The tournament begins on Friday, September 2 at 5 pm and will conclude with the final weighin on Saturday, September 3 at 5pm. It will begin at the Charlotte Harbor in Port Charlotte, Florida and will conclude down the road at the Four Points Sheraton in Punta Gorda, Florida. With prizes up to $14,625, anglers should be aware of which option they think will suit them best. Entering the Rockin’ and Reelin’ Fishing tournament requires boats to have a minimum of two anglers for inshore competitors and a minimum of four for offshore boats. The price per inshore entry is $350 and $450 for an offshore entry. Any additional anglers apart from the required two and four, respectively, will be an additional $50 per angler. Proceeds from the Third Annual Rockin’ and Reelin’ Tournament will benefit several charities and local organizations in the Port Charlotte community. This year, you can be part of an event that supports the following: • Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Sun Coast • Future Builders of America • Port Charlotte High School NJROTC • Charlotte-DeSoto Building Industry Association Showing support for the local Port Charlotte community is important, and what better way to do so than participating in or watching a fishing tournament.

If you think you can land the biggest fish in Port Charlotte, test your skills at the Third Annual Rockin’ and Reelin’ Inshore/ Offshore Fishing Tournament in Port Charlotte, FL.

IGFA RELEASE RECOMMENDATIONS Modifying the types of hooks you use can significantly affect a fish’s chances for survival after it is released. When fishing with natural bait (dead or alive), IGFA strongly encourages the use of non-offset circle hooks. Extensive research on species from salmon to sailfish has demonstrated that circle hooks gut hook significantly fewer fish without sacrificing catch rates. Lures that have treble hooks should have the barbs bent down or removed to facilitate easier hook removal. Interested in the science behind circle hooks? Read Circle hooks, 'J' hooks and drop-back time: a hook performance study of the south Florida recreational live-bait fishery for sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus published in Fisheries Management and Ecology in 2007.
If you’re not going to photograph your fish or document it for record purposes, the best method is to not remove the fish from the water. In-water releases can be aided by the use of de-hooking devices that eliminate the need to boat the fish and keep hands safe distances away from the fish. If the fish has swallowed the hook, it is much better for the angler to cut the leader as close to the fish as possible, rather than trying to forcibly remove the hook. If a fish needs to be removed from the water to remove the hook and/or document it for record purposes, anglers should use either their hands or knotless, rubberized landing net. Most small to moderately large sized fish can be landed by hand. Ideally, this should be done with wet hands or soft, wet gloves to minimize slime and scale loss. Lip gripping devices may be used to help subdue fish. However, they should not be used to hoist fish vertically out of the water, as this can cause damage to jaw muscle and bone as well as to internal organs. The best method for removing fish from the water is to grip the fish or the lower jaw and support the fish’s underside. Again, the point is always to hold fish horizontally and not vertically.

S
outh Florida is one of the most vulnerable areas on the United States coast for a hurricane. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew, the most powerful storm in Miami-Dade County, registering as a Category V, and the third strongest in U.S. history with sustained winds in excess of 155 mph, came ashore and destroyed many marinas in south Miami-Dade County. Hurricanes that exceed 110 mph can be expected to occur in south Florida about once every 10 years. The population of Miami-Dade County continues to increase, bringing many boaters with little hurricane experience. The wind will be the biggest enemy. There are several things to do to help minimize its overwhelming affects. Knowing how to secure your boat and where to keep your boat are the two primary concerns. The most important thing to remember is DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! Being prepared in advance by having a plan and practicing your plan will help to protect your life and property.

Southwest Florida’s warm gulf waters are paradise found for the discriminating boater and fisherman. But hours - even minutes, of exposure to the sun’s intense rays can do a lifetime of damage to our skin. “We are here to enjoy the outdoors and all benefits of this beautiful area,” said Venice Avenue Dermatologist, Jeffrey R. Hunek, M.D. “So go ahead. Go out and boat, fish, swim, and enjoy the beach just do so sensibly and with the proper protection.” Dr. Hunek offers his sun protection guide for those on and off the water: Clothing counts • Clothing is your best protection. Choose lightweight sun protective clothing with a tight weave and a UPF rating of 50 or higher, and cover as much skin as possible. Long sleeves, gloves, neck gaters or buffs, are all great ways to shield your skin from the sun. Pick a sunscreen, any sunscreen • There are so many choices for sunscreen. Don’t overthink it. Find the one you like the best and use it every day - on all exposed skin. Choose and SPF of 30 or higher. Dr. Hunek says his favorite sunscreen is the one you will actually use. • Lay it on thick and reapply. Make sure you use enough of it. At least a shot glass full of sunscreen each time you apply. A bottle should not last very long, especially when applying every hour or so. • Apply to ALL exposed areas of skin. Don’t forget your feet! Avoid peak sun hours • Watch the UV index and avoid peak times, usually between 10 am and 2pm.
Throw some shade • Or at least seek shade when you can. If you can’t find natural shade out on the open water, create it yourself. Consider installing a bimini top on your boat, it’s a great way to block the sun’s intense rays. Don’t forget your shades • Choose sunglasses with good coverage all around the eyes. When on correctly, they should prevent light from reaching the eyes from the frame’s corners. This helps to protect the delicate skin around the eyes, too. Put a lid on it • Carry your shade with you and wear a wide brimmed hat. The skin on your face will thank you. Check yourself • Skin cancer won’t check itself. Perform monthly self-skin exams. If you notice any changes…. Seek professional help • Even if you don’t notice a change, it helps to get a second pair of (professional) eyes on your skin yearly. Make sure to schedule an annual exam with a dermatology provider. Jeffrey R. Hunek, M.D., has practiced dermatology in Charlotte and Sarasota counties since 2005. His office is located in Venice at 897 E. Venice Ave., Suite A. He is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. Dr. Hunek provides comprehensive dermatology care for adolescents and adults. While specializing in skin cancer detection and treatment, he also has an interest in medical dermatology, including psoriasis, eczema, acne, rosacea, skin infections, and autoimmune diseases. He utilizes dermoscopy when evaluating all patients to provide the most thorough evaluation. He is a member of the Florida Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery and the Sarasota Dermatological Society. Dr. Hunek may be reached at 941/486-1404 or www.VeniceAveDerm.com
