my choice would be Miami, Fla. Let me tell you why. It’s easy to reach by plane, car or train. You can stay in a five star hotel (if that’s your choice) rather than some broken-down cabin in the wilderness. And you also have an incredible choice of restaurants. Biscayne Bay lies at Miami’s doorstep. Among dozens of species, you can focus on bonefish, permit and tarpon on the shallow flats. Government Cut is the main shipping channel leading from the bay to the Atlantic. Just a few miles offshore, the Gulf Stream flows northward carrying warm water that attracts many species of fish. I should point out that right inside the cut you can catch snook and other denizens. Sailfish are a prime target along the Gulf Stream, with an occasional blue marlin surprising anglers. There are also swordfish. Dolphin are plentiful along with tuna, wahoo, kingfish, bonito and many other species. A coral reef plus various submerged wrecks provide a home

w The
for grouper, snapper and other bottom dwellers, and it’s not unusual to find cobia. If redfish is your primary target, it’s a reasonably short drive to Flamingo in Everglades National Park, where the shallows host a large population of reds. Several other species make these waters their home including sharks, tarpon and other critters. I even caught a sawfish in this area once. The Florida Keys really begin in Miami, and it’s an easy drive to Key Largo and beyond. The Overseas Highway has been vastly improved, giving you access to excellent fishing waters. It’s difficult to find a place anywhere in the world that provides an angler an outstanding opportunity to enjoy fishing for some of the greatest gamefish. That’s why Miami holds the title of My Favorite Fishing Hole.

ooking for a vacation destination to take the whole family—a place where you can enjoy nature together and pluck dinner from the ocean and have it cooked that night? Look no farther than the Bahamas. Just a short plane or boat ride from Florida, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas consists of more than 700 islands, cays and islets set in crystal clear water. When it comes to diving, it’s hard to find a more beautiful place with such an abundance of sea life. The warm, clear water and shallow depths make it a diver’s paradise, suitable for beginners and advanced alike. Whether you’re interested in sightseeing on scuba, hunting while freediving or simply snorkeling, everyone is sure to have a good time. Very young divers can snorkel on the surface and are likely to see fish, turtles, stingrays and more. If you’re an underwater hunter, there’s no better place to find a large variety of delicious fish within easy freediving depths. Hogfish, snapper and grouper, as well as conch and lobster, can be found on the beautiful reef formations. It’s no accident that The Bahamas boasts some of the best spearfishing grounds in the world. It was the first country to establish a Land and Sea Park to protect the reefs. Spearfishing is only allowed while freediving and by use of slings or polespears. No scuba or spearguns are allowed. As opposed to being a deterrent, the regulations have made slinging and polespearing a fun and popular trend. While some might consider it a challenge, the clear shallow
water and abundance of fish work in your favor, and no one goes hungry in the Bahamas! Regulations allow conchs and lobsters (during open season), as well as 20 scale fish like groupers and snappers. That’s more than enough to feed a large family. Always double check for the latest regulations, as these may change. If you are hunting, you will want to charter an experienced captain, such as Capt. Luke Maillis with Reel Addictive Charters out of Long Island or Capt. Jesse Leopold with Andros Beach Club out of South Andros Island. If you’re not into hunting—no worries. You can scuba or snorkel on one of the many guided sightseeing charters, which will take you to swim with sharks, dolphins and/or stingrays. There’s Big Game Club Scuba Center or Bimini Undersea out of Bimini, UNEXSO in Freeport, and Stuart Cove’s in Nassau. There’s also AllStar Liveaboards, which offer 4- to 7-day trip packages. At the end of the day, there’s nothing more satisfying than gathering over a meal and talking about your underwater experience. If you picked up seafood along the way, there are many restaurants on the islands that will be happy to cook your catch. This is the type vacation that’s sure to generate fond memories that last a lifetime. There’s a reason they say, “It’s better in the Bahamas.” Check it out and find out why!

hen Bob Sundstrom, of Odin Lure Company, created his Oozzie Jig in 2011, he knew right away it was something special. It worked wonders on the New Hampshire coast for cod, haddock and stripers, and he patented his new technology that allows hard baits to disperse a steady stream of fish-attracting scent. Odin Lure Company is the evolution of that design. With its line of topwater poppers and jerkbaits, Odin handcrafts high-quality lures that appeal to all a fish’s senses to draw strikes. From largemouth bass to tuna, anything that will hit a plug will slam Odin’s FRIGG lures. And with the added attraction of a scent trail, FRIGGs are proven on the water to out-catch other lures. “We’ve all had fish follow a lure right to the boat,” Sundstrom said. “You caught that fish’s curiosity through sight and sound, but you haven’t convinced the fish that it’s looking at something to eat.” That’s where the scent system comes into play. For many species, scent is the most important sense utilized in targeting prey. FRIGG
lures use sight, sound and smell to convince even the wariest fish to feed. An empty FRIGG will draw strikes as well as any lure out there, but it’s almost unfair to the fish when injected with a scent product called Fish Smack. Fish Smack was formulated by Bioedge specifically for use with Odin lures. It is a 100 percent natural extract of the oils, enzymes and amino acids from baitfish. It has the viscosity of grease, which makes it uniquely designed for Odin’s “bait chamber.” On retrieve, water pushes through a rubber membrane on the front of the lure and past the Fish Smack in the bait chamber. Scented water exits through laceration points designed to look like gill slits on the lure’s sides. FRIGG lures leave a scented bubble trail that adds an element of realism and triggers strikes. On top of that, the residual baitfish scent in the water acts like chum to attract fish and spur feeding activity. A single injection of Fish Smack will keep the lure “hot” through more than an hour of casts and retrieves. And FRIGGs are remarkably versatile on the retrieve. A concave face gives the seductive wobbling and walking action of a stunned baitfish. When slowed down, the popper’s loud pops, bubbles and gurgles are like ringing the dinner bell. Largemouth, pike, tarpon, redfish, snook, trout, mahi-mahi and tuna are just a few species Odin’s FRIGG poppers and jerkbaits have caught in testing. There are sizes and colors to match whatever fishing you do. Fish Smack also matches the hatch with several different “flavors”— from herring to squid—that appeal to your targeted game fish. All Odin lures are made in the U.S.A. of high quality materials and extra-strong components. Sundstrom hand paints them himself in Odin’s New Hampshire facility, which means he personally oversees the quality of each lure produced. For more information on Odin Lure Company’s revolutionary new lures, see odinlures.com.

laska, the last frontier, is truly a remarkable destination that every angler should experience. Believe it or not, river fishing in Alaska can be done easily without a guide. I like to call it a “do-it-yourself destination.” The famous Kenai Peninsula is a place I have traveled to for several amazing fishing trips. The beautiful scenery in this area alone is worth the trip, and the number of close encounters with wild bull moose, bears, elk, bald eagles, etc. were truly amazing. While there, I find myself not wanting to sleep, since the summer days are never ending and the fishing is usually catching! My last trip to the fabled Kenai River was a last-minute journey

that proved to be one of my most amazing trips to the peninsula. It was mid-July, and I had been watching the salmon counts and monitoring the run charts for a few weeks. This was going to be my first attempt at catching the larger second run of sockeye salmon. Reports told of massive schools in Cook Inlet that were moving toward the river mouth. Predictions of a record season were starting to fill the nets of the commercial fishermen. As they started to near the river mouth in the town of Kenai, estimates of their arrival at my anticipated ambush point in the small town of Soldotna began to filter in. It was now time to break the news to my wife of this last-minute fishing trip from Texas to Alaska. Fortunately, she understands my passion for the sport and was in full support. The facts that sockeye is her favorite fish to eat and that I had a free airline ticket didn’t hurt. Four days later, the salmon and I hit the banks of the Kenai River in downtown Soldotna. Not only was its perfect timing for the arrival of these large acrobatic fighters, Alaska also increased the limit from three salmon per day to six. Jackpot! For some reason, the crowds were also lighter than what I had witnessed on previous trips. I was not complaining. I was fortunate to harvest my limit each day. With easy limits of salmon in the morning, I found time to head to the Russian River for some rainbow trout on the fly. This is where I had a 15-foot encounter with a momma bear and her two cubs. Fortunately, she didn’t feel threatened as the cubs were crossing the river on a fallen tree. She glanced at me, then to her cubs, back at me, and proceeded to follow her cubs across the river. I will never forget the sheer awe of that experience. A visit to Kenai Peninsula would not be complete without a hike to view Exit Glacier and the Harding Icefields. I have made this hike three times, and if I ever return I will definitely do it again. Capt. Michael Okruhlik is the inventor of Controlled Descent Lures and the owner of www.MyCoastOutdoors.com.

FLY FISHING
Redfish & Tarpon NOW!
T
here may be no better saltwater fish to take on the fly than the tarpon. Hard fighting, high jumping and beauty make this gamefish the holy grail of saltwater fly fishing. However, targeting tarpon on the fly might seem a little intimidating to some. The thought of making a 60-foot cast in a 15-knot wind and presenting a fly to a fish pushing 100 pounds keeps some anglers from venturing onto the flats. Anyone looking to tangle with a tarpon on the fly should first get their chops down by targeting baby tarpon. There is no better year-round fly fishing destination for baby tarpon than the Yucatan Peninsula. Campeche My first experience with Yucatan baby tarpon was the in the Campeche area. The city of Campeche is a wonderful colonial community nestled along the mangrove-lined coast six hours west of Cancun. The city has spec-
t a r p on t o grow up to 40 pounds. Anglers make casts to large schools of rolling tarpon over shallow eel grass flats early in the morning and late in the afternoon. The town of San Felipe is quaint and offers some of the best local seafood in the Yucatan. Rods, Reels And Tackle The tackle set up for Yucatan tarpon is simple. I carry two rigs. The workhorse is a 9-foot, 8-weight rod matched with a large arbor reel that can hold 200 yards of 20- or 30-pound backing. I fish a saltwater taper floating line. The second set up is a 9-foot, 9-weight rod and reel matched with a 30-foot intermediate sink tip and a shorter leader of 7 to 9 feet. This outfit works great subsurface. Leaders

Flies My favorite flies for baby tarpon are size 2 Gurglers and Toad patterns. Both these flies will cover any situation you may encounter. My go-to colors are red/ black, chartreuse/white and purple/black.

Baby tarpon can be spooky, so keep the fly line out of the tarpon’s field of vision, especially in calm conditions. I suggest a 10- to 12foot leader of 20-pound test with a floating line. You’ll also need a short 40-pound bite tippet.
